The Mobile is the most straightforward wheeled option in the range: a double-sided panel on a castor base, available with white enamel on both sides or paired with a PET-felt pinning side made from 60% recycled PET bottles, rated NRC 0.30 for acoustic absorption. It rolls on transparent skate wheels designed for smooth, stable movement, and assembles in minutes using two bolts and a genuine buffalo leather pulling strap. It’s the right choice when a team needs a straightforward, double-sided writing surface that moves easily between rooms, with the option to add acoustic performance if the space is noisy. Its double-sided design means it can also function as a prikbord and writing surface at once, when specified with a mixed emaille and PET-felt combination, giving a single board two distinct uses depending on which side is in use at any given moment.

The Momentum drops the wheels entirely. At just 10.9 kg and 25 mm thick, it’s built to be picked up and carried rather than rolled, which makes it the fastest option to move into a spontaneous meeting that doesn’t justify wheeling a full-sized board across the office. Its powder-coated aluminium frame comes in white, blue or grey, matched to the writing surface colour. Choose the Momentum when the priority is speed and low weight over maximum surface area, for short meetings, huddle spaces or teams that only occasionally need a board away from their desk. Its simplicity is part of the appeal: there’s no assembly to think about and no wheels to maintain, which makes it a low-maintenance addition for a team that just needs a board available without any ongoing upkeep beyond the usual surface cleaning.

The Portable goes a step further on flexibility. It’s double-sided, finished with a genuine buffalo leather carrying strap and a shock-absorbing black rubber edge, and it can be hung from a wall-mounted button with just two screws, carried from room to room, or simply rested on a table or the floor. Because the strap runs over two sides on the larger L and XL sizes, it can even be hung in portrait or landscape orientation. This makes the Portable the right choice for teams that want one board usable in several different ways, rather than committing to either a fixed or a fully mobile setup. Because it’s available in multiple sizes, from compact to XL, it also works for a wider range of settings than its lightweight appearance might suggest, from a single desk-side whiteboard to a larger panel used in a shared project space.

The Harmonica Workwall is built for teams that need far more writing surface than a single panel can offer, without giving up mobility entirely. It folds out to a work surface over 3.5 metres wide in its largest three-piece configuration, with two-piece and single-panel options available for smaller spaces, and it can simply be wheeled away when it’s not needed, doubling as a room partition in the process. The surface is available in ceramic steel finishes or an acoustic PET-felt option in 21 colours, rated NRC 0.3, which makes it genuinely useful as a sound-dampening partition as well as a writing wall. Choose the Harmonica Workwall when a team needs whiteboard wall levels of surface area but can’t commit to a single fixed location for it. Delivery and setup are worth factoring in too: a three-piece Harmonica Workwall is a larger, heavier delivery than a single mobile whiteboard, so it’s worth confirming access routes into the building and the final room before ordering, in the same way you would for any large wall-scale furniture item.

The Lean Wall solves a different problem altogether: what to do when the wall itself is off-limits for screws, whether that’s a listed building, a shared tenancy, or simply a wall nobody wants to put holes in. It’s a free-standing panel, available in four sizes with a single panel measuring 98 by 218 cm, that leans against the wall rather than attaching to it, protected top and bottom by rubber edges that guard both the wall and the floor. Multiple panels can be connected at the back with strong magnets to build a wider writing wall without a single screw involved. Choose the Lean Wall whenever the room itself dictates the decision, rather than the team’s need for mobility. This also makes the Lean Wall a practical option for temporary installations, exhibitions or rented spaces more generally, anywhere a writing surface is needed for a defined period without leaving any trace once it’s removed.

Alongside these five, the Oak Mobile deserves a mention as the range’s premium wheeled option. It shares the Mobile’s castor-based mobility but trades the enamel surface for a matte SatinTones ceramic steel finish in fifteen pastel colours, set in a solid oak frame with locking castors and arriving fully pre-assembled. Where the Mobile prioritises acoustic flexibility and the Momentum and Portable prioritise light weight, the Oak Mobile prioritises appearance, making it the natural choice for a representative meeting room or reception area where a board on wheels needs to look as considered as the furniture around it.

One more factor worth separating out is scale. The Mobile, Momentum, Portable and Oak Mobile are all single-panel solutions, sized for one person or a small group to use at a time. The Harmonica Workwall and Lean Wall are wall-scale solutions, designed to give an entire team or a whole room several metres of combined surface. If the actual need is a personal or small-team writing surface, comparing single panels against each other is the right exercise. If the need is closer to replacing a fixed whiteboard wall without permanently fixing anything to the building, the Harmonica Workwall and Lean Wall are the more relevant comparison, and the deciding factor between those two usually comes down to whether the wall itself can be drilled into at all.

With six options in total, the quickest way to choose is to start from how the board will actually be used rather than from the product list. A board that moves between rooms daily and needs acoustic performance points to the Mobile. A board that needs to look the part in a client-facing space points to the Oak Mobile. A board that gets picked up for the occasional spontaneous meeting points to the Momentum. A board that needs to hang on a wall most of the time but travel occasionally points to the Portable. A team that needs several metres of writing surface without fixing anything to a wall points to the Harmonica Workwall. A room where the wall itself cannot be touched points to the Lean Wall. Working backwards from the constraint, rather than the product, makes the choice far more straightforward than comparing feature lists side by side. It’s also worth revisiting this decision periodically rather than treating it as permanent, since a team’s constraints, whether that’s wall access, room size or how often the board needs to move, tend to change as the organisation itself grows and its space evolves.

Every option in this range uses the same family of ceramic steel or enamel writing surfaces, each scratch resistant to the same standard as glass and magnetic for all types of magnets, so surface quality is rarely the deciding factor between them. Finish and colour range differ more meaningfully: the Oak Mobile and Lean Wall both offer SatinTones, Chalk and Projection finishes, the Harmonica Workwall adds an acoustic PET-felt option in 21 colours or full-colour print, and the Momentum keeps things simple with white, blue or grey enamel. If colour or finish matters for matching an existing space, it’s worth checking the specific finish options for the model under consideration rather than assuming every board in the range offers the same palette.

All six products share the same underlying guarantee structure: a lifetime warranty on perfect writing and erasing, and a two-year warranty on construction and defects. Sustainability credentials are consistent too, with FSC and ISO 14001 certification appearing across the Oak Mobile, Harmonica Workwall and Lean Wall, and full CO2 offsetting applied across Chameleon’s production. For an organisation that needs to document these credentials as part of a procurement process, that consistency means the paperwork doesn’t change much depending on which model is ultimately chosen, only the product specification itself does. Keeping a short record of which certification applies to which product, alongside the purchase order, saves time during an audit or a formal procurement review later, rather than needing to track each certificate down from a supplier retroactively.

If none of the six options above feels like an obvious fit yet, it often helps to go back a step and confirm whether a mobile solution is the right category at all, rather than trying to force a decision between models that don’t quite match the actual use case. Our guide on what a mobile whiteboard is and who actually needs one covers that broader question, including when a fixed whiteboard wall is actually the better answer.
