The Beaumont Easel Board is one of those simple, no-nonsense items that just works. It’s not flashy, but its strength is its simplicity and durability.

- Best Feature: The surface is fantastic with liquid chalk, giving sharp, non-smudge lines.
- Heads Up: Remember to buy an easel and chalk pens separately for immediate use.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Squid, a popular seaside bistro in Penzance, Cornwall, needed to replace their tatty, laminated paper menus for daily specials. They were tired of the constant printing and the unprofessional look after just a few days of use.
"We bought a few of these Beaumont A4 easel signs to announce our fresh catches each morning. They look so much smarter on the tables and the bar. Our staff can update them in seconds, and they’ve completely elevated how we present our daily-changing menu."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
The switch saved the bistro significant time each morning and cut their monthly printing costs for daily menus to zero.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack the board and peel off any protective film.
- Find a suitable easel or stand to place your board on for best visibility.
- Prime the board before first use by covering it with chalk and wiping it clean, if you're using traditional chalk.
- Grab your liquid chalk pens and get creative with your message!
Keeping It Going
- For best results, wipe clean daily with a damp cloth and a little cleaning solution.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which can damage the surface.
- Let the board dry completely before writing on it again.
- Store flat when not in use to prevent it from warping over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use regular dry-wipe marker pens on this board?
A: No, this board is designed specifically for liquid chalk pens or traditional chalk. Dry-wipe markers may not erase properly and could stain the surface.
Q: Is the board weatherproof for outdoor use?
A: The Foamex material is water-resistant, but it's very lightweight and best suited for indoor or sheltered outdoor use, as it could blow away in the wind.
Q: Does this product include an easel or stand?
A: No, the easel, chalk pens, and cleaning solutions are all sold separately, allowing you to choose the accessories that best fit your needs.
Q: How do I clean chalk residue off the board effectively?
A: A damp cloth is usually sufficient for liquid chalk. For stubborn marks, a dedicated chalkboard cleaner will restore it to a perfect black finish.
Q: Is the board double-sided?
A: This particular model is a single-sided display board, designed to face customers from one direction.
Q: How thick is the Beaumont easel board 3mm version?
A: As the name suggests, it has a depth of 3mm, which provides good rigidity without being bulky.
Q: Can I drill holes in it to hang it on a wall?
A: Yes, Foamex is easy to drill through, so you could mount it on a wall with screws if you prefer. Just be careful not to crack it by drilling too close to the edge.
Q: What is the main benefit of Foamex over a wooden chalkboard?
A: Foamex provides a smoother, non-porous surface, which prevents 'ghosting' (faint marks left after cleaning). It's also lighter and less susceptible to moisture damage than wood.

Ever wondered what makes Foamex different from a normal bit of plastic? Think of it like a dense, solid foam sandwich. It has a rigid core but is surprisingly lightweight, making it tough without being heavy. Unlike a standard plastic sheet that can be brittle and crack, or cardboard that disintegrates at the first sign of a spill, Foamex is built to last in a busy commercial environment. Its smooth, non-porous surface is the real hero here – it’s the perfect canvas for liquid chalk, allowing for crisp, vibrant writing that wipes away without leaving any ghostly residue behind. So, you get the durability of plastic with the writing quality of a premium chalkboard.
