Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia HS806 is a brilliant bit of kit for its sheer simplicity and effectiveness. In any service environment, clear communication is paramount, and this board delivers.

- Top Marks for Versatility: The magnetic and wipe-clean combo is genuinely useful for dynamic menus.
- Heads Up on Pens: Requires liquid chalk markers, as standard dry-wipe pens won't show up well.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a busy tearoom in York, was struggling with handwritten notes for their 'Cake of the Day', which often looked messy and got damaged. They needed a more permanent and professional solution that could be updated daily.
"The Olympia board immediately smartened up our counter. It's so easy to update, and customers can see the specials at a glance. It's a small change that has made our service smoother and look far more put-together."
David Chen – Owner, The Copper Kettle
Since installing the board, the team has noticed a significant reduction in customer questions about daily specials, allowing staff to focus more on taking orders and serving.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Choose a visible, well-lit location at a comfortable eye-level for staff or customers.
- Use a spirit level during installation to ensure the board is perfectly straight for a professional look.
- The included fittings are suitable for most standard walls, but for plasterboard, consider using specific plasterboard plugs for a more secure fit.
- Decide whether you want to hang it portrait (tall) or landscape (wide) before you start drilling.
Keeping It Going
- Only use liquid chalk markers for the best visibility and to avoid damaging the surface.
- Clean the board regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a small amount of non-abrasive cleaner is fine.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical solvents as they can scratch or dull the black finish.
- Wipe away messages fully before writing new ones to prevent 'ghosting' or residue build-up over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of pens work best on this board?
A: For the best results and visibility on the black surface, we strongly recommend using liquid chalk markers. Standard dry-wipe markers will not show up well.
Q: Is it easy to clean?
A: Yes, very. A simple wipe with a damp, soft cloth is usually all that's needed. The surface is designed to resist staining and 'ghosting' from liquid chalk pens.
Q: Can I use any type of magnet on it?
A: Absolutely. Standard fridge magnets or any small office magnets will work perfectly to hold up paper, photos, or laminated sheets.
Q: Can the board be mounted in a landscape (horizontal) orientation?
A: Yes, the simple frame design and fixings allow you to mount it either portrait (vertically) or landscape (horizontally) to suit your space and needs.
Q: How heavy is the board?
A: It's relatively lightweight thanks to its aluminium frame, making it easy for one person to handle and install safely.
Q: Does it come with a pen or a pen tray?
A: The board includes wall fixings but does not come with pens or a pen tray, allowing you to choose the accessories that best suit your needs.
Q: How durable is the aluminium frame?
A: The frame is designed for commercial use, meaning it's robust enough to handle the knocks and bumps of a busy environment without denting or warping easily.
Q: Is the surface prone to scratching?
A: The surface is tough, but to keep it looking its best, avoid using sharp objects or abrasive cleaning pads on it.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy a Magnetic Surface is More Useful Than You Think
We all know what a wipe-clean board is, but the 'magnetic' part of this Olympia black display board is where the real magic happens for a busy business. It turns a simple noticeboard into a flexible information hub. Think of it like a pinboard and a whiteboard combined, but without the messy pins or ugly holes.
This means you're not just limited to what you can write. Need to display a printed menu from head office, a laminated allergen chart, or even a photo of a new dish? Just use a couple of small magnets. For a café, you could write the 'Soup of the Day' but magnetically attach a printed flyer for your new loyalty scheme right beside it. This dual functionality means the board adapts to your needs, whether they're spontaneous updates or more permanent displays.
Who Should Buy This?
- Cafés and Bistros: Perfect for displaying daily specials, coffee promotions, or your Wi-Fi password in style.
- Restaurant Kitchens: An essential for displaying allergen charts, staff rotas, or important health and safety notices.
- Office & Staff Rooms: A professional way to share team targets, announcements, or schedules in a communal area.
- Community Centres & Pubs: Ideal for advertising upcoming events, pub quiz nights, or displaying community information clearly.
