What Size Is a Class Whiteboard?

Published in Classroom Whiteboard Sizes 2 mins read

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).
