Whiteboard Buying Guide
We want to help answer all of your questions and find the right whiteboard for you
Create, Collaborate and Communicate
Whether you’re brainstorming ideas, explaining new concepts or organising and planning, Nobo whiteboards are powerful collaboration tools for groups in the work place, at home or in schools. From capturing thoughts to relaying action plans and displaying important messages effectively, whiteboards play a crucial role in the way we work, learn and interact with others.
Nobo whiteboards are available in various sizes and surfaces to suit any environment.
What Type of Whiteboard Best Suits Your Environment?
Secure
Nobo’s wall mounted whiteboards are ideal for locations where permanent, easy access to whiteboards is needed – providing visibility for everyone in the environment. Featuring a pen tray for convenient storage of whiteboard accessories, these boards are unobtrusive and perfect for areas where there is limited floor space.
Mobile
Able to be shared between teams and groups, Nobo’s mobile whiteboards and flipchart easels can easily be moved from one location to another, or stored when not in use. With convenient accessory storage and flipchart pads to extend your writing area, these highly adaptable whiteboards aid collaboration, creativity and innovation in any environment.
Multi-Functional
For ultimate flexibility, Nobo’s innovative Move & Meet Collaboration System is a 6-in-1 multifunctional whiteboard on wheels.
In total, the mobile base can accommodate up to four double-sided and portable magnetic whiteboards or notice boards. This provides teams with extensive writing and display areas making any place a work space.
Personal Use
From smaller wall-mounted whiteboards to notepad-style whiteboards that lie flat on any surface, Nobo’s range of desktop whiteboards can be used as small easels, writing pads or even reusable planners. Available in both glass and acrylic dry erase surfaces, their small size makes them an ideal solution for personal use.
How Often Will You Be Using Your Whiteboard?
An excellent option for heavy use is a quality glass whiteboard, widely regarded as the best all-round surface for erasability, durability and resistance to ghosting.
The unique qualities of glass make it an ideal whiteboard surface for both performance and longevity.
If you’re likely to be using your whiteboard every day, consider opting for an enamel whiteboard.
Their strong magnetic steel core and enamel coating provide a surface that offers a superior level of erasability and durability for frequent use.
For resistance not just to pen stains but also scratches, dents and other types of damage, a steel whiteboard surface is the ideal option.
The steel magnetic whiteboard surface delivers increased erasability for moderate use.
If you are likely to be using your new whiteboard less frequently, a melamine whiteboard offers a non-magnetic surface with good level of erasability for light use.
How Much Space Do You Have for Your Whiteboard?
Nobo’s larger whiteboards are ideal for offices and schools where there is plenty of wall space. The largest wall mounted whiteboard that Nobo offers is 1200mm x 2400mm and is ideal as a collaborative whiteboard for group settings.
Open space environments can also benefit from mobile whiteboards such as the Move & Meet Collaboration System, which can be easily moved within a space - providing a flexible solution.
Ranging from 900mm x 600mm to 1260mm x 710mm, Nobo’s medium whiteboards are ideal for use in the work place, at school or even at home. Designed to give users enough room to collaborate and share ideas while also not taking up too much wall space, these whiteboards are the ideal solution for most mid-sized environments.
Ranging up to 890x500mm, Nobo’s small whiteboards are ideal for personal use in the office or home environment.
There are a range of desktop whiteboards that are an ideal memo board for jotting down reminders, phone numbers and 'to do' lists.
What Type of Wall-Mounting Is Best for Your Environment?
The traditional through-corner wall mounting method provides safe and secure installation. The stylish corner caps conceal all fixings to keep the frame design seamless and the board flush to the wall.
The InvisaMount™ system makes installation effortless. This low-profile wall mounting system conceals fixings neatly behind the board to give a seamless floating effect.
