A magnetic surface expands the use of whiteboards for presentations in classrooms, conference rooms and elsewhere. Magnetic whiteboards are popular, especially in schools, but in some situations a non-magnetic marker board might be sufficient for your needs — and be a lower-cost solution.
magnetic whiteboard Whiteboards are manufactured with a variety of materials used for the dry erase surface. The resulting products are melamine, porcelain, glass, or a proprietary surface such as the Boardline white surface. Not all can be magnetic.

Porcelain surfaces, which are baked onto a steel substrate, are magnetic.
Glass marker boards require an extra backing to make them magnetic.
Proprietary surfaces, which also are laminated over substrates, offer greater flexibility. EVERWhite applies its proprietary non-staining surface over 24-gauge steel for magnetic whiteboards, and over fiberboard for non-magnetic surfaces.

As mentioned above, make sure the magnets you use have smooth surfaces so the whiteboard surface is not scratched; a scratch can allow marker ink to penetrate the surface and that stain could be difficult to remove.
Some schools choose non-magnetic whiteboards for the back or side of classrooms, where reminders, homework assignments or other written notes are the only needed use of the board.
