FAQ

• What's my shipping cost?

✕
All MagPanel Dry-Erase products ship on a pallet via Motor Freight (starting at $120+). Sorry FedEx is not available for this product family. To get your actual shipping cost, add the item to your cart.

• Can I get a custom size?

• How do I cut it?

✕
This product can be cut with a jig saw, circular saw or radial saw. Use a blade designed to cut sheet metal (a fine tooth blade). For cutting stainless steel or for cutting larger quantities, consider using a carbide-tipped fine tooth blade.

• Will the screw heads match the color of the MagPanel?

✕
We sell optional screw caps that will match your MagPanel color.

• How do I attach fabric, wallpaper, or graphics to the MagPanel?

✕
Attaching on your own fabric, wallpaper or graphic onto the MagPanel is a great way to customize it’s appearance: 1. Use a spray adhesive to attach your material to the MagPanel. There are many types of spray adhesives, such as 3M brand. Consult your local fabric store, craft store or hardware store for the best spray adhesive recommended for the material you are attaching. 2. Try to use the thinnest material you can. The thicker the material, the more the magnetic holding strength will be reduced. Generally speaking most people don’t notice much of a magnetic strength reduction with typical thin materials. 3. To mount onto your wall, either poke the mounting screws thru the material and use the mounting holes of the MagPanel OR attach the MagPanel to the wall using a construction adhesive (like Liquid Nails brand).

• Is the panel itself magnetized?

✕
MagPanel™ is not a magnet itself. It is a surface onto which magnets will stick.

• How do I install it?

• How do I put a frame around it?

✕
Screw the MagPanel™ to your wall as you would normally. Find a wood molding that you like – such as corner round, chair rail, etc - typically found at your local hardware store. Miter cut the molding to size. Nail the molding to the wall so it covers the edge of the MagPanel™. When done, you will have a beautifully framed surface for holding magnets.

• Can I get sample swatches?

• Can I get it without mounting holes?

✕
Yes, of course. Please place your order by phone at 1.888.983.4327 (98.DGEAR) and request your MagPanel without mounting holes. You may also request to eliminate the rounded corners and have square corners instead.

• Can I get it with square corners?

✕
Yes, of course. Please place your order by phone at 1.888.983.4327 (98.DGEAR) and request your MagPanel with square corners. You may also request to omit the mounting holes as well.

• Do I need to screw into studs?

✕
You do NOT need to screw your MagPanel™ into studs. The product is relatively lightweight and is engineered to be directly screwed into dry wall. We provide mounting holes approximately every 12" around the periphery of the board. Use the screws that are included to attach to your wall - no anchors or studs needed.

• What's the difference between Wet-Erase and Dry-Erase?

✕
The difference lies in the type of ink used in the markers. Wet-Erase markers will work on all of our MagPanels, even on the MagPanel type called "Dry-Erase". Wet-Erase markers can be wiped away with a damp cloth. Dry-Erase markers will only work on the type of MagPanel which is called "Dry-Erase". Dry-Erase markers can only be wiped away with a special dry-erase Eraser.

• Can it be propped up against a wall?

✕
As it comes in the box, it needs to be mounted to a wall because the product has some flex. To prop it up against a wall, first mount it to a rigid material such as foam board or thin plywood. For a cleaner appearance, you can order your MagPanel without mounting holes by placing your order by phone 1.888.98DGEAR (983.4327) EST.

Tips

• To save on shipping, tile multiple 2x4 or 2x6 panels together to cover a larger area
