Double-Sided Boards: Marker on One Side, Chalk on the Other
A double-sided board is not two boards bolted together. It is one frame with a white board surface on the front for marker writing and a chalk board surface on the back, so a room gets both writing types without a second wall or a second fixing.
Plusmark lists the Eco Premium Both Side Board in this category: non-magnetic, easy-to-clean surfaces in a premium aluminium anodised frame with ABS dual-tone edges, with quick wall-mount installation that allows horizontal or vertical hanging.
What the specification says
The catalog entry is short and worth reading literally, because each line answers a question buyers usually have to ask.
- 2-in-1 writing surface — marker on one side, chalk on the other
- Front: white board · Back: chalk board
- Non-magnetic surface, so neither side accepts magnets
- Easy-to-clean surfaces on both faces
- Premium aluminium anodised frame with ABS dual-tone edges
- Quick wall-mount installation, horizontal or vertical hanging
- Listed applications: offices, classrooms, home, restaurants and cafés
Where it is the right order
Rooms that teach with chalk and review with markers are the obvious case — a coaching centre that solves problems on chalk and annotates a printed sheet with a marker, or a school block where some teachers still prefer chalk and others do not.
Homes and small offices are the other common case: one board serves a study corner and a planning surface, and the chalk side takes a menu or a note in a café. Restaurants and cafés appear in the catalog applications for exactly that reason.
It is also the answer where wall area is limited. Two boards side by side need two clear walls; one double-sided board needs one, or a stand.
Where two separate boards still win
If both writing types are used at the same time by two people, one board cannot serve both — you need two surfaces facing two directions permanently, which means two boards.
If you need magnets on either surface, a double-sided board will not do it: the listed surface is non-magnetic. For magnetic use, order from the magnetic white board or magnetic chalk board range instead.
Wall-mounted or on a stand
Because installation allows horizontal or vertical hanging, a wall-mounted double-sided board can be oriented to the wall it has. On a revolving stand the same board turns over on its axis, so both surfaces stay usable without anyone lifting or re-hanging it — which is how most institutions get full value out of the 2-in-1 design.
Sizes for the Eco Premium Both Side Board run through the standard range, from 1 × 1 ft up to 3 × 4 ft. Send the size, the quantity and whether you want wall mounting or a stand through the enquiry form.
Questions on this topic
- Is a double-sided board magnetic?
- No. The Plusmark double-sided board is listed with a non-magnetic surface on both faces. For magnetic use, the magnetic white board and magnetic chalk board ranges use resin coated steel surfaces that accept magnets.
- Can a double-sided board be hung vertically?
- Yes. The catalog notes quick wall-mount installation that allows horizontal or vertical hanging, so the orientation can suit the wall available.
