Convert your unhealthy dusty chalkboard into a colorful whiteboard – affordably!

There is now an inexpensive way to replace your oldchalkboards with a new markerboard surface – and you don’t have to get involved in a costly replacement process!  Everase has developed a technically advanced dry erase surface that retrofits onto an existing chalkboard in 30 minutes or less.  Use any standard dry erase marker and enjoy superior erasability. This simple product offers ease of installation, effortless cleaning without any “ghosting”, and long lasting durability that is assured because of built-in stain, scratch and chemical resistant properties.  It simply looks and performs like new, year after year. 

This simple conversion process is the quickest, most affordable solution to transform your old chalkboards into fresh, clean whiteboards that you can use color markers on to create vivid, colorful presentations instead of dull black and white dusty chalk text.  Plus, the movement to eliminate chalk dust from classrooms has never been more compelling…  Chalk dust, an annoying by-product of teaching on chalkboards, is a known airborne asthma trigger, and one out of ten school-age children suffer from asthma.  Chalk is disliked by teachers and is a constant maintenance burden of those that have to routinely wash the chalkboards.  Go Everase, save time and money, and give your educators an enhanced tool to more effectively teach your students!

Quiet electric hand dryers make sense!

No more loud hand dryers!
You know those tornado like electric hand dryers work like a charm, but they are way too LOUD!! 

But there is hope!  Now it's possible to get all of the financial benefits of saving on paper towels while respecting the ears of your patrons.  The Bobrick TrimLine series, available in white or stainless steel, offers this balance, and at a price point of $300 delivered, the units have a typical ROI of less than a year.  And because the TrimLine series does not extend more than 4" out from the wall they are inherently ADA compliant.

Restaurants can really capitalize on this hand dryer technology as restrooms are typically located just outside of the dining areas and the last thing your customers want is to have their conversation interrupted by a noisy hand dryer that is working to save you money! 

It's a triple play!  For more information on how these electric hand dryers can help you save money while staying quiet and making your restroom area look neat and bacteria-free, check out http://www.cnaspecialties.com/, call Carolyn@CNAspecialties.com at (855) 810-6050.

Secure musical instrument storage that pays for itself!

Don't B flat, be secure and organized!

The most effective and secure way to store music instruments is in a well designed system for storage - and here are some tips to get a custom designed yet totally affordable solution! 

The music classroom often has its own storage challenges. Flutes need a secured storage space quite different than a violin or a drum. With different instrument compartments, you can mix and max cabinets to fit the needs of your musical team or to work around other objects, such as windows and columns. Look for a music cabinet that is doweled cabinet bodyconstruction, and has a fully enclosed back with hang rails at top, center and bottom. For the best return on investment (long, secure, usable life cycle) the shelf front edge and top should be finished in ultra-high durable Armor Edge™ coating with ventilation grooves and a radius front edge. The Armor Edge™ coating is three times stronger than what is typically used for sprayed truck bed liners, and in terms of durability can’t even be put in the same category with a standard laminate shelf, yet does not cost a penny more! 

Wire door grills are available in left or right hand hinging, and doors are typically constructed with a security padlock ready system, label holder and 5-knuckle hinge. Mix and match colors for a unique combination or to match school colors for maximum effect in your music room!

The benefits of protective gym wall padding

Gym Wall Padding protects students and athletes and it makes your facility look professional!

The gymnasium is one of the most fun and yet most dangerous areas in a facility.  Protective gym padding is a great way to make your athletic area a safe place to enjoy.   The trick is to find a reliable company to supply (and install if necessary) economical protective gym wall padding.  We have children of our own so we understand how important it is to have peace of mind that your kids are having fun in a safe environment. 

Investigate high quality gym wall padding to provide maximum protection for indoor and outdoor impact areas.  Protective padding is ideal for gymnasiums, basketball courts, wrestling rooms, martial arts facilities, rehabilitation centers, outdoor stadiums, or any space where protective safety padding is desired.  Gym wall padding is not only a safety necessity, but it also can greatly increase the appearance of your facility, and is available in any project size, from basic padding behind your basketball backstops to fully outfitting a gym with padding for maximum safety.  Specialty pads are always available too, such as column pads, cutouts for outlets and fire alarms, stage pads, even pads to cover a rock climbing wall.  You can even add logos or mascots to the wall padding to support your teams! 

CNA Specialties quotes all projects on an individual basis to ensure maximum value to our customers. 

For more information about the different types of padding applications, check out http://www.cnaspecialties.com/.  You can also learn about multiple simple installation methods (it’s easier than you think!)  When you are ready, give us a call at (855) 810-6050 or email to talk about your padding requirements and we will get you a quotation as quickly as possible. Most orders ship within 2-3 weeks so your lead time to safety is kept to a minimum.  We ship all over the country and no project is too small or too large.
