Dry Erase Whiteboards Buying Guide
Dry erase boards can be a useful teaching aid, so picking the right one is important.
Magnetic vs. Melamine
Magnetic Dry Erase Whiteboards typically feature an extremely durable porcelain coating on a steel substrate. They stand up well to heavy daily use, resist scratching, clean well and allow you to use magnetic letters in your lessons or post papers using “refrigerator” magnets. Porcelain-on-steel boards cost more, but with guarantees of up to 50 years, they also tend to be your best value.

Melamine boards typically feature a melamine writing surface on a hardboard substrate. The writing surface is clear coated, which is what makes the melamine erasable. Melamine boards are better suited to lighter use situations where the need to erase is less frequent (a cafeteria menu board, for example). Melamine markerboards are not magnetic. They tend to cost less than magnetic boards but don’t stand up to heavy use as long, either. A typical warranty for a melamine board is five years.
Fixed or Mobile
Classrooms typically have fixed dry erase boards mounted to the walls, but in situations where you need to move a board from room to room or from one place to another in a room, consider a mobile board. They’re available with or without wheels, and most are reversible so they’re doubly useful. Choose a two-sided markerboard, a makerboard/cork board combo, or a markerboard on one side with a chalk board on the other.
Framed or Unframed
Dry erase boards are not designed to be hung without a frame.

Caring For Dry Erase Whiteboards
Proper care of your whiteboard is essential for long life.
Magnetic boards need little special maintenance. Melamine boards, on the other hand, require a little more work. They should be carefully cleaned using approved solutions, and marker ink should not be left on the writing surface for long periods. Dirty erasers should be replaced.
On either type of board, use only approved dry erase board pens and accessories. Never use permanent marker or other writing tools. If you accidentally write in permanent marker, a professional cleaning product may remove it. Writing over what you’ve written in dry erase marker will help “pick up” the permanent marker.
Remember, even a quality melamine dry erase board will eventually “ghost” as the clear coating on its writing surface wears away. Ghosting is the marker image left on the board’s surface after cleaning. To avoid ghosting, we recommend that you consider a magnetic, porcelain-on-steel board.
