Quartet glass boards?

[Tim O'Neil]

Does anyone have any experience with Quartet glass boards as opposed to standard whiteboards? Anything, good or bad, would be useful.  Our facilities folks wish to start installing them.

Not specifically with Quartet glass boards but we are working with Clarus Glass boards and tables.  We are using Clarus for custom glass table tops in our collaborative classrooms.  Glass tables work great for student collaboration.  The students love being able to gather around a table and make notes and ideas right on the table top itself.

 

Glass board work great and are easily cleaned off.  One big benefit is if someone uses a sharpie on it it comes off rather easily with glass cleaner.  Although I wouldn’t advertise this to your campus.

The trick to getting permanent marker off of glass and whiteboards is to go over the permanent ink with a dry-erase marker thoroughly.  Then you can simply erase it and the permanent ink will come off the surface.  As I understand it, it's something about how the dry erase ink bonds to the glass/whiteboard surface that it actually gets under the permanent ink.  Or something.

This may be a dumb question but, not having any background with glass
table tops, how sturdy are glass tops? I can see a student dropping a
backpack or something on it and breaking the glass if it is anything
like a glass coffee table top.

Sounds like an opportunity for some stress testing, Steve. You could try a backpack, book, cinder block, sledgehammer, Superfly Jimmy Snuka; whatever you can find. Maybe you can set up a live stream like Harry did a few weeks ago for the rest of us to observe.

The first one I installed was a standard white glass dining room table at the school I used to work for. That was in 2006 and it was still going strong when I left in Oct. The Clarus glass tops are being install on top of existing tables saving us money as we use the existing tables as the supports for the glass. This give extra under protection of the glass. Clarus table tops come in numerous thicknesses to prevent what you are talking about.

We have some Clarus glass board products and they're pretty solid.  But, our $ watchers notice the significant, potential cost savings with Quartet's product. So, we'll see.

The table idea is very good!

We’ve been using Goldray glass/magnetic boards in a couple of rooms and they work out well.  Can use ay marker – permanent comes off with regular white board cleaner.
