Magnetic glass whiteboards are becoming an increasingly common sight in offices. However, they can cost a bit more than traditional whiteboards. What are the advantages of using them, and are they worth the extra expense?

Multi-functional

A magnetic glass whiteboard can have several different functions. Most offices have a surface for writing and drawing on, and a glass whiteboard serves this function admirably, allowing both text and graphics to be drawn directly upon the surface. However, their magnetic qualities mean they can be used as a pinboard as well. Pictures, post-it notes, printouts and other documents can easily be fixed on to the board magnetically, without causing damage from pins or tacks. This versatility means that the boards can promote creativity within your organisation and serve a variety of purposes.

Erasable

Sometimes a whiteboard won't fully erase, leaving faint marks behind. This can make new writing harder to read and will also make it look grubby and old, as well as leading to problems if the information was confidential. A glass whiteboard won't have this problem as it will not have the slightly porous quality of an ordinary one, and the writing will clean off fully.

Strong

Glass whiteboards are made from tempered glass that is many times stronger than ordinary glass. This means there is no danger of accidents; the glass will also not scratch or crack. You will not have to worry about whether you are pressing too much on the glass. They are therefore highly durable and long-lasting; once you have installed one, you should not find yourself having to pay for a replacement a few years later.

Customisable

As the board will last for a long time, it makes sense to stamp your business's identity upon it. They can be designed with your company colours and logo or any other design you choose, either by back-painting the board or by etching a design into the surface. The board will be the focal point of your office, and so by putting a little thought into its design, you can make it an integral part of your business's look and brand, and give your office a distinctive look.

Although a magnetic glass whiteboard may be more expensive than a traditional whiteboard, it will pay for itself with its durability and the ease with which it can be cleaned. You will wonder how you ever did without one. For more information, contact a magnetic glass whiteboard supplier.
