Whiteboard mounted level and secure - from small home office boards to large meeting room installations. Properly fixed with heavy-duty fittings, ready for immediate use.
The Office Essential
Brainstorming. Planning. Explaining things visually. A proper whiteboard beats laptops and tablets for collaborative thinking - but only if it's mounted properly and not wobbling around.
💡 Pro tip: Whiteboards are much heavier than they look, especially magnetic or porcelain-coated ones. The fixings matter more than the board itself - cheap fixings and they'll pull out of the wall.

Mounted perfectly level
Heavy-duty fixings for large boards

What to Expect
Step 1: Position Planning
We agree on height (typically center about 1.5m from floor for standing use) and position. Multiple boards get spaced evenly.
Step 2: Secure Mounting
Heavy-duty wall fixings go in - into studs where possible, or serious cavity anchors rated for the weight. Whiteboards need proper fixings.
Step 3: Hang & Finish
Board hangs on the fixings, I check it's level and solid, fit pen tray and any end caps/accessories that came with it.
🔧 DIY Tips
Whiteboard mounting needs heavy-duty approach:
🔧 Tools needed
- Stud finder (highly recommended)
- Drill with masonry bits
- Spirit level (long one!)
- Someone to help (boards are awkward)
- Heavy-duty fixings
🔩 Critical fixings
- Find wall studs if possible
- Use heavy-duty frame fixings or cavity anchors
- Each fixing point should handle 10kg minimum
- Don't use basic plastic plugs
📏 Getting level
- Mark center line of where board will go
- Measure equal distances each side for mounting points
- Check with spirit level
- Test board position before final fixing
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Inadequate fixings (board falls off)
- Not checking for studs
- Too high for comfortable use
- Not level (obvious when writing on it)
💡 Pro trick: If mounting to plasterboard without studs, space fixings evenly across the board width and use toggle bolts or metal cavity anchors rated for 20kg+ each. Better to over-engineer than have it fall.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🏢 Office fit-out? Multiple meeting rooms, training rooms, offices? I can do a whole building's worth of whiteboards in a day or two. More efficient than room by room.
Glass boards: Toughened glass whiteboards are the premium option but extremely heavy (40kg+). Need very serious fixings - I'd recommend going into studs or solid wall only.
Height positioning: Standing use = center at 1.5m. Seated use (desk/table height) = center at 1.2m. Think about how it'll be used.
Exeter's older buildings: Those thick walls are brilliant for whiteboards - rock solid once you're through the plaster. Much better than modern stud walls for heavy boards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you mount large office whiteboards?
Yes - even the big 2.4m wide ones. Large whiteboards are heavy (metal/porcelain backing), so proper wall fixings are essential. I use heavy-duty fixings rated for the weight.
What about magnetic whiteboards?
Magnetic whiteboards have steel backing so they're heavier than basic boards. Need better fixings, but the process is the same. I account for the extra weight.
Can you fit the pen tray and accessories?
Yes - if your board came with pen tray, end caps, or other accessories, I'll fit them all. Part of the service.
What if I need multiple boards side by side?
That's common in offices - two or three boards across one wall. I mount them all level to each other and at consistent spacing. Looks much more professional.
How long does a large board take?
Standard office whiteboard (1.2-1.8m wide) usually 30-45 minutes. Larger boards or multiple boards take longer - maybe 1-1.5 hours for a full wall setup.
