Quartet Magnetic Board Accessories

Sheet capacity depends on magnet strength, paper weight, board construction, and whether the sheets are flat against the surface. A stated capacity based on ordinary paper may decrease with coated stock, cards, folded sheets, or laminated materials. Use more than one magnet for large notices or documents that curl at the corners. Test the setup in the actual location, especially where doors, fans, or frequent movement may disturb the material. Do not overload a small magnet simply because it remains attached during the first test. The contents should stay secure through normal use while remaining easy to remove. For important notices, place magnets near the upper corners so the paper does not sag or rotate.

Confirm that the writing surface is designed to accept magnets and inspect the magnet housing for rough edges that could scratch the finish. Keep grit and paper dust away from the contact area because trapped particles can mark the board when magnets are moved. General board accessories can provide suitable cleaning tools and organisers for maintaining the surface around magnetic displays. Avoid sliding a loaded magnet across the board when it can be lifted and repositioned instead. Also confirm that the accessory does not block trays, frames, or frequently used writing areas. Proper placement allows the board to remain useful for both writing and document display.

Writable magnetic pieces are useful when labels, assignments, dates, names, or priorities change regularly. They allow information to move without rewriting the entire board or applying disposable adhesive notes. Choose a surface that accepts the intended marker and erases cleanly. The shape and size should provide enough writing space while remaining easy to handle. Use consistent colours or shapes only when the meaning is documented, so other users can understand the system. Clean the pieces before storing them and keep them flat to prevent damage. For a permanent record, copy the final layout or transfer the information elsewhere before the pieces are moved. This keeps the board flexible without losing important decisions or schedules.

Magnetic accessories require a compatible steel based surface and will not attach directly to cork, fabric, glass, melamine, wood, or nonmagnetic whiteboards unless those products contain a suitable metal layer. Do not assume a board is magnetic because it accepts dry erase markers. Test it with a small magnet or confirm the specification. The broader range of boards and accessories can help identify other attachment methods when magnets are unsuitable, including pins, clips, holders, or purpose made mounting hardware. Avoid adding an unapproved metal sheet behind a board, as this can affect mounting, appearance, or safety. Choose accessories that match the actual surface construction and normal use.
