What you need to keep in mind when using magnetic boards:

• When using neodymium magnets on the board, avoid having them get too close to each other. Or else, they could collide and break apart.
• Don’t slide the magnets directly over the surfaces of powder-coated, glass or slate magnetic boards, as this could cause scratches.
• On magnetic glass and slate boards, magnets can only reach a fraction of their power. You can find more information on this in the FAQ Which magnets are suitable for magnetic glass boards?.

Comment regarding the term magnetic board

Terms like “magnetic board”, “magnetic pinboard” or “magnet board” are not quite correct. They create the impression that the board itself has magnetic properties – and thus should stick, for example, to steel shelves. But that’s not the case, because it is only ferromagnetic. It means, that the board itself is not a magnet, but instead a suitable surface for magnets. However, because the term “magnetic board” is commonly accepted we are using it for our products too.

Diverse applications

We think that magnetic boards are quite useful. Not only because many items can be attached to them with the help of magnets. But mainly due to the fact that magnetic boards can be used in many different locations and for many different purposes. Below we will provide you with inspiration for magnetic board applications:

In the kitchen: Recipes, shopping list or menu plans can all be displayed on a magnetic board with the help of magnets. In addition, dish towels or cooking utensils can be hung on magnetic hooks. And if you want, even spice jars will find their place on it, thanks to self-adhesive magnetic film. Simply attach the self-adhesive film to the jar and they will stick to the board.

In the hallway: Here, to-do-lists, appointment reminders or shopping lists come into their own on magnetic boards. The same holds true for postcards, invitations and photos. And with the help of magnetic hooks, you can even hang up keys.

In the sitting room: Do you have many beautiful photos and can’t decide which one to hang up? On magnetic boards, you can change and hang different pictures and mementoes time and again.

In the children’s room: Children’s drawings, in particular, find a special place on magnetic boards and can also be changed time and again. Colourful magnets add to the charm of the board.

In the office: Magnetic boards work well as office memo boards, to note upcoming tasks and events. Whiteboards and whiteboard film, on the other hand, are great as Scrum or Kanban boards. Thanks to accessories such as board markers and magnetic symbols, they can be used for a wide variety of office applications.

DIY tips for customised magnetic boards

Magnetic boards made of sheet steel can be personalised and decorated with little effort. Use colourful washi tape, for example, to give your magnetic board a unique appearance. With the help of washi tape, you can also create a monthly calendar on a whiteboard, enabling you to continuously track appointments – without having to change the calendar at the end of the year. Those who want more colour for their magnetic board can use colourful fabrics. For this DIY project, attach carpet tape to the back of the magnetic board, then wrap the fabric around from front to back and press onto the carpet tape. And voila, you have created your own distinct magnetic board.

Design ideas with magnetic glass boards

Purple, green or turquoise – use a magnetic glass board to set colourful accents in a room. Place several of them in a row above your couch or on an empty wall and write on them with board markers, turning a magnetic glass memo board into an ever-changing personal piece of art.
These decorative items are also practical in the kitchen. Use them as a focal point and to write your shopping list, and with magnets, you can even attach matching coupons next to it. The durable boards are made of scratch-proof safety glass that can be wiped down easily, so they are ready for your next memo.
