The most economical tackable surface available consists of Type I or Type II vinyl factory laminated to ½" fiberboard core. This application is perfect for hallways, over lockers and where full height tackable walls are required. *

Type 2 (¼" natural cork on ¼" hardboard):

Architects have been specifying ¼" natural cork factory-laminated on to ¼" hardboard as a standard type tackboard construction for many years. Natural cork’s self healing properties close push pin holes after they have been removed.

Type 3 (¼" burlap backed cork on ¼" hardboard):

¼" burlap backed cork or colored cork factory laminated to ¼" hardboard, is a durable and washable tackable surface that has the same self healing properties of natural cork and is an excellent way to add color into any environment. **

Type 4 (vinyl on ¼" cork on ¼" hardboard):

Type I or Type II vinyl factory-laminated to ¼" natural cork. Both cork and ¼" hardboard are easily maintained and cleaned. This tackable surface is the most widely specified by architects because it has a washable surface and the natural self healing properties of cork assist the vinyl’s in closing after being punctured with a push pin. *

Type 5 (vinyl on 1/8" cork on 3/8" fiberboard):

This is Polyvision’s tackboard of choice. Made up of Type I or Type II vinyl factory laminated to 1/8" Cork and 3/8" fiberboard gives the same attributes as our type 4, however the it will allow a 3/8" pushpin blade to be penetrated because the core material is made of a cellulose material. *, ***

Type 6 (100% polyester fabric laminated to ¼" cork on ¼" hardboard):

100% Polyester fabric factory-laminated to ¼" natural cork and ¼" hardboard gives this tackable surface a less institutional look without giving up standard tacking properties.
