Ready to ShipThere are several types of acrylic dry-erase boards, each designed for specific needs and preferences. These boards come in various shapes and sizes, including wall-mounted boards, portable boards, and boards with frames or without frames. A few of these types are as follows:
Standard acrylic dry-erase boards
The most basic type of acrylic whiteboard is a simple one that is used for erasing things. It is an acrylic sheet that has been made for writing and erasing. It can be fixed on a wall or on a stand for portability. It is often used in different places, including homes, schools, and businesses. It is liked because it is light and hard.
Framed acrylic boards
Some acrylic boards have a frame around the edges. These frames make the board look nicer and help hold it in place. The frame can be made of metal, wood, or another kind of material. Framed boards are often used in offices or meeting rooms where they want the board to look neat and professional.
Backlit acrylic boards
Some acrylic boards can light up from behind. These boards offer writing space and act as a light. People often use backlit boards as displays in stores or as decorations in houses. Backlighting makes things glow and look really cool, making ordinary boards into special features for homes and businesses.
Magnetic acrylic boards
Certain acrylic boards can hold magnets because they have a special layer beneath the surface. Users can attach items such as magnets, papers, or pictures right onto the board. Magnetic boards are often placed in offices, schools, and other areas where people need to quickly pin things for organizing or sharing information.
Framed acrylic boards
Framed acrylic boards have a frame around them. This frame can be made from materials like wood, aluminum, or plastic. The frame helps to define the board's edges and gives it a polished look. When choosing a framed board, the frame style and color should match the room or space's overall design. For instance, a wooden frame can add warmth to a room, while an aluminum frame provides a more modern, clean appearance.
Frameless acrylic boards
Frameless acrylic boards have an edge that is polished. These boards have no frame around the edges. This gives the board a simple and clean look. It looks like the board is floating on the wall. Frameless boards are great for a modern style. They blend nicely with walls and other things. The no-frame style is popular for homes, offices, or other places that want a sleek, new look.
Colored borders and frames
Some acrylic boards have frames or borders in other colors, not just black or silver. This allows users to pick a frame color that matches their room or style. Bright frames like red or blue can make the board stand out and look stylish. More neutral colors like beige or gray offer a calmer feel. Customizing the frame color can help make the board fit in perfectly with the design of the space.
Decorative elements
People can add things like pictures, patterns, or special words to personalize boards. Adhesives make these additions easy to attach. Adding personal touches can make a board feel cozy instead of stiff. Users can also pick from popular designs or work with an artist to create custom designs. Special details will help each board stand out.
Shapes beyond rectangle
Boards do not always have to be rectangular. Some boards come in special shapes like circles, ovals, or even customized outlines. Unique shapes can make a space feel more dynamic and less ordinary. For instance, a circular board might soften the look of a room, while an angular shape could create a more contemporary feel. Custom-shaped boards are particularly useful for niches or specific design requirements in a space.

Size options
Acrylic boards come in various sizes. Smaller boards might be 16 by 24 inches, while larger ones can be 4 by 8 feet or more. Some stores also cut the board to a custom size as needed. This means users can find the right size for their space.
Thickness
The thickness of acrylic boards varies, too. Most are between 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch thick. The shop will select a thicker board for larger displays. Thicker boards provide extra strength and durability, especially for frequent use. This makes the board long-lasting.
Installation hardware
Completing a dry-erase board, an optional mounting kit can be used to hang it. This kit typically includes brackets, screws, and wall anchors. The brackets attach to the back of the board and fasten it securely to the wall. The board will sit about half an inch away from the wall with the brackets.). The screws go into the wall to hold everything in place. This hardware makes hanging the board easy and ensures it's level and sturdy on the wall.
Rail system
Another way acrylic boards mount is with a rail system. A top and bottom rail hold the board in between. These rails snap or slide onto the board's edges, securing it without a lot of small hardware showing. It makes swapping boards or removing them simple, too. Users like this system because it's quick to change if needed.
Maintenance tips
To keep boards looking new, it is important to wash them right. Use a soft, moist cloth to wipe the board. Don't use rough things that could scratch it. Don't let things like ink or dry eraser dust sit too long on the board - clean it off daily to keep it fresh. It is also good to use cleaners made for dry-erase boards if needed. They help remove tough marks, so the writing surface stays clear. Clean the board often to keep helping it last longer.
Avoiding damage
Avoid putting hot or sharp items on the board. Be careful with things like knives or hot cups that could melt or scratch the acrylic. It is best to keep these types of things away from the board to protect its clear surface. Also, avoid using permanent markers on the board. Permanent ink is hard to remove and will ruin the board. Always use dry-erase markers made for board.
A1. Acrylic boards themselves do not hold magnets because the plastic won't attract metal like steel or iron. However, some boards have a special magnetic layer behind the acrylic. This lets them hold magnets for things like notes or pictures. You would need to make sure to get one of these magnetic boards since most simple acrylic boards won't stick to magnets by themselves.
A2. It is best to use a gentle, non-abrasive acrylic cleaner on the board to keep it looking clear and free of scratches. Avoid harsh chemicals or rough wipes that could damage the board's smooth surface. A soft, damp cloth and a little of that special acrylic cleaner will help remove dirt and fingerprints while protecting the board's shine. Also, make sure to use a dry-erase board cleaner so the dry-erase board will stay in proper shape.
A3. Permanent marker is tough to remove from dry-erase boards, so it is very important to always use dry-erase markers. If someone accidentally uses a permanent marker, put some rubbing alcohol or dry-erase board cleaner on a soft cloth and try to wipe it off right away. If the ink won't come off, they could try drawing over the permanent marker lines with a regular dry-erase marker. After that, wiping the board again might get both inks to blend away. The best solution is to avoid putting the permanent marker on the board in the first place.
A4. Yes, acrylic whiteboards boards can go outside, but the outdoor weather may yellow the board over time. Protected under a covering, the board could last longer while still being useful for outdoor activities. Sun, wind, and rain will wear down the board, so a roof over it will keep it helpful outside. It probably is best to put the board in a more sheltered place.
A5. Yes, but the mounting screws need to attach to something sturdy behind the plasterboard, like a wooden beam or metal channel. It won't hold securely just to the drywall itself. The screws have to bite into the underlying support for the board to stay safe and strong, especially if it is a bigger board.
