Pinboards provide a fixed surface for printed notices, plans and internal communications. The Confair Pinboard by Wilkhahn is listed for commercial interiors, with the backing, frame and fixing method suited to the wall substrate and expected use.

Chalk finishes support handwritten menus, daily offers and wayfinding in hospitality or retail areas. PURE Chalk by Murobond is listed as a surface finish; confirm the substrate, preparation requirements and cleaning method before specifying it in a high-traffic location.

How should an electronic display be positioned?

Set the screen or tile display at a readable height, with clear sightlines from the main approach. Allow space behind or beside the unit for power, data access and maintenance.

What should be checked before installing a pinboard?

Confirm the wall construction, board weight and fixing points. Leave enough clearance around the board for users to pin and remove notices without obstructing circulation.

Are chalk finishes suitable for every retail wall?

No. Check that the substrate and existing coating are compatible with the specified finish, then confirm how the surface should be prepared and cleaned.
