How to Choose the Right Drywipe Board for Your Office

Drywipe boards (also known as whiteboards) are a staple in any modern workspace — from small home offices to large-scale meeting rooms, training centres and warehouses. They make it simple to plan, communicate, brainstorm and update information quickly. But with so many styles, sizes and features available, how do you choose the right one?

1. Consider the space and how it will be used

First, decide where the board will go. Is it in a small office, open-plan workspace, meeting room or warehouse wall? Measure the wall area so you know the maximum width and height. In a busy space where many people will use the board, it’s smarter to go larger so everyone can see the writing clearly.

2. Choose the right size

For a single user in a small office, a compact whiteboard is usually sufficient. If the board will be used by teams in meetings or for production planning, then choose a larger board. Bigger boards offer more space to write, draw diagrams or display schedules.

3. Magnetic vs non-magnetic options

Magnetic whiteboards allow you to use magnets to hold printouts, charts and notes — great for offices, schools and warehouses where visual displays change regularly. Non-magnetic boards tend to be simpler and less expensive, which is fine if you just need a plain writing surface.

4. Fixed mounting or mobile stand

Wall-mounted boards are ideal for sites where the board will stay in one place. However, if you need flexibility (e.g., in training rooms or open plan offices), a mobile board on wheels is a smart option. You can move it between rooms and adapt the space as needed.

5. Don’t forget the accessories

A great board is only as good as how you use it. Make sure you pick up drywipe markers, a good eraser or cleaning spray, and if using a magnetic board, some strong magnets. These extras keep the board writing well and looking clean over time.
