Whiteboards & Boards — Expert Answer
How do porcelain, glass, and melamine whiteboard surfaces compare for daily use?
Porcelain (vitreous enamel on steel): Best durability, ghosting resistance, and lifespan (10–15 years+). Accepts magnets. More expensive. Glass: Best aesthetic, near-zero ghosting, stylish modern appearance. Doesn't accept standard magnets unless magnetic-backed. Most expensive. Melamine: Lowest cost, acceptable for light use, prone to ghosting after 1–3 years of daily use. Not magnetic. For commercial settings, porcelain or glass is the professional choice.
