A Wall of Writing and Pinning Space for the Whole Room
When a room needs to write and display at the same time, a plain board falls short and a small board runs out of space. The WBSM1224 is a large magnetic coated steel whiteboard that does both jobs on one wide surface. Write with dry-wipe pens, then hold notices, charts and printouts beside your notes with magnets, so live working and reference material share the same wall. The coated steel surface wipes clean without ghosting through heavy daily use, and the slim aluminium frame keeps the large board flat and tidy against the wall. Best suited for classrooms, training centres and boardrooms where a group plans together and printed material needs to stay clearly visible right alongside the writing on the same wall.
Why This Magnetic Board Earns Its Wall Space
- Write and pin on the same surface: The coated steel face takes dry-wipe pens and magnets at the same time, so a printed agenda, a chart or a photo sits right beside your handwritten notes. Reference material and live working share one wall instead of competing for separate boards or pin strips dotted around the room.
- A genuinely large working area: The wide surface gives a whole class or project team room to plan, teach or brainstorm at the same time, and stays readable from the back of a big room. Nobody has to crowd the front or wait for space to clear before adding their part to the board, which keeps a session moving.
- Coated steel that resists ghosting: The hard-wearing steel surface is built to release marker ink fully, so it wipes back to a clean finish rather than holding the grey shadows that make budget boards look permanently used. It keeps that professional look through constant daily writing and erasing in a busy room.
- Mounts landscape or portrait: Supplied with wall fixings, the board fixes securely in whichever orientation best suits the wall and the room. Hang it wide for a teaching wall or upright in a narrower space, so a single product fits more rooms than a fixed-orientation board ever could.
- Slim aluminium frame: A light but rigid aluminium frame caps the vulnerable edges, holds the large surface flat against the wall and gives a clean, neutral finish. It suits a classroom, a training suite or a boardroom without ever drawing attention away from what is on the board.
- Built for heavy, everyday use: Coated steel is chosen for rooms where a board is written on and cleared many times a day. It stands up to constant use far better than the cheaper surfaces that wear and stain quickly, making it a board that keeps performing for years rather than needing replacing.
The Rooms This Board Was Built For
| Classrooms and Teaching Spaces | Whole classes follow the same lesson at once, readable from the back row without straining to see. Magnets hold worksheets, exemplar work and notices beside the teaching, and the coated steel wipes clean for the next lesson without any shadowing left behind. |
| Training Centres and Workshops | Trainers build a process out step by step while a printed framework or handout stays pinned beside it on the same board. Live work happens on the steel with reference material in view, then the whole board wipes clean between groups through a long busy day. |
| Offices and Boardrooms | Team planning, strategy and project work all benefit from the extra width and the magnetic surface. Pin the agenda or the latest figures next to the live notes, so a meeting keeps its reference material and its working notes side by side on one shared wall. |
| Project and Planning Rooms | Sprint boards, schedules and visual planning stay up on the wall between sessions rather than being wiped. Magnets let cards, printouts and timelines move around the board easily as the plan changes through the week, so progress is always on show. |
| Universities and Lecture Spaces | Lecturers get room for a full worked example or a whole term plan, with magnets to hold printed references alongside. The coated steel handles the constant writing and erasing of back-to-back teaching sessions in a busy university department. |
| Reception and Staff Areas | Rotas, notices and team information stay framed and tidy in shared spaces where everyone passes through. The magnetic face keeps printed schedules and updates pinned where they are seen, and the neutral frame suits a professional reception or a busy staff room. |
Prefer Non-Magnetic, or Need a Smaller Board?
If you only write and do not need magnets, the double-sided non-magnetic version offers a plain and a grid face for less. If the full width is more than your wall allows, the 1500mm wide magnetic board keeps the same coated steel surface in a smaller frame.

The Displaysense WBSM1224 is a Magnetic Coated Steel Whiteboard, a large wall-mounted board. Magnetic coated steel surface for dry-wipe writing and magnets, single-sided, ghosting-resistant. Surface dimensions 2400mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 23kg. Slim aluminium frame, silver finish. Wall-mounted with fixings supplied, mounts landscape or portrait. Works with standard dry-wipe pens, accessories sold separately. Suited to classrooms, training centres, offices, boardrooms and universities. Also available as the non-magnetic double-sided WBD2412 and the smaller magnetic WBSM1215. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
A magnetic whiteboard works because of what sits beneath the white writing layer. This board uses coated steel, a sheet of steel finished with a smooth, hard-wearing white coating. The coating is what your dry-wipe pen writes on and wipes off, while the steel underneath is what magnets grip. That is why one surface does two jobs at once. You write on it like any whiteboard, and at the same time you hold printed sheets, photos or charts against it with magnets. A board without a steel layer can only be written on, which is the single biggest practical difference between a magnetic and a non-magnetic board.
Ghosting is the faint grey shadow left behind when marker ink soaks into a cheap surface and refuses to wipe away fully. It is what makes an old whiteboard look permanently dirty even after cleaning. The coated steel finish on this board is engineered to release the ink completely, so a normal wipe takes the writing back to a clean surface. That matters most in the rooms this board is made for, where the same area is filled and wiped repeatedly across a single day. A surface that wipes truly clean keeps each new note legible instead of competing with the ghost of the last one.
This is a wall-mounted board, so the way it is fixed is a one-time decision made at installation. It comes with wall fixings and can be mounted in either landscape or portrait orientation, which is fairly unusual and also genuinely useful. A wide teaching wall suits landscape mounting, while a tall, narrow alcove or a corridor pillar may suit portrait. Because it fixes flat and stays put, it gives a large, stable surface that takes firm pressure from a pen without shifting, which a freestanding board on castors cannot match in quite the same way.
The board is held in a slim aluminium frame, and that frame does more than tidy the edges. Aluminium is light for its strength, so a surface this large stays rigid and flat against the wall without a heavy timber surround, and it does not rust or warp in a warm, busy room. The frame caps the vulnerable board edges where knocks and peeling usually begin. The board has real substance to it, so mount it on a solid wall with fittings matched to the wall type. Once up, it gives a firm, immovable surface that is comfortable to write against.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Magnetic Steel Whiteboard
Q: What is the best large magnetic whiteboard for a classroom or office?
A: For rooms that need to write and pin at once, a magnetic coated steel board this size is a strong choice. At 2400mm across it can be read from across a large room, takes dry-wipe pens and holds printed material with magnets. A good fit wherever a group plans together and needs reference material on show.
Q: Is the surface magnetic, and how does that work?
A: Yes. The board is coated steel, which means a steel sheet under a white dry-wipe coating. You write on the coating with pens, while the steel beneath lets magnets grip. That lets you hold notices, charts and printouts on the same surface you write on, so reference material and notes share one board.
Q: Will the surface ghost or stain with heavy daily use?
A: No. The coated steel surface resists ghosting, the grey shadowing that ruins cheaper boards. Used with proper dry-wipe markers and wiped regularly, it clears back to clean. A whiteboard cleaning spray lifts any stubborn marks. Avoid permanent markers and abrasive pads, which damage any dry-wipe surface.
Q: Is this whiteboard suitable for offices and boardrooms?
A: Yes. Offices and boardrooms use it for team planning, strategy sessions and project work. Magnets hold the agenda, figures or printouts next to what is being written, so the source material and the discussion stay together on one wall. The wide surface gives a whole table room to contribute at once.
Q: Is this whiteboard suitable for schools and classrooms?
A: Yes. Classrooms use it for whole-class teaching, worked examples and group tasks, with magnets holding worksheets and exemplar work beside the lesson. At 2400mm across it reads clearly from the back of a full room, and the coated steel wipes clean between lessons without leaving shadows from the previous class.
Q: How is the board mounted to the wall?
A: It comes with wall fixings and mounts in either landscape or portrait orientation. Because it weighs around 23kg, fit it onto solid masonry or a reinforced surface with fixings matched to your wall. Once installed it holds firm, giving a steady face for writing and pinning.
Q: What size is this whiteboard and how heavy is it?
A: The surface is 2400mm wide by 1200mm high, the largest in the magnetic range, and the board weighs around 23kg. The width keeps it readable across a big room, and the weight gives a solid surface to write against once it is fixed to the wall.
Q: What is the difference between this and the non-magnetic WBD2412?
A: Both are 2400 x 1200mm wall-mounted boards in an aluminium frame. This magnetic coated steel board lets you pin printed material with magnets as well as write. The WBD2412 is non-magnetic, write-only and double-sided with a plain and a grid face, and it costs less. Choose magnetic to pin and write, or the non-magnetic board to write only for less.
Q: Do I need a magnetic board, or would non-magnetic do?
A: It depends on whether you pin paper. If you hold handouts, charts or photos on the board, you need a magnetic surface like this one. If you only ever write and erase, a non-magnetic board does that for less. Most classrooms and meeting rooms that display printed material choose magnetic.
Q: What pens and accessories work with it?
A: Any standard dry-wipe whiteboard marker works on the surface, with a normal eraser or cloth to clear it. Pens, erasers and magnets come separately, so you can match the ink colours, nib widths and magnet pull to what the room needs. Always use dry-wipe pens, never permanent markers, to protect the ghosting-resistant finish.
Q: Is this whiteboard available with UK delivery?
A: Yes. This board ships with free UK mainland delivery. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, offices and healthcare sites with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist rather than an importer. Bulk orders for several rooms can be arranged through our team.
Q: Is there a smaller version of this magnetic whiteboard?
A: Yes. The WBSM1215 is 1500mm wide by 1200mm high, with the same magnetic coated steel surface and aluminium frame. Choose the 2400mm board for large rooms where people sit well back. Choose the smaller WBSM1215 where wall space is tighter but you still want a magnetic surface.
Guides for Choosing and Using Large Whiteboards
A large magnetic whiteboard works hardest when it is matched to the room and used well.

Reference material and live working share one wall instead of competing for separate boards or pin strips dotted around the room.
- A genuinely large working area: The wide surface gives a whole class or project team room to plan, teach or brainstorm at the same time, and stays readable from the back of a big room. Nobody has to crowd the front or wait for space to clear before adding their part to the board, which keeps a session moving.
- Coated steel that resists ghosting: The hard-wearing steel surface is built to release marker ink fully, so it wipes back to a clean finish rather than holding the grey shadows that make budget boards look permanently used. It keeps that professional look through constant daily writing and erasing in a busy room.
- Mounts landscape or portrait: Supplied with wall fixings, the board fixes securely in whichever orientation best suits the wall and the room. Hang it wide for a teaching wall or upright in a narrower space, so a single product fits more rooms than a fixed-orientation board ever could.
- Slim aluminium frame: A light but rigid aluminium frame caps the vulnerable edges, holds the large surface flat against the wall and gives a clean, neutral finish. It suits a classroom, a training suite or a boardroom without ever drawing attention away from what is on the board.
- Built for heavy, everyday use: Coated steel is chosen for rooms where a board is written on and cleared many times a day. It stands up to constant use far better than the cheaper surfaces that wear and stain quickly, making it a board that keeps performing for years rather than needing replacing.
The Rooms This Board Was Built For
| Classrooms and Teaching Spaces | Whole classes follow the same lesson at once, readable from the back row without straining to see. Magnets hold worksheets, exemplar work and notices beside the teaching, and the coated steel wipes clean for the next lesson without any shadowing left behind. |
| Training Centres and Workshops | Trainers build a process out step by step while a printed framework or handout stays pinned beside it on the same board. Live work happens on the steel with reference material in view, then the whole board wipes clean between groups through a long busy day. |
| Offices and Boardrooms | Team planning, strategy and project work all benefit from the extra width and the magnetic surface. Pin the agenda or the latest figures next to the live notes, so a meeting keeps its reference material and its working notes side by side on one shared wall. |
| Project and Planning Rooms | Sprint boards, schedules and visual planning stay up on the wall between sessions rather than being wiped. Magnets let cards, printouts and timelines move around the board easily as the plan changes through the week, so progress is always on show. |
| Universities and Lecture Spaces | Lecturers get room for a full worked example or a whole term plan, with magnets to hold printed references alongside. The coated steel handles the constant writing and erasing of back-to-back teaching sessions in a busy university department. |
| Reception and Staff Areas | Rotas, notices and team information stay framed and tidy in shared spaces where everyone passes through. The magnetic face keeps printed schedules and updates pinned where they are seen, and the neutral frame suits a professional reception or a busy staff room. |
Prefer Non-Magnetic, or Need a Smaller Board?
If you only write and do not need magnets, the double-sided non-magnetic version offers a plain and a grid face for less. If the full width is more than your wall allows, the 1500mm wide magnetic board keeps the same coated steel surface in a smaller frame.

The Displaysense WBSM1224 is a Magnetic Coated Steel Whiteboard, a large wall-mounted board. Magnetic coated steel surface for dry-wipe writing and magnets, single-sided, ghosting-resistant. Surface dimensions 2400mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 23kg. Slim aluminium frame, silver finish. Wall-mounted with fixings supplied, mounts landscape or portrait. Works with standard dry-wipe pens, accessories sold separately. Suited to classrooms, training centres, offices, boardrooms and universities. Also available as the non-magnetic double-sided WBD2412 and the smaller magnetic WBSM1215. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
A magnetic whiteboard works because of what sits beneath the white writing layer. This board uses coated steel, a sheet of steel finished with a smooth, hard-wearing white coating. The coating is what your dry-wipe pen writes on and wipes off, while the steel underneath is what magnets grip. That is why one surface does two jobs at once. You write on it like any whiteboard, and at the same time you hold printed sheets, photos or charts against it with magnets. A board without a steel layer can only be written on, which is the single biggest practical difference between a magnetic and a non-magnetic board.
Ghosting is the faint grey shadow left behind when marker ink soaks into a cheap surface and refuses to wipe away fully. It is what makes an old whiteboard look permanently dirty even after cleaning. The coated steel finish on this board is engineered to release the ink completely, so a normal wipe takes the writing back to a clean surface. That matters most in the rooms this board is made for, where the same area is filled and wiped repeatedly across a single day. A surface that wipes truly clean keeps each new note legible instead of competing with the ghost of the last one.
This is a wall-mounted board, so the way it is fixed is a one-time decision made at installation. It comes with wall fixings and can be mounted in either landscape or portrait orientation, which is fairly unusual and also genuinely useful. A wide teaching wall suits landscape mounting, while a tall, narrow alcove or a corridor pillar may suit portrait. Because it fixes flat and stays put, it gives a large, stable surface that takes firm pressure from a pen without shifting, which a freestanding board on castors cannot match in quite the same way.
The board is held in a slim aluminium frame, and that frame does more than tidy the edges. Aluminium is light for its strength, so a surface this large stays rigid and flat against the wall without a heavy timber surround, and it does not rust or warp in a warm, busy room. The frame caps the vulnerable board edges where knocks and peeling usually begin. The board has real substance to it, so mount it on a solid wall with fittings matched to the wall type. Once up, it gives a firm, immovable surface that is comfortable to write against.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Magnetic Steel Whiteboard
Q: What is the best large magnetic whiteboard for a classroom or office?
A: For rooms that need to write and pin at once, a magnetic coated steel board this size is a strong choice. At 2400mm across it can be read from across a large room, takes dry-wipe pens and holds printed material with magnets. A good fit wherever a group plans together and needs reference material on show.
Q: Is the surface magnetic, and how does that work?
A: Yes. The board is coated steel, which means a steel sheet under a white dry-wipe coating. You write on the coating with pens, while the steel beneath lets magnets grip. That lets you hold notices, charts and printouts on the same surface you write on, so reference material and notes share one board.
Q: Will the surface ghost or stain with heavy daily use?
A: No. The coated steel surface resists ghosting, the grey shadowing that ruins cheaper boards. Used with proper dry-wipe markers and wiped regularly, it clears back to clean. A whiteboard cleaning spray lifts any stubborn marks. Avoid permanent markers and abrasive pads, which damage any dry-wipe surface.
Q: Is this whiteboard suitable for offices and boardrooms?
A: Yes. Offices and boardrooms use it for team planning, strategy sessions and project work. Magnets hold the agenda, figures or printouts next to what is being written, so the source material and the discussion stay together on one wall. The wide surface gives a whole table room to contribute at once.
Q: Is this whiteboard suitable for schools and classrooms?
A: Yes. Classrooms use it for whole-class teaching, worked examples and group tasks, with magnets holding worksheets and exemplar work beside the lesson. At 2400mm across it reads clearly from the back of a full room, and the coated steel wipes clean between lessons without leaving shadows from the previous class.
Q: How is the board mounted to the wall?
A: It comes with wall fixings and mounts in either landscape or portrait orientation. Because it weighs around 23kg, fit it onto solid masonry or a reinforced surface with fixings matched to your wall. Once installed it holds firm, giving a steady face for writing and pinning.
Q: What size is this whiteboard and how heavy is it?
A: The surface is 2400mm wide by 1200mm high, the largest in the magnetic range, and the board weighs around 23kg. The width keeps it readable across a big room, and the weight gives a solid surface to write against once it is fixed to the wall.
Q: What is the difference between this and the non-magnetic WBD2412?
A: Both are 2400 x 1200mm wall-mounted boards in an aluminium frame. This magnetic coated steel board lets you pin printed material with magnets as well as write. The WBD2412 is non-magnetic, write-only and double-sided with a plain and a grid face, and it costs less. Choose magnetic to pin and write, or the non-magnetic board to write only for less.
Q: Do I need a magnetic board, or would non-magnetic do?
A: It depends on whether you pin paper. If you hold handouts, charts or photos on the board, you need a magnetic surface like this one. If you only ever write and erase, a non-magnetic board does that for less. Most classrooms and meeting rooms that display printed material choose magnetic.
Q: What pens and accessories work with it?
A: Any standard dry-wipe whiteboard marker works on the surface, with a normal eraser or cloth to clear it. Pens, erasers and magnets come separately, so you can match the ink colours, nib widths and magnet pull to what the room needs. Always use dry-wipe pens, never permanent markers, to protect the ghosting-resistant finish.
Q: Is this whiteboard available with UK delivery?
A: Yes. This board ships with free UK mainland delivery. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, offices and healthcare sites with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist rather than an importer. Bulk orders for several rooms can be arranged through our team.
Q: Is there a smaller version of this magnetic whiteboard?
A: Yes. The WBSM1215 is 1500mm wide by 1200mm high, with the same magnetic coated steel surface and aluminium frame. Choose the 2400mm board for large rooms where people sit well back. Choose the smaller WBSM1215 where wall space is tighter but you still want a magnetic surface.
Guides for Choosing and Using Large Whiteboards
A large magnetic whiteboard works hardest when it is matched to the room and used well. Knowing when a magnetic surface earns its place, how to size a board to the space and how to set a room 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 Wall of Writing and Pinning Space for the Whole Room
When a room needs to write and display at the same time, a plain board falls short and a small board runs out of space. The WBSM1224 is a large magnetic coated steel whiteboard that does both jobs on one wide surface. Write with dry-wipe pens, then hold notices, charts and printouts beside your notes with magnets, so live working and reference material share the same wall. The coated steel surface wipes clean without ghosting through heavy daily use, and the slim aluminium frame keeps the large board flat and tidy against the wall. Best suited for classrooms, training centres and boardrooms where a group plans together and printed material needs to stay clearly visible right alongside the writing on the same wall.
Why This Magnetic Board Earns Its Wall Space
- Write and pin on the same surface: The coated steel face takes dry-wipe pens and magnets at the same time, so a printed agenda, a chart or a photo sits right beside your handwritten notes.
