Chalkboards

Crafted for Ideas That Endure

Long before screens and markers, ideas were shaped on slate. At Neal Slate, chalkboards are not a throwback. They are a continuation of a tradition we have been perfecting since 1924. Built with the same care and precision that defined generations of classrooms, studios, and institutions, our chalkboards deliver a writing experience that remains unmatched.

From foundational lessons to breakthrough ideas, Neal Slate chalkboards have carried the marks of thinkers, teachers, and builders for over a century.

Genuine Slate Writing Surface

Natural slate provides a tactile, responsive writing feel that cannot be replicated. Chalk flows smoothly, erases cleanly, and delivers the contrast and control that makes ideas feel intentional and deliberate.

Timeless Construction

Each chalkboard is built using proven materials and manufacturing methods refined over decades. Precision framing and durable substrates ensure consistent performance in demanding environments.

Built to Age with Character

Unlike disposable surfaces, slate develops a natural patina over time. Subtle marks and texture tell a story of use, learning, and progress.

A Legacy of Learning

Neal Slate chalkboards have been part of classrooms, lecture halls, and workspaces since 1924. They have supported generations of instruction, discovery, and collaboration.

Manufacturing Approach

Every Neal Slate product is built to order.

We fabricate each system to the exact dimensions and requirements of the space, controlling materials, layout, and manufacturing from start to finish. This allows us to deliver precise fit, consistent quality, and products that integrate cleanly into both new construction and renovation projects.



Project-Specific Solutions

We manufacture each board, case, and modular system specifically for the space it will live in. That means custom dimensions, precise layouts, and materials selected to meet the functional and architectural requirements of each project. No stock shortcuts. No forced standard sizes.

Precision Manufacturing

From initial layout to final fabrication, our process is controlled in-house to ensure accuracy, consistency, and long-term performance. Panels are cut to exact measurements, frames are fabricated to tight tolerances, and surfaces are finished with durability in mind. The result is a product that integrates cleanly into the environment and performs reliably over time.

Timely Delivery

Because manufacturing is handled in house, we maintain direct control over production schedules and lead times. Materials, fabrication, finishing, and final assembly are coordinated within a single process, reducing handoffs and minimizing delays. This level of control allows us to manage our supply chain proactively and deliver projects on schedule with consistency and predictability.
