How to Use Glassboards in Schools, Colleges, and Workspaces: Discover the Versatile LINTEX Range

Glassboards have rapidly become one of the most sought-after tools in modern educational and business environments — and for good reason. Sleek, durable, and endlessly versatile, they combine form and function in a way traditional whiteboards simply can’t match.

At Presentation Spaces, our LINTEX glassboards collection includes a wide variety of designs and sizes, offering flexible solutions for classrooms, seminar rooms, staffrooms, offices, boardrooms, and creative spaces. But despite their popularity, many of our customers still underestimate just how flexible and impactful these boards can be.

This guide explores what makes glassboards so useful — and how to specify the right one for your space. Whether you’re teaching a class of 30 pupils or leading a strategy session in a corporate hub, glassboards from LINTEX offer an elegant, practical solution that enhances collaboration and learning.

Why Choose a Glassboard?

Before diving into specific use cases, it’s worth outlining what sets glassboards apart:

• Durability: Made from toughened, scratch-resistant tempered glass, they last far longer than melamine or lacquered steel alternatives.
• Clean Writing & Erasing: They don’t ghost or stain like traditional boards, making them perfect for frequent, high-impact use.
• Stylish & Professional: With a modern, frameless look, they elevate the appearance of any space — particularly important in offices, reception areas, or design studios.
• Colour Options: LINTEX boards are available in a wide palette of shades, including classic white, soft pastels, and bold feature colours.
• Magnetic Options: Many models are magnetic, offering dual use for writing and pinning materials.
• Flexible Mounting: Wall-mounted, mobile, or modular systems are available to suit any room layout.

Top 8 Ways to Use Glassboards in Education & Business Settings

1. Interactive Teaching in Classrooms and Lecture Theatres

Glassboards offer a vibrant, easy-to-clean surface for writing, illustrating, and planning lessons. Their crisp surface and light reflection help text stand out clearly — even from the back of the room.

In schools, they’re perfect for:

• Daily timetables
• Language and STEM subjects
• Group brainstorming
• Live drawing or annotation

And because they’re available in soft colours, they’re ideal for inclusive teaching, helping reduce visual stress for SEN learners.

2. Staffroom and Departmental Planning Boards

Transform any staffroom wall into a hub of planning and communication. Use glassboards to track:

• Timetables and rotas
• INSET schedules
• Term planning and events
• Departmental notices

3. University Seminar Rooms and Breakout Spaces

In higher education, glassboards encourage active participation and free thinking. Whether you’re running tutorials, study groups, or student-led sessions, a writable wall helps bring ideas to life. Combine several boards to create an entire writing wall for collaborative thinking.

4. Creative Studios and Design Workshops

If you’re in architecture, product design, or marketing, glassboards offer a perfect surface for sketching, mapping out campaigns, or pinning up samples. Their sleek, frameless design complements creative environments beautifully.

5. Boardrooms and Meeting Rooms

Impress clients, colleagues and investors with a beautifully presented space. Glassboards offer a more sophisticated look than standard whiteboards and are available in corporate-friendly colours such as charcoal, slate, navy or soft grey.

Use them for:

• Agendas and meeting notes
• Strategic planning
• Workflow mapping
• Confidential brainstorming (easy to clean, with no residual ghosting)

6. Reception and Welcome Areas

First impressions count. Adding a glassboard in a reception or corridor space gives you a practical but professional way to share messages, celebrate achievements, or welcome visitors. The smooth, colour-customisable surface helps your brand or school identity shine through.

7. CPD and Training Rooms

Whether you’re delivering CPD for teachers or running business training, a glassboard creates a flexible surface to support interactive sessions, demonstrations, and group input. Unlike digital screens, glassboards never crash, and don’t require logins or compatibility!

8. Mobile Flexibility for Changing Layouts

The LINTEX range includes several mobile glassboards on wheels, perfect for multi-use spaces like halls, breakout rooms, and open-plan areas. They move easily and can be used back-to-back, allowing two teams to work simultaneously.

Choosing the Right Glassboard for Your Needs

When specifying a glassboard, consider:

• Wall space: Do you want a single board, or a full wall of writable surface?
• Mounting options: Fixed or mobile? Magnetic or non-magnetic?
• Accessibility: Consider height, reachability, and visibility for all users.
• Colour scheme: Choose colours that enhance focus or complement your décor.
• Acoustic needs: Mobile glassboards with fabric backs are ideal for noisy environments.
