How Glass Can Transform Class
Classroom design has come a long way. Stale, one-room 18th-century schoolhouses have evolved into upscale, bright, open spaces donned with space-aged tech. But one technology has been there since the beginning: glass. Tempered glass, specifically, has modernized learning spaces in countless ways. It’s durable, clean, sleek, and supports technology. But schools use glass in other ways that few know about.
The Glassboard
Glassboards have replaced melamine whiteboards in schools for good reason. They don’t scratch easily and never stain, staying pristine for life and saving schools from replacing whiteboards. Their sleek design adds modern style and reflects natural light for a bright and open feel. They’re made with tempered glass to withstand busy classroom life. Best of all, they’re easy to clean. No need for harsh cleaners and elbow grease. Glassboards erase like new every time and need little ongoing maintenance, if any.
Projection Board
Remember that overhead projector in school? The loud industrial machine throwing dim, blurry images of your teacher’s illegible notes on a felt pull-down projector screen swaying under the AC? Glass is far preferable here as well. The Clarus View board, for instance, serves as both a whiteboard and projection screen. Teachers can display media and write notes directly on the glass surface. Its design keeps images crisp and vibrant, so students near and far can see. And the sleek glass keeps the overall look clean and minimal.
Media Display
Locker rooms use TVs to review footage and other media, but they can become damaged after years of use. Glass can safeguard TVs while providing a scratch-resistant surface for writing. Enter Glide TV—a stunning glass display case for TVs featuring two gliding glass doors. It elevates the look of the locker room while protecting your TV under a tempered layer of customizable glass that will last through every win and loss.
Customize with Colors and Images
With glass, be it a whiteboard, projection board, media display, wayfinding, and more, you can customize it with school colors or designs. Uplift a room with bright pastels, infuse brand colors in elevator banks and bathrooms, or print school fight song lyrics in welcome areas and beyond. With glass, you can pick custom shapes to suit every need—even tabletops of writable glass. With endless custom options, you’ll have no trouble designing the space students and staff deserve.
