Magnet Wall FAQ

What factors should be considered when deciding between a mounted vs mobile style?

Deciding between a wall-mounted and mobile version can be difficult. Consider the dedicated wall space you have, whether portability is important to you, and where you might keep a mobile style when not in use. Also consider the following: The extension panels will only work with the wall-mounted styles, so if you want a very long Magnet Wall, choose a wall-mounted version. An outdoor mobile style could be better suited than the wall-mounted outdoor if you’re in a region of the country that experiences extreme high or low temperatures. If you share the physical space with another program a mobile version might be best as it can be rolled away into a large storage space. We’re happy to speak with you to ensure your program needs are met! Give us a call or drop us an email.

Does Kodo offer installation services?

We do not, but our engineering team will gladly assist with planning or troubleshooting should you run into any issues during installation! Call or email customer service for any installation guidance.

Are any magnetic parts included?

Yes! Every Magnet Wall, regardless of the style, comes with a Fundamentals Pack of magnetic ramps, rings, and walls. We also include a couple of non-magnetic ramps for fitting into the rings or resting on the magnetic walls, a set of cups for holding balls or other parts that children want to include, and a set of wooden balls. There are plenty of parts in the Fundamentals Pack to get you started!

Will the magnetic accessories work on my existing magnet board?

Unfortunately, they will most likely not work. These magnets require a magnet board that is composed of 14 gauge steel.

Can dry erase markers be used on the magnetic panels?

No, as they tend to stain the surface. Try using our Magnet Wall Words and Symbols to safely label elements and write on your Magnet Wall.

How does play with the Magnet Wall support my curriculum?

The Magnet Wall tops our list of must-haves for supporting innovation, integrated STEM concept development, design and systems thinking. Children and adults can use their experiences to explore cause and effect relationships, trial and error, prediction and testing, data interpretation, chain reactions, and more. Look to your physical science curriculum for topics such as Inclined Planes, Magnetism, and Systems Design.
