Difference between magnetic and non-magnetic whiteboards

Whiteboards are simple tools used in classrooms and office conference rooms. They have a laminated white surface that allows you to easily write and wipe off content. While both magnetic and non-magnetic whiteboards share these basic qualities, there are a few key differences to consider.

Non-magnetic whiteboards, also known as dry wipe boards, are easy to clean and maintain. They do not attract magnets and are lightweight, making them portable and versatile. However, they lack the ability to hold magnetic accessories, limiting their functionality in presentations or as notice boards.

On the other hand, magnetic whiteboards have an additional feature that allows them to hold magnetic accessories such as markers, arrows, and sheets. They have a layer of metal beneath the whiteboard laminate, which adds weight but enhances durability. Magnetic whiteboards are a great choice if you want long-lasting boards that offer more flexibility in terms of presentation options.

When choosing between the two, consider your specific needs and audience. If you don't require magnetic features and often move the board, non-magnetic whiteboards are a cost-effective option. However, if you want a board that will last a long time and provide the option to use magnetic accessories, consider investing in a magnetic whiteboard. For ultimate durability, vitreous enamel boards are worth considering, as they often come with extended warranties of up to 20 years.
