Class whiteboards commonly come in standard sizes, with the most prevalent dimensions being 4x6 feet and 4x8 feet. However, custom sizes and other options, such as 5-foot-tall boards, are also available.
According to EverWhite, the most commonly used whiteboards in schools are 4×6 and 4×8 feet. These sizes refer to the dimensions:
- 4×6 feet: 4 feet high by 6 feet wide
- 4×8 feet: 4 feet high by 8 feet wide
Common Classroom Whiteboard Sizes
These standard sizes are popular due to their practicality for typical classroom walls and visibility for students.
Size (Feet) | Height (Feet) | Width (Feet) | Common Use |
---|---|---|---|
4x6 | 4 | 6 | Standard classroom |
4x8 | 4 | 8 | Larger classroom, more writing space |
Other Whiteboard Size Options
Beyond the standard dimensions, classrooms can also utilize:
- Custom-Sized Whiteboards: Manufacturers can create whiteboards to specific dimensions needed for unique spaces or purposes.
- 5-Foot-Tall Whiteboards: Some boards, like those offered by EverWhite, are available in a 5-foot height. These often feature a matte surface, making them ideal for use as both a writing surface and a projection screen.
Choosing the right size often depends on the classroom's dimensions, the number of students, and how the whiteboard will be used (e.g., writing, projection, interactive displays).
