One Board, the Right Surface for Each Task
Some work wants a clear, open surface and some wants structure, and most rooms need both at different moments. The WBD1212 answers that by putting a different surface on each side, a plain dry-wipe face for free writing, notes and presentations, and a printed 25mm grid on the reverse for charts, graphs, aligned layouts and ward planning. You choose which side faces out when the board is mounted, so the surface that suits the room does the everyday work while the other waits in reserve. The square shape gives a balanced writing area, as tall as it is wide, that takes both freehand notes and gridded content comfortably and fits a wall a long board would overrun. A clean aluminium frame keeps it looking professional, the dry-wipe surfaces resist ghosting and wipe back to clear rather than greying, and wall fixings come supplied so it mounts and works from the start. A 5-year guarantee backs it. Best suited for classrooms, university labs and NHS wards where one board needs to handle both open writing and precise, structured layouts.
Why This Double-Sided Board Earns Its Place
- A plain side and a grid side: One face is plain for free writing and the reverse carries a printed 25mm grid for structured work, so each kind of task gets the surface built for it. There is no need to rule lines by hand for a chart or to work around a grid when writing freely.
- Choose the side at install: The board mounts with either surface facing out, decided when it goes on the wall, so a room can lead with the plain face or the grid depending on how it mostly works. The second surface is there in reserve if needs change later.
- A square that suits any layout: The even, square shape gives a balanced area that takes lists, diagrams and gridded charts equally and fits a wall where a long landscape board would be awkward. It reads well across a room without stretching wide across the space.
- Clean, hard-wearing surfaces: Both faces resist the ghosting that greys a cheaper board, wiping back to a clear, high-contrast finish even after constant daily writing. The board keeps a professional look in a busy classroom, lab or ward through heavy, repeated use.
- A neat, professional frame: A clean aluminium frame gives a tidy silver edge that suits an education or healthcare interior and resists marking better than a painted trim. The board looks considered on the wall rather than purely functional, and stays light for its size.
- Backed for five years: A 5-year guarantee stands behind the board, reflecting a build made for the demanding daily use of a school or hospital. It is meant to keep performing for years rather than wearing dull within months of heavy handling.
Where a Double-Sided Plain and Grid Board Fits Best
| Classrooms and Teaching | Lessons move between open explanation and structured work, which is exactly what two surfaces handle. The plain side suits everyday teaching and notes, the 25mm grid keeps maths, graphs and handwriting alignment neat, and the square shape holds a full topic in view. |
| University Labs and Study Areas | Technical work benefits from a ruled surface for accuracy alongside a blank one for discussion. The grid side supports technical drawing and lab planning, the plain side takes group notes, and the board gives a precise reference without ruling lines by hand. |
| NHS Wards and Patient Boards | Wards run on structured, accurate information that has to stay clear. The grid side suits ward charts, bed management and tracking daily updates in neat columns, while the plain side carries general notices, keeping organised data and free notes on one board. |
| Training and Meeting Rooms | A session often needs a framework on one surface and free notes on another. The grid side structures a plan or schedule into aligned rows, the plain side takes the open discussion around it, and the square format fits a meeting wall without a wide footprint. |
| Healthcare and Clinical Rooms | Clinical spaces need a clean, wipeable board that looks professional and stays legible. Dry-wipe writing clears completely from both faces, the grid keeps a chart or tracker aligned, and the square shape suits a smaller clinical or consulting wall. |
| Offices and Planning Areas | Teams planning work value a grid for timelines and trackers and a plain side for the thinking around them. One board carries both, the square area keeps a plan readable across a room, and the choice of outward side suits how a team mostly works. |
Need a Different Size or Shape?
For a narrower wall, the 900mm board brings the same plain and grid surfaces in a smaller size. For a wider surface, the 1800mm board steps up the writing area.

The Displaysense WBD1212 is a Double-Sided Whiteboard with an Aluminium Frame. Wall-mounted dry-wipe board with two surfaces, one plain face and one printed 25mm grid face, non-magnetic, ghosting-resistant, in an aluminium frame. Dimensions 1200mm x 1200mm, square format. Silver finish, mounts with either side facing out, fixed once installed. Wall fixings supplied. 5-year guarantee. Best suited for classrooms, university labs, training rooms, NHS wards and healthcare rooms. Also available in a smaller 900mm size such as the WBD9012 and a larger 1800mm size such as the WBD1812. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
The two surfaces exist because writing comes in two forms. Open work, such as notes, explanations and freehand diagrams, suits a clear blank surface with nothing to constrain it. Structured work, such as charts, graphs, timetables and anything that needs columns or alignment, is far easier on a ruled surface. This board carries a plain face on one side and a printed grid on the other, so neither kind of work ever has to be forced onto the wrong surface. Each side simply does what it is good at, which is why a single board can serve a room that moves between loose writing and precise, organised layouts.
The grid itself is printed at 25mm spacing, which is a practical size for the work it supports. Squares at that spacing comfortably take a handwritten figure or label, yet stay fine enough to hold a chart, a graph or a plan in accurate alignment. The printed lines steer handwriting so columns run straight and entries line up by eye, which matters for a maths worked example, a technical drawing or a ward chart where neatness is part of being readable. Because the grid is printed into the surface rather than added on, it stays put and wipes clean along with the writing.
How the board is mounted is part of its flexibility. It is a wall board rather than a mobile one, fixed in a chosen position for a stable, always-ready surface, and it is hung with whichever side suits the room facing outward. That choice is made at installation, so a maths room might lead with the grid while a meeting room leads with the plain side, each keeping the other surface in reserve. Being wall-mounted also keeps it out of the way, taking no floor space in a room that is already busy, which suits a classroom or a clinical area where space is tight.
The build is chosen to last in daily use. An aluminium frame keeps the board light for its size and gives a clean edge that resists the marking a painted trim picks up over time, while both writing surfaces are made to resist ghosting, wiping back to clear rather than holding a grey shadow. Day to day the board asks for little, cleaning with a dry cloth and an occasional whiteboard cleaner for heavier marks, and using dry-wipe rather than permanent pens keeps both faces at their best. A 5-year guarantee stands firmly behind it for lasting reassurance.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 1200mm x 1200mm | A balanced square surface, exactly as tall as it is wide, giving a generous and even writing area without taking up the wider landscape footprint that a long board would need on the wall. |

| Surfaces | Double-sided, plain and 25mm grid | A plain face for open writing plus a ruled 25mm grid face for structured work, so every kind of job sits on the surface made for it. |
| Grid | Printed 25mm grid | Squares sized to hold a written figure or a short label, yet still fine enough to keep charts, graphs and plans neatly aligned without reaching for a ruler. |
| Surface Type | Non-magnetic dry-wipe | Takes dry-wipe pens and erases cleanly for frequent daily updates, with a smooth face that holds no magnets on either side. |
| Surface Finish | Ghosting-resistant dry-wipe | Wipes back to a clean face without any grey shadowing left behind, so both sides stay high-contrast and easy to read over the long term. |
| Installation | Reversible, either side out | Choose the plain or the grid side to face outward at the time of mounting, so the surface a room uses most often does the everyday work. |
| Frame | Silver aluminium | A clean, light silver aluminium frame that suits either an education or a healthcare interior and resists marking far better than a plain painted trim. |
| Mounting | Wall-mounted, fixings supplied | A complete set of fixings is supplied in the box, so the board fixes onto a solid wall with no separate parts to buy beforehand. |
| Orientation | Fixed wall board | A permanent wall surface that takes up no floor space at all, which makes it well suited to a busy classroom, a lab or a ward where room is tight. |
| Colour | White surfaces, silver frame | A neutral, professional colour finish that keeps both written and gridded content easy to read and suits most interiors. |
| Guarantee | 5-year guarantee | The board is backed for a full five years, giving you real long-term reassurance for a fixture kept in regular, high-traffic daily use. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Double-Sided Whiteboard
Q: What is the best whiteboard for both free writing and structured charts?
A: A board with a plain face and a grid face, like the WBD1212, suits both at once. One face is plain dry-wipe for free writing and the reverse has a printed 25mm grid for charts and aligned layouts. At 1200 by 1200mm in an aluminium frame, it is non-magnetic and carries a 5-year guarantee.
Q: What is on each side of the board?
A: One side is a plain dry-wipe surface for general writing, everyday notes and freehand diagrams. The other has a printed 25mm grid for charts, graphs, lesson alignment and ward planning. Both wipe clean in the same way, giving a free-form writing surface and a structured ruled surface together on a single board.
Q: How does the 25mm grid help?
A: The printed 25mm grid keeps handwriting square, so columns run straight and entries align by eye instead of with a ruler. Squares of that size are large enough to write a figure or label inside, yet fine enough to keep a graph, chart or plan accurately aligned. The grid suits maths, technical drawing and ward charts alike.
Q: Is this board magnetic?
A: No. This is a non-magnetic dry-wipe board, so magnets will not hold on either face. The board is designed for writing rather than displaying printed material with magnets. If holding documents with magnets matters, a magnetic steel whiteboard is the better choice for that part of the job.
Q: Can the board be flipped while on the wall?
A: No. The board is fixed in position once installed, but you decide which side shows when mounting it. Decide at installation whether the plain or the grid surface suits the room, and the other side stays in reserve behind it. The board cannot be turned over once it is fitted.
Q: Is this board suitable for schools and universities?
A: Yes. Schools use the plain side for everyday lessons and the grid side for maths, graphs and handwriting alignment. Universities use it for technical drawing, lab planning and group work. The two surfaces cover both open teaching and precise, structured content on one board.
Q: Is the grid side suitable for NHS hospital use?
A: Yes. The grid side works for ward charts, bed management and daily tracking set out in tidy rows, while the plain side handles general notices and updates. The dry-wipe surfaces wipe clean between changes, keeping accurate, structured information clearly in view across a busy ward.
Q: What is the difference between this and the WBD9012?
A: Both are double-sided plain and grid boards with the same surfaces and aluminium frame. The WBD1212 is square at 1200 by 1200mm, for a balanced layout. The WBD9012 is 900 by 1200mm, a narrower board for a tighter wall. Choose the square board for a balanced layout, or the narrower board where wall space is tight.
Q: Does it come with wall fixings?
A: Yes. Wall fixings are supplied, suitable for most indoor wall types, so the board mounts to a sound wall with nothing extra to source first. Decide which side faces out before fitting, since the board is fixed in place once mounted and cannot be turned around afterwards.
Q: Will the surfaces ghost, and how are they cleaned?
A: Both surfaces resist ghosting, so they clear to a clean face instead of holding a grey trace. Wipe each side with a dry cloth or eraser after use, and use a whiteboard cleaner about once a week for heavier marks. Always use dry-wipe markers, never permanent ones, to protect both faces over time.
Q: Is this whiteboard available with free UK delivery and a guarantee?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery and carries a 5-year guarantee. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, universities and healthcare sites with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders for several rooms can be arranged through our team.
Q: Is there a larger version of this board?
A: Yes. The WBD1812 is a larger 1800 by 1200mm board with the same plain and 25mm grid surfaces and aluminium frame. Choose this square 1200 by 1200mm board where a balanced shape fits the wall, or the larger WBD1812 where a wider writing area is needed for a bigger room.

The square shape gives a balanced writing area, as tall as it is wide, that takes both freehand notes and gridded content comfortably and fits a wall a long board would overrun. A clean aluminium frame keeps it looking professional, the dry-wipe surfaces resist ghosting and wipe back to clear rather than greying, and wall fixings come supplied so it mounts and works from the start. A 5-year guarantee backs it. Best suited for classrooms, university labs and NHS wards where one board needs to handle both open writing and precise, structured layouts.
Why This Double-Sided Board Earns Its Place
- A plain side and a grid side: One face is plain for free writing and the reverse carries a printed 25mm grid for structured work, so each kind of task gets the surface built for it. There is no need to rule lines by hand for a chart or to work around a grid when writing freely.
- Choose the side at install: The board mounts with either surface facing out, decided when it goes on the wall, so a room can lead with the plain face or the grid depending on how it mostly works. The second surface is there in reserve if needs change later.
- A square that suits any layout: The even, square shape gives a balanced area that takes lists, diagrams and gridded charts equally and fits a wall where a long landscape board would be awkward. It reads well across a room without stretching wide across the space.
- Clean, hard-wearing surfaces: Both faces resist the ghosting that greys a cheaper board, wiping back to a clear, high-contrast finish even after constant daily writing. The board keeps a professional look in a busy classroom, lab or ward through heavy, repeated use.
- A neat, professional frame: A clean aluminium frame gives a tidy silver edge that suits an education or healthcare interior and resists marking better than a painted trim. The board looks considered on the wall rather than purely functional, and stays light for its size.
- Backed for five years: A 5-year guarantee stands behind the board, reflecting a build made for the demanding daily use of a school or hospital. It is meant to keep performing for years rather than wearing dull within months of heavy handling.
Where a Double-Sided Plain and Grid Board Fits Best
| Classrooms and Teaching | Lessons move between open explanation and structured work, which is exactly what two surfaces handle. The plain side suits everyday teaching and notes, the 25mm grid keeps maths, graphs and handwriting alignment neat, and the square shape holds a full topic in view. |
| University Labs and Study Areas | Technical work benefits from a ruled surface for accuracy alongside a blank one for discussion. The grid side supports technical drawing and lab planning, the plain side takes group notes, and the board gives a precise reference without ruling lines by hand. |
| NHS Wards and Patient Boards | Wards run on structured, accurate information that has to stay clear. The grid side suits ward charts, bed management and tracking daily updates in neat columns, while the plain side carries general notices, keeping organised data and free notes on one board. |
| Training and Meeting Rooms | A session often needs a framework on one surface and free notes on another. The grid side structures a plan or schedule into aligned rows, the plain side takes the open discussion around it, and the square format fits a meeting wall without a wide footprint. |
| Healthcare and Clinical Rooms | Clinical spaces need a clean, wipeable board that looks professional and stays legible. Dry-wipe writing clears completely from both faces, the grid keeps a chart or tracker aligned, and the square shape suits a smaller clinical or consulting wall. |
| Offices and Planning Areas | Teams planning work value a grid for timelines and trackers and a plain side for the thinking around them. One board carries both, the square area keeps a plan readable across a room, and the choice of outward side suits how a team mostly works. |
Need a Different Size or Shape?
For a narrower wall, the 900mm board brings the same plain and grid surfaces in a smaller size. For a wider surface, the 1800mm board steps up the writing area.

The Displaysense WBD1212 is a Double-Sided Whiteboard with an Aluminium Frame. Wall-mounted dry-wipe board with two surfaces, one plain face and one printed 25mm grid face, non-magnetic, ghosting-resistant, in an aluminium frame. Dimensions 1200mm x 1200mm, square format. Silver finish, mounts with either side facing out, fixed once installed. Wall fixings supplied. 5-year guarantee. Best suited for classrooms, university labs, training rooms, NHS wards and healthcare rooms. Also available in a smaller 900mm size such as the WBD9012 and a larger 1800mm size such as the WBD1812. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
The two surfaces exist because writing comes in two forms. Open work, such as notes, explanations and freehand diagrams, suits a clear blank surface with nothing to constrain it. Structured work, such as charts, graphs, timetables and anything that needs columns or alignment, is far easier on a ruled surface. This board carries a plain face on one side and a printed grid on the other, so neither kind of work ever has to be forced onto the wrong surface. Each side simply does what it is good at, which is why a single board can serve a room that moves between loose writing and precise, organised layouts.
The grid itself is printed at 25mm spacing, which is a practical size for the work it supports. Squares at that spacing comfortably take a handwritten figure or label, yet stay fine enough to hold a chart, a graph or a plan in accurate alignment. The printed lines steer handwriting so columns run straight and entries line up by eye, which matters for a maths worked example, a technical drawing or a ward chart where neatness is part of being readable. Because the grid is printed into the surface rather than added on, it stays put and wipes clean along with the writing.
How the board is mounted is part of its flexibility. It is a wall board rather than a mobile one, fixed in a chosen position for a stable, always-ready surface, and it is hung with whichever side suits the room facing outward. That choice is made at installation, so a maths room might lead with the grid while a meeting room leads with the plain side, each keeping the other surface in reserve. Being wall-mounted also keeps it out of the way, taking no floor space in a room that is already busy, which suits a classroom or a clinical area where space is tight.
The build is chosen to last in daily use. An aluminium frame keeps the board light for its size and gives a clean edge that resists the marking a painted trim picks up over time, while both writing surfaces are made to resist ghosting, wiping back to clear rather than holding a grey shadow. Day to day the board asks for little, cleaning with a dry cloth and an occasional whiteboard cleaner for heavier marks, and using dry-wipe rather than permanent pens keeps both faces at their best. A 5-year guarantee stands firmly behind it for lasting reassurance.

Full specifications for the WBD1212 double-sided whiteboard. A square wall-mounted board with two dry-wipe surfaces, one plain and one printed with a 25mm grid, non-magnetic and ghosting-resistant, set in a silver aluminium frame. It mounts with either side facing out and is backed by a 5-year guarantee.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 1200mm x 1200mm | A balanced square surface, exactly as tall as it is wide, giving a generous and even writing area without taking up the wider landscape footprint that a long board would need on the wall. |
| Format | Square | An even, balanced shape that handles both freehand notes and gridded charts equally well, and fits a wall or an alcove where a long landscape board would overrun the space. |
| Surfaces | Double-sided, plain and 25mm grid | A plain face for open writing plus a ruled 25mm grid face for structured work, so every kind of job sits on the surface made for it. |
| Grid | Printed 25mm grid | Squares sized to hold a written figure or a short label, yet still fine enough to keep charts, graphs and plans neatly aligned without reaching for a ruler. |
| Surface Type | Non-magnetic dry-wipe | Takes dry-wipe pens and erases cleanly for frequent daily updates, with a smooth face that holds no magnets on either side. |
| Surface Finish | Ghosting-resistant dry-wipe | Wipes back to a clean face without any grey shadowing left behind, so both sides stay high-contrast and easy to read over the long term. |
| Installation | Reversible, either side out | Choose the plain or the grid side to face outward at the time of mounting, so the surface a room uses most often does the everyday work. |
| Frame | Silver aluminium | A clean, light silver aluminium frame that suits either an education or a healthcare interior and resists marking far better than a plain painted trim. |
| Mounting | Wall-mounted, fixings supplied | A complete set of fixings is supplied in the box, so the board fixes onto a solid wall with no separate parts to buy beforehand. |
| Orientation | Fixed wall board | A permanent wall surface that takes up no floor space at all, which makes it well suited to a busy classroom, a lab or a ward where room is tight. |
| Colour | White surfaces, silver frame | A neutral, professional colour finish that keeps both written and gridded content easy to read and suits most interiors. |
| Guarantee | 5-year guarantee | The board is backed for a full five years, giving you real long-term reassurance for a fixture kept in regular, high-traffic daily use. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Double-Sided Whiteboard
Q: What is the best whiteboard for both free writing and structured charts?
A: A board with a plain face and a grid face, like the WBD1212, suits both at once. One face is plain dry-wipe for free writing and the reverse has a printed 25mm grid for charts and aligned layouts. At 1200 by 1200mm in an aluminium frame, it is non-magnetic and carries a 5-year guarantee.
Q: What is on each side of the board?
A: One side is a plain dry-wipe surface for general writing, everyday notes and freehand diagrams. The other has a printed 25mm grid for charts, graphs, lesson alignment and ward planning. Both wipe clean in the same way, giving a free-form writing surface and a structured ruled surface together on a single board.
Q: How does the 25mm grid help?
A: The printed 25mm grid keeps handwriting square, so columns run straight and entries align by eye instead of with a ruler. Squares of that size are large enough to write a figure or label inside, yet fine enough to keep a graph, chart or plan accurately aligned. The grid suits maths, technical drawing and ward charts alike.
Q: Is this board magnetic?
A: No. This is a non-magnetic dry-wipe board, so magnets will not hold on either face. The board is designed for writing rather than displaying printed material with magnets. If holding documents with magnets matters, a magnetic steel whiteboard is the better choice for that part of the job.
Q: Can the board be flipped while on the wall?
A: No. The board is fixed in position once installed, but you decide which side shows when mounting it. Decide at installation whether the plain or the grid surface suits the room, and the other side stays in reserve behind it. The board cannot be turned over once it is fitted.
Q: Is this board suitable for schools and universities?
A: Yes. Schools use the plain side for everyday lessons and the grid side for maths, graphs and handwriting alignment. Universities use it for technical drawing, lab planning and group work. The two surfaces cover both open teaching and precise, structured content on one board.
Q: Is the grid side suitable for NHS hospital use?
A: Yes. The grid side works for ward charts, bed management and daily tracking set out in tidy rows, while the plain side handles general notices and updates. The dry-wipe surfaces wipe clean between changes, keeping accurate, structured information clearly in view across a busy ward.
Q: What is the difference between this and the WBD9012?
A: Both are double-sided plain and grid boards with the same surfaces and aluminium frame. The WBD1212 is square at 1200 by 1200mm, for a balanced layout. The WBD9012 is 900 by 1200mm, a narrower board for a tighter wall. Choose the square board for a balanced layout, or the narrower board where wall space is tight.
Q: Does it come with wall fixings?
A: Yes. Wall fixings are supplied, suitable for most indoor wall types, so the board mounts to a sound wall with nothing extra to source first. Decide which side faces out before fitting, since the board is fixed in place once mounted and cannot be turned around afterwards.
Q: Will the surfaces ghost, and how are they cleaned?
A: Both surfaces resist ghosting, so they clear to a clean face instead of holding a grey trace. Wipe each side with a dry cloth or eraser after use, and use a whiteboard cleaner about once a week for heavier marks. Always use dry-wipe markers, never permanent ones, to protect both faces over time.
Q: Is this whiteboard available with free UK delivery and a guarantee?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery and carries a 5-year guarantee. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, universities and healthcare sites with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders for several rooms can be arranged through our team.
Q: Is there a larger version of this board?
A: Yes. The WBD1812 is a larger 1800 by 1200mm board with the same plain and 25mm grid surfaces and aluminium frame. Choose this square 1200 by 1200mm board where a balanced shape fits the wall, or the larger WBD1812 where a wider writing area is needed for a bigger room.
Guides for Choosing and Using Whiteboards
A double-sided board works best when the right surface faces out and the size suits the room. Knowing how to make the most of a plain side and a grid side, when a square shape beats a landscape one and how to plan a layout for clear, organised work all make a real difference.

Overview
One Board, the Right Surface for Each Task
Some work wants a clear, open surface and some wants structure, and most rooms need both at different moments. The WBD1212 answers that by putting a different surface on each side, a plain dry-wipe face for free writing, notes and presentations, and a printed 25mm grid on the reverse for charts, graphs, aligned layouts and ward planning. You choose which side faces out when the board is mounted, so the surface that suits the room does the everyday work while the other waits in reserve. The square shape gives a balanced writing area, as tall as it is wide, that takes both freehand notes and gridded content comfortably and fits a wall a long board would overrun.
