Combination Boards: Dual-Purpose Notice & Whiteboards
Maximise wall space with a 2-in-1 solution. Displaysense offers a versatile range of combination boards designed for environments where space is at a premium. Perfect for staff rooms, university halls, and NHS wards, these dual-purpose units feature both a dry-wipe magnetic whiteboard and a felt or cork noticeboard side-by-side.
Why choose between writing notes and pinning updates when you can do both? Our combi boards allow you to brainstorm ideas on the whiteboard section while keeping permanent rotas or safety notices pinned securely on the other. With durable aluminium frames and concealed fixings, they provide a professional finish for any educational or healthcare setting.
Magnetic Dry Wipe
Write & Attach. One half of the board features a high-quality lacquered steel surface. This is not only excellent for writing with dry wipe markers but is also magnetic, allowing you to use magnets to hold up temporary notes or photos.
Felt or Cork Options
Secure Pinning. Choose between a self-healing cork surface for a classic look, or a blue/grey felt surface. Both are designed to hold pins firmly, making them ideal for displaying statutory notices or staff rotas.
Space Saving Design
All-in-one solution. In small offices, kitchens, or nurse stations, wall space is scarce. A combination board eliminates the need to buy and mount two separate boards, keeping your wall tidy and organised.
Robust Aluminium Frame
Commercial durability. The board is encased in a sturdy anodised aluminium frame with rounded plastic corners. This protects the edges from damage and conceals the wall fixings for a sleek, safe finish.
Easy Installation
Everything included. Our boards are supplied with a wall fixing kit. The corner mounting system is simple to install on any standard wall, ensuring your display is secure and level in minutes.
Staff Room Essential
Communication hub. By combining a "write-on" area for daily messages with a "pin-up" area for permanent policies, these boards become the central hub for team communication in any workplace.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a combination board?
A combination board (or combi board) is a single wall-mounted unit that is split 50/50. One half is a dry-wipe whiteboard surface, and the other half is a pinnable noticeboard surface (felt or cork).
Are they suitable for NHS hospitals?
Yes. They are extremely popular in nursing stations and staff rooms. The whiteboard side is used for patient handover notes, while the noticeboard side holds shift rotas and compliance notices.
Is the whiteboard side magnetic?
Yes. The whiteboard section is made from lacquered steel, which is magnetic. This gives you three ways to display info: write it, pin it (on the felt side), or stick it with magnets (on the white side).
Which side is which?
Typically, the board layout is fixed with the whiteboard on one side and the felt on the other. However, most boards can be mounted 'upside down' (rotated 180 degrees) if you prefer the whiteboard on the left vs the right.
What sizes are available?
We stock standard sizes such as 900 x 600mm (perfect for small offices) and 1200 x 900mm. These sizes are large enough to be useful without dominating a small room.
Do you accept Purchase Orders?
Yes. We accept official Purchase Orders from Schools, Universities, and NHS Trusts. Contact our team to set up an account with instant credit terms.
How do I install it?
The board comes with a corner fixing kit. You remove the corner caps, screw through the holes into your wall (plugs and screws provided), and then snap the caps back on to hide the screw heads.
Can I choose the felt colour?
Our standard combi boards usually come with Blue or Grey felt as these are the most professional and popular choices for corporate and educational environments.
Is the felt fire rated?
Standard combi boards are generally for office/classroom use. If you need a board for a corridor or fire escape route, please check our Fire Resistant Noticeboards range for fully compliant Class B options.
Can I use standard whiteboard pens?
Yes. The dry-wipe surface is designed for use with standard dry-wipe markers. We recommend cleaning it regularly with a whiteboard spray to keep it bright and white.
