The Menu Board Moment
Large chalkboards are statement pieces. They need to be level, secure, and visible - a crooked menu board undermines the whole aesthetic.
💡 Pro tip: Consider lighting when choosing position. Boards in direct sunlight are hard to read. Spot lighting makes chalk pop.

Frequently Asked Questions
How large is 'large'?
Anything over about 60x90cm starts needing proper heavy-duty fixings. Very large boards (over a metre) may need multiple fixing points. We assess each board.
What walls can these go on?
Brick, block, plasterboard - all possible with correct fixings. Large heavy boards on plasterboard need substantial fixings or backing. We advise.
Can you position at an angle?
Some boards mount tilted for better visibility. Depends on the frame design. We can advise on what's possible with your specific board.
Do you write on them?
We just mount - the chalk art is your job or a specialist's. We ensure it's secure, level, and in the right position for visibility.
