Are you worried about damaging your interactive touchscreen? With Speechi, discover how to remove and prevent scratches that may appear on your interactive display. Interactive touchscreens have become essential tools in modern professional environments. However, some organisations hesitate to invest in them due to concerns about wear, tear, or scratches on the touch surface. Is a scratch on an interactive screen a serious issue? Can it be repaired? Can it be prevented? In this article, we explore the causes, consequences, and solutions for dealing with scratches, while highlighting the benefits of Speechi interactive screens, designed for long-lasting professional use.
A scratch on an interactive screen: should you be concerned?
Not all scratches indicate a malfunction. Light, superficial scratches generally do not affect display quality or touch responsiveness. Deeper scratches, however, can interfere with touch accuracy or create inactive zones. It is important to distinguish between scratches affecting a protective film, which can be easily replaced, and scratches directly impacting the touchscreen glass, which are more complex to repair. In most cases, the interactive screen remains fully usable. If there is any doubt, a professional diagnosis from the supplier is recommended to determine whether a repair or partial replacement is required.
What causes scratches on interactive touchscreens?
Scratches are most often the result of improper use or everyday habits. Using sharp objects or non-approved styluses can damage the surface over time. Inadequate cleaning, such as using dusty cloths or abrasive sponges, can also create micro-scratches. Transporting an interactive screen without proper protection, repeated contact with jewellery like rings or watches, or operating the screen in industrial or dusty environments without a protective film all increase the risk of damage. Although SpeechiTouch screens are equipped with scratch-resistant tempered glass, no touchscreen is completely immune to wear without proper care.
How to maintain and protect your interactive touchscreen
Adopting a few simple best practices can significantly extend the lifespan of your interactive screen. The surface should be cleaned regularly using a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth and a dedicated screen cleaner free from alcohol or ammonia. Stains or residue should never be scraped with hard objects. Installing a protective film is highly recommended for intensive or industrial use. When moving the screen, using a mobile stand with a transport cover helps prevent accidental damage. It is also important to educate users and staff on proper handling and cleaning methods. Regular maintenance preserves both the appearance and touch performance of the screen.
