Magnetic Whiteboards: Dual-Purpose Dry Wipe Boards
The ultimate display tool for schools and offices. Displaysense offers a professional range of magnetic whiteboards designed to double the functionality of your wall space. Combining a high-performance dry wipe surface with a magnetic backing, these boards allow you to write notes and attach documents simultaneously.
Ideal for agile project management, NHS patient tracking, and interactive teaching, our collection includes premium Vitreous Enamel boards for heavy daily use and standard coated steel for general office tasks. Whether mounted on a wall or as a freestanding whiteboard on wheels, they provide a versatile focal point for collaboration.
Write & Display
Two functions in one. The steel backing allows you to use magnets to hold up photos, safety memos, or blueprints, while the smooth top layer provides a crisp writing surface. This eliminates the need for separate noticeboards in small offices.
Vitreous Enamel
Lifetime durability. For high-traffic areas like classrooms, choose Vitreous Enamel. This surface is fired at 800°C, creating glass-like hardness that is virtually impossible to scratch and comes with a 25-year guarantee against staining.
Coated Steel
Cost-effective quality. Our standard magnetic coated steel boards are perfect for general office use. They offer excellent erasability and magnetic properties at a lower price point than enamel, ideal for meeting rooms.
Printed Options
Organised tracking. We offer magnetic boards pre-printed with grids, annual planners, or In/Out staff trackers. Used with magnetic markers or coloured magnets, they are essential for visual management in hospitals and sales teams.
Pen Tray Included
Keep tidy. Every wall-mounted board is supplied with a clip-on pen tray. This keeps your dry wipe markers and erasers neatly stored and always within reach during presentations.
Glass Magnetic
Modern style. For a sleek, contemporary look, browse our coloured glass magnetic boards. Made from toughened safety glass, they float on the wall and offer the smoothest writing experience available.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between magnetic and non-magnetic?
Magnetic boards have a steel backing, allowing magnets to stick to them. Non-magnetic boards (usually melamine/laminate) are for writing only. Magnetic boards are generally more durable and versatile.
Which board is best for schools?
Vitreous Enamel Steel. It is incredibly hard-wearing, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean, making it the most cost-effective long-term choice for heavy classroom use.
How do I prevent ghosting?
Use high-quality markers and clean the board regularly with a specialist spray. Avoid leaving ink on the board for weeks at a time. Enamel boards are naturally resistant to ghosting.
Do you accept School/NHS Purchase Orders?
Yes. We work extensively with the public sector. You can place orders via official Purchase Order for instant credit terms. Contact our team to set this up.
Are glass boards magnetic?
Yes, but you need extra-strong magnets (neodymium). Standard fridge magnets are usually too weak to grip through the thickness of the glass to the steel plate behind.
How do I install it?
Standard boards come with a corner fixing kit (screws and plugs provided). You screw through the corners into the wall and cover the heads with plastic caps. Glass boards use chrome stand-off mounts.
What sizes are available?
We stock sizes from small A4 boards up to large 2400x1200mm wall boards. 1200x900mm is a standard size for small offices, while 1800x1200mm is common for meeting rooms.
Can I project onto them?
Standard gloss whiteboards can cause glare. For use with projectors, we recommend our semi-matt enamel boards which reduce reflection ("hotspots") while still allowing you to write.
Do you offer grid boards?
Yes. We sell magnetic boards with pre-printed 25mm or 50mm grids, which are excellent for mathematics teaching, drawing graphs, or aligning text neatly.
Can I stick things with Blu-Tack?
You can, but it may leave a greasy residue. Since the board is magnetic, we strongly recommend using magnets instead as they are cleaner, quicker, and reusable.
