Whiteboard wallpaper is a type of wall covering material that has a surface similar to a traditional whiteboard. It is designed to be used as a writable and erasable surface, just like a whiteboard.
This means you can write on it with dry-erase markers and easily wipe off the markings when you no longer need them, allowing you to use your wall as a reusable writing or drawing space.
It can be used in a variety of settings, such as offices, classrooms, conference rooms, and even in homes as a creative and functional wall space.
One of the advantages of whiteboard wallpaper is that it can transform an entire wall into a writable surface, providing ample space for brainstorming, note-taking, drawing, or planning without the need for a physical whiteboard.
It's a versatile and practical solution for collaborative workspaces or for anyone who wants a writable surface in their environment.

Consider the surface you want to convert into a whiteboard, the aesthetics you desire, and how long you plan to use it when making your decision.

Roll sizes and coverage:
Whiteboard Wallpaper is sold on the roll in set widths. Therefore to work out how much material you need to cover a specific area, it's a little more complicated than just working out square meterage.
The main thing you need to know at this first stage. of the decision making, is whether you need more than one run of material to cover the desired space, as some options are suitable to install in sections to cover larger areas, and other options are not.
If the area you are looking to cover is over 1.2m wide, then you will need to butt together multiple strips of material, hanging vertically. For Example, if the area you want to cover is 2m high x 6m long, you will need to drops each 1m wide x 6m high.Surface Type & Finish
Magnetic Properties
All whiteboard wallpaper products are designed to be used with whiteboard marker pens. We always recommend using high quality markers to minimise staining and to keep your surface in good condition.
In addition to writeable functionality, many of our customers opt for the ability to attach notes to the surface using magnetic attachments. Check the table to make sure you are selecting the right product if you want this extra functionality. FlexiRoll is dry erase only, and you cannot attach magnets to the surface.
Gloss or Matt Finish
Most of the Whiteboard wallpaper products are a high gloss finish as this is the most appropriate surface for getting the best dry-erase functionality. The high gloss finish will wipe clean more easily than a matt finish.
However, in some cases, customers want to use the surface for projection mainly, and occasional writing. In these circumstances the FlexiProject, which has a more matt finish than FlexiStick, FlexiSheet or FlexiRoll, will be the best option. It is important to understand that the FlexiProject surface, although accepts whiteboard markers is more prone to staining than the other options, and will need more vigorous cleaning with whiteboard cleaning fluids to keep the surface in good condition. If your primary function is to write on and wipe off, we suggest avoiding the matt finish options.
Application Method
Some of the Whiteboard wallpaper are self-adhesive, and others need to be applied using a vinyl over vinyl adhesive.
With any whiteboard surfaces, preparation is key. It's important to apply the wallpaper to a smooth finish with as few imperfections as possible. Any lumps and bumbs will be amplified by the products high gloss finish. So before you apply any whiteboard wallpaper, sand, fill, sand and prime your surface until it is as smooth and bump free as possible. The more time you spend at the start, the better your final finish will be.
Self-adhesive versions are really quick and easy to apply. Once the surface is ready, simply peel off the back and stick! The self-adhesive products come with a contact adhesive that is very strong and will stick almost instantly. This means you only have one shot to get it right.
The FlexiSheet and FlexiRoll are applied using a vinyl over vinyl adhesive. You paste the adhesive onto the back of the roll and stick onto the surface like a more traditional wallpaper. This method can be more time consuming, but gives you the ability to apply the material in drops to cover larger areas. You have a small amount of wiggle room once the material is on the wall before the adhesive sets to make sure. the paper is straight and get out any bubbles or imperfections.
