A Square Blue Combination Board for a Feature Wall
A square board reads differently from a long one, giving close to equal space on each side, so the pinning half and the writing half each get a full, balanced area rather than one of them being squeezed down into a thin strip. The NB1859B puts that to work, pairing a bold blue felt pinboard with a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard, so a focal wall in a classroom, a community hub or a civic office can carry a proper run of notices and posters on the felt and still keep a generous writing space alongside for the day's messages. The deep blue felt sits cleanly behind pinned posters and schedules, giving an organised backdrop on a board that quickly becomes a natural point of reference for the whole room. Both halves sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer, more natural look than plain plastic and a lower-impact choice besides. The board is made in the UK and arrives ready to hang with concealed wall fixings supplied. A two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for schools, community hubs and eco-conscious offices where a board needs to act as a central, balanced display rather than just a narrow strip on the wall.
Why This Square Blue Combination Board Earns Its Place
- Balanced pin and write halves: The even proportions give the felt and the whiteboard close to equal space, so neither side is cramped and a board can hold a full set of notices while still leaving a proper area for writing.
- A focal display on the wall: The board sits as a balanced block rather than a long strip, working as a central point of reference on a feature wall where people gather to read and update information together.
- Blue felt that reads cleanly: The deep blue surface sits quietly behind pinned posters and printed sheets, keeping a heavily used board looking organised rather than cluttered in a classroom, hub or office.
- A greener fixture on show: Built in the UK from recycled stock with a warm wood-effect frame, the board lets a school or organisation point to a visible fixture that supports the organisation's environmental commitments rather than working against them.
- Write, wipe and repeat: The dry-wipe panel handles handwritten notes with any standard marker and clears for the next message, though the surface is non-magnetic, so pin to the blue felt rather than reaching for a magnet.
- Pins and staples both hold: The blue felt takes push pins and staples, so paper notices, posters and fabric-backed pieces fix securely across the surface and lift away cleanly when the board is refreshed.
Where This Square Blue Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Schools and Classrooms | Teaching walls need a board that holds a full week of material and still has room to write. Timetables, letters and pupil work pin or staple to the blue felt across a balanced surface, while the dry-wipe half carries the date, tasks and reminders that change each day. |
| Community and Civic Hubs | Community centres and civic buildings post a steady run of public information. The blue felt presents notices, leaflets and event posters as a central display where visitors gather, and the dry-wipe side takes changing updates such as session times or service notices. |
| Eco-Conscious Offices | Workplaces tracking sustainability targets want fixtures that match. The recycled board holds team notices and schedules on the felt and live to-dos on the writing half, working as a balanced communal board while keeping the environmental impact low. |
| Breakout Rooms and Staff Areas | Staff rooms and breakout spaces juggle standing notices and quick planning together. Pinning the rota and key notices to the blue felt keeps them on show, while the writing half gives a full block of space for ideas and reminders during the day. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | Front desks have to share key information while staying tidy. Notices and welcome material hold on the blue felt as a clear focal display, and the writing half handles changing messages such as opening times or daily announcements for visitors. |
| Corridors and Communal Walls | Shared corridors and communal walls gather information from across a building. The board keeps notices grouped in one balanced spot where people pass, and the dry-wipe panel takes the updates that move from week to week. |
Need a Different Size?
For a landscape wall, the 1200 x 900mm blue board is a landscape-format alternative. For more surface again, the 1500 x 1200mm blue board steps up.

The Displaysense NB1859B is an Eco-Friendly Combination Blue Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A square combination board with a blue felt pinboard on one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard on the other, set in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, made in the UK. Board size 1200mm x 1200mm, weight 6kg, square format. Blue felt pinboard compatible with pins and staples, non-magnetic dry-wipe writing surface, recycled wood-effect frame, concealed wall fixings supplied, two-year guarantee. Best suited for schools, community hubs, civic buildings and eco-conscious offices where a board works as a central balanced display. Also available in a 1200 x 900mm size such as the NB1861B and a 1500 x 1200mm size such as the NB1864BL. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Shape changes how a board works, and a square one shares the area more evenly than a long board does. Instead of a narrow pinning strip sitting beside an equally narrow writing strip, each half here gets a full, roughly equal block of usable area, so a wall can hold a proper run of pinned notices and still keep a genuine writing area rather than just a token margin off to one side. That even split is the point of this format, which naturally suits a focal wall where the board has to do two jobs at full size rather than squeezing one of them into whatever space happens to be left over.
One half is blue felt and the other a dry-wipe panel, so the board carries the standing notices and the live messages together. Posters, schedules and letters pin to the blue felt for the days or weeks they need to stay up on show, while the whiteboard side takes the notes, dates and reminders that change through the course of the week. Where a room has space for a single fixture, that pairing covers both jobs at once, holding the fixed information and the moving information neatly side by side without ever calling for two separate boards on the wall.
Press a pin or drive a staple into the blue felt and the woven surface takes the fixing and closes back around the pin. Notices, posters and fabric-backed pieces all hold securely in place and then peel off without trace when the board is next cleared, and the felt recovers a tidy finish across repeated use. The dry-wipe half works the other way, taking standard markers and wiping clean for the next note, though that writing panel is non-magnetic, so anything to be fixed belongs on the felt with a pin rather than a magnet.
Look at the build and the eco thinking runs right through the board. The light wood-effect frame is made in the UK from recycled stock, cutting out the new plastic a conventional board leans on while giving a warmer, more natural finish than the hard edge of a bare plastic frame. The board stays light to handle at this size, comes supplied with concealed wall fixings for a clean fit, and a full two-year guarantee reflects a unit built for steady daily use as a central display in a busy room.

| Construction | 100% recycled materials | A greener build that reuses material rather than relying on new plastic throughout, making for a more sustainable everyday buying choice. |
| Manufactured | Made in the UK | UK manufacture means a shorter supply chain overall and a board produced to a known, consistent standard close to where it is sold. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Square Blue Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best square noticeboard for a feature wall?
A: A square combination board, like the NB1859B, suits a feature wall. The 1200 by 1200mm format gives a full pinning half and a full writing half, setting a blue felt pinboard beside a non-magnetic dry-wipe surface. The board weighs 6kg and carries a full two-year guarantee for everyday use.
Q: Why choose a square board over a landscape one?
A: A square board shares the available area more evenly, so the felt half and the whiteboard half each get a full block of space rather than a single narrow strip. That suits a central feature wall where the board needs to hold a proper run of notices and still leave a generous writing space alongside.
Q: What surfaces does the board have?
A: The board is split into two surfaces, a blue felt pinboard on one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard on the other. The felt holds notices and posters on pins or staples, while the dry-wipe panel takes marker for handwritten messages and wipes clean again for the next note.
Q: Is the whiteboard half magnetic?
A: No. The dry-wipe whiteboard half is non-magnetic, so magnets will not hold on the writing surface. The panel works with any standard dry-wipe marker and clears with a soft cloth. For anything that needs fixing in place, use the blue felt half with pins or staples instead.
Q: How big is the board, and how does it mount?
A: The board measures 1200mm by 1200mm and weighs 6kg, a balanced size for a feature wall in a classroom, hub or office. Concealed wall fixings are supplied, and the board mounts either way up, sitting as a central block on the wall rather than a long, narrow strip.
Q: Can the felt take staples as well as pins?
A: Yes. The blue felt accepts both pins and staples, and the woven surface closes back around the holes and stands up well to repeated use. Notices can come down and go back up across a whole term or quarter without the felt losing condition or starting to look worn.
Q: What makes this noticeboard a greener choice?
A: The board is built in the UK from 100% recycled materials, including the light wood-effect frame, which cuts the new plastic a conventional board relies on. That lowers the environmental impact of a central fixture, suiting schools, councils and offices working toward ESG or sustainability targets.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1861B?
A: Both are the same blue felt and non-magnetic dry-wipe combination board. The NB1859B is the 1200 by 1200mm format with balanced even halves, while the NB1861B is a 1200 by 900mm landscape board. Choose the square board for a central feature wall, or the landscape board for a broader, shorter wall space.
Q: Is the board suitable for a school or community hub?
A: Yes. Schools pin timetables and pupil work to the blue felt and write daily tasks on the dry-wipe half, while community hubs keep public notices and event posters on the felt with updates on the writing side. The balanced format works well as a central display in a spot where people naturally gather.
Q: How are the two surfaces cleaned and looked after?
A: Wipe the dry-wipe half with a dry cloth after use, and a whiteboard-safe cleaner lifts heavier marks and prevents ghosting. The blue felt needs only an occasional light brush or vacuum to stay fresh. Using quality dry-wipe markers rather than permanent pens keeps the writing surface in good condition.
Q: Is the board available with free UK delivery and a guarantee?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery and a two-year guarantee. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, councils and offices with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders across several rooms can be arranged directly through our team.
Q: Does it come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. The same combination board comes in other felt colours and in several sizes, from a 1200 by 900mm landscape up to a larger 1500 by 1200mm NB1864BL. Choose this 1200 by 1200mm blue board for a central feature wall, or pick a landscape size to suit the space available.

The board is made in the UK and arrives ready to hang with concealed wall fixings supplied. A two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for schools, community hubs and eco-conscious offices where a board needs to act as a central, balanced display rather than just a narrow strip on the wall.
Why This Square Blue Combination Board Earns Its Place
- Balanced pin and write halves: The even proportions give the felt and the whiteboard close to equal space, so neither side is cramped and a board can hold a full set of notices while still leaving a proper area for writing.
- A focal display on the wall: The board sits as a balanced block rather than a long strip, working as a central point of reference on a feature wall where people gather to read and update information together.
- Blue felt that reads cleanly: The deep blue surface sits quietly behind pinned posters and printed sheets, keeping a heavily used board looking organised rather than cluttered in a classroom, hub or office.
- A greener fixture on show: Built in the UK from recycled stock with a warm wood-effect frame, the board lets a school or organisation point to a visible fixture that supports the organisation's environmental commitments rather than working against them.
- Write, wipe and repeat: The dry-wipe panel handles handwritten notes with any standard marker and clears for the next message, though the surface is non-magnetic, so pin to the blue felt rather than reaching for a magnet.
- Pins and staples both hold: The blue felt takes push pins and staples, so paper notices, posters and fabric-backed pieces fix securely across the surface and lift away cleanly when the board is refreshed.
Where This Square Blue Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Schools and Classrooms | Teaching walls need a board that holds a full week of material and still has room to write. Timetables, letters and pupil work pin or staple to the blue felt across a balanced surface, while the dry-wipe half carries the date, tasks and reminders that change each day. |
| Community and Civic Hubs | Community centres and civic buildings post a steady run of public information. The blue felt presents notices, leaflets and event posters as a central display where visitors gather, and the dry-wipe side takes changing updates such as session times or service notices. |
| Eco-Conscious Offices | Workplaces tracking sustainability targets want fixtures that match. The recycled board holds team notices and schedules on the felt and live to-dos on the writing half, working as a balanced communal board while keeping the environmental impact low. |
| Breakout Rooms and Staff Areas | Staff rooms and breakout spaces juggle standing notices and quick planning together. Pinning the rota and key notices to the blue felt keeps them on show, while the writing half gives a full block of space for ideas and reminders during the day. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | Front desks have to share key information while staying tidy. Notices and welcome material hold on the blue felt as a clear focal display, and the writing half handles changing messages such as opening times or daily announcements for visitors. |
| Corridors and Communal Walls | Shared corridors and communal walls gather information from across a building. The board keeps notices grouped in one balanced spot where people pass, and the dry-wipe panel takes the updates that move from week to week. |

The Displaysense NB1859B is an Eco-Friendly Combination Blue Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A square combination board with a blue felt pinboard on one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard on the other, set in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, made in the UK. Board size 1200mm x 1200mm, weight 6kg, square format. Blue felt pinboard compatible with pins and staples, non-magnetic dry-wipe writing surface, recycled wood-effect frame, concealed wall fixings supplied, two-year guarantee. Best suited for schools, community hubs, civic buildings and eco-conscious offices where a board works as a central balanced display. Also available in a 1200 x 900mm size such as the NB1861B and a 1500 x 1200mm size such as the NB1864BL. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Shape changes how a board works, and a square one shares the area more evenly than a long board does. Instead of a narrow pinning strip sitting beside an equally narrow writing strip, each half here gets a full, roughly equal block of usable area, so a wall can hold a proper run of pinned notices and still keep a genuine writing area rather than just a token margin off to one side. That even split is the point of this format, which naturally suits a focal wall where the board has to do two jobs at full size rather than squeezing one of them into whatever space happens to be left over.
One half is blue felt and the other a dry-wipe panel, so the board carries the standing notices and the live messages together. Posters, schedules and letters pin to the blue felt for the days or weeks they need to stay up on show, while the whiteboard side takes the notes, dates and reminders that change through the course of the week. Where a room has space for a single fixture, that pairing covers both jobs at once, holding the fixed information and the moving information neatly side by side without ever calling for two separate boards on the wall.
Press a pin or drive a staple into the blue felt and the woven surface takes the fixing and closes back around the pin. Notices, posters and fabric-backed pieces all hold securely in place and then peel off without trace when the board is next cleared, and the felt recovers a tidy finish across repeated use. The dry-wipe half works the other way, taking standard markers and wiping clean for the next note, though that writing panel is non-magnetic, so anything to be fixed belongs on the felt with a pin rather than a magnet.
Look at the build and the eco thinking runs right through the board. The light wood-effect frame is made in the UK from recycled stock, cutting out the new plastic a conventional board leans on while giving a warmer, more natural finish than the hard edge of a bare plastic frame. The board stays light to handle at this size, comes supplied with concealed wall fixings for a clean fit, and a full two-year guarantee reflects a unit built for steady daily use as a central display in a busy room.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Square Blue Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best square noticeboard for a feature wall?
A: A square combination board, like the NB1859B, suits a feature wall. The 1200 by 1200mm format gives a full pinning half and a full writing half, setting a blue felt pinboard beside a non-magnetic dry-wipe surface. The board weighs 6kg and carries a full two-year guarantee for everyday use.
Q: Why choose a square board over a landscape one?
A: A square board shares the available area more evenly, so the felt half and the whiteboard half each get a full block of space rather than a single narrow strip. That suits a central feature wall where the board needs to hold a proper run of notices and still leave a generous writing space alongside.
Q: What surfaces does the board have?
A: The board is split into two surfaces, a blue felt pinboard on one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard on the other. The felt holds notices and posters on pins or staples, while the dry-wipe panel takes marker for handwritten messages and wipes clean again for the next note.
Q: Is the whiteboard half magnetic?
A: No. The dry-wipe whiteboard half is non-magnetic, so magnets will not hold on the writing surface. The panel works with any standard dry-wipe marker and clears with a soft cloth. For anything that needs fixing in place, use the blue felt half with pins or staples instead.
Q: How big is the board, and how does it mount?
A: The board measures 1200mm by 1200mm and weighs 6kg, a balanced size for a feature wall in a classroom, hub or office. Concealed wall fixings are supplied, and the board mounts either way up, sitting as a central block on the wall rather than a long, narrow strip.
Q: Can the felt take staples as well as pins?
A: Yes. The blue felt accepts both pins and staples, and the woven surface closes back around the holes and stands up well to repeated use. Notices can come down and go back up across a whole term or quarter without the felt losing condition or starting to look worn.
Q: What makes this noticeboard a greener choice?
A: The board is built in the UK from 100% recycled materials, including the light wood-effect frame, which cuts the new plastic a conventional board relies on. That lowers the environmental impact of a central fixture, suiting schools, councils and offices working toward ESG or sustainability targets.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1861B?
A: Both are the same blue felt and non-magnetic dry-wipe combination board. The NB1859B is the 1200 by 1200mm format with balanced even halves, while the NB1861B is a 1200 by 900mm landscape board. Choose the square board for a central feature wall, or the landscape board for a broader, shorter wall space.
Q: Is the board suitable for a school or community hub?
A: Yes. Schools pin timetables and pupil work to the blue felt and write daily tasks on the dry-wipe half, while community hubs keep public notices and event posters on the felt with updates on the writing side. The balanced format works well as a central display in a spot where people naturally gather.
Q: How are the two surfaces cleaned and looked after?
A: Wipe the dry-wipe half with a dry cloth after use, and a whiteboard-safe cleaner lifts heavier marks and prevents ghosting. The blue felt needs only an occasional light brush or vacuum to stay fresh. Using quality dry-wipe markers rather than permanent pens keeps the writing surface in good condition.
Q: Is the board available with free UK delivery and a guarantee?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery and a two-year guarantee. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, councils and offices with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders across several rooms can be arranged directly through our team.
Q: Does it come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. The same combination board comes in other felt colours and in several sizes, from a 1200 by 900mm landscape up to a larger 1500 by 1200mm NB1864BL. Choose this 1200 by 1200mm blue board for a central feature wall, or pick a landscape size to suit the space available.
Guides to Noticeboards, Displays and Organised Spaces
A combination board works best when the surfaces, size and place on the wall match the room.

Overview
A Square Blue Combination Board for a Feature Wall
A square board reads differently from a long one, giving close to equal space on each side, so the pinning half and the writing half each get a full, balanced area rather than one of them being squeezed down into a thin strip. The NB1859B puts that to work, pairing a bold blue felt pinboard with a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard, so a focal wall in a classroom, a community hub or a civic office can carry a proper run of notices and posters on the felt and still keep a generous writing space alongside for the day's messages. The deep blue felt sits cleanly behind pinned posters and schedules, giving an organised backdrop on a board that quickly becomes a natural point of reference for the whole room. Both halves sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer, more natural look than plain plastic and a lower-impact choice besides. The board is made in the UK and arrives ready to hang with concealed wall fixings supplied. A two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for schools, community hubs and eco-conscious offices where a board needs to act as a central, balanced display rather than just a narrow strip on the wall.
