Cork Noticeboards: Natural Pin Boards & Display Panels
The classic choice for sustainable organization. Displaysense offers a professional range of cork noticeboards perfect for schools, offices, and community centres. Featuring a resilient, self-healing cork surface, these boards are designed to withstand years of repetitive pinning without showing holes or damage.
Our collection includes robust aluminium-framed boards for corridors and classrooms, as well as large format pinboards for staff rooms. Whether you need a simple space to pin health and safety notices or a creative display area for student artwork, our cork pin boards offer a durable, natural solution that blends seamlessly into any educational or professional environment.
Self-Healing Surface
Long-lasting durability. Natural cork has elastic properties that allow pin holes to close up automatically once pins are removed. This ensures your noticeboard remains looking neat and professional, even after thousands of pin insertions.
Aluminium Frame
Commercial strength. Our boards are edged with a sturdy anodised aluminium frame. This protects the cork edges from fraying and provides a rigid structure, essential for large noticeboards used in busy corridors or classrooms.
Concealed Fixings
Clean installation. For safety and aesthetics, our framed boards use corner mountings with clip-on covers. This hides the screws from view and prevents tampering, making them safer for use in school hallways and public areas.
Eco-Friendly Material
Sustainable choice. Cork is a natural, renewable material harvested from the bark of cork oak trees without harming the tree. Choosing cork boards supports sustainable practices, ideal for green-conscious organizations.
Large Size Range
900mm to 2400mm. We stock standard sizes like 900x600mm for offices, up to massive 2400x1200mm boards. These larger sizes are perfect for staff rooms or community halls where multiple notices need to be displayed at once.
Versatile Mounting
Portrait or Landscape. The flexible mounting system allows you to hang the board either vertically or horizontally. This adaptability ensures the board fits perfectly into your available wall space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cork noticeboard?
A cork noticeboard features a surface made from natural cork granules. It is used with push pins to display paper notices, photos, and memos. The natural texture hides pin holes, making it highly durable.
Are cork boards suitable for schools?
Yes. They are excellent for classrooms and staff rooms. However, for corridors and fire escape routes, you must use fire-rated noticeboards (Class 0 / Class B) to comply with building regulations.
Can I use push pins or drawing pins?
Yes. You can use standard push pins, drawing pins, or thumbtacks. The cork is deep enough to hold them securely without them falling out.
How do I install the board?
Our aluminium framed boards come with a corner fixing kit. You screw through the corners into the wall (screws and plugs provided) and then clip on a plastic cover cap to hide the screw head.
Can I hang it in portrait orientation?
Yes. All our standard framed boards can be mounted either in portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal) orientation to suit your wall space.
What is the difference between cork and felt?
Cork is a natural brown material with a textured look. Felt is a fabric available in colours like blue or grey. Both work well with pins, but felt is often preferred in corporate settings for a smoother aesthetic.
Do you accept Purchase Orders?
Yes. We accept official Purchase Orders from Schools, Universities, and NHS Trusts. Contact our team to set up an instant credit account.
Can I get a custom size?
We stock a huge range of sizes up to 2400mm wide. For bespoke sizes or large volume orders, please contact our sales team for a quote.
Is the cork adhered to a backing board?
Yes. The cork layer is bonded to a fibreboard backing. This adds rigidity to the board and ensures pins grip firmly without passing straight through to the wall.
How do I clean a cork board?
Cork is low maintenance. You can simply brush it lightly or use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.
