Vipco Visual Board for the classroom

Vipco visual boards

providing schools with ‘remarkable products’

By LORne W. neLsOn

One of the simplest forms of conveying one’s thoughts, ideas, and visions can be through a visual reference. Chalkboards, whiteboards, and bulletin boards have always added value in an educational setting to support this learning method. The medium used by teachers and students alike should be reliable, durable to ensure longevity, and provide a safe learning environment for everyone.

Vipco Visual Boards - a recent addition to the Vipco Group, understands this need for high quality, safe, dependable products in the classroom. We understand how important it is for boards to withstand the test of time. That is why we only use ceramic coated whiteboard steel that is guaranteed not to stain, ghost, or fade. Ceramic steel is low maintenance, bacterial resistant, easy to clean, and provides a writing surface that is guaranteed for the life of the building in which it is installed.

Our creativity is what makes us unique. Our manufacturing facility has the flexibility to provide custom products without the custom price. “Built better to last a lifetime” is what we strive for in every product. Built and assembled in Western Canada, we laminate a full sandwich construction. Ceramic steel front and galvanized steel back are standard. Utilizing 50 years of lamination experience, we produce a balanced, straight board that prevents bowing - thereby allowing the whiteboard to double as a projectable surface. All trims that are shipped attached, are either screwed or riveted to the backside of the board.

We also know there is nothing more frustrating than retrieving a visual board from “the bottom of the pile”. That is why Vipco has developed a robust stand-up crating system for shipping when appropriate, which also doubles as storage protection. It greatly increases the ease of getting the board you need with while reducing the

chance of damages when unstacking and restacking product.

Your safety in utilizing our products is just as important to us as it is to you, which prompted us to develop protective end caps as standard protection on all pen trays. Gone are the exposed rounded ends that the market has typically experienced. We now supply 3D printed end caps to protect people from that sharp edge. Not only are they safe and reliable, but they also look attractive and are available in colors that can match most decors.

Coming in April 2021, we will be releasing our new versions of horizontal and vertical slider units. These units are easy to install with no cables or counterweights. The boards click into place and incorporate soft-slide technology, and they can have up to three sliding panels and multiple panels per track, optional fixed back panels for use over cubbies/cabinets with virtually any length or height possible - all while complying with unexposed fastener requirements for a modern, clean look.

Most important of all – you - our customers! Visual boards are our core competency, and we take pride in listening and providing solutions to the needs and challenges of our customers. We work with you to provide solutions. Our friendly, dedicated, and knowledgeable team is always available to help when needed. We invite you to see for yourself!
