A whiteboard is standard kit in classrooms, boardrooms, factories and training rooms, and choosing the right surface makes a big difference to how long it lasts. StationerySupplies.co.za is a free quote service. You fill in one form with the boards, sizes, stands, markers and installation you need, and independent local suppliers quote you directly. We do not sell, stock, deliver or install anything ourselves, and there is no fee or obligation to accept a quote. Tell us the room, the sizes and how many boards you need.
Whiteboard surfaces: melamine, magnetic steel or glass
The surface sets the price and the lifespan:
- Melamine: the lowest cost option for light use, but it can stain and ghost over time
- Magnetic whiteboard (steel): a lacquered or enamelled steel surface that holds magnets and wipes clean for years; ceramic steel suits heavy school use
- Glass: tempered glass boards that never ghost and look smart in boardrooms
Common sizes run from small boards for kitchens and offices up to 2400 mm wide for classrooms. Give the wall space you have.
Frames are usually aluminium with a marker tray along the bottom edge. Some classroom boards come with hinged side wings or lined and squared sections for handwriting and maths. If the board will be used in direct sunlight, ask about glare, because a matt surface can be easier to read than a high-gloss one.
Whiteboard on stand, notice boards and flip charts
A whiteboard on stand or mobile board moves between rooms and can be double-sided. Related items suppliers quote on include:
- Notice boards: cork, felt and pin boards, framed or with locking glass doors
- Flip chart stands: with pads of flip chart paper for training
- Planners: year planners and magnetic strips for production boards
Order whiteboard and markers together, with erasers and cleaning spray. Our pens and markers page covers marker options.
Interactive whiteboards and smart boards
An interactive whiteboard or smart board is a large touch screen or projector system that lets teachers and presenters write over digital content. Schools and universities often buy them through formal procurement, sometimes with training and a maintenance plan. Ask about screen size, warranty, software, mounting and power, and whether the quote includes installation and training. For government or school purchasing processes, see our stationery tenders page.
Whiteboard price, installation and delivery
The whiteboard price depends on surface, size, frame and accessories, so compare quotes on the same specification. Large boards need careful delivery and wall fixing, especially on drywall, so ask whether installation is included. Check whether quotes include 15% VAT and delivery, and whether you pay by EFT or on account. Schools should order before the January term starts. See also office furniture for fitting out a room.
