Frames and Corners: What Separates the Four Plusmark Series
Boards are compared on surface first, and that is right — the surface decides how the board writes and how long it stays readable. But two boards with identical surfaces can sit in different price and duty brackets, and the difference is the frame and the corners.
Plusmark's quality documentation describes corners as the thing that defines each series: Signature Dual-Tone Corners on Metallic Premium, ABS Dual-Tone Corner Design on Eco Premium, Electroplated Chrome Corners on Deluxe Standard, and standard plastic corners on Eco Regular.
The four series at a glance
Read this as a duty ladder rather than a quality ranking — each series is specified for a different intensity of use.
| Series | Framing | Corners | Catalog applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metallic Premium | Heavy-duty aluminium framing; premium aluminium construction | Signature Dual-Tone Corners | High-end offices, educational institutions, professional environments |
| Eco Premium | Aluminium framing | ABS Dual-Tone Corner Design for added strength and refined appearance | Schools, institutes, corporate environments |
| Deluxe Standard | Aluminium frame | Electroplated Chrome Corners for a clean and professional look | Standard offices, classrooms, coaching centres |
| Eco Regular | Lightweight frame | Standard plastic corners | Home offices, tuition classes, small classrooms |
What a corner piece is actually doing
A board corner is the joint where two frame members meet, and it is the point that takes the impact when a board is handled, transported, bumped by a chair or knocked in a corridor. It is also the most visible part of the frame from across a room.
That is why the corner specification tracks the duty specification. A board going into a college corridor that runs all day gets a heavier corner treatment than a board going into a home study, and the series naming makes that visible without reading the full specification.
Dual-tone, chrome and plastic, in practice
Signature Dual-Tone Corners on Metallic Premium are the identifying detail of the top series, and the framing around them is described as heavy-duty aluminium. ABS Dual-Tone Corner Design on Eco Premium is specified for added strength and refined appearance — the same visual idea, in a lighter construction.
Electroplated Chrome Corners on Deluxe Standard give the clean, professional look that offices and coaching centres want, with the catalog describing the series as dependable for regular use. Standard plastic corners on Eco Regular go with a lightweight frame that is easy to handle and install, which is the point of that series.
The same series logic applies to notice boards and ADC boards
Notice boards run the same four series: Metallic Premium with premium aluminium construction and Signature Dual-Tone Corners, Eco Premium with premium-grade construction, Deluxe Standard with Electroplated Chrome Corners, and Eco Regular with economical materials and standard plastic corners.
Acrylic door cover boards use their own framing language — Deluxe 45 mm Triple Aluminium Framing on the Deluxe models, and lightweight aluminium framing on ECO. Cork, fabric and combination boards are available in Metallic Premium, Eco Premium and Deluxe frame variants.
How to use this when ordering
Pick the surface for the room first — marker, chalk, magnetic, ceramic or pin-up. Then pick the series by how hard the room works and how visible the installation is. A reception wall in a corporate office justifies Metallic Premium; a tuition room does not.
Warranty is provided on every board Plusmark manufactures, and the series you choose changes what the cover should say — so the authorised distributor or marketing executive confirms it for that specific board rather than a blanket figure.
