Frequently Asked Questions
What material are the boards made out of?
Our boards are manufactured using a commercial grade, rigid polymetal substrate (see photo) rated for outdoor or indoor use. Next, we print on the highest quality white vinyl with 100% digital high definition UV solvent inks. Every board then receives a glossy or matte laminate finish to ensure your board has picture-like quality and to protect it from fading, cracking, peeling, or bubbling.
How do I update my board?
Updates can be added easily and accurately. We precision-cut micro thin update strips and send them directly to you. Once applied, the only way a viewer can detect them is by touch. In addition, your dedicated team at Sportboardz creates a record/year workbook for each and every product to insure your boards are accurate and up-to-date!

Mounting Instructions
The following information may be helpful in preparation for the mounting.
1. Mark the spots in pencil where your record board will go. A line at the top and left side will work fine (use a level).
2. Selecting the proper screws ahead of time is also important. Make sure they are matched to the material they are going into (block, brick, drywall, etc.) The screw head must be 5/16” in diameter or smaller to fit inside the black snap cap covers that we provide. The record boards are only 1/8” thick, so the length of the screws can be short as the vertical weight for each board is less than 15 lbs. Anchors for screws are totally dependent on the types of screws used, materials and positions of where they are placed.
3. We do not drill the holes in the boards, so before these are hung, you will want to add 4-6 holes to each board. Holes should be at least ¾” to 1” in from the edges. The hole size will be determined by the size of the screws, of course. The positioning should always be the same: 2 at the top corners, 2 halfway down the side and two at the bottom, for larger boards. For 4 x 4's and smaller, 2 at top corners and 2 at bottom corners is sufficient.
4. After mounting, you can use a soft cloth or microfiber cloth with non-streaking glass cleaner to clean or remove any fingerprint smudges.
