Two Boards in One, on a Single Patch of Wall
Most rooms have space for one board, not two, yet often need both a clear surface for open notes and a ruled one for neat charts. The WBD9012 answers that with two different faces on a single compact board. One side is a plain dry-wipe surface for everyday writing, presentations and notes. The reverse carries a printed square grid for keeping handwriting aligned, drawing accurate charts and mapping out structured plans. You decide which face shows when the board goes up, so you set it to suit the room. The dry-wipe finish resists ghosting and wipes back to clean rather than greying, and a slim aluminium frame with a pen ledge keeps markers to hand. It is backed by a full 5-year guarantee. Best suited for classrooms, lecture rooms and hospital wards where wall space is limited but both an open surface and a structured grid are genuinely needed.
Why a Compact Two-Surface Board Earns Its Wall Space
- Plain face for open work: One side is a clear, unmarked dry-wipe surface for general notes, teaching and presentations, where ruled lines would only get in the way of the writing. It gives a clean, open space for free writing and quick updates, then wipes back to blank ready for the next use.
- Gridded face for structure: The reverse carries a printed square grid that keeps writing aligned, charts accurate and plans neatly laid out without you ruling a single line by hand. It suits maths work, handwriting practice, ward charts and almost any layout that needs to look ordered and stay easy to read at a glance.
- Two boards without two walls: Because both surfaces sit on one board, you get the use of a plain board and a gridded board while taking up the wall space of just a single one. That makes it a genuinely practical fit for a compact room where a second separate board simply would not fit.
- You choose the face at install: The board mounts with whichever surface you prefer facing outward, so you set it up to match how the room actually works in practice. It fixes securely to the wall as a stable, tidy panel rather than needing a freestanding frame and valuable floor space.
- Ghosting-resistant dry-wipe finish: The surface is made to resist the ink soak that leaves a grey shadow on a cheaper board, so even after months of repeated use it wipes back to a clean, professional face. A board in constant daily use then stays presentable for years rather than looking tired within months.
- Aluminium frame with pen ledge: A slim, lightweight aluminium frame resists marking and corrosion and gives a clean, professional edge, while an integrated pen ledge keeps markers and an eraser right at the board. Together they make a tidy, ready-to-use surface that suits a school, office or clinical wall.
Where a Compact Plain-and-Grid Board Fits Best
| Classrooms and Schools | Teachers use the plain face for lesson notes and switch to the grid for maths work, graphs or handwriting practice. The compact board suits a smaller teaching room or a focused intervention space where a full-width board simply would not fit on the available wall. |
| Universities and Lecture Rooms | Seminar and tutorial rooms use the open face for discussion and the grid for technical drawing, tables or collaborative planning. It fits a smaller teaching space neatly and gives two working surfaces without ever claiming a second wall. |
| Hospital Wards and NHS Areas | The gridded face suits ward charts and structured planning, while the plain side handles shift updates and staff notices. The compact size fits the limited wall space of a clinical bay neatly, and the surface wipes clean between uses for the next shift. |
| Staff Rooms and Small Offices | A tidy two-in-one surface for rotas on the grid and reminders or notes on the plain side, in a room where wall space is genuinely tight. The clean aluminium frame keeps a shared staff space looking organised rather than cluttered. |
| Training and Meeting Rooms | Smaller meeting and training rooms use the plain face for live discussion and the grid for schedules or frameworks. One board covers both jobs at once, so a compact room is never forced to choose between an open and a structured surface. |
| Home Studies and Offices | A board that suits a wall at home, pairing a plain planning surface with a gridded one for budgets, timetables or study notes. The smaller format fits a study or home office neatly, where a larger board would dominate the room. |
Need a Bigger Board, or One That Moves?
For a larger wall, the larger double-sided board offers the same plain and grid surfaces on a wider scale. If you need to wheel the board between rooms, the same-size mobile swivel board turns between both faces on castors.

The Displaysense WBD9012 is a Double-Sided Whiteboard with an aluminium frame. Wall-mounted double-sided dry-wipe board, one plain face and one printed 25mm grid face, non-magnetic. Surface dimensions 900mm W x 1200mm H. Aluminium frame, silver finish, integrated pen ledge, ghosting-resistant. Mounts with either face outward, chosen at installation. 5-year manufacturer guarantee. Suited to classrooms, lecture rooms, universities, hospital wards, staff rooms and home offices. Also available as the larger WBD1215 and as the same-size mobile swivel SW9012P. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
The point of this board is that its two faces are not the same. A standard double-sided board simply gives you a second blank surface, which is useful enough but does the same job twice over. Here, one face is plain and the other is printed with a square grid, so the board offers two genuinely different working surfaces. Open writing and structured writing want different things, and having both means you pick the surface that fits the task rather than forcing everything onto one blank face. On a compact board especially, that versatility is what lets a single piece of wall do the work of two separate boards in the space of one.
The grid side is more than a decorative feature. The printed squares give you alignment for columns, even spacing for rows and a consistent sense of scale, so tables, graphs, timetables and ward charts come out neat without anyone ruling a line by hand. In a school it supports maths work and tidy handwriting practice, and on a hospital ward it keeps a chart legible and ordered even under pressure. When that structure is not wanted, a turn to the plain reverse gives a clean, open surface instead, so the same board comfortably covers both free-form and formal work.
This is a wall-mounted board rather than a mobile or swivelling one, which keeps it simple and stable. It fixes flat to the wall and stays there, so it does not need any floor space or a freestanding frame. You decide which of the two faces points into the room when it is first installed, setting it to suit how the space is actually used, and the chosen surface then stays presented day to day without changing. For a room that wants a fixed, dependable board held in one set position, that is exactly the right arrangement.
The board is finished to stay clear and presentable through daily use. The dry-wipe surface resists ghosting, the grey shadow that builds up when ink soaks into a cheaper finish, so a normal wipe takes both faces back to clean. The frame is lightweight aluminium, which keeps the board easy to handle and gives a tidy, professional edge, and a pen ledge holds a marker and eraser at the board. A 5-year manufacturer guarantee backs it for the long term, and a quick dry cloth with an occasional whiteboard cleaner keeps both surfaces in good order for years.

| Frame | Aluminium | A slim, lightweight aluminium frame that resists marking and corrosion well, keeping a clean and professional edge for years of use. |
| Pen Ledge | Integrated into the frame | Holds a marker and an eraser on the frame beside the surface, so in a busy shared room the writing kit always stays put rather than wandering off somewhere. |
| Finish Colour | Silver | A clean, neutral silver frame finish that suits school, clinical and office interiors alike and keeps written content easy to read. |
| Installation | Wall-mounted, choose face at install | Fix it flat to the wall with your preferred surface facing outward, so it can be set up to suit exactly how the room is actually used. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Double-Sided Whiteboard
Q: What is the best compact whiteboard for both notes and structured charts?
A: A compact double-sided board with a plain face and a grid face, like the WBD9012, covers both in one. The plain side suits general notes and presentations, while the gridded side keeps charts, tables and handwriting neatly aligned. At 900mm wide it fits a smaller wall in a classroom or clinical room, 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 day-to-day writing, notes and presentations. The other carries a printed 25mm square grid for structured work such as tables, graphs, aligned handwriting and ward 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 tables, graphs and charts come out tidy with no lines ruled by hand. In schools it helps with maths and neat lettering, while on a ward it keeps a chart ordered and easy to read at speed.
Q: Is this whiteboard suitable for schools and lecture rooms?
A: Yes. In class, the open side takes lesson notes while the grid handles maths, graphs or neat lettering, all on one board. The compact size suits a smaller teaching room, a tutorial space or an intervention room where a full-width board would not fit on the wall.
Q: Is it suitable for NHS hospitals and wards?
A: Yes. The squared side works for ward charts and structured planning, and the open side covers shift updates and staff notices. Its small footprint suits the tight wall space of a clinical bay or treatment room, and the dry-wipe finish clears fully between uses so each shift starts on a blank board.
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 sheets or charts cannot be pinned with magnets. If you need to hold documents with magnets, choose a magnetic coated steel board instead of this one.
Q: How is the board mounted, and can I choose which side faces out?
A: It is wall-mounted and supplied with fixings. You decide which face shows once it is fitted, setting it to suit the space. The board is fixed once up rather than reversible day to day, so decide the outward surface at installation. Wall fittings are included.
Q: What is the difference between this and the mobile SW9012P?
A: Both are 900 by 1200mm double-sided boards with plain and gridded faces. The WBD9012 is wall-mounted and fixed, with one face chosen at install. The SW9012P 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 it around.
Q: Is a pen ledge included?
A: Yes. The board comes with an integrated pen ledge on the frame that keeps your markers and an eraser close at hand. That keeps the writing kit with the board in a busy shared room, so pens do not wander off elsewhere, and it needs no separate tray or extra fixing.
Q: Will the surface ghost, and how do I keep it clean?
A: The dry-wipe surface resists ghosting, so it wipes back to a clean face rather than holding a grey shadow over time. Wipe each side with a dry cloth or eraser after use, and use a proper 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 manufacturer guarantee covering materials and workmanship. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, universities and healthcare sites with display products since 1978. Bulk orders for several rooms can be arranged through our team.
Q: Is there a larger version of this whiteboard?
A: Yes. The WBD1215 is a larger 1500 by 1200mm board with the same plain and grid double-sided design and aluminium frame. Choose this compact 900 by 1200mm board for a smaller wall, or the larger WBD1215 for a classroom or meeting room that needs more writing space.
Guides for Choosing and Using Whiteboards
A 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.

- Gridded face for structure: The reverse carries a printed square grid that keeps writing aligned, charts accurate and plans neatly laid out without you ruling a single line by hand. It suits maths work, handwriting practice, ward charts and almost any layout that needs to look ordered and stay easy to read at a glance.
- Two boards without two walls: Because both surfaces sit on one board, you get the use of a plain board and a gridded board while taking up the wall space of just a single one. That makes it a genuinely practical fit for a compact room where a second separate board simply would not fit.
- You choose the face at install: The board mounts with whichever surface you prefer facing outward, so you set it up to match how the room actually works in practice. It fixes securely to the wall as a stable, tidy panel rather than needing a freestanding frame and valuable floor space.
- Ghosting-resistant dry-wipe finish: The surface is made to resist the ink soak that leaves a grey shadow on a cheaper board, so even after months of repeated use it wipes back to a clean, professional face. A board in constant daily use then stays presentable for years rather than looking tired within months.
- Aluminium frame with pen ledge: A slim, lightweight aluminium frame resists marking and corrosion and gives a clean, professional edge, while an integrated pen ledge keeps markers and an eraser right at the board. Together they make a tidy, ready-to-use surface that suits a school, office or clinical wall.
Where a Compact Plain-and-Grid Board Fits Best
| Classrooms and Schools | Teachers use the plain face for lesson notes and switch to the grid for maths work, graphs or handwriting practice. The compact board suits a smaller teaching room or a focused intervention space where a full-width board simply would not fit on the available wall. |
| Universities and Lecture Rooms | Seminar and tutorial rooms use the open face for discussion and the grid for technical drawing, tables or collaborative planning. It fits a smaller teaching space neatly and gives two working surfaces without ever claiming a second wall. |
| Hospital Wards and NHS Areas | The gridded face suits ward charts and structured planning, while the plain side handles shift updates and staff notices. The compact size fits the limited wall space of a clinical bay neatly, and the surface wipes clean between uses for the next shift. |
| Staff Rooms and Small Offices | A tidy two-in-one surface for rotas on the grid and reminders or notes on the plain side, in a room where wall space is genuinely tight. The clean aluminium frame keeps a shared staff space looking organised rather than cluttered. |
| Training and Meeting Rooms | Smaller meeting and training rooms use the plain face for live discussion and the grid for schedules or frameworks. One board covers both jobs at once, so a compact room is never forced to choose between an open and a structured surface. |
| Home Studies and Offices | A board that suits a wall at home, pairing a plain planning surface with a gridded one for budgets, timetables or study notes. The smaller format fits a study or home office neatly, where a larger board would dominate the room. |
Need a Bigger Board, or One That Moves?
For a larger wall, the larger double-sided board offers the same plain and grid surfaces on a wider scale. If you need to wheel the board between rooms, the same-size mobile swivel board turns between both faces on castors.

The Displaysense WBD9012 is a Double-Sided Whiteboard with an aluminium frame. Wall-mounted double-sided dry-wipe board, one plain face and one printed 25mm grid face, non-magnetic. Surface dimensions 900mm W x 1200mm H. Aluminium frame, silver finish, integrated pen ledge, ghosting-resistant. Mounts with either face outward, chosen at installation. 5-year manufacturer guarantee. Suited to classrooms, lecture rooms, universities, hospital wards, staff rooms and home offices. Also available as the larger WBD1215 and as the same-size mobile swivel SW9012P. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
The point of this board is that its two faces are not the same. A standard double-sided board simply gives you a second blank surface, which is useful enough but does the same job twice over. Here, one face is plain and the other is printed with a square grid, so the board offers two genuinely different working surfaces. Open writing and structured writing want different things, and having both means you pick the surface that fits the task rather than forcing everything onto one blank face. On a compact board especially, that versatility is what lets a single piece of wall do the work of two separate boards in the space of one.
The grid side is more than a decorative feature. The printed squares give you alignment for columns, even spacing for rows and a consistent sense of scale, so tables, graphs, timetables and ward charts come out neat without anyone ruling a line by hand. In a school it supports maths work and tidy handwriting practice, and on a hospital ward it keeps a chart legible and ordered even under pressure. When that structure is not wanted, a turn to the plain reverse gives a clean, open surface instead, so the same board comfortably covers both free-form and formal work.
This is a wall-mounted board rather than a mobile or swivelling one, which keeps it simple and stable. It fixes flat to the wall and stays there, so it does not need any floor space or a freestanding frame. You decide which of the two faces points into the room when it is first installed, setting it to suit how the space is actually used, and the chosen surface then stays presented day to day without changing. For a room that wants a fixed, dependable board held in one set position, that is exactly the right arrangement.
The board is finished to stay clear and presentable through daily use. The dry-wipe surface resists ghosting, the grey shadow that builds up when ink soaks into a cheaper finish, so a normal wipe takes both faces back to clean. The frame is lightweight aluminium, which keeps the board easy to handle and gives a tidy, professional edge, and a pen ledge holds a marker and eraser at the board. A 5-year manufacturer guarantee backs it for the long term, and a quick dry cloth with an occasional whiteboard cleaner keeps both surfaces in good order for years.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Double-Sided Whiteboard
Q: What is the best compact whiteboard for both notes and structured charts?
A: A compact double-sided board with a plain face and a grid face, like the WBD9012, covers both in one. The plain side suits general notes and presentations, while the gridded side keeps charts, tables and handwriting neatly aligned. At 900mm wide it fits a smaller wall in a classroom or clinical room, 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 day-to-day writing, notes and presentations. The other carries a printed 25mm square grid for structured work such as tables, graphs, aligned handwriting and ward 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 tables, graphs and charts come out tidy with no lines ruled by hand. In schools it helps with maths and neat lettering, while on a ward it keeps a chart ordered and easy to read at speed.
Q: Is this whiteboard suitable for schools and lecture rooms?
A: Yes. In class, the open side takes lesson notes while the grid handles maths, graphs or neat lettering, all on one board. The compact size suits a smaller teaching room, a tutorial space or an intervention room where a full-width board would not fit on the wall.
Q: Is it suitable for NHS hospitals and wards?
A: Yes. The squared side works for ward charts and structured planning, and the open side covers shift updates and staff notices. Its small footprint suits the tight wall space of a clinical bay or treatment room, and the dry-wipe finish clears fully between uses so each shift starts on a blank board.
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 sheets or charts cannot be pinned with magnets. If you need to hold documents with magnets, choose a magnetic coated steel board instead of this one.
Q: How is the board mounted, and can I choose which side faces out?
A: It is wall-mounted and supplied with fixings. You decide which face shows once it is fitted, setting it to suit the space. The board is fixed once up rather than reversible day to day, so decide the outward surface at installation. Wall fittings are included.
Q: What is the difference between this and the mobile SW9012P?
A: Both are 900 by 1200mm double-sided boards with plain and gridded faces. The WBD9012 is wall-mounted and fixed, with one face chosen at install. The SW9012P 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 it around.
Q: Is a pen ledge included?
A: Yes. The board comes with an integrated pen ledge on the frame that keeps your markers and an eraser close at hand. That keeps the writing kit with the board in a busy shared room, so pens do not wander off elsewhere, and it needs no separate tray or extra fixing.
Q: Will the surface ghost, and how do I keep it clean?
A: The dry-wipe surface resists ghosting, so it wipes back to a clean face rather than holding a grey shadow over time. Wipe each side with a dry cloth or eraser after use, and use a proper 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 manufacturer guarantee covering materials and workmanship. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, universities and healthcare sites with display products since 1978. Bulk orders for several rooms can be arranged through our team.
Q: Is there a larger version of this whiteboard?
A: Yes. The WBD1215 is a larger 1500 by 1200mm board with the same plain and grid double-sided design and aluminium frame. Choose this compact 900 by 1200mm board for a smaller wall, or the larger WBD1215 for a classroom or meeting room that needs more writing space.
Guides for Choosing and Using Whiteboards
A 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
Two Boards in One, on a Single Patch of Wall
Most rooms have space for one board, not two, yet often need both a clear surface for open notes and a ruled one for neat charts. The WBD9012 answers that with two different faces on a single compact board. One side is a plain dry-wipe surface for everyday writing, presentations and notes. The reverse carries a printed square grid for keeping handwriting aligned, drawing accurate charts and mapping out structured plans. You decide which face shows when the board goes up, so you set it to suit the room. The dry-wipe finish resists ghosting and wipes back to clean rather than greying, and a slim aluminium frame with a pen ledge keeps markers to hand. It is backed by a full 5-year guarantee. Best suited for classrooms, lecture rooms and hospital wards where wall space is limited but both an open surface and a structured grid are genuinely needed.
