White board

The choice depends mainly on intended use and available space. In this range, you’ll find boards in various sizes—from compact options like 25x35 cm or 30x40 cm to larger surfaces like 45x60 cm or 90x120 cm. Some are mounted on stands and can rotate 360°. Choose a size that fits your audience and your room. If you need extra functionality, check whether the surface is magnetic and whether included accessories (color markers and an eraser) make installation and daily use easier.

A magnetic whiteboard lets you use magnets to attach notes without damaging the surface, which is useful for dynamic presentations and group discussions. A non-magnetic whiteboard focuses on a smooth surface that’s easy to wipe clean. “Magnetic” options offer more versatility for organization and temporary storage, while simpler models prioritize smooth writing and regular maintenance without needing magnetic accessories.

Whiteboards work well for classroom teaching, team meetings, and home offices. For classes or large presentations, choose larger formats and sets with rotation (for example, standing tables that let you adjust the angle). For personal use or smaller spaces, a more compact, lightweight format is ideal. You can also choose a magnetic board with varied markers and an eraser included for smooth, everyday use.

Maintain the surface using a soft, dry cloth (or slightly damp cloth depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations), avoiding harsh solvents that could leave marks. Clean regularly so the ink doesn’t dry out and leave residues on the surface. After use, close or store the accessories in a dry place to prevent rust on the frame and moving parts. For magnetic surfaces, use magnets or non-abrasive accessories to preserve the surface integrity and readability.

Measure your available wall space and think about the most readable orientation for your audience. The most common formats in this category range from portrait to landscape. If your room is long and narrow, a large landscape board makes information easier to see from a distance. For areas that are better served by decentralized writing, a more square or slightly rectangular format (for example 35x50 cm to 60x45 cm) works well for smaller meetings.

To get the best from a whiteboard, choose a set that includes multiple color markers (black, blue, red, green), an effective eraser, and magnets if the board is magnetic. Alcohol-based markers or ink markers based on alcohol generally offer better durability and easier erasing. Also keep a microfiber cloth for quick cleaning, plus a gentle, non-abrasive solution for deeper clean-ups to preserve long-term readability and a like-new look.
