Wall Mounted Chalkboards:
Hanging Blackboard Signs and Menu Boards
Wall mounted chalkboards for hospitality, retail, and home use. HPL (High-Pressure Laminate) non-porous writing surface that wipes clean without ghosting. Solid wood frames in dark oak, teak, and black stain; frameless precision-cut panels also available. Sizes from A4 to 1200x900mm. D-ring fixings for portrait or landscape hanging. Magnetic steel backing on select models. Compatible with both stick chalk and liquid chalk pens. Indoor use only; specify outdoor-rated models for exterior positions. Bulk pricing for pub chains and multi-venue hospitality groups.
The writing surface is the critical difference between a professional chalkboard and a disappointing one. Cheap painted wood absorbs liquid chalk pen ink into its porous surface; after a few weeks the ink cannot be fully removed and the board ghosts permanently. HPL is a non-porous laminate surface: liquid chalk pen sits on top of the surface rather than soaking in, and wipes off cleanly with a damp cloth. For a hospitality business changing the specials board daily, the cleaning performance of the surface is a practical operational requirement, not just an aesthetic one.
Our wall mounted chalkboard range covers framed and frameless panels in all standard sizes. For freestanding chalkboard A-boards and pavement signs see our pavement signs. For outdoor-rated chalkboards see our outdoor chalkboards.

Why Choose Displaysense Wall Mounted Chalkboards
HPL Surface: Wipes Clean Without Ghosting
HPL (High-Pressure Laminate) is non-porous: liquid chalk pen sits on the surface rather than soaking in, and wipes off with a damp cloth. Cheap painted wood is porous and retains ink permanently after a few cleaning cycles, leaving grey ghost marks that make the board look dirty even when clean.
Solid Wood Frames in Oak, Teak and Black Stain
Our framed boards use solid wood rather than plastic moulding, providing the weight and grain texture that complements natural interior materials in traditional pubs, bistros, and cafes. Available in dark oak, teak, and black stain to match existing interior woodwork.
Liquid Chalk Pens vs Stick Chalk: Which to Use
Liquid chalk pens produce sharper, more opaque lines that are easier to read from a distance and do not create dust. They wipe off cleanly from HPL surfaces with a damp cloth. Stick chalk produces the traditional textured appearance some venues prefer but creates more dust and requires a dry eraser rather than a damp cloth to remove.
Portrait and Landscape Hanging from D-Ring Fixings
D-rings on the back of framed boards allow hanging in either portrait or landscape orientation on a standard screw or picture hook. Confirm your preferred orientation before fixing, as some wall positions suit landscape for a wide menu board while others suit portrait for a tall specials list.
Magnetic Models for Combined Writing and Notice Display
Select models have a magnetic steel backing layer behind the HPL surface, allowing magnets to hold printed rotas, photos, and notices alongside handwritten content. The magnetic function works through the HPL surface without affecting the writing quality.
A4 to 1200x900mm: Sizes for Every Position
Small A4 and A3 boards suit kitchen message boards and single-item counter notices. A2 and A1 suit pub specials boards and cafe menu walls visible across a room. 1200x900mm large format suits behind-bar menu boards and pub food menu displays requiring text large enough to read from bar distance.
Which Chalkboard Do You Need?
Pub Menu Board, Cafe Specials, or Kitchen Organiser?
Large 1200x900mm or A1 for behind-bar menus and food boards visible across a room. A2 or A3 for counter-mounted specials boards at closer reading distance. Small A4 for kitchen message boards and single-item notices. Framed solid wood for traditional pub and bistro aesthetics; frameless for contemporary cafe and retail interiors.
For Pubs, Bars and Gastropubs
1200x900mm and A1 wall mounted chalkboards behind the bar list the full food and drink menu at the size readable from the bar queue. Solid wood dark oak or teak frames complement traditional pub interior materials. Bulk pricing for pub chains outfitting multiple venues; purchase orders accepted on 30-day credit terms.
For Cafes, Bistros and Restaurants
A2 and A3 chalkboards beside the counter or at the entrance list daily specials, coffee menu, and seasonal offers at customer interaction distance. Liquid chalk pens on HPL surfaces allow the specials to be wiped and rewritten each morning in under 5 minutes. Frameless panels suit contemporary cafe interiors where a wood frame would look too heavy.
For Home Kitchens and Family Use
A3 and A4 framed chalkboards on kitchen walls suit meal planning, shopping lists, and family message boards. Slim-framed and frameless options fit modern kitchen interiors without dominating the wall. Magnetic models allow printed shopping list templates and school schedule cards to be attached alongside handwritten notes.
