What is the difference between melamine, porcelain, and glass whiteboards?

Melamine whiteboards have a painted coating over hardboard — inexpensive, adequate for light use, but prone to ghosting (shadow staining) within 1–2 years and not magnetic. Porcelain-on-steel whiteboards have a kiln-fired ceramic coating on a steel backer — extremely durable (25+ year surface warranty), erasable without ghosting, and magnetic. Glass whiteboards have a tempered glass writing surface — premium appearance, completely non-porous so markers wipe off perfectly, but not magnetic without a steel backing. For professional offices, porcelain is the standard; for executive spaces, glass is increasingly common. Call OfficeFurniture2go.com at 1-800-460-0858.
