Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Slice, a bustling pizzeria in Bristol, was tired of constantly reprinting their dessert menus and weekly specials. They needed a more flexible and professional-looking solution for their tables.
"These Foamex boards are absolutely spot on. We can quickly write up our 'Dessert of the Week' with a liquid chalk pen, and it looks so much tidier than our old laminated cards. They just wipe clean instantly. A small change that has made our tables look much smarter."
Leo Carter – Manager
The switch completely eliminated their weekly printing costs and saved staff valuable time during setup, while enhancing the overall table aesthetic.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, peel off any protective film and wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth.
- Place the board into a suitable A5-sized easel or stand (sold separately).
- For best results, use good quality liquid chalk pens – they provide the most vibrant and easy-to-clean text.
- 'Prime' new pens by shaking well and pressing the nib on a spare surface until the ink flows.
Keeping It Going
- To update, simply wipe the board clean with a damp cloth. Microfibre cloths work brilliantly.
- For stubborn pen marks left on for a long time, use a dedicated chalkboard cleaning solution.
- Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as they can scratch or damage the smooth surface.
- Store flat when not in use for long periods to maintain its perfect shape.

Explore more from BeaumontWhat is Foamex and Why Does It Matter for Your Signage?
Ever wondered what makes a 'Foamex' board different from plain plastic? Foamex is the brand name for a type of rigid PVC foam sheet. The magic is in its structure: it's made of compressed foam, which makes it incredibly lightweight but also strong and rigid. Think of it like a high-tech, waterproof version of a mount board used for picture framing. Unlike a simple plastic sheet that can be flimsy, this Beaumont Foamex display board won't bend or warp in its stand. And because the surface is smooth and non-porous, liquid chalk glides on and wipes off without leaving frustrating 'ghost' marks behind, keeping your signs looking crisp and new every single day.
