Lebanon, Ohio — September 2026 — Ghent, a leading U.S. manufacturer of visual communication solutions, continues to tout GUV: a proprietary dry-erase writing surface engineered for everyday performance across some of the company’s most versatile product lines. GUV is featured on Ghent’s Flyte Collection, its newly expanded Control Shelving Unit, and Mosaic whiteboards.

Built with a UV-coated steel writing surface, GUV delivers smooth writing and clean erasing without the weight of glass, while remaining fully magnetic thanks to its steel backing. That combination made it a natural fit for the Flyte Collection, where a lighter surface supports product designs that wouldn’t be possible with glass.

“GUV lets us build products that move and adapt the way modern spaces need them to, without asking customers to give up the writing experience they expect from a premium whiteboard or glassboard,” said Susan Claus, Ghent’s Director of Marketing. “It’s a more versatile alternative to glass, and it holds up to the kind of daily use we see in classrooms, workplaces, and healthcare settings.”

The non-porous, UV-coated surface is designed to resist ghosting and staining when cleaned according to Ghent’s care instructions, keeping the writing surface bright and clean even in high-use environments. Because the coating is adhered to a steel-backed surface, GUV boards work with both standard and rare earth magnets, giving users an easy way to keep notes, schedules, and writing implements alongside their writing.

GUV is backed by Ghent’s 50-year warranty on wall-mounted boards and a 10-year warranty on mobile whiteboards, giving product specifiers and end users long-term confidence in a surface built for regular use. Where glass may not be the best choice, GUV delivers many of the same day-to-day performance benefits, at a lighter weight, a lower price point, and with easier installation, making it an increasingly popular selection for modern interiors looking to balance design and function.

GUV is now featured across the Flyte Collection, Control panels, and Mosaic, with more product integrations expected as Ghent continues to expand where the surface is used. Learn more at ghent.com.
