    Hello @Mark , your video was an isnpiration for a proyect, I was looking for a regular board, but glass whiteboard gave me the idea of recycling old pieces of glass to hang them to my white wall and use them as such. Thank you very much, best regards.

      Hi. The costs of glass whiteboard in my country in Amazon seems pretty expensive. Can I just use frosted tempered glass? Or is this some different type of glass?

    I got a magnatic glass board 36X48 for $40 from a office being closed, looks brand new. Installation was easy. Problem is that I got new markers for glass board and I notice it's not easy to clean as my regular white board. I have to apply pressure on the writing to clean it. Is it normal? Same issue even if I try to clean it right after writing something. Any tip will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    what about the glare/light reflection of the surface. It seems from min. 5.00 to be hard to read due to increased light reflection. I think this is the main down side?

    It's be really nice to find one I could install a map behind the glass. I have laminated maps I've used in the past, but it's a PITA to remove the marker after a while

      They make completely clear (unfrosted) versions too. Search for the Ultra Clear version on Amazon or you can use this direct link (affiliate) amzn.to/4dpkL1W

    Bought, almost installed by when we tried the magnetic letters I bought for the kids (and that stuck well to our cheap board,) they just fell off. The glass is too thick or the magnet not strong enough! Not sure what to get- it was pretty. Any thoughts for pretty board with great magnetic power, doesn't ghost and doesn't warp?

    • @TopHomeowner
      @TopHomeowner  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Glass is the best surface to prevent ghosting. The only magnets that will work with glass white boards are neodymium (aka rare earth) magnets unfortunately. Another option you could try is a magnetic porcelain board

    Hey man Idk if you can answer this. But i bought a pen glass white board it's supposedly magnetic and none of my magnetic markets is sticking. The only magnets that are sticking are the ones that came with it. Is it too thick or did I put it on backwards?? This is the first thing I've ever installed by myself. Hope you can help ty!

      Glass magnetic white boards can only be used with neodymium magnets, standard magnets aren't strong enough.

    Hey thanks for your video. I have a quick question: what color is yours -- standard or ultra white?

    • @TopHomeowner

      I have the standard white.

    Wish you would have shown what it looks like when you write on and erase the board as theres not many videos about glass white boards. And erase when fresh/wet and with old/dry writing.

    • @TopHomeowner
      @TopHomeowner  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You are right, that would have been good. It's fairly similar to a standard white board in that old markings will have a harder time erasing. The thing that's great though is that you can just use windex to get rid of it and there's no ghosting left behind

    Is the marker tray magnetic? How is it installed? Thank you.

      It has a channel in the aluminum and you just push it on to the glass. It's very solid.

      It would be pretty big, I would measure it out on the wall to see what you think.

    Why did you go with Audio Visual Direct rather than a cheaper option?

    • @TopHomeowner
      @TopHomeowner  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They are quality boards and are cheaper than the ones from the better known Quartet brand. Superior to Quartet in my opinion too.
