What are your options?

Design-wise, office spaces should be seen as an extension of the company itself. Creating a unique conference space that amplifies your brand can speak volumes about your company to any visiting business partners or potential clients. So, what are your options? 

• Print your logo on a glassboard
  Claim your space by adding company logos or imagery to any of our glassboards. Printed glass partitions allow natural light to shine through, and depending on your needs, can give the option of opaque layering to spaces where privacy is a priority.
• Writable glass conference tables
  No need to bring a notepad to your next meeting – offer clients a creative way to jot down notes, display ideas, and engage with your content with our writable Table Tops. Clarus glass Table Tops are able to be manufactured in an array of different shapes and sizes, allowing customers to have the functionality of a traditional conference table, with a customized modern look.
• Choose from an array of glassboard styles
  From a floor to ceiling room divider, to a projectable glassboard, to a glassboard with wheels you can move around your space – no matter how your conference room is laid out, it can be utilized even further with glassboards.
• Color match your glassboard to match your branding
  Fill your space through and through with your company colors. Clarus will color match and produce a custom glass piece, perfect for any meeting space.
  
  To take it a step further, we also offer privacy glass tint options with color and opaque varieties. This makes for added privacy glass for medical offices or university meeting rooms where confidentiality is key. It is even possible to equip conference room glass with a one-way mirror for added security.

How can glassboards promote better professional communication? 

• Well-designed spaces can promote productivity
  Think about what kind of space you work best in. How does that space look? Holding meetings in a clean, well-designed and utilized space can promote open and clear thinking, and positively affect ideas and well-produced work. 
• Keeping your audience engaged
  Utilizing Clarus glassboards can support new ways of communicating and keeping your audience fully engaged. Project your presentation, draw out your thoughts, and let your team jot down ideas in real-time. However your company works best, Clarus has a product to enhance the way you work and communicate with your audience.
• Stay organized
  Many of our writable glassboards are magnetized and allow clients to pin notes and reminders, as well as write out to-do lists, memos, and meeting notes directly onto the glassboard – streamlining communication between teams and clients alike. 

Whether your space focuses on colleagues or clients, implementing modern communication tools and amplifying your brand is a sure-fire way to ensure people will not only remember your company, but have a positive impression of you and your space.

In the fast-paced and technology-driven world we live in, engaging with people of all ages can be a challenge, especially in the classroom. Teachers are forced to get creative with the way they present information in order to capture the attention of their students, but with Clarus interactive glassboards they have a dynamic tool to help them do just that.

What Is an Interactive Glassboard?

As its name suggests, an interactive glassboard is made of tempered safety glass and is accompanied by a projector. These glassboards allow teachers to connect their board with the internet or a digital display entity. This innovative combination promotes real-time collaboration between the projected information, and what is being handwritten or drawn by the presenter on the board. 

Interactive glassboards combine traditional learning methods with modern technology, and act as a communication enhancement in any teaching environment. 

Interactive Glassboards vs Whiteboards

Many people are familiar with the interactive whiteboard, and although glassboards and whiteboards are alike in many ways, there are a few key differences that put glassboards a few steps ahead: 

• Ease of use

Where smart whiteboards require timely setup and technical know-how to work effectively, Clarus glassboard technology is straightforward in nature. Instead of syncing the board, pen, and projector, the glassboard simply requires that the single projector is turned on for it to be presentation ready.

• Durability

Our smart interactive glassboards are designed to withstand regular use, and are 4X more durable than a whiteboard. In the average business or education setting, glassboards can last up to 20+ years before needing to be replaced.

Although glassboards come with a higher upfront cost than traditional whiteboards, you’ll get this money back in the amount of overall savings from cleaning and replacement costs.

• Simple Maintenance

Due to their non-porous surface, glassboards are more durable and offer easy cleanup in comparison to whiteboards. Where whiteboards require monthly cleanings to fight off streaks, shadowing, stains, and residue buildup, glassboards can be maintained simply by using any glass cleaner.

• Customizable and Sleek

Clarus glassboards come in a variety of sizes and colors, and can be customized to fit any space. Glassboards offer a sleek design with clean lines for a simple, elegant appearance. With Clarus customization, customers can choose to have their board on display as a wall attachment, or tuck it away when not in use as a free-standing entity. Presentation tools should never have to affect the style you want to achieve in your space.

On the flip side, the look of a whiteboard can come off as clunky or unattractive, and does not always fit the style or size of every space.

In addition to the actual board, glassboards compared to whiteboards allow for more versatility in writing utensils – giving presenters the option between dry erase, permanent, and even oil-based markers. 

What to Expect from your Glassboard

Incorporating the smart glass board into your space comes with an array of benefits, giving our customers modern solutions to traditional communication styles. 

• Increased Student Engagement

It is no secret that students learn better when they are able to interact with the material they are learning. When students use the interactive glassboard, they are able to see, work on, and interact with materials in real-time. In comparison to traditional lecture models, incorporating modern tools in the classroom significantly increases engagement.

• Enhancing Your Lesson Plans

Taking out the limitations of traditional teaching methods and adding in digital aspects truly heightens presentation quality. Teachers now have the control to adjust their lesson plans to fit the needs of a modern audience. 

Adding in aspects of creativity also makes learning more fun, and aids in guiding students or colleagues through complex topics. 

• Ability to Accommodate Different Learning Styles

In today’s education, knowing how to factor different learning styles into lesson plans helps meet the needs of a larger number of students.

With the ability to switch between audio, visual, and interactive content, presenters can meet the needs and promote information retention for nearly any audience.

Clarus glassboard products also meet the requirements of official 504 and IEP accommodations, aiding in the education of students with special needs and specific learning challenges. It is our priority to provide flexibility and optimization when it comes to the way teachers communicate with and educate their students. 

Allowing room for creativity in any learning space sets audiences up for success. Take your student engagement to the next level with your Clarus interactive glassboard. Learn more on how you can get yours today https://www.clarus.com/ 

Writing board technology has come a long way over the years. Evolving from blackboards to whiteboards, to the modern, more versatile, writable glassboard. Writing boards have pushed education, entertainment, and communication forward, and continue to allow consumers to execute their ideas and thoughts seamlessly. 

Each writing board has a preferred writing tool – blackboard being chalk and whiteboard being dry erase marker, but did you know that glassboards allow for even more writing options? 

Choose Your Writing Tool 

Glassboards give customers the option of choice when it comes to how they want to jot down their ideas. Depending on the desired effect: semi-permanent or non-permanent, Clarus boards are compatible with nearly any writing utensil. The most popular writing tool for non-permanent is the dry erase marker, which can be easily manipulated and quickly wiped off. For a more semi-permanent approach, permanent markers and oil-based markers are the utensils of choice. Although the semi-permanent options will give longevity to your messaging and design, they are still able to be wiped clean for a fresh start with the right technique. 

How to Clean Your Glassboard

Cleaning your glassboard is a simple maintenance item that will keep your board looking nice for years to come. See below for the best practices for keeping your glassboard spotless after each use. 

Best Cleaning Items 

• Soft cloth 
• Glass cleaner 
• WD-40 (permanent marker)
• Acetone or nail polish remover (permanent marker)

Cleaning Do’s 

• Scrub the glass surface gently 
• Use cleaners that are approved for glass
• Spray your cleaning cloth with the glass cleaner instead of spraying directly onto the glassboard 
• Follow up each cleaning with a dry cloth to ensure the removal of any streaks
• Wipe down the frame (if applicable) of your glassboard 

Cleaning Don’ts

• Get glass cleaner between the glass and the frame. This will damage the appearance of the board 
• Use cleaners that use bleach, abrasives, solvents, or pine oil. These items will damage the glass and the frame’s finishing 
• Leave stains for a long period of time. The longer stains sit, the harder they will be to remove
