Ceramic Steel and Hygienic Ceramic Steel are the most popular writing surfaces for chalkboards and whiteboards, with superior writability, durability and erasability. They are made for busy offices and boisterous classrooms: a super-smooth surface that erases like magic and resists scratches, stains and fading for as long as it is in use, guaranteed.
The short answer
Ceramic Steel is a vitreous (glass-derived) enamel fused to steel, creating a surface that is smooth, magnetic and highly durable, with a 25-year surface warranty. Hygienic Ceramic Steel adds silver micro particles that eliminate bacteria and viruses on the surface within 24 hours, for places where cleanliness is vital.
Easy on the eyes, ready for projection
The low gloss surface reduces glare, giving a projection-ready surface in any learning environment.
With its superior clarity, which reduces fatigue and strain to the eyes, the audience can concentrate and experience a truly exceptional presentation.

High resistance, in detail
Ceramic Steel is a vitreous (also called glass-derived) enamel fused to steel to create a surface that is smooth, magnetic and, at the same time, highly durable.
The surface is resistant to stains, scratches and graffiti. It will not combust or release toxic fumes in the event of a fire. It also resists anything that attempts to permeate the surface, whether that is bacteria or harsh chemicals.

Whiteboards
Our whiteboard material is very impermeable. It can be written on with dry erase, semi-permanent, water-soluble or permanent marker, chalk, pen or crayon without damaging the surface.
Dry erase marker ink wipes off easily with a dry cloth or a standard eraser, and semi-permanent or permanent marker ink can be removed with a solvent-based cleaner. The ultra-smooth writing surface, which can also be used for projection, lets dry erase markers glide with minimal friction, eliminating ghosting and improving erasability.
Chalkboards
Ceramic Steel chalkboard surfaces have a superior matte finish that readily accepts chalk, giving a sharp, unbroken line with less pressure and maximum surface adherence. The smooth, blemish-free surface produces less chalk dust for a cleaner, healthier environment, while the ultra-matte appearance eases eye strain, with no glare and high contrast.

Silver ion technology
Since ancient times, silver has been known to keep surfaces clean. These silver micro particles slowly release silver ions over time and actively work to keep the surface clean for the lifetime of the product. This makes it ideal for demanding environments where cleanliness is vital.
The Hygienic Ceramic Steel surface stays clean and sanitary, making it an ideal application for a variety of public spaces such as schools, workplaces, airports, public restrooms, healthcare facilities and more.
