How To Make a Whiteboard Magnetic
If you've ever found yourself wishing that your whiteboard could do more—like hold magnetic accessories or sticky notes—then you're in the right place. In this blog post, we're exploring the many benefits of magnetic whiteboards and showing you different ways to turn your standard whiteboard or even an entire wall into a magnetic masterpiece. Let's dive in!
Benefits of Magnetic Whiteboards
Why use a magnetic whiteboard? Having a magnetized whiteboard offers many benefits, regardless of where you're using it.
-
Multifunctionality: Write, draw, and attach magnetic notes all on the same board. This makes it a versatile tool for planning, brainstorming, and organizing.
-
Enhanced Learning: Magnetic whiteboards offer interactive experiences in classrooms. Teachers can use magnetic letters, shapes, or any other learning aids to improve the teaching process.
-
Space-Efficient: Attach papers, notes, or even small supplies directly onto the board, reducing the need for extra storage space.
-
Interactive Presentations: Turn presentations into interactive discussions by allowing team members to attach supplementary documents or notes.
-
Versatility: They're not just for the classroom or office. Magnetic whiteboards can be useful in various settings like workshops, dorm rooms, and even at home.
How To Magnetize a Non-Magnetic Whiteboard
Transforming a standard, non-magnetic whiteboard into a magnetic one can be surprisingly easy. Here are some options:
-
Magnetic Paint: Apply a layer of magnetic primer paint over your existing whiteboard. After it dries, you can paint over it with standard whiteboard paint. However, the magnetic strength may vary.
-
Sheet Magnet: Attach a thin sheet of flexible magnet to the surface of the existing whiteboard. Make sure it adheres well so it lies flat.
-
Magnetic Stickers: These are small magnetic pieces that you can stick directly onto the board. They won't make the entire board magnetic but can hold up notes or small items.
-
Magnetic Overlay: This is a magnetic sheet that can be placed over your existing board. It offers the advantage of being easily removable.
-
Adhesive Magnetic Strips: Place these strips on the back of the board to turn it into a magnetic surface. However, this works best for small, lightweight items.
Whiteboard and Chalkboard Resurfacing
One of the easiest ways to turn your old whiteboard or chalkboard into a magnetic surface is to have it resurfaced. Luckily, Think Board offers whiteboard and chalkboard resurfacing via our peel-and-stick overlays.
Resurfacing is an affordable, simple way to transform your teaching, learning, or working space for the better. Not only can it improve your organization and save you space, but it can also improve air quality and reduce asbestos concerns in older school or office buildings.
In short, resurfacing your existing whiteboards or chalkboards comes with numerous benefits you'll be reaping for years to come.
