  • Indoor Only: Its wooden construction isn't suitable for outdoor A-board use.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Stag's Head Inn in Bakewell, Derbyshire needed to replace their flimsy, cheap-looking menu boards. They wanted something that matched the traditional, cosy feel of their Peak District pub and  would stand the test of time.

"Customers notice the little things. This framed chalkboard looks like it's always been a part of the pub. It's sturdy, easy to update, and  makes our specials board a real focal point instead of an afterthought."

David Mitchell – Landlord

The pub reported that daily specials sales have seen a noticeable lift since they made the menu more visible and  appealing with the new board.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Choose a visible, well-lit indoor location away from direct heat or moisture.
  • Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and  suitable for the weight of the board.
  • Use appropriate screws and  wall plugs for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick).
  • Mount it securely, using a spirit level to ensure it hangs perfectly straight.

Keeping It Going

  • Use good quality liquid chalk pens or traditional chalk for the best results.
  • Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated chalkboard cleaner.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads as they can scratch the blackboard surface.
  • Give the wooden frame a quick wipe with a dry duster to keep it looking its best.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Chalkboard

Not sure which board is right for your space? Here are a few things to consider.

Size and  Placement

Measure your intended space first. Will it be for a full menu or just a 'special of the day'? Ensure it fits the wall without overwhelming it.

Frame Style

The frame should match your decor. An oak frame menu chalkboard suits rustic or traditional settings, while metal might suit a modern space.

Indoor vs. Outdoor

This board is for indoors only. If you need an A-board for the pavement, look for weather-resistant materials designed to handle the British weather.

Writing Surface

Look for a non-porous surface like this one. It prevents 'ghosting', where old writing remains faintly visible after cleaning, keeping your messages sharp.

Mounting & Fixings

Consider how you'll hang it. Most boards come with fixing points, but always use screws and  plugs that are suitable for your specific wall type.

More Than Just Wood: Why American Redwood Matters

While many chalkboards use basic pine or even composite wood, this Beaumont board is framed with American Redwood. Think of it like the difference between a standard kitchen worktop and  one made of solid oak. Redwood is known for its natural strength and  impressive resistance to warping in the fluctuating temperatures of an indoor environment. This means the frame won't bend, twist or crack over time, preventing your board from looking tired and  unprofessional after just a few months. It's this commitment to better materials that ensures your investment stays looking sharp and  professional for years, not just seasons.
