Quartet Board Accessories

Choose magnet strength according to the number, weight, and size of the materials being held. A small note needs far less holding force than a stack of paper, laminated sign, or heavy card. Product capacity may be stated using ordinary paper, so thicker or coated materials can change practical performance. Also consider how often items will be moved. Very strong magnets can be difficult to reposition and may trap fingers when placed close together. Test the magnet on the actual board because steel thickness and surface coatings affect holding power. Keep magnets away from devices or items that may be sensitive to magnetic fields. Select the smallest magnet that holds the material securely without making routine updates difficult.

Use markers intended for dry erase surfaces, erase writing regularly, and clean the board with a dedicated whiteboard cleaner rather than a general household spray. Old ink and residue become harder to remove when they remain on the surface for long periods. A clean microfiber cloth can help lift the loosened ink without scratching. For magnetic organisation, suitable board accessory magnets can hold notes without adding adhesive residue to the writing area. Replace heavily soiled erasers that spread ink instead of removing it. Always follow the care instructions for the board material because porcelain, melamine, painted steel, and glass can require different maintenance methods.

Replace an eraser when the face remains heavily discoloured after cleaning, leaves streaks, or transfers old ink back onto the board. A cloth should be washed or replaced when it no longer absorbs cleaner and residue effectively. Keeping several clean cloths available is useful in frequently used meeting areas. Do not wait until the board becomes difficult to read, since repeated rubbing with a dirty tool can spread residue across a larger area. Store cleaners upright and keep cloths dry between uses. For boards used only occasionally, clean them before extended storage so ink does not remain on the surface. A simple maintenance schedule helps preserve clear writing and reduces the need for aggressive cleaning later.

Easel pads provide disposable or repositionable writing sheets, while board accessories support reusable surfaces through cleaning, writing, mounting, or magnetic organisation. A meeting space may need both when some notes must remain visible after the board is cleared. The available easel pads and boards include plain, lined, grid, and self stick formats for different presentation methods. Choose pad size and attachment method according to the easel, then select board tools for the reusable surface. Keeping these supplies separate prevents adhesive sheets, unsuitable markers, or dirty erasers from being used on the wrong surface. The best setup reflects how information will be created, moved, retained, and shared after the session.
