There is really only one major difference. With <a href=\"https:\/\/smartersurfaces.com\/product\/clear-whiteboard-paint\/\">Whiteboard Paint in Transparent<\/a> you can create a writable wall in any color you choose except white.<\/p>\n<p>Have you got a green wall? A yellow wall? A blue wall? These are just a few examples of colored writable walls you can have in your space. Whiteboard Paint in Transparent can also be applied to digital prints too. Check out the one we have in our office below. It\u2019s writable, functional and helps us work.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to choose just these options. Have you a wall with your logo in your office? If it\u2019s colored, add transparent paint on top and it can be a writable surface too!<\/p>\n<p>Whiteboard Paint in Transparent isn\u2019t just for walls though. It\u2019s great for any surface you can think of. Transform desks in your office or classroom into writable surfaces and help reduce the amount of paper you use. Students will be able to work out problems on their desk, which not only means they are learning, but also that they are having fun too.  <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile in offices, you can choose writable desks in order to keep track of your schedule, write down important notes or keep a to-do list.
