Two Writing Surfaces, One Quick Flip Apart
A session often needs two kinds of surface, an open space for free writing and a structured one for aligned, gridded work. The SW9012P puts both on one board and lets you switch between them in seconds. It rotates a full turn on its horizontal axis, so a flip of the board brings the plain side or the feint-grid side to the front without stopping to swap boards or rub anything out. The plain face suits open notes, diagrams and brainstorming, while the feint-grid reverse keeps charts, plans and columns neatly aligned. It is a portrait board, taller than it is wide, so it gives generous vertical writing space while taking up little floor in a narrow or busy room. The surface is non-magnetic dry-wipe, easy to clean and resistant to ghosting, and the board stands on a sturdy freestanding frame with lockable castors and a stability bar, so it rolls between rooms and locks firm for use. A 5-year surface guarantee backs it. Best suited for schools, training centres and planning teams where a session moves between free writing and structured, gridded work.
Why This Swivel Portrait Board Works for Sessions
- Flip between two surfaces in seconds: The board turns a full circle on its horizontal axis, so the plain side or the grid side comes to the front with a single flip. A session moves from open writing to structured work without pausing to wipe a surface clean or fetch a second board.
- Plain one side, feint grid the other: One face is plain for free notes, diagrams and brainstorming, and the reverse carries a subtle feint grid for charts, plans and aligned columns. Each kind of work gets the surface that suits it, rather than forcing gridded content onto a blank board or vice versa.
- Tall format for narrow spaces: A portrait shape gives plenty of vertical writing height while keeping a small footprint, so it fits a narrow wall space, a corner or a busy room where a wide board would not. It suits tall content like lists, flows and timelines that read naturally from top to bottom.
- Clean, hard-wearing surface: The non-magnetic dry-wipe face wipes back to clean and resists the ghosting that greys a cheaper board, so it stays clear and professional through constant daily writing. It is built for the frequent updates and note-taking a teaching or planning board sees.
- Mobile and steady from one frame: The board rolls between rooms on castors that lock, so one person moves it without lifting or wall fixing, and a stability bar braces the freestanding frame so it stays planted and firm while in use. Easy to reposition, solid to write and swivel against.
- Backed for five years: A 5-year surface guarantee stands behind the board, reflecting a build made for the high-frequency use of a school, college or training room. It is meant to keep performing for years of daily writing, flipping and repositioning rather than wearing out early.
Where a Swivel Portrait Board Fits Best
| Schools and Colleges | Teaching often switches between free explanation and structured work, so a board that flips from a plain side to a grid side keeps a lesson moving. The portrait height suits worked examples and step-by-step content, and the board wheels between classrooms as the timetable needs. |
| Training Centres and Workshops | A trainer can keep open notes on one face and a structured framework on the other, turning the board between them as a session develops. It rolls between training rooms, locks in place, and the tall surface keeps a whole sequence in view at once. |
| Visual Planning Teams | Planning work moves between loose ideas and aligned grids, which is exactly what the two surfaces handle. The feint grid keeps timelines and columns straight, the plain side takes the rough thinking, and a quick flip switches the team between the two. |
| Project and Agile Spaces | Spaces that run stand-ups and reviews benefit from a board that brings a grid for tracking and a blank side for discussion. It rolls to wherever the team has gathered, locks steady, and the portrait shape fits a corner without crowding the room. |
| Meeting and Breakout Rooms | A compact meeting room suits a tall board that gives real writing height without a wide footprint. The swivel lets a group move from a blank brainstorm to a structured plan in one motion, and the board tucks aside on its castors afterwards. |
| Offices and Shared Workspaces | Shared offices value a board that serves different needs through the day and moves where it is wanted. One side handles quick notes and the other structured tracking, so the same board works for a scribbled message and an aligned schedule alike. |
Prefer Landscape, or a Bigger Board?
For a wider surface, the landscape version turns the same swivel board on its side. For more writing room, the larger swivel board brings the same dual surfaces in a bigger frame.

The Displaysense SW9012P is a Non-Magnetic Swivel Portrait Mobile Whiteboard. Double-sided dry-wipe board that rotates 360 degrees on its horizontal axis, one face plain and the reverse a feint grid, portrait orientation, on a fixed-height freestanding steel frame. Non-magnetic surface. Writing surface 900mm W x 1200mm H, overall width 1000mm. Stability bar and lockable castors, white finish, ghosting-resistant. 5-year surface guarantee. Best suited for schools, colleges, training centres and visual planning teams where sessions move between plain and gridded work. Also available as the landscape SW1290L and the larger landscape SW1512L. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
The swivel is what makes this a two-in-one board. It is mounted so the writing panel turns a full circle on a horizontal axis, which means a single flip brings whichever face you want to the front. Nothing has to be wheeled in or wiped off to make room for a different kind of work, since the alternative surface is always waiting on the other side. The motion is quick and controlled, so a teacher or presenter can switch mid-sentence and keep a whole session flowing rather than breaking it to reorganise the board.
The two faces are deliberately different because work comes in two forms. Open thinking, such as brainstorming, rough notes and freehand diagrams, suits a blank surface with nothing to constrain it. Structured work, such as timetables, charts, plans and anything that needs columns or alignment, is far easier on a ruled surface. One face is left blank and the other shows a feint grid, faint enough not to distract from writing but clear enough to keep content square and aligned. Having both on one board means neither type of work has to be forced onto the wrong surface.
Orientation changes how a board fits a room and how content reads on it. This board is portrait, taller than it is wide, which does two things. It offers plenty of upright writing room, well suited to lists, step-by-step sequences and flows that move down the surface, and it keeps the footprint narrow so the board slots into a tight wall space or a small corner where a wide board would be awkward. For rooms short on width but not on height, a portrait board makes far better use of the space available.
The frame and surface are built for shared, mobile use. The board stands on a freestanding steel frame with lockable castors, so one person rolls it between rooms and then locks the wheels to hold it steady, while a stability bar braces the base to keep the board firm during writing and turning. The writing face holds no magnets, cleaned with a dry cloth and an occasional whiteboard cleaner for heavier marks, and made to resist ghosting so it does not grey over time. Dry-wipe rather than permanent pens keep both faces clear, and a 5-year surface guarantee backs the board.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Writing Surface | 900mm (W) x 1200mm (H) per face | A tall portrait surface that gives plenty of upright writing height while still keeping a genuinely narrow footprint in the room it stands in. |

| Swivel | 360 degree rotation on horizontal axis | Flip between the plain and grid faces in a single quick motion, switching surfaces mid-session without swapping or wiping a board clean. |
| Height | Fixed height | The board sits at one set working level, which gives a stable, solid base for turning rather than any moving height adjustment. |
| Overall Width | 1000mm | A slim freestanding footprint that rolls through most standard doorways easily and suits a narrow or busy room well when it is relocated. |
| Surface Finish | Ghosting-resistant dry-wipe | Wipes back to a clean face without any grey shadowing at all, so the board still looks professional even after constant daily use. |
| Frame | Steel, freestanding | A sturdy steel frame that stands fully free with no wall fixing at all, so the board works well in rented, shared or changing rooms. |
| Stability | Stability bar | A stability bar braces the base of the frame, keeping the board steady during writing and turning rather than rocking or shifting about. |
| Mobility | Lockable castors | One person can roll the board between rooms unaided, then lock the wheels so it holds firm while it is in use and being turned around. |
| Guarantee | 5-year surface guarantee | The writing surface is backed for a full five years, giving you real long-term reassurance for a board in high-frequency daily use. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Swivel Whiteboard
Q: What is the best mobile whiteboard for switching between plain and gridded work?
A: A swivel board, like the SW9012P, is the best option for switching between plain and gridded work. The board rotates a full 360 degrees on its horizontal axis, so one face is plain and the reverse a feint grid. Both surfaces are non-magnetic dry-wipe, on a mobile frame with a 5-year guarantee.
Q: How does the 360 degree swivel work?
A: The writing panel is mounted to rotate a full 360 degrees on a horizontal axis. A single flip brings the plain face or the feint-grid face to the front, so a session switches surfaces in one motion. Nothing else has to be brought in or wiped off to change the type of content on show.
Q: What is the difference between the plain side and the grid side?
A: One face is plain for open writing, diagrams and brainstorming. The other side carries a feint grid, light lines that keep charts, plans and columns square and aligned without distracting from the writing. The plain side suits free work and the grid side suits structured work, with a flip switching between them.
Q: Is this whiteboard magnetic?
A: No. Both surfaces are non-magnetic dry-wipe, written on and erased with dry-wipe pens, so magnets will not hold on either face. The board is designed for writing rather than displaying printed material with magnets. If holding documents with magnets matters, a magnetic steel whiteboard is the better choice.
Q: Is this board suitable for schools and colleges?
A: Yes. Schools and colleges use it for teaching that switches between free explanation on the plain side and structured work on the grid side. The portrait shape suits worked examples and stepped sequences, and the board rolls between classrooms and locks in place for each lesson.
Q: Can one person move the board between rooms?
A: Yes. The board rolls on castors, so one person wheels it between rooms with no lifting and no wall fixing. The wheels then lock to hold it firm for writing, and a stability bar braces the steel frame so it stays steady during writing and turning. A foot release frees the castors again.
Q: What size is the writing surface?
A: 900mm wide by 1200mm high per face. The portrait format gives generous vertical writing height while keeping a narrow footprint, on a frame 1000mm wide overall. That suits tall content like lists and sequences, and slots into a slim space where a wide board would not go.
Q: What is the difference between this and the landscape SW1290L?
A: Both are non-magnetic swivel boards with a plain face and a feint-grid face, sized 900 by 1200mm. The SW9012P is portrait, taller than wide, for vertical content and narrow spaces. The landscape version is wider than tall, for side-by-side work. Choose portrait for height, or landscape for width.
Q: Is the board height adjustable?
A: No. The board is fixed height, giving a steady base for the 360 degree swivel instead of a moving height mechanism. The board sits at a set working height suited to standing use. The swivel, not the height, is what changes during a session, flipping between the plain and grid faces.
Q: Will the surface ghost, and how is it cleaned?
A: The dry-wipe surface resists ghosting, so it clears to a clean face instead of holding a grey trace. Wipe each side with a dry cloth or eraser after use, and use a whiteboard cleaner about once a week. Always use dry-wipe, never permanent, markers to protect both faces.
Q: Is this whiteboard available with free UK delivery and a guarantee?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery and the writing surface carries a 5-year guarantee. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, colleges and offices 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 or landscape version of this board?
A: Yes. The SW1290L is the same size in landscape, and the SW1512L is a larger 1500 by 1200mm landscape board, both with the same plain and feint-grid swivel surfaces. Choose this portrait board for vertical space, or a landscape board where the room has more width than height.
Guides for Choosing and Using Mobile Whiteboards
A mobile whiteboard works hardest when its orientation, surfaces and frame suit the room and the way a session runs. Knowing when a portrait or landscape board fits better, how a plain and gridded surface each earn their place and how to set up a space for flexible working all make a real difference. These guides cover choosing and using boards in schools and offices.

It is a portrait board, taller than it is wide, so it gives generous vertical writing space while taking up little floor in a narrow or busy room. The surface is non-magnetic dry-wipe, easy to clean and resistant to ghosting, and the board stands on a sturdy freestanding frame with lockable castors and a stability bar, so it rolls between rooms and locks firm for use. A 5-year surface guarantee backs it. Best suited for schools, training centres and planning teams where a session moves between free writing and structured, gridded work.
Why This Swivel Portrait Board Works for Sessions
- Flip between two surfaces in seconds: The board turns a full circle on its horizontal axis, so the plain side or the grid side comes to the front with a single flip. A session moves from open writing to structured work without pausing to wipe a surface clean or fetch a second board.
- Plain one side, feint grid the other: One face is plain for free notes, diagrams and brainstorming, and the reverse carries a subtle feint grid for charts, plans and aligned columns. Each kind of work gets the surface that suits it, rather than forcing gridded content onto a blank board or vice versa.
- Tall format for narrow spaces: A portrait shape gives plenty of vertical writing height while keeping a small footprint, so it fits a narrow wall space, a corner or a busy room where a wide board would not. It suits tall content like lists, flows and timelines that read naturally from top to bottom.
- Clean, hard-wearing surface: The non-magnetic dry-wipe face wipes back to clean and resists the ghosting that greys a cheaper board, so it stays clear and professional through constant daily writing. It is built for the frequent updates and note-taking a teaching or planning board sees.
- Mobile and steady from one frame: The board rolls between rooms on castors that lock, so one person moves it without lifting or wall fixing, and a stability bar braces the freestanding frame so it stays planted and firm while in use. Easy to reposition, solid to write and swivel against.
- Backed for five years: A 5-year surface guarantee stands behind the board, reflecting a build made for the high-frequency use of a school, college or training room. It is meant to keep performing for years of daily writing, flipping and repositioning rather than wearing out early.
Where a Swivel Portrait Board Fits Best
| Schools and Colleges | Teaching often switches between free explanation and structured work, so a board that flips from a plain side to a grid side keeps a lesson moving. The portrait height suits worked examples and step-by-step content, and the board wheels between classrooms as the timetable needs. |
| Training Centres and Workshops | A trainer can keep open notes on one face and a structured framework on the other, turning the board between them as a session develops. It rolls between training rooms, locks in place, and the tall surface keeps a whole sequence in view at once. |
| Visual Planning Teams | Planning work moves between loose ideas and aligned grids, which is exactly what the two surfaces handle. The feint grid keeps timelines and columns straight, the plain side takes the rough thinking, and a quick flip switches the team between the two. |
| Project and Agile Spaces | Spaces that run stand-ups and reviews benefit from a board that brings a grid for tracking and a blank side for discussion. It rolls to wherever the team has gathered, locks steady, and the portrait shape fits a corner without crowding the room. |
| Meeting and Breakout Rooms | A compact meeting room suits a tall board that gives real writing height without a wide footprint. The swivel lets a group move from a blank brainstorm to a structured plan in one motion, and the board tucks aside on its castors afterwards. |
| Offices and Shared Workspaces | Shared offices value a board that serves different needs through the day and moves where it is wanted. One side handles quick notes and the other structured tracking, so the same board works for a scribbled message and an aligned schedule alike. |
Prefer Landscape, or a Bigger Board?
For a wider surface, the landscape version turns the same swivel board on its side. For more writing room, the larger swivel board brings the same dual surfaces in a bigger frame.

The Displaysense SW9012P is a Non-Magnetic Swivel Portrait Mobile Whiteboard. Double-sided dry-wipe board that rotates 360 degrees on its horizontal axis, one face plain and the reverse a feint grid, portrait orientation, on a fixed-height freestanding steel frame. Non-magnetic surface. Writing surface 900mm W x 1200mm H, overall width 1000mm. Stability bar and lockable castors, white finish, ghosting-resistant. 5-year surface guarantee. Best suited for schools, colleges, training centres and visual planning teams where sessions move between plain and gridded work. Also available as the landscape SW1290L and the larger landscape SW1512L. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
The swivel is what makes this a two-in-one board. It is mounted so the writing panel turns a full circle on a horizontal axis, which means a single flip brings whichever face you want to the front. Nothing has to be wheeled in or wiped off to make room for a different kind of work, since the alternative surface is always waiting on the other side. The motion is quick and controlled, so a teacher or presenter can switch mid-sentence and keep a whole session flowing rather than breaking it to reorganise the board.
The two faces are deliberately different because work comes in two forms. Open thinking, such as brainstorming, rough notes and freehand diagrams, suits a blank surface with nothing to constrain it. Structured work, such as timetables, charts, plans and anything that needs columns or alignment, is far easier on a ruled surface. One face is left blank and the other shows a feint grid, faint enough not to distract from writing but clear enough to keep content square and aligned. Having both on one board means neither type of work has to be forced onto the wrong surface.
Orientation changes how a board fits a room and how content reads on it. This board is portrait, taller than it is wide, which does two things. It offers plenty of upright writing room, well suited to lists, step-by-step sequences and flows that move down the surface, and it keeps the footprint narrow so the board slots into a tight wall space or a small corner where a wide board would be awkward. For rooms short on width but not on height, a portrait board makes far better use of the space available.
The frame and surface are built for shared, mobile use. The board stands on a freestanding steel frame with lockable castors, so one person rolls it between rooms and then locks the wheels to hold it steady, while a stability bar braces the base to keep the board firm during writing and turning. The writing face holds no magnets, cleaned with a dry cloth and an occasional whiteboard cleaner for heavier marks, and made to resist ghosting so it does not grey over time. Dry-wipe rather than permanent pens keep both faces clear, and a 5-year surface guarantee backs the board.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Writing Surface | 900mm (W) x 1200mm (H) per face | A tall portrait surface that gives plenty of upright writing height while still keeping a genuinely narrow footprint in the room it stands in. |

| Surface Finish | Ghosting-resistant dry-wipe | Wipes back to a clean face without any grey shadowing at all, so the board still looks professional even after constant daily use. |
| Frame | Steel, freestanding | A sturdy steel frame that stands fully free with no wall fixing at all, so the board works well in rented, shared or changing rooms. |
| Stability | Stability bar | A stability bar braces the base of the frame, keeping the board steady during writing and turning rather than rocking or shifting about. |
| Mobility | Lockable castors | One person can roll the board between rooms unaided, then lock the wheels so it holds firm while it is in use and being turned around. |
| Guarantee | 5-year surface guarantee | The writing surface is backed for a full five years, giving you real long-term reassurance for a board in high-frequency daily use. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Swivel Whiteboard
Q: What is the best mobile whiteboard for switching between plain and gridded work?
A: A swivel board, like the SW9012P, is the best option for switching between plain and gridded work. The board rotates a full 360 degrees on its horizontal axis, so one face is plain and the reverse a feint grid. Both surfaces are non-magnetic dry-wipe, on a mobile frame with a 5-year guarantee.
Q: How does the 360 degree swivel work?
A: The writing panel is mounted to rotate a full 360 degrees on a horizontal axis. A single flip brings the plain face or the feint-grid face to the front, so a session switches surfaces in one motion. Nothing else has to be brought in or wiped off to change the type of content on show.
Q: What is the difference between the plain side and the grid side?
A: One face is plain for open writing, diagrams and brainstorming. The other side carries a feint grid, light lines that keep charts, plans and columns square and aligned without distracting from the writing. The plain side suits free work and the grid side suits structured work, with a flip switching between them.
Q: Is this whiteboard magnetic?
A: No. Both surfaces are non-magnetic dry-wipe, written on and erased with dry-wipe pens, so magnets will not hold on either face. The board is designed for writing rather than displaying printed material with magnets. If holding documents with magnets matters, a magnetic steel whiteboard is the better choice.
Q: Is this board suitable for schools and colleges?
A: Yes. Schools and colleges use it for teaching that switches between free explanation on the plain side and structured work on the grid side. The portrait shape suits worked examples and stepped sequences, and the board rolls between classrooms and locks in place for each lesson.
Q: Can one person move the board between rooms?
A: Yes. The board rolls on castors, so one person wheels it between rooms with no lifting and no wall fixing. The wheels then lock to hold it firm for writing, and a stability bar braces the steel frame so it stays steady during writing and turning. A foot release frees the castors again.
Q: What size is the writing surface?
A: 900mm wide by 1200mm high per face. The portrait format gives generous vertical writing height while keeping a narrow footprint, on a frame 1000mm wide overall. That suits tall content like lists and sequences, and slots into a slim space where a wide board would not go.
Q: What is the difference between this and the landscape SW1290L?
A: Both are non-magnetic swivel boards with a plain face and a feint-grid face, sized 900 by 1200mm. The SW9012P is portrait, taller than wide, for vertical content and narrow spaces. The landscape version is wider than tall, for side-by-side work. Choose portrait for height, or landscape for width.
Q: Is the board height adjustable?
A: No. The board is fixed height, giving a steady base for the 360 degree swivel instead of a moving height mechanism. The board sits at a set working height suited to standing use. The swivel, not the height, is what changes during a session, flipping between the plain and grid faces.
Q: Will the surface ghost, and how is it cleaned?
A: The dry-wipe surface resists ghosting, so it clears to a clean face instead of holding a grey trace. Wipe each side with a dry cloth or eraser after use, and use a whiteboard cleaner about once a week. Always use dry-wipe, never permanent, markers to protect both faces.
Q: Is this whiteboard available with free UK delivery and a guarantee?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery and the writing surface carries a 5-year guarantee. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, colleges and offices 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 or landscape version of this board?
A: Yes. The SW1290L is the same size in landscape, and the SW1512L is a larger 1500 by 1200mm landscape board, both with the same plain and feint-grid swivel surfaces. Choose this portrait board for vertical space, or a landscape board where the room has more width than height.
Guides for Choosing and Using Mobile Whiteboards
A mobile whiteboard works hardest when its orientation, surfaces and frame suit the room and the way a session runs. Knowing when a portrait or landscape board fits better, how a plain and gridded surface each earn their place and how to set up a space for flexible working all make a real difference. These guides cover choosing and using boards in schools and offices.
Overview
Two Writing Surfaces, One Quick Flip Apart
A session often needs two kinds of surface, an open space for free writing and a structured one for aligned, gridded work. The SW9012P puts both on one board and lets you switch between them in seconds. It rotates a full turn on its horizontal axis, so a flip of the board brings the plain side or the feint-grid side to the front without stopping to swap boards or rub anything out. The plain face suits open notes, diagrams and brainstorming, while the feint-grid reverse keeps charts, plans and columns neatly aligned. It is a portrait board, taller than it is wide, so it gives generous vertical writing space while taking up little floor in a narrow or busy room. The surface is non-magnetic dry-wipe, easy to clean and resistant to ghosting, and the board stands on a sturdy freestanding frame with lockable castors and a stability bar, so it rolls between rooms and locks firm for use. A 5-year surface guarantee backs it. Best suited for schools, training centres and planning teams where a session moves between free writing and structured, gridded work.
