Bulletin Boards, Cork Boards & Tack Boards Buying Guide
Not sure which corkboard would work best in your classroom? Here are some points to consider that will help you decide: Material Synthetic – Some tack boards function similarly to natural cork boards but are made from other materials. You'll find boards made from recycled rubber, plastic-infused cork and vinyl-infused cork. Others are wrapped in fabric for a soft touch and attractive look. ![]() Backing Cork Roll – You can also buy rolls of backless natural cork to create your own board. We recommend that you do not glue cork roll directly to a wall because push pins can leave marks and scratches in your drywall. For a quality, homemade corkboard try adhering the cork to a particleboard back. Frame Wood frames give your corkboard a more traditional, classic look. Vinyl frames are more affordable but not quite as durable as other frames. Unframed boards are mounted on particleboard backs, but do not have frames. While unframed corkboards are usually not as attractive as their framed counterparts, they are more affordable. ![]() Care If you have questions or aren't sure which size board to order, call our friendly sales team at 1-800-260-2776.
