MARKERBOARD AND CHALKBOARD WRITING SURFACES
Claridge LCS® Markerboards
LCS 24 gauge porcelain enamel steel markerboards are manufactured in accordance
with the Performance Specifications for porcelain enamel steel markerboards,
as established by the Porcelain Enamel Institute. By carefully controlled methods,
the enamel is:
- Applied automatically to a uniform thickness
- Fired under rigidly controlled temperatures
- Fused permanently to the steel
This process produces a colorfast and highly scratch and stain resistant surface
with unexcelled marking and erasing qualities. Claridge maintains the highest
quality standards to provide a long-wearing surface with a smooth, velvety touch
for easy, legible writing and clean erasing. LCS dry-erase markerboards will accept
magnetic aids and are available in five colors. Color charts available on request.

with the Performance Specifications for porcelain enamel steel chalkboards,
as established by the Porcelain Enamel Institute. By carefully controlled methods,
the enamel is:

- Fused permanently to the steel
This process produces a colorfast and highly scratch and stain resistant surface
with unexcelled chalking and erasing qualities. Claridge maintains the highest
