Essential Buying Considerations
Board Size and Magnet Strength
- Measure available wall space—allow extra for visibility from all stations.
- Consider foot traffic—larger kitchens need bigger boards visible from distance.
- Match magnet strength to usage—order tickets need stronger grip than memos.
Environment and Mounting
- Choose stainless steel for high-humidity kitchens—prevents warping.
- Ensure sturdy wall mounting—boards with orders become staff focal points.
- Consider magnetic document holders for laminated rotation schedules or menu specs.
How Commercial Magnets & Magnetic Boards Work
These clever systems rely on the fundamental principle of magnetism but cranked up for commercial environments. Commercial magnetic boards feature a high-grade ferrous metal backing beneath a usually white-coated or stainless steel surface, creating a receptive area for magnets. The professional-grade magnets themselves contain powerful neodymium cores rather than basic ferrite found in home versions, providing holding strength up to 10kg in some models. When applied to the board, they create a strong magnetic field that grips paper firmly—even in steamy kitchens or busy offices. With proper installation at eye level, these systems transform into command centres for orders, rotas, or important notices that stay exactly where you put them!

"Magnetic boards aren’t just for scribbling notes—they’re a sleek, space-saving way to keep your kitchen or office organised and on point. Go for strong commercial-grade magnets so your menus, rotas, or reminders don’t end up on the floor mid-service!"
Safety Guidelines
- Regular Inspection Check board mountings monthly—prevents accidents.
- Keep Away From Electronics Strong magnets can damage cards and devices.
- Handle With Care Powerful magnets can pinch fingers if snapped together.
- Secure Installation Use proper wall fixings—prevents board collapse.
- Store Safely Keep loose magnets away from children and electronics.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Magnets & Magnetic Boards
For maximum efficiency, position your magnetic board at eye level where all staff can see it without straining. Develop a consistent system—perhaps colour-coded magnets for different order types or kitchen stations. Clean the board weekly with a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could damage the magnetic surface. Keep spare magnets in a dedicated spot using magnetic document holders so they don't go walkabout. And reinforce your most used areas with additional magnetic strips if you notice the surface losing strength after years of use.
