Mobile on Lockable Castors for Room-to-Room Use
Our mobile noticeboards mount on sturdy steel frames with heavy-duty lockable castors. The board rolls freely for repositioning and locks in place during use, preventing any movement when notices are being pinned or read. Wheel from a storage corridor into a meeting room for a presentation, wheel to a reception area for an open day, wheel into a hall for an examination: the same board serves multiple functions throughout the week without any reinstallation. Two people can reposition a loaded board in under 60 seconds.
Double-Sided for Open-Area Bilateral Display
Almost all our freestanding units are fabric-covered on both faces independently, allowing different content to be displayed on each side simultaneously. In a university foyer, library entrance, or exhibition hall where visitors approach from multiple directions, a double-sided board visible from both approaches doubles the effective display area of a single unit. Different departments, sessions, or subjects can occupy each face, creating two independent display zones from a single freestanding unit position.
Panel and Pole Modular Systems for Exhibition Walls
Our panel and pole modular systems link multiple individual boards together using connecting poles, creating continuous display walls, zig-zag configurations, and enclosures of any length. The standard configuration for school art shows, career fairs, and science exhibitions where a long unbroken display surface is needed. Each panel section is double-sided and independently loaded, and the full assembly dismantles into individual panels and poles for compact flat storage between events.
Fire-Retardant Class B for Corridors and Escape Routes
UK building regulations require display surfaces in corridors, stairwells, and fire escape routes to be rated to BS EN 13501-1 Class B. Our fire-retardant freestanding noticeboards carry this rating and the documentation required to demonstrate compliance during fire safety inspections. A freestanding noticeboard without fire-rated fabric is non-compliant in these positions even though it is not wall-mounted. Select boards specifically marked as fire-rated or Class B for any position in a circulation area of a school, hospital, or public building.
Felt and Loop Nylon: Pin or Velcro Attachment
Felt fabric accepts standard push pins and map pins cleanly and holds them securely without tearing. Loop nylon (a woven fabric with a textured weave) accepts both standard pins and Velcro hook dots that press into the fabric loop structure without pins entirely, useful for displaying laminated or card-backed notices where pin holes would damage the surface finish. Check the individual product specification for fabric type: not all freestanding boards are loop nylon, and Velcro compatibility depends entirely on the fabric construction.
Room Division and Partition Screens
At 1800mm board height on a standing frame, our largest freestanding noticeboards are tall enough to function as effective room partitions, creating temporary examination screens, privacy zones in open-plan offices, and separated areas within a large hall. Unlike static partition walls, a freestanding noticeboard partition provides a display surface while dividing the space, and dismantles for storage when the partition is no longer needed. The panel and pole modular format allows partition walls of any length to be assembled and removed without any permanent installation.
