| July 2, 2010 Interior reView: Scribble on your office walls By: Kimberly Morris Interiors & Sources, May 2010 Most of the clients we work with have a need for collaborative workspace, regardless of market. Product manufacturers have brought us everything from slate chalk boards to dry erase boards to electronic smart boards. Now the newest solution is roll-on paint that acts as a marker board. IdeaPaint can be applied in any environment to create a collaborative work or teaching space. The paint is applied directly to the wall and can cover endless areas without seams or the need for a frame. As a result, the client will save money on a large dry-erase surface. IdeaPaint is innovative, cost-effective and has many sustainable attributes. IdeaPaint is formaldehyde-free and conforms to all U.S. EPA regulations. "Traditional dry-erase boards require baking and curing procedures that consume large of amounts of energy," says the product's Web site. "IdeaPaint is simply stirred." The product is smaller and much lighter than a dry-erase board so it requires less material to package and less fuel to ship. Best of all, you can apply IdeaPaint over existing markerboards for restoration. And if the client no longer wants a particular wall to be a writing surface they can simply paint over it with no cost for demolition and with adding materials to landfills.
