Two Magnetic Faces, One Clean Wall-Mounted Board
A double-sided board usually means choosing which surface faces the room. The WBD1215 gives you two working faces that each do a different job and both hold magnets, so nothing is wasted. One side is plain for open writing, brainstorming and everyday notes, while the reverse carries a printed square grid for keeping diagrams, tables and structured plans aligned. Because both faces are magnetic steel, charts, handouts and visual aids pin straight onto the board alongside whatever is being written. The satin anodised aluminium frame uses a concealed mounting system, where snap-on corner covers hide every fixing for a clean, finished look on the wall, and it hangs in portrait or landscape with a pen tray and wall fixings supplied. It is approved by the Department for Education for use in UK schools. Best suited for classrooms, offices and design studios where a board needs to write, pin and present on both faces and look considered on the wall.
Why This Dual-Surface Magnetic Board Earns Its Place
- Two surfaces for two kinds of work: A plain face suits free writing and group discussion, while the printed grid face keeps handwriting, diagrams and tables square and aligned. One board carries both the open and the structured parts of a session, so you are never stuck with the wrong surface for the task in front of you.
- Magnetic on both faces: Each side is magnetic steel, so documents, notes and visual aids pin directly to the board with magnets while you write and erase around them. The board works as a writing surface and a display surface at once, on two full faces rather than the single side a one-sided board offers.
- Concealed, clean mounting: The Flushfix system hides every wall fixing behind snap-on corner covers, so the board sits flush and finished rather than showing brackets or screw heads. It gives a tidy, deliberate look that suits a smart office, a studio or a front-facing room where appearance matters.
- Anti-scratch, anti-ghosting surface: The coated surface resists staining, scratching and the ghosting that leaves a grey shadow on a cheaper board, so it wipes back to a clear, high-contrast face. Even with daily use it stays sharp and clean rather than looking tired and marked within months.
- Approved for schools: The board is approved by the Department for Education for use in UK schools, colleges and universities, so it meets the standards expected in education and public sector settings. That makes specifying it for a school or college a straightforward, confident choice.
- Ready to fit, either way up: A slim satin anodised aluminium frame gives a clean, contemporary edge, and the board hangs in portrait or landscape to suit the wall. A full wall fixing kit and an integrated pen tray come supplied, so it is ready to mount and use without sourcing anything extra.
Where a Double-Sided Magnetic Board Fits Best
| Classrooms and Schools | Approved for education, the board lets a teacher write freely on the plain face and switch to the grid for maths or handwriting, with magnets holding worksheets up for the class. Both faces stay in use, getting more teaching surface from one fixed board. |
| Offices and Meeting Rooms | Planning and presenting run on opposite faces, with an agenda or chart pinned on magnets beside live notes. The concealed mounting keeps a meeting room looking smart, and the magnetic surface turns a wall into a working planning space. |
| Design and Technical Studios | The printed grid suits laying a concept out to scale or sketching a technical diagram, while the plain face takes rough working. Magnets hold reference sheets and printouts in view, so a studio keeps its visual material on the board as it works. |
| Training Rooms and Workshops | A trainer presents on one face and pins printed material to the other, turning the board between structured content and open notes across a session. The hard-wearing surface takes the heavy, repeated use a shared training room puts it through. |
| Universities and Lecture Spaces | Seminar and tutorial rooms use the large dual surface for both teaching and group work, with magnets keeping handouts and diagrams beside the writing. Approval for education and a wipe-clean finish make it a practical fit across a campus. |
| Collaborative and Project Areas | Shared project spaces split a fixed reference on one magnetic face from live working on the other, so a team keeps both in view at once. The board mounts cleanly on the wall and stays out of the way while giving the group room to plan. |
Comparing Boards or Sizes?
If you only need one working face, the same-size single-sided magnetic board offers a magnetic surface on one side. For a wider board, the larger double-sided board brings the same dual surface in a bigger frame.

The Displaysense WBD1215 is a Double-Sided Whiteboard with an aluminium frame. Wall-mounted double-sided board, one plain face and one printed 25mm grid face, both faces magnetic steel. Surface dimensions 1500mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 13kg. Satin anodised aluminium frame with Flushfix concealed mounting and snap-on corner covers, silver finish, anti-scratch and anti-ghosting, integrated pen tray, wall fixings supplied. Mounts portrait or landscape. Department for Education approved. 1-year manufacturer guarantee. Suited to classrooms, offices, design studios, training rooms, universities and collaborative areas. Also available as the single-sided WBSM1215 and the larger double-sided WBD1812. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
The two faces are designed to do different things, which is the whole point of a double-sided board. Open writing and structured writing ask for different surfaces, so one side is left plain for free notes, brainstorming and discussion, where ruled lines would only get in the way, and the other carries a printed square grid. That grid is a faint pattern that keeps handwriting, diagrams, tables and plans aligned without anyone ruling a line by hand. Having both on a single board means it covers the loose and the ordered parts of a working day rather than forcing a choice between them.
Both faces are magnetic, which turns each surface into two tools at once. The steel behind the writing surface lets magnets hold firmly, so printed charts, documents and visual aids stay held on the board while writing goes on and is rubbed out across the rest of the face. On a board with two magnetic faces, a team can keep a fixed reference pinned on one side and use the other for live work, switching the board around as the room needs. A non-magnetic board cannot hold material this way, so the magnetic surface adds a display function on top of the writing one.
Mounting is designed to look as clean as the board itself. The Flushfix system secures the board to the wall and then tucks the fixings out of sight under snap-on corner covers, so no brackets or screw heads are visible once it is up. The result sits flush and finished against the wall rather than looking bolted on. The board can be hung either way up, wide or tall, to match the available wall, and the slim satin anodised aluminium frame resists marking and corrosion while keeping a contemporary edge that holds its appearance over time.
The surface is built to stay clear and to meet the standards a school demands. The writing surface uses a hard, sealed coating that shrugs off scratches, stains and the kind of ghosting that dulls a budget board into a grey haze, so it clears completely through heavy daily use. Department for Education approval sits behind the board, confirming it as safe to specify across UK education and public sector settings. A dry cloth handles everyday cleaning, with an occasional whiteboard cleaner for heavier marks, and dry-wipe rather than permanent pens keep both faces in good order.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Double-Sided Whiteboard
Q: What is the best double-sided whiteboard for a classroom or office?
A: A double-sided magnetic board, like the WBD1215, suits classrooms and offices well. Both faces are magnetic steel, one plain and one with a 25mm grid, so the board writes, pins and presents on either side. The board is 1500 by 1200mm and mounts with concealed fixings for a clean finish.
Q: How does the magnetic surface help day to day?
A: Both faces are magnetic steel, so charts, documents and visual aids grip on either side with magnets while writing and wiping carry on across the rest of the face. That turns each surface into a display board as well as a writing one, giving two full magnetic faces to work across rather than a single side.
Q: Is this whiteboard suitable for schools?
A: Yes. The board holds Department for Education approval, the certification that clears a board for UK schools, colleges and universities. A teacher writes on the plain face and turns to the 25mm grid for maths or handwriting, while magnets hold worksheets up for the class to see.
Q: Is this whiteboard suitable for offices and design studios?
A: Yes. In offices, planning runs on one face and an agenda or chart pins to the other on magnets. In design studios, the printed grid lays a concept out to scale while the plain face takes rough sketches. The concealed mounting keeps the board looking smart in a front-facing room.
Q: Which side should face the room once it is mounted?
A: Either side can face out, since both are magnetic and fully usable. Many rooms mount the board with the plain face showing for everyday writing and turn to the grid when structured work is needed. The choice depends on which surface the room uses most, as the board is fixed once installed.
Q: Is a double-sided board worth it over a single-sided one?
A: A double-sided board earns its place where a room needs both open and structured surfaces, since it carries a plain face and a grid face on one fixed board. If only one writing surface is ever used, a single-sided board is simpler and cheaper. Two faces suit mixed teaching, planning and design work.
Q: What is the difference between this and the single-sided WBSM1215?
A: Both are 1500 by 1200mm magnetic wall boards. The WBSM1215 is single-sided coated steel, with one magnetic writing face. The WBD1215 is double-sided, with a plain face and a 25mm grid face, both magnetic. Choose the single-sided board for a simpler wall board, or this double-sided board for two working surfaces.
Q: Will the surface scratch or ghost over time?
A: No. The surface is finished with a hard, sealed anti-scratch and anti-porous layer that holds off staining, scratching and ghosting, even with regular daily use. Old ink does not soak in, so the board wipes back to a clean, high-contrast face rather than holding the grey shadow that marks a softer, cheaper surface.
Q: How is the board mounted and can it hang either way up?
A: The board is wall-mounted with a supplied fixing kit, and the Flushfix system hides every fixing behind clip-on corner covers for a flush finish. The board hangs in portrait or landscape, chosen at installation. Check the wall can carry the 13kg board, which fixes securely either way up.
Q: What guarantee does the board come with?
A: The board comes with a one-year manufacturer guarantee, which protects it against manufacturing faults from the purchase date onward. For a much longer-life surface, a vitreous enamel board carries an extended surface guarantee, though this dual-surface magnetic board is built for everyday school and office use.
Q: Is this whiteboard available with UK delivery?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, offices and design studios with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders for several rooms or a whole site can be arranged through our team.
Q: Is there a larger version of this whiteboard?
A: Yes. The WBD1812 is a larger 1800 by 1200mm double-sided board with the same plain and 25mm grid surfaces and aluminium frame. Choose this 1500 by 1200mm board for a standard office or classroom, or the wider WBD1812 where the wall allows more writing area.
Guides for Choosing and Using Whiteboards
A whiteboard works hardest when its surfaces, size and mounting suit the room and the task. Knowing when a plain or a gridded face is the better fit, how a magnetic surface adds a display function 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 offices and schools.

A double-sided board usually means choosing which surface faces the room. The WBD1215 gives you two working faces that each do a different job and both hold magnets, so nothing is wasted. One side is plain for open writing, brainstorming and everyday notes, while the reverse carries a printed square grid for keeping diagrams, tables and structured plans aligned. Because both faces are magnetic steel, charts, handouts and visual aids pin straight onto the board alongside whatever is being written. The satin anodised aluminium frame uses a concealed mounting system, where snap-on corner covers hide every fixing for a clean, finished look on the wall, and it hangs in portrait or landscape with a pen tray and wall fixings supplied. It is approved by the Department for Education for use in UK schools. Best suited for classrooms, offices and design studios where a board needs to write, pin and present on both faces and look considered on the wall.
Why This Dual-Surface Magnetic Board Earns Its Place
- Two surfaces for two kinds of work: A plain face suits free writing and group discussion, while the printed grid face keeps handwriting, diagrams and tables square and aligned. One board carries both the open and the structured parts of a session, so you are never stuck with the wrong surface for the task in front of you.
- Magnetic on both faces: Each side is magnetic steel, so documents, notes and visual aids pin directly to the board with magnets while you write and erase around them. The board works as a writing surface and a display surface at once, on two full faces rather than the single side a one-sided board offers.
- Concealed, clean mounting: The Flushfix system hides every wall fixing behind snap-on corner covers, so the board sits flush and finished rather than showing brackets or screw heads. It gives a tidy, deliberate look that suits a smart office, a studio or a front-facing room where appearance matters.
- Anti-scratch, anti-ghosting surface: The coated surface resists staining, scratching and the ghosting that leaves a grey shadow on a cheaper board, so it wipes back to a clear, high-contrast face. Even with daily use it stays sharp and clean rather than looking tired and marked within months.
- Approved for schools: The board is approved by the Department for Education for use in UK schools, colleges and universities, so it meets the standards expected in education and public sector settings. That makes specifying it for a school or college a straightforward, confident choice.
- Ready to fit, either way up: A slim satin anodised aluminium frame gives a clean, contemporary edge, and the board hangs in portrait or landscape to suit the wall. A full wall fixing kit and an integrated pen tray come supplied, so it is ready to mount and use without sourcing anything extra.
Where a Double-Sided Magnetic Board Fits Best
| Classrooms and Schools | Approved for education, the board lets a teacher write freely on the plain face and switch to the grid for maths or handwriting, with magnets holding worksheets up for the class. Both faces stay in use, getting more teaching surface from one fixed board. |
| Offices and Meeting Rooms | Planning and presenting run on opposite faces, with an agenda or chart pinned on magnets beside live notes. The concealed mounting keeps a meeting room looking smart, and the magnetic surface turns a wall into a working planning space. |
| Design and Technical Studios | The printed grid suits laying a concept out to scale or sketching a technical diagram, while the plain face takes rough working. Magnets hold reference sheets and printouts in view, so a studio keeps its visual material on the board as it works. |
| Training Rooms and Workshops | A trainer presents on one face and pins printed material to the other, turning the board between structured content and open notes across a session. The hard-wearing surface takes the heavy, repeated use a shared training room puts it through. |
| Universities and Lecture Spaces | Seminar and tutorial rooms use the large dual surface for both teaching and group work, with magnets keeping handouts and diagrams beside the writing. Approval for education and a wipe-clean finish make it a practical fit across a campus. |
| Collaborative and Project Areas | Shared project spaces split a fixed reference on one magnetic face from live working on the other, so a team keeps both in view at once. The board mounts cleanly on the wall and stays out of the way while giving the group room to plan. |
Comparing Boards or Sizes?
If you only need one working face, the same-size single-sided magnetic board offers a magnetic surface on one side. For a wider board, the larger double-sided board brings the same dual surface in a bigger frame.

The Displaysense WBD1215 is a Double-Sided Whiteboard with an aluminium frame. Wall-mounted double-sided board, one plain face and one printed 25mm grid face, both faces magnetic steel. Surface dimensions 1500mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 13kg. Satin anodised aluminium frame with Flushfix concealed mounting and snap-on corner covers, silver finish, anti-scratch and anti-ghosting, integrated pen tray, wall fixings supplied. Mounts portrait or landscape. Department for Education approved. 1-year manufacturer guarantee. Suited to classrooms, offices, design studios, training rooms, universities and collaborative areas. Also available as the single-sided WBSM1215 and the larger double-sided WBD1812. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
The two faces are designed to do different things, which is the whole point of a double-sided board. Open writing and structured writing ask for different surfaces, so one side is left plain for free notes, brainstorming and discussion, where ruled lines would only get in the way, and the other carries a printed square grid. That grid is a faint pattern that keeps handwriting, diagrams, tables and plans aligned without anyone ruling a line by hand. Having both on a single board means it covers the loose and the ordered parts of a working day rather than forcing a choice between them.
Both faces are magnetic, which turns each surface into two tools at once. The steel behind the writing surface lets magnets hold firmly, so printed charts, documents and visual aids stay held on the board while writing goes on and is rubbed out across the rest of the face. On a board with two magnetic faces, a team can keep a fixed reference pinned on one side and use the other for live work, switching the board around as the room needs. A non-magnetic board cannot hold material this way, so the magnetic surface adds a display function on top of the writing one.
Mounting is designed to look as clean as the board itself. The Flushfix system secures the board to the wall and then tucks the fixings out of sight under snap-on corner covers, so no brackets or screw heads are visible once it is up. The result sits flush and finished against the wall rather than looking bolted on. The board can be hung either way up, wide or tall, to match the available wall, and the slim satin anodised aluminium frame resists marking and corrosion while keeping a contemporary edge that holds its appearance over time.
The surface is built to stay clear and to meet the standards a school demands. The writing surface uses a hard, sealed coating that shrugs off scratches, stains and the kind of ghosting that dulls a budget board into a grey haze, so it clears completely through heavy daily use. Department for Education approval sits behind the board, confirming it as safe to specify across UK education and public sector settings. A dry cloth handles everyday cleaning, with an occasional whiteboard cleaner for heavier marks, and dry-wipe rather than permanent pens keep both faces in good order.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Double-Sided Whiteboard
Q: What is the best double-sided whiteboard for a classroom or office?
A: A double-sided magnetic board, like the WBD1215, suits classrooms and offices well. Both faces are magnetic steel, one plain and one with a 25mm grid, so the board writes, pins and presents on either side. The board is 1500 by 1200mm and mounts with concealed fixings for a clean finish.
Q: How does the magnetic surface help day to day?
A: Both faces are magnetic steel, so charts, documents and visual aids grip on either side with magnets while writing and wiping carry on across the rest of the face. That turns each surface into a display board as well as a writing one, giving two full magnetic faces to work across rather than a single side.
Q: Is this whiteboard suitable for schools?
A: Yes. The board holds Department for Education approval, the certification that clears a board for UK schools, colleges and universities. A teacher writes on the plain face and turns to the 25mm grid for maths or handwriting, while magnets hold worksheets up for the class to see.
Q: Is this whiteboard suitable for offices and design studios?
A: Yes. In offices, planning runs on one face and an agenda or chart pins to the other on magnets. In design studios, the printed grid lays a concept out to scale while the plain face takes rough sketches. The concealed mounting keeps the board looking smart in a front-facing room.
Q: Which side should face the room once it is mounted?
A: Either side can face out, since both are magnetic and fully usable. Many rooms mount the board with the plain face showing for everyday writing and turn to the grid when structured work is needed. The choice depends on which surface the room uses most, as the board is fixed once installed.
Q: Is a double-sided board worth it over a single-sided one?
A: A double-sided board earns its place where a room needs both open and structured surfaces, since it carries a plain face and a grid face on one fixed board. If only one writing surface is ever used, a single-sided board is simpler and cheaper. Two faces suit mixed teaching, planning and design work.
Q: What is the difference between this and the single-sided WBSM1215?
A: Both are 1500 by 1200mm magnetic wall boards. The WBSM1215 is single-sided coated steel, with one magnetic writing face. The WBD1215 is double-sided, with a plain face and a 25mm grid face, both magnetic. Choose the single-sided board for a simpler wall board, or this double-sided board for two working surfaces.
Q: Will the surface scratch or ghost over time?
A: No. The surface is finished with a hard, sealed anti-scratch and anti-porous layer that holds off staining, scratching and ghosting, even with regular daily use. Old ink does not soak in, so the board wipes back to a clean, high-contrast face rather than holding the grey shadow that marks a softer, cheaper surface.
Q: How is the board mounted and can it hang either way up?
A: The board is wall-mounted with a supplied fixing kit, and the Flushfix system hides every fixing behind clip-on corner covers for a flush finish. The board hangs in portrait or landscape, chosen at installation. Check the wall can carry the 13kg board, which fixes securely either way up.
Q: What guarantee does the board come with?
A: The board comes with a one-year manufacturer guarantee, which protects it against manufacturing faults from the purchase date onward. For a much longer-life surface, a vitreous enamel board carries an extended surface guarantee, though this dual-surface magnetic board is built for everyday school and office use.
Q: Is this whiteboard available with UK delivery?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, offices and design studios with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders for several rooms or a whole site can be arranged through our team.
Q: Is there a larger version of this whiteboard?
A: Yes. The WBD1812 is a larger 1800 by 1200mm double-sided board with the same plain and 25mm grid surfaces and aluminium frame. Choose this 1500 by 1200mm board for a standard office or classroom, or the wider WBD1812 where the wall allows more writing area.
Guides for Choosing and Using Whiteboards
A whiteboard works hardest when its surfaces, size and mounting suit the room and the task. Knowing when a plain or a gridded face is the better fit, how a magnetic surface adds a display function 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 offices and schools.
