Why don't you sell glass panels?

Magnetic glass boards are really nice to look at, but they are an expensive solution, as you have to use very powerful (and expensive) magnets compared to a whiteboard. In addition, you are very limited in what you can hang on the glass boards, because they are smooth and weak in the magnetic field. The magnets will therefore rather find themselves together with other magnets than stay in the place where you put the magnet in the first place, because the magnetic field from the other magnets is greater than the one behind the glass board - it is not the glass itself that is magnetic , but it is a magnetic steel plate inside the glass plate. The magnets must therefore work through a thick layer of glass, and it therefore makes very good sense that they are attracted to the other magnets on the board so easily, so that you end up with a large "ball" of magnets (and with your papers on the floor) .

Many people do not get this guidance when they buy boards online or in the supermarket/hardware market, nor are they told how magnetic the steel plate behind the glass is. They are simply told that strong magnets are needed, but the magnets that you would normally describe as strong magnets, they are not very strong when they are put on the glass boards, and therefore the customers are often left with the feeling that they should not have chosen a glass board. And you can forget all about using "ordinary souvenir magnets" for your glass board - they can't even support themselves on the board.

We can provide this advice, and we have therefore chosen to focus on the magnets - not the glass panels. Because as I started the blog post with: they are really nice to look at, and then there is not much else good to say about them compared to e.g. a whiteboard or a magnetic whiteboard varnish, both of which have the writing function of a glass board, but are much more magnetic and practical solutions.

So until the "perfect glass board" is invented, where the glass itself is magnetic, then we stick to advising on the choice of magnets for the glass boards.
