Whiteboards > Made in USA

This category covers the full range of dry-erase writing surfaces: wall-mount fixed boards, mobile double-sided boards on casters, and sliding rail multi-panel systems. Surface options run from painted steel at the entry level, to porcelain enamel on steel for a high-end, magnetic, ghost-free build, to glass for a contemporary look with rare-earth magnets. Browse whiteboards to compare sizes and surface types side by side before you decide which one earns a spot on your wall for the long haul, and match the surface tier to how hard your room actually uses it.

Standard sizes run 24 by 36 inches, 36 by 48 inches, 48 by 72 inches, and 48 by 96 inches. The 48 by 72 and 48 by 96-inch boards are the go-to grab for conference rooms and training spaces, while the smaller 24 by 36 and 36 by 48-inch boards fit private offices and huddle rooms well. Measure the wall space you have and think about how many people will be reading from the farthest seat. Size up if it fits the wall and your budget allows.

Painted steel boards are the budget grab: a functional dry-erase surface, weakly magnetic, and fine for light or occasional use. The downside is ghosting over time, since marker residue builds up in the coating and never fully erases. Porcelain enamel on steel is the step-up: fully magnetic, virtually ghost-free even after years of daily use, and it comes with a lifetime surface warranty on most commercial models. If the board is going in a conference room that sees daily use, go porcelain and you will not regret the upgrade.

Glass whiteboards are the high-end option, with a writing surface made from tempered glass that gives you a sleek frameless look and no marker tray in sight. They use rare-earth magnets, far stronger than steel-board magnets, erase completely without ghosting, and look sharp in executive conference rooms. The trade-off is cost, since glass runs well above porcelain, plus the glass is heavy and needs careful wall-mounting. If the look matters and your budget allows, glass earns its place on the wall.

Most wall-mount whiteboards include an aluminum frame with a built-in marker tray. Accessories like eraser holders, accessory hooks, and map rails are available as add-ons on most commercial series. If you want a combination board with a cork tack surface alongside the dry-erase zone, that is a separate product category, since combination boards give you both surfaces in one unit for pinning notes and writing side by side. Check the accessory options on the product page before you order if you need more than the basic board for your room.

Wall-mounts are the right grab for dedicated conference rooms and classrooms where the board stays put. Mobile double-sided boards on locking casters make sense when the board needs to travel between rooms, serve as a room divider, or give you two writing surfaces in one unit. The reversible double-sided mobile board is especially useful in training settings where you fill one side while the other stays visible to the room. Lock the casters while writing so the board does not roll out from under the marker.

Most commercial wall-mount whiteboards use keyhole or cleat hardware on the back. Hang the mounting bracket on wall studs or masonry anchors first, then drop the board onto the bracket. The product page lists the mounting hardware and recommended anchor spacing for your model. Mounting height is a judgment call, but a common starting point is 36 to 42 inches from the floor to the bottom edge, which keeps the writing surface comfortable for standing users while staying visible from seated positions.

No practical difference. The terms get used interchangeably across the industry, and both describe a dry-erase writing surface that erases with a standard felt eraser or cloth. Some manufacturers use "markerboard" as the product name and "whiteboard" as the category name, but they are the same product either way you order it. If the product page you are browsing says "dry-erase markerboard," you are looking at a whiteboard, plain and simple, so do not let the naming slow down your decision or make you second-guess the purchase.

Porcelain enamel boards carry a lifetime surface warranty from most major manufacturers. We back every whiteboard you buy with a Free Lifetime Warranty unless specifically noted, covering the surface, the aluminum frame, the marker tray, and the mounting hardware. For a board headed into a busy conference room, that is real coverage against the daily grind of markers, erasers, and cleaning agents wearing on the surface over years of heavy use, and it means you are never stuck paying out of pocket for a worn frame or bracket.

For wheelchair users, mount the board so the bottom edge lands between 15 and 48 inches off the floor, putting the lower writing zone within the ADA forward-reach range. A 48 by 72-inch board mounted at 36 inches from the floor to the bottom edge puts the bottom two-thirds of the board in accessible writing range. Mobile whiteboards give you more flexibility since you can tilt or reposition them for accessible programs. Leave 36 inches of clear aisle in front of the board for wheelchair approach.
