Whiteboards & Glass Boards

Which Whiteboard Should You Choose?

There are a few things to consider before placing your order. Should the board be mounted on a wall or moved between different rooms? How much writing space do you need? And does it matter whether the board is magnetic?

Wall-Mounted Whiteboards

A wall-mounted whiteboard is ideal for conference rooms, classrooms, and offices where the board will have a permanent location. It does not take up floor space and is available in sizes suitable for both small offices and larger meeting rooms.

Be sure to check the board's dimensions and mounting method. A larger whiteboard requires sufficient wall space and should be positioned where everyone can clearly see what is written.

Mobile Whiteboards

If the same board will be used in multiple rooms, a mobile whiteboard can be a practical solution. Models with wheels can be moved wherever they are needed, such as between conference rooms, training facilities, and work areas.

It is also worth checking the overall dimensions of the board to ensure it can fit through doorways and be stored when not in use.

Magnetic Whiteboards

A magnetic whiteboard serves as both a writing surface and a place to display documents, schedules, and printouts. Magnets allow you to attach information next to your notes and easily rearrange it as needed.

This is especially useful for project planning, scheduling, and other tasks where information changes frequently. Keep in mind that not all writing boards have a magnetic surface.

Glass Boards

Glass boards are an alternative to traditional whiteboards and work well in offices, meeting rooms, and reception areas where a different aesthetic is desired.

They feature a glass writing surface and are available in various sizes and designs. Check which markers, magnets, and cleaning products are recommended for the model you choose. Not all glass boards are magnetic, and some require special magnets.

The Difference Between Whiteboard Surfaces

Size and appearance are not the only factors that differ between whiteboards. The material of the writing surface can also influence which board is most suitable.

Lacquered whiteboards are a common option for offices and meeting rooms. They are available in various sizes and designs. Follow the manufacturer's care instructions to keep the surface in good condition.

Enamel whiteboards are worth considering if the board will be used frequently. Compare factors such as durability, warranty, and cleaning requirements with other models.

Glass boards offer a different look and feel compared to traditional whiteboards. They can be a good choice when the board also needs to complement the room's interior design.

The best material depends on how the board will be used and which features are most important for your workplace.

Choose the Right Whiteboard Size

A small whiteboard may be sufficient for personal notes, reminders, and simple planning. In a conference room where several people need to follow a presentation, a larger writing surface is often required.

Also consider how far participants will be seated from the board. It is easy to choose a board that fits the wall but turns out to be too small for everyone to read comfortably.

Measure the available space before ordering and leave room around the board to ensure it can be used comfortably.

Complete Your Setup with Whiteboard Markers and Accessories

To get started, you'll need whiteboard markers and an eraser. If the board is magnetic, magnets can also be useful for displaying papers and documents.

We also offer whiteboard cleaning products for occasions when a standard eraser is not enough. Always choose markers and cleaning products that are suitable for the board's writing surface.
