Made using recycled tire material, the resilient rubber offers a self-healing bulletin surface that is long-lasting. Rubber is elastic and wants to hold its original shape, meaning when you remove a tack or pin, the surface will expand to fill in any holes. Repeated tacking won't damage the board, keeping the surface strong and your paper bulletins from falling to the floor. The elasticity of our recycled rubber tackboard makes it the perfect choice for classrooms and offices that use bulletin boards daily. If you work in a building with specific cleaning and health standards, the rubber tack surface is washable, allowing you to disinfect the board without damaging the surface. Also, Ghent's rubber bulletin board is stain- and fade- resistant, fighting against the wear and tear of daily use. The textured rubber surface is paired with an aluminum frame that complements the design of any room. All bulletin boards are shipped to you in Ghent's worry-free packaging, designed specifically for shipping bulletin boards damage-free.
