A Large Board With Two Surfaces, One Open and One Ruled
A big board earns its place when it does more than one job, and the WBD1812 does exactly that with two different faces. One side is a plain dry-wipe surface for free writing, brainstorming and presenting to a room. The reverse carries a pre-printed square grid for keeping diagrams, charts and structured plans neat and aligned. The generous format gives space to lay out a lot of information at once, which suits whole-group teaching, technical drawing and complex planning. The non-magnetic surface resists ghosting and wipes back to clean rather than greying with use, the satin anodised aluminium frame is finished with rounded safe corners, and concealed fixings let it mount as a clean panel with a pen tray to hand. It hangs in either portrait or landscape and carries a 5-year surface guarantee. Best suited for classrooms, training rooms and design studios where a large board needs to switch easily between open writing and structured layouts.
Why a Large Two-Surface Board Does More for the Space
- Plain face for open work: One side is a clear, unmarked dry-wipe surface for brainstorming, teaching and presenting, where ruled lines would only get in the way. The large area gives a group plenty of room to think out loud and capture ideas, then wipes back to blank for the next session.
- Gridded face for structure: The reverse carries a pre-printed square grid that keeps diagrams, tables, technical drawings and plans neatly aligned without ruling a single line by hand. It suits engineering and design work, maths teaching and any layout that needs to look ordered and stay easy to read across a room.
- Generous format for whole-group work: The large surface gives space to present a lot of information at once, run an interactive session or map a complex project without running out of board. It is sized for a room full of people to see clearly rather than a small group gathered close.
- Rounded safe corners: The frame is finished with smooth, rounded corners that reduce the risk of knocks and injury in a busy room. That makes a large board a safer fit for classrooms, corridors and high-traffic spaces where people pass close to it through the day.
- Satin aluminium frame, concealed fixings: A satin anodised aluminium frame resists marking and corrosion and gives a polished, professional look, while concealed wall fixings hide the hardware so the board mounts as a clean, seamless panel rather than showing brackets on the wall.
- Mounts either way, ready to fit: The board hangs in portrait or landscape to suit the wall and the workflow, and it arrives with a full wall mounting kit and a pen tray. It is backed by a 5-year surface guarantee, so it can be specified for a busy room with confidence.
Where a Large Plain-and-Grid Board Fits Best
| Classrooms and Schools | Teachers present a lesson on the plain face and turn to the grid for maths, graphs or structured work, all on a board big enough for a full class to read at once. The rounded corners and durable surface suit a busy teaching room used all day. |
| Training and Meeting Rooms | Trainers run open discussion on the plain side and reveal a framework or schedule on the gridded reverse. The large format presents plenty of information at once, so a whole room follows a session without the board running out of space. |
| Engineering and Design Studios | Technical teams use the grid for accurate sketches, layouts and dimensioned drawings, and the plain side for notes and review. The pre-printed squares keep drawings to scale, turning a whiteboard into a working drafting surface. |
| Healthcare and NHS Facilities | Departments use the gridded face for rotas, capacity boards and structured planning, and the plain side for briefings and notices. The wipe-clean surface and tidy concealed-fixing finish suit a clinical area where appearance matters. |
| Offices and Planning Spaces | Teams map ideas freely on the plain face and lay out timelines, schedules or sprint boards on the grid. One large board covers both jobs, so a planning room is not forced to choose between an open and a structured surface. |
| Universities and Lecture Rooms | Lecturers work through open discussion on one face and turn to the grid for technical content, tables or collaborative planning. The large surface reads from the back of a seminar room and gives two ways to teach on one wall. |
Need a Bigger Board, or One That Moves?
For the widest wall, the extra-large double-sided board offers the same plain and grid surfaces on a bigger scale. If you need to wheel the board between rooms, the same-size mobile swivel board turns between both faces on castors.

The Displaysense WBD1812 is a Double-Sided Whiteboard with an aluminium frame. Wall-mounted double-sided dry-wipe board, one plain face and one pre-printed 25mm grid face, non-magnetic. Surface dimensions 1800mm W x 1200mm H. Satin anodised aluminium frame with rounded safe corners and concealed fixings, silver finish, integrated pen tray. Wall-mounted, mounts portrait or landscape. 5-year surface guarantee. Suited to classrooms, training rooms, engineering and design studios, healthcare, offices and universities. Also available as the larger WBD2412 and as the same-size mobile swivel SW1812L. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
The value of this board comes from its two different faces rather than its size alone. A plain board gives you one open surface, and a standard double-sided board simply repeats it. Here, one face is plain and the other is printed with a square grid, so a single large board offers two genuinely different ways to work. Open writing and structured writing want different things from a surface, and a board this size is often asked to do both in the course of a day. Having a plain side and a ruled side on one panel means a room is never forced to pick just one approach for everything it writes.
The grid side is what makes the board useful for technical and structured work. The pre-printed squares give alignment for columns, even spacing for rows and a consistent scale, so diagrams, tables, timetables and dimensioned sketches come out neat without anyone ruling a line. In an engineering or design studio that turns an ordinary whiteboard into a genuine working drafting surface, and in a classroom it supports maths teaching and tidy, structured layouts. When that structure is not wanted, the plain reverse gives a clean, open face instead, so the same board covers freehand and formal work.
A large board sits where people gather and pass close by, so the construction is finished with that in mind. The corners of the satin anodised aluminium frame are rounded rather than sharp, which cuts the chance of bumps and scrapes in a busy room and counts most in schools and similar well-used areas. The aluminium itself is treated to resist marking and corrosion, keeping a polished, professional look over time, and the wall fixings sit fully out of sight so the board mounts flush as a tidy panel, with no brackets on display on a prominent wall.
The board arrives ready to install and built for daily service. Everything needed to fix it is provided, along with a pen tray, and it can be fitted either way up, portrait or landscape, to match the wall and the way the room works. The non-magnetic dry-wipe surface resists ghosting, the grey shadow that builds when ink soaks into a cheaper finish, so a normal wipe takes both faces back to clean. A 5-year surface guarantee backs it for the long term, and a quick dry cloth with an occasional whiteboard cleaner keeps both surfaces clear and presentable for years.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Dimensions | 1800mm (W) x 1200mm (H) | A large surface that shows a great deal of content in a single view and reads clearly from right across a busy classroom, design studio or meeting room. |
| Surfaces | Double-sided, plain and grid | One open face for free writing and one gridded face for neat charts and accurate drawings, so you can simply pick the right side for each task in hand. |
| Grid Size | 25mm printed squares | A clear, evenly spaced printed grid of squares that keeps diagrams, tables and technical sketches neatly aligned and to scale without ruling any lines by hand. |
| Surface Type | Non-magnetic dry-wipe | Takes dry-wipe pens and erases cleanly for frequent updates, though content is held by writing rather than with magnets, as the surface is non-magnetic. |
| Surface Finish | Ghosting-resistant | Wipes back to a clean face without any grey shadowing at all, so both sides still look professional even after constant daily use. |
| Frame | Satin anodised aluminium | A strong, treated aluminium frame that resists marking and corrosion well and gives a polished, professional finish for any school or studio wall. |
| Corners | Rounded safe corners | Smooth, rounded corners lower the risk of knocks and scrapes in a busy room, making a large board safer in schools and other high-traffic spaces. |
| Fixings | Concealed wall fixings | The mounting hardware stays hidden away behind the board, so it fixes as a clean, seamless panel with no brackets showing on the wall at all. |
| Pen Tray | Supplied with the board | Keeps a marker and an eraser right at the board itself, so in a busy shared room the writing kit always stays put rather than wandering off elsewhere. |
| Finish Colour | Silver | A clean, neutral silver frame finish that suits school, studio, clinical and office interiors alike and keeps writing easy to read. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Hang it wide or upright as the particular space needs, so a single board can fit a far wider range of rooms than a fixed-layout board ever would. |
| Guarantee | 5-year surface guarantee | The writing surface is backed for a full five years, giving real long-term reassurance for a board in constant daily use. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Double-Sided Whiteboard
Q: What is the best large whiteboard for both open writing and technical work?
A: A large double-sided board with a plain face and a grid face, like the WBD1812, handles both. The plain side suits brainstorming and presenting, while the gridded side keeps diagrams, charts and drawings aligned. At 1800mm wide it presents plenty of information at once, and it carries a 5-year guarantee.
Q: What is on each side of the board?
A: One face is a smooth, unmarked dry-wipe area for general writing, notes and presentations. The other carries a pre-printed 25mm square grid for structured work such as diagrams, tables, technical sketches and charts. Both faces erase cleanly, so the single board handles two different jobs.
Q: What is the 25mm grid useful for?
A: The 25mm printed squares line columns up, space rows evenly and hold a steady scale, so diagrams, tables and dimensioned sketches come out tidy with no lines ruled by hand. In design and engineering it works as a drafting surface, and in schools it supports maths and structured layouts.
Q: Is this whiteboard suitable for schools and lecture rooms?
A: Yes. The board is big enough to be read from the rear of a classroom or seminar room, with the plain face for lesson notes and the gridded side for maths, charts or other structured work. Rounded safe corners and a hard-wearing surface suit a busy teaching space written on from morning to afternoon.
Q: Is this whiteboard suitable for design studios and engineering teams?
A: Yes. The gridded face works as a drafting surface for precise sketches, scale layouts and dimensioned drawings, while the plain side suits notes and review. The 25mm squares keep technical work to scale, turning a large whiteboard into a practical working surface for a studio or workshop.
Q: Is this board magnetic?
A: No. This is a non-magnetic dry-wipe board, so magnets will not hold on either face. You write and erase on both sides, but printed material cannot be pinned with magnets. If you need to hold documents with magnets, choose a magnetic board instead of this one.
Q: How is the board mounted, and can it hang either way up?
A: It is wall-mounted and supplied with a full kit of concealed fixings, and it can be fitted upright or sideways to match the wall. The hardware stays hidden, so the board fixes as a clean panel with no brackets showing. You choose which face points into the room at installation.
Q: What is the difference between this and the mobile SW1812L?
A: Both are 1800 by 1200mm double-sided boards with plain and gridded faces. The WBD1812 is wall-mounted and fixed, with one face chosen at install. The SW1812L stands on castors and swivels between both faces, so it moves between rooms. Choose this board to fix to a wall, or the swivel version to wheel around.
Q: Are the corners safe for a busy classroom?
A: Yes. The aluminium frame uses smooth, rounded corners in place of sharp edges, cutting the chance of bumps where people pass close by. That helps a large board sit more safely in classrooms, corridors and other high-traffic spaces that are busy all day.
Q: Will the surface ghost, and how do I keep it clean?
A: The dry-wipe surface resists ghosting, so it wipes back to clean rather than holding a grey shadow. Wipe each face with a dry cloth or eraser after use, and use a whiteboard cleaner about once a week. Always use dry-wipe, never permanent, markers to protect the finish.
Q: Is this whiteboard available with UK delivery and a guarantee?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery and comes with a 5-year surface 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 whiteboard?
A: Yes. The WBD2412 is an extra-large 2400 by 1200mm board with the same plain and grid double-sided design and aluminium frame. Choose this 1800 by 1200mm board for a large classroom or studio, or the wider WBD2412 for a lecture hall or open space that needs the most writing area.
Guides for Choosing and Using Whiteboards
A large double-sided whiteboard works hardest when its surfaces and size are matched to the room and the way a team uses it. Knowing when a plain or a gridded face is the better fit, how to size a board to the wall and how to set a space up for clear collaboration all make a real difference. These guides cover choosing and getting the most from boards in schools and offices.

- Plain face for open work: One side is a clear, unmarked dry-wipe surface for brainstorming, teaching and presenting, where ruled lines would only get in the way. The large area gives a group plenty of room to think out loud and capture ideas, then wipes back to blank for the next session.
- Gridded face for structure: The reverse carries a pre-printed square grid that keeps diagrams, tables, technical drawings and plans neatly aligned without ruling a single line by hand. It suits engineering and design work, maths teaching and any layout that needs to look ordered and stay easy to read across a room.
- Generous format for whole-group work: The large surface gives space to present a lot of information at once, run an interactive session or map a complex project without running out of board. It is sized for a room full of people to see clearly rather than a small group gathered close.
- Rounded safe corners: The frame is finished with smooth, rounded corners that reduce the risk of knocks and injury in a busy room. That makes a large board a safer fit for classrooms, corridors and high-traffic spaces where people pass close to it through the day.
- Satin aluminium frame, concealed fixings: A satin anodised aluminium frame resists marking and corrosion and gives a polished, professional look, while concealed wall fixings hide the hardware so the board mounts as a clean, seamless panel rather than showing brackets on the wall.
- Mounts either way, ready to fit: The board hangs in portrait or landscape to suit the wall and the workflow, and it arrives with a full wall mounting kit and a pen tray. It is backed by a 5-year surface guarantee, so it can be specified for a busy room with confidence.
Where a Large Plain-and-Grid Board Fits Best
| Classrooms and Schools | Teachers present a lesson on the plain face and turn to the grid for maths, graphs or structured work, all on a board big enough for a full class to read at once. The rounded corners and durable surface suit a busy teaching room used all day. |
| Training and Meeting Rooms | Trainers run open discussion on the plain side and reveal a framework or schedule on the gridded reverse. The large format presents plenty of information at once, so a whole room follows a session without the board running out of space. |
| Engineering and Design Studios | Technical teams use the grid for accurate sketches, layouts and dimensioned drawings, and the plain side for notes and review. The pre-printed squares keep drawings to scale, turning a whiteboard into a working drafting surface. |
| Healthcare and NHS Facilities | Departments use the gridded face for rotas, capacity boards and structured planning, and the plain side for briefings and notices. The wipe-clean surface and tidy concealed-fixing finish suit a clinical area where appearance matters. |
| Offices and Planning Spaces | Teams map ideas freely on the plain face and lay out timelines, schedules or sprint boards on the grid. One large board covers both jobs, so a planning room is not forced to choose between an open and a structured surface. |
| Universities and Lecture Rooms | Lecturers work through open discussion on one face and turn to the grid for technical content, tables or collaborative planning. The large surface reads from the back of a seminar room and gives two ways to teach on one wall. |
Need a Bigger Board, or One That Moves?
For the widest wall, the extra-large double-sided board offers the same plain and grid surfaces on a bigger scale. If you need to wheel the board between rooms, the same-size mobile swivel board turns between both faces on castors.

The Displaysense WBD1812 is a Double-Sided Whiteboard with an aluminium frame. Wall-mounted double-sided dry-wipe board, one plain face and one pre-printed 25mm grid face, non-magnetic. Surface dimensions 1800mm W x 1200mm H. Satin anodised aluminium frame with rounded safe corners and concealed fixings, silver finish, integrated pen tray. Wall-mounted, mounts portrait or landscape. 5-year surface guarantee. Suited to classrooms, training rooms, engineering and design studios, healthcare, offices and universities. Also available as the larger WBD2412 and as the same-size mobile swivel SW1812L. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
The value of this board comes from its two different faces rather than its size alone. A plain board gives you one open surface, and a standard double-sided board simply repeats it. Here, one face is plain and the other is printed with a square grid, so a single large board offers two genuinely different ways to work. Open writing and structured writing want different things from a surface, and a board this size is often asked to do both in the course of a day. Having a plain side and a ruled side on one panel means a room is never forced to pick just one approach for everything it writes.
The grid side is what makes the board useful for technical and structured work. The pre-printed squares give alignment for columns, even spacing for rows and a consistent scale, so diagrams, tables, timetables and dimensioned sketches come out neat without anyone ruling a line. In an engineering or design studio that turns an ordinary whiteboard into a genuine working drafting surface, and in a classroom it supports maths teaching and tidy, structured layouts. When that structure is not wanted, the plain reverse gives a clean, open face instead, so the same board covers freehand and formal work.
A large board sits where people gather and pass close by, so the construction is finished with that in mind. The corners of the satin anodised aluminium frame are rounded rather than sharp, which cuts the chance of bumps and scrapes in a busy room and counts most in schools and similar well-used areas. The aluminium itself is treated to resist marking and corrosion, keeping a polished, professional look over time, and the wall fixings sit fully out of sight so the board mounts flush as a tidy panel, with no brackets on display on a prominent wall.
The board arrives ready to install and built for daily service. Everything needed to fix it is provided, along with a pen tray, and it can be fitted either way up, portrait or landscape, to match the wall and the way the room works. The non-magnetic dry-wipe surface resists ghosting, the grey shadow that builds when ink soaks into a cheaper finish, so a normal wipe takes both faces back to clean. A 5-year surface guarantee backs it for the long term, and a quick dry cloth with an occasional whiteboard cleaner keeps both surfaces clear and presentable for years.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Double-Sided Whiteboard
Q: What is the best large whiteboard for both open writing and technical work?
A: A large double-sided board with a plain face and a grid face, like the WBD1812, handles both. The plain side suits brainstorming and presenting, while the gridded side keeps diagrams, charts and drawings aligned. At 1800mm wide it presents plenty of information at once, and it carries a 5-year guarantee.
Q: What is on each side of the board?
A: One face is a smooth, unmarked dry-wipe area for general writing, notes and presentations. The other carries a pre-printed 25mm square grid for structured work such as diagrams, tables, technical sketches and charts. Both faces erase cleanly, so the single board handles two different jobs.
Q: What is the 25mm grid useful for?
A: The 25mm printed squares line columns up, space rows evenly and hold a steady scale, so diagrams, tables and dimensioned sketches come out tidy with no lines ruled by hand. In design and engineering it works as a drafting surface, and in schools it supports maths and structured layouts.
Q: Is this whiteboard suitable for schools and lecture rooms?
A: Yes. The board is big enough to be read from the rear of a classroom or seminar room, with the plain face for lesson notes and the gridded side for maths, charts or other structured work. Rounded safe corners and a hard-wearing surface suit a busy teaching space written on from morning to afternoon.
Q: Is this whiteboard suitable for design studios and engineering teams?
A: Yes. The gridded face works as a drafting surface for precise sketches, scale layouts and dimensioned drawings, while the plain side suits notes and review. The 25mm squares keep technical work to scale, turning a large whiteboard into a practical working surface for a studio or workshop.
Q: Is this board magnetic?
A: No. This is a non-magnetic dry-wipe board, so magnets will not hold on either face. You write and erase on both sides, but printed material cannot be pinned with magnets. If you need to hold documents with magnets, choose a magnetic board instead of this one.
Q: How is the board mounted, and can it hang either way up?
A: It is wall-mounted and supplied with a full kit of concealed fixings, and it can be fitted upright or sideways to match the wall. The hardware stays hidden, so the board fixes as a clean panel with no brackets showing. You choose which face points into the room at installation.
Q: What is the difference between this and the mobile SW1812L?
A: Both are 1800 by 1200mm double-sided boards with plain and gridded faces. The WBD1812 is wall-mounted and fixed, with one face chosen at install. The SW1812L stands on castors and swivels between both faces, so it moves between rooms. Choose this board to fix to a wall, or the swivel version to wheel around.
Q: Are the corners safe for a busy classroom?
A: Yes. The aluminium frame uses smooth, rounded corners in place of sharp edges, cutting the chance of bumps where people pass close by. That helps a large board sit more safely in classrooms, corridors and other high-traffic spaces that are busy all day.
Q: Will the surface ghost, and how do I keep it clean?
A: The dry-wipe surface resists ghosting, so it wipes back to clean rather than holding a grey shadow. Wipe each face with a dry cloth or eraser after use, and use a whiteboard cleaner about once a week. Always use dry-wipe, never permanent, markers to protect the finish.
Q: Is this whiteboard available with UK delivery and a guarantee?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery and comes with a 5-year surface 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 whiteboard?
A: Yes. The WBD2412 is an extra-large 2400 by 1200mm board with the same plain and grid double-sided design and aluminium frame. Choose this 1800 by 1200mm board for a large classroom or studio, or the wider WBD2412 for a lecture hall or open space that needs the most writing area.
Guides for Choosing and Using Whiteboards
A large double-sided whiteboard works hardest when its surfaces and size are matched to the room and the way a team uses it. Knowing when a plain or a gridded face is the better fit, how to size a board to the wall and how to set a space up for clear collaboration all make a real difference. These guides cover choosing and getting the most from boards in schools and offices.
Overview
A Large Board With Two Surfaces, One Open and One Ruled
A big board earns its place when it does more than one job, and the WBD1812 does exactly that with two different faces. One side is a plain dry-wipe surface for free writing, brainstorming and presenting to a room. The reverse carries a pre-printed square grid for keeping diagrams, charts and structured plans neat and aligned. The generous format gives space to lay out a lot of information at once, which suits whole-group teaching, technical drawing and complex planning. The non-magnetic surface resists ghosting and wipes back to clean rather than greying with use, the satin anodised aluminium frame is finished with rounded safe corners, and concealed fixings let it mount as a clean panel with a pen tray to hand. It hangs in either portrait or landscape and carries a 5-year surface guarantee. Best suited for classrooms, training rooms and design studios where a large board needs to switch easily between open writing and structured layouts.
