MagPaintable™ Matt White Ferrous Rolls

Thinking of creating a paintable magnetic wall - no problem.

The MagPaintable brand is MagScapes class-leading ferrous paintable wallcovering. It comes in a matt white finish, pre-primed for emulsion paints. It has a ferrous backing that scores 2/5 for magnet receptivity to enable MagLite low-power magnets to work on the surface. And for peace of mind, MagWrite is fire-resistant and comes with a 10yr warranty.

Note: Together, MagPaintable + MagLiner score 4/5 for magnet receptivity to enable low and high-power magnets to work on the surface.

It comes in handy rolls at 120cm wide by 6m & 12m lengths. If you know the wall size - check how much you need.

All MagScapes wallcoverings are easy to install for a professional decorator. Please refer to MagPaintable: User and Decorator Guide. Our recommended ready-mixed adhesives;

MagFix adhesive for absorbent wall surfaces
MagVOV adhesive for non-absorbent wall surfaces

Magnet receptivity rating is 2/5
 - it has a low receptive rating which means only low power magnets will work on the surface.

To boost magnet receptivity rating to 4/5 use with MagLiner - a higher receptive rating means all magnets will work on the surface as if you were using a fridge door.

The Smarter Alternative to Magnetic Paint

The idea of a magnetic wall in any colour you choose is enormously appealing. Paint the wall in your brand colour, your interior scheme, your carefully selected Farrow & Ball shade - and have it hold magnets as well. It is a compelling vision, and it is exactly what magnetic paint products promise. The reality, as thousands of disappointed decorators and specifiers have discovered, rarely delivers. Multiple coats, uncertain coverage, inconsistent iron particle density, and magnetic performance that tops out at 2 or 3 out of 5 - even on a good day.
MagPaintable™ by MagScapes is the solution that delivers on that promise without the compromise. It is a magnetic paintable wallcovering - a pre-primed, matt white ferrous wallcovering that installs like a professional liner, and then accepts any emulsion paint directly onto its surface. The result is a fully magnetic wall in precisely the colour you want, with consistent performance across every centimetre of the surface, guaranteed by the manufacturing process rather than left to the variability of the application method.

What is MagPaintable?

MagPaintable™ is MagScapes' class-leading ferrous paintable wallcovering. It comes in a matt white, pre-primed finish that is ready to receive emulsion paint the moment it has fully cured after installation - no additional priming, no surface preparation, no guesswork about whether the paint will adhere cleanly. Hang it, let it cure, paint it in your chosen colour. That is the process.
Available in rolls of 120cm wide by 6m and 12m, MagPaintable's full-width format minimises the number of joins across a wall, making it faster to install than narrower liner products and giving a cleaner, more seamless base for the paint finish. The pre-primed white surface provides an even, consistent foundation that delivers true colour in fewer paint coats than you would achieve over raw plaster or standard lining paper.
The ferrous backing delivers a magnet receptivity rating of 2 out of 5 when used alone - sufficient for lightweight MagLite low-power magnets to hold securely. For projects where stronger magnets are needed, MagPaintable is available as a bundle with MagLiner - when the two products are used together, receptivity rises to 4 out of 5, enabling all magnet types to hold with fridge-door strength. This upgrade option is available at checkout, making it simple to specify the right performance level for the project from the outset.

Outperforms Magnetic Paint

Anyone who has researched magnetic paint - whether the standard formulation, super magnetic paint, or magnetic plaster - will recognise the pattern: attractive marketing, modest real-world results. The core limitation is inherent to the product category. Magnetic paint suspends iron particles in a liquid medium, and the density achievable without compromising application properties is inherently limited. Even with multiple coats - and these products typically require three to five - the ferrous layer is thin, variable, and subject to the skill and consistency of the person applying it.
The comparison with MagPaintable is straightforward. MagPaintable's ferrous layer is manufactured at a controlled thickness and density before the product reaches site. It is not dependent on the number of coats applied, the ambient temperature during application, or the decorator's technique. Every roll performs to the same specification, across every project, every time. The 2/5 rating on MagPaintable alone exceeds the real-world performance of most magnetic paint applications - and the 4/5 rating available with the MagLiner bundle puts it in an entirely different performance bracket.
Installation time is also significantly shorter. Magnetic paint projects require multiple coats with drying time between each, often stretching across two or three days. MagPaintable is a single-session installation, and the wall is ready to paint the following day. For commercial projects where downtime and disruption matter, this is a meaningful practical advantage.

Absolute Colour Freedom

The creative and commercial appeal of MagPaintable rests on one simple fact: you choose the colour. Unlike MagWrite (white dry-erase), MagChalk (matt black), or MagLiner (grey), MagPaintable is a blank canvas that becomes whatever colour your project demands.
For corporate and office environments, this means meeting rooms, breakout zones, and collaborative walls that match the brand palette exactly — no visual disconnection between the magnetic surface and the rest of the designed interior. A company with a strong brand colour can have that colour on the wall, holding magnets, without compromise.
For education and training environments, it means classrooms where the magnetic wall feels like part of the room, not an afterthought. A science lab can have its magnetic wall in a clean institutional white. A design school can have it in whatever colour the interior concept requires. A primary classroom can have a cheerful, child-friendly colour that holds magnetic letters, numbers, and learning aids at the same time.
For architects and interior designers specifying residential or hospitality projects, MagPaintable is the answer to the client who wants a fully designed interior that also holds magnets. The magnetic function becomes invisible - present and useful, but completely subordinate to the aesthetic.

MagPaintable + MagLiner

For projects that need stronger magnetic performance - those where clip magnets, multi-sheet document holders, or heavy presentation aids are part of the specification - the MagPaintable and MagLiner bundle is the definitive solution. MagLiner is applied to the wall first, providing its 5/5 ferrous base layer. MagPaintable is then hung over it, providing the pre-primed white paintable surface. The combined system delivers 4/5 magnet receptivity - all magnet types, full fridge-door hold - beneath a paintable surface in any colour.
This combination is particularly well suited to high-use commercial environments where the magnetic wall needs to perform reliably day after day: project management walls in offices, planning surfaces in operations centres, display walls in schools, and patient information boards in healthcare facilities. The bundle option is available directly at checkout alongside the standalone MagPaintable rolls, with pricing that reflects the value of specifying both products together.

Commercial Use

MagPaintable is not a DIY product thinly dressed in commercial language. It is a specification-grade wallcovering designed for professional installation in commercial environments where performance consistency, regulatory compliance, and long-term durability are all non-negotiable.
The EuroClass D-s1, d0 fire rating confirms compliance with commercial fire safety standards, making MagPaintable suitable for offices, schools, healthcare facilities, hospitality venues, and other regulated environments where fire performance documentation is required as part of the building specification. Its low-VOC, no-odour formulation means installation can take place in occupied or recently occupied buildings without risk of harmful emissions or lingering odour — a significant practical advantage for refurbishment projects that cannot afford extended ventilation periods.
The 10-year product warranty reflects MagScapes' confidence in MagPaintable's durability over the long term. A painted MagPaintable wall is a permanent, low-maintenance magnetic surface that does not require recoating, reactivating, or replacing on the timescale that would concern a facilities manager or building owner.

Easy Application

MagPaintable installs using the paste-the-wall method, with adhesive applied to the prepared wall surface before the wallcovering is positioned and smoothed into place. This approach - identical to the installation of a premium wallpaper liner - is familiar to any professional decorator and produces clean, consistent results across different substrates and room configurations.
MagScapes recommend MagFix for absorbent wall surfaces and MagVOV for non-absorbent surfaces. A dedicated MagPaintable User and Decorator Guide is available to download, covering surface preparation, adhesive selection, installation technique, seam management, and guidance on applying the emulsion paint top coat. The guide also covers the MagPaintable + MagLiner installation sequence for projects using the bundle.
The 120cm roll width is a genuine productivity advantage over narrower products: fewer joins, faster wall coverage, and a more consistent painted surface. For large commercial projects where multiple walls or entire rooms need to be fitted, the savings in installation time are significant.

Proven Applications

Corporate and Office: MagPaintable walls in meeting rooms, agile working zones, and corridor feature walls give teams a magnetic surface in the exact brand colour of the organisation. Presentation materials, project cards, and visual plans can be displayed directly on the painted wall with magnets — making the space as functional as it is visually cohesive.
Education and Training: Schools, colleges, and training facilities use MagPaintable to create magnetic walls that integrate into the designed classroom environment. Paired with MagLiner for 4/5 receptivity, the wall holds all magnet types — including the learning magnets, magnetic letters, and display clip magnets that teachers depend on daily.
Healthcare and Blue Light: In NHS facilities, GP surgeries, care homes, and blue-light operational settings, MagPaintable provides magnetic information and display surfaces that meet fire safety standards, low-VOC requirements, and the practical demands of clinical and operational environments. Painted in standard NHS or brand-specification colours, the wall is indistinguishable from a conventional painted surface until a magnet is applied.
Retail and Hospitality: MagPaintable enables engaging surfaces in retail interiors, restaurant back-of-house areas, hotel lobbies, and event spaces where the finish colour is as important as the magnetic function. Visual merchandising teams, front-of-house managers, and event coordinators all benefit from magnetic walls that hold displays, menus, and signage without drilling, sticking, or taping.
Residential: For homeowners who want a magnetic wall in their kitchen, home office, children's room, or hallway - in the exact paint colour that matches the rest of their interior - MagPaintable is the premium solution. It is cleaner, more reliable, and more durable than any number of coats of magnetic paint, and the finish is indistinguishable from a standard painted wall.

Choosing the Best Option

MagPaintable alone (2/5 receptivity): Best for projects where light magnets — MagLite discs, small clip magnets, or decorative magnets — are the primary use case. Suits residential applications, lightly used display walls, and projects with a limited budget.
MagPaintable + MagLiner bundle (4/5 receptivity): Best for commercial, educational, and high-use applications where strong magnets and heavy document holders need to perform reliably. The definitive specification for projects that demand genuine fridge-door magnetic strength beneath a fully painted surface.
