One Blue Board for Notices and Quick Updates
A communal wall in a busy building has a lot to carry, so a board with space to spread out makes a real difference. The NB1861B gives that room across a generous landscape surface, splitting the face between a vibrant blue felt pinboard for notices, updates and posters and a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel for handwritten messages, so a corridor, a meeting room or a communal hub can show standing information and live daily updates side by side without needing two separate boards. The extra surface over a compact board means more notices stay pinned at once and more space is free for writing, which suits a high-traffic spot where several things need to be on show together. The deep blue felt reads cleanly behind printed sheets, keeping a busy board looking organised rather than cluttered. Both surfaces sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer, more natural look than plain plastic and a lower-impact choice as well. The board is made in the UK and arrives ready to hang in landscape with a wall mount kit supplied. A two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for schools, council buildings and green office interiors where a communal wall has to pin and write at scale.
Why This Blue Combination Board Earns Its Place
- Room to spread out: The larger landscape surface holds more pinned notices and frees more writing space than a compact board, so a busy communal wall keeps several things on show at once without running out of room.
- Pinboard and writing together: A blue felt half and a dry-wipe half share one board, so standing notices and live messages sit side by side on one board rather than needing two separate units mounted alongside.
- Blue felt that stays tidy: The deep blue surface sits quietly behind pinned posters and printed sheets, giving an organised backdrop that keeps a heavily used board looking clear rather than busy in a corridor or hub.
- Recycled and UK-made: A light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, manufactured in the UK, offers a greener and warmer alternative to a fully plastic board, supporting an organisation working to its sustainability goals.
- Non-magnetic dry-wipe half: The writing panel takes standard dry-wipe markers and wipes clean for the next note, though the surface does not hold magnets, so plan to pin on the blue felt side rather than magnet to the board.
- Light to handle, easy to mount: A board that stays light to handle, with a wall mount kit supplied, hangs in landscape across a communal wall and can be moved or relocated by one person if a space is reorganised.
Where This Blue Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Schools and Corridors | School corridors and halls need a board big enough for the week's notices alongside a space for daily messages. The blue felt holds timetables, letters and pupil work together, while the dry-wipe half carries the date, reminders and changing announcements. |
| Council and Public Buildings | Public areas post a lot of information that must stay clear and current. The felt presents notices, leaflets and event posters across a generous surface, the dry-wipe side takes updates such as opening times, and the calm blue keeps a busy wall organised. |
| Coworking and Green Offices | Shared offices that track sustainability targets want fixtures that match. The reclaimed-material board holds team notices and schedules on the felt and live to-dos on the writing half, doing the communal job while keeping the environmental impact low. |
| Libraries and Communal Hubs | Libraries and communal hubs share notices, events and reading lists with a steady stream of visitors. The blue felt keeps material on show where people pass, and the dry-wipe panel handles changing information such as session times or room moves. |
| Meeting and Breakout Rooms | Meeting spaces juggle reference material and live planning at once. Pinning the agenda and figures to the blue felt keeps them visible across the room, while the dry-wipe half gives plenty of space for ideas and notes during a session. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | An entrance wall has to share key information while staying tidy. The blue felt presents notices and welcome material neatly across the board, the writing half handles changing messages, and the wood-effect frame gives a softer, less industrial look. |
Need a Smaller or Larger Size?
For a tighter wall, the 600 x 900mm blue board is a compact step down. For an even bigger surface, the 1500 x 1200mm blue board steps up again.

The Displaysense NB1861B is an Eco-Friendly Combination Blue Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A 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 900mm, weight 6kg, landscape orientation. Blue felt pinboard, non-magnetic dry-wipe writing surface, recycled wood-effect frame, wall mount kit supplied, two-year guarantee. Best suited for schools, council buildings, coworking spaces and green office interiors where a communal wall pins and writes at scale. Also available in a smaller 600 x 900mm size such as the NB1860B and a larger 1500 x 1200mm size such as the NB1864BL. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Width is the thing that sets this board apart from a compact one. A wide landscape face gives a communal wall a good deal more room to work with than a compact board does, so a good deal more notices stay pinned at the same time and more space stays free for writing, without the constant shuffle of taking one thing down simply to put another one up. In a corridor, a shared hub or a meeting room where several things all need to be on show together, that extra surface is the difference between a board that comfortably keeps up with a busy space and one that fills the very moment the board goes up on the wall.
Divide that width in two and the board covers both kinds of message at once. One half is blue felt for pinning, the other a dry-wipe panel for writing, so the standing notices and the live daily updates share a single wide unit rather than competing for room on one surface. The deep blue tone does quiet work behind the pinned material, sitting back so posters and printed sheets read clearly against the felt instead of fighting a bright or busy backing colour, which keeps even a heavily used communal board looking clear and organised.
Push a pin into the blue felt and the surface holds firm, ready for notices, posters and printed sheets across the wider pin area. The dry-wipe half works the other way, taking standard markers for handwritten messages and wiping clean for the next note, though that writing surface is non-magnetic. Magnets will not hold on the panel, so the rule of thumb is simple, pin to the felt and write on the whiteboard, and the two halves between them cover just about anything a busy communal wall needs to put on show.
Look past the surfaces and the build is where the green thinking shows. The light wood-effect frame uses recycled stock and is built here in the UK, cutting the new plastic a conventional board leans on and giving a warmer, more natural finish than a bare plastic edge. The board stays light for the width on offer, hangs in landscape with a supplied wall mount kit, and can be taken down or shifted by a single member of staff when a room changes around. A full two-year guarantee reflects a unit built for steady, repeated daily use in a busy setting.

Full specifications for the NB1861B eco-friendly combination blue felt noticeboard with whiteboard. A wide dual-surface board that sets a blue felt pinboard alongside a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel, held in a recycled wood-effect frame produced here in the UK. A full two-year surface and frame guarantee covers the board against everyday use.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 1200mm (W) x 900mm (H) | A wide dual-surface board with room for a good deal more pinned notices, and more free writing space, than a smaller compact board can offer on its face. |
| Surfaces | Blue felt pinboard plus non-magnetic dry-wipe | One half pins up the standing notices and the other half takes the daily writing, so a single wide board both displays and updates together on one shared wall. |
| Felt Surface | Blue felt pinboard | A wide blue ground that holds posters, notices and cards on pins right across its face, with a calm deep-blue backing that keeps the pinned content readable. |
| Whiteboard Surface | Non-magnetic dry-wipe | Takes any standard dry-wipe marker and erases to a clean panel for reuse, though the surface will not hold magnets, so fix any items on the felt side instead. |
| Pinning the Felt | Pins on the felt | Notices attach to the blue felt with push pins, so paper sheets pin up across the wider felt area and then lift off again cleanly afterwards. |
| 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. |
| Frame | Light wood-effect, recycled plastic | A warm oak-tone finish that softens the look of the board on a wall and suits a home, a school or a busy office far better than bare plastic. |
| Orientation | Landscape | A wide landscape layout that mounts horizontally, setting the felt and the writing halves neatly side by side across the wall. |
| Weight | 6kg | Light for a board of this width, so a single person can hang it on their own and relocate it later if a communal space is reorganised. |
| Mounting | Wall mount kit included | The wall mount kit comes supplied in the pack, so the board hangs cleanly with nothing extra to buy before fitting it. |
| Guarantee | 2-year guarantee | Two full years of cover give genuine reassurance for a board kept in steady daily use at home, in a school or in a busy office. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Wide Blue Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best combination noticeboard for a busy communal wall?
A: A wide combination board, like the NB1861B, suits a busy communal wall. The 1200 by 900mm surface gives room for more pinned notices and more writing space, splitting between a blue felt pinboard and a non-magnetic dry-wipe half. The board weighs 6kg and carries a full two-year guarantee.
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 securely on pins, while the dry-wipe panel takes marker for handwritten messages and then wipes clean again for the next note.
Q: How big is the board, and which way does it mount?
A: The board measures 1200mm by 900mm and weighs 6kg, a wide size for a corridor, communal hub or meeting room. A wall mount kit is supplied, and the board is designed to mount horizontally in landscape, with the blue felt and writing halves set side by side across the wall.
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 damp cloth. For anything that needs fixing in place, use the blue felt half with push pins instead.
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 communal fixture, suiting schools, councils and offices working toward ESG or sustainability targets.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1860B?
A: Both are the same blue felt and non-magnetic dry-wipe combination board. The NB1861B is the wider 1200 by 900mm size with more pin and writing space, while the NB1860B is a compact 600 by 900mm. Choose this wider board for a busy communal wall, or the smaller one for a tight corner or above a desk.
Q: Is the board suitable for a school corridor or public building?
A: Yes. School corridors pin timetables, letters and pupil work to the wide blue felt and write daily messages on the dry-wipe half, while public buildings keep notices and event posters on the felt and take updates on the writing side. The wide surface suits a busy communal wall that has a lot to show at once.
Q: How much can the wider board hold compared with a compact one?
A: The 1200 by 900mm surface gives noticeably more pin and writing area than a 600 by 900mm board, so more notices stay up at once and there is more room left over for writing. That suits a communal hub that has to keep many items on display at the same time without constant rearranging.
Q: Is the board heavy to put up?
A: No. At 6kg the board is easy to handle for a board this wide, so a single person can hang the board with the supplied wall mount kit and move the board on later if a space is reorganised. The recycled wood-effect frame keeps the weight down while giving a warm, natural finish across the wall.
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 this 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 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 compact 600 by 900mm up to a larger 1500 by 1200mm NB1864BL. Choose this 1200 by 900mm blue board for a wide communal wall, or step up or down a size to suit the space.
Guides to Noticeboards, Whiteboards and Tidy Workspaces
A wide combination board works best when the surfaces, size and place on the wall match the room. It helps to know how to choose the right noticeboard, how to pick a whiteboard for a workspace, and how clear storage and a well-set study area keep a busy space in order. These guides cover choosing a board and organising the room around it.

The extra surface over a compact board means more notices stay pinned at once and more space is free for writing, which suits a high-traffic spot where several things need to be on show together. The deep blue felt reads cleanly behind printed sheets, keeping a busy board looking organised rather than cluttered. Both surfaces sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer, more natural look than plain plastic and a lower-impact choice as well. The board is made in the UK and arrives ready to hang in landscape with a wall mount kit supplied. A two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for schools, council buildings and green office interiors where a communal wall has to pin and write at scale.
Why This Blue Combination Board Earns Its Place
- Room to spread out: The larger landscape surface holds more pinned notices and frees more writing space than a compact board, so a busy communal wall keeps several things on show at once without running out of room.
- Pinboard and writing together: A blue felt half and a dry-wipe half share one board, so standing notices and live messages sit side by side on one board rather than needing two separate units mounted alongside.
- Blue felt that stays tidy: The deep blue surface sits quietly behind pinned posters and printed sheets, giving an organised backdrop that keeps a heavily used board looking clear rather than busy in a corridor or hub.
- Recycled and UK-made: A light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, manufactured in the UK, offers a greener and warmer alternative to a fully plastic board, supporting an organisation working to its sustainability goals.
- Non-magnetic dry-wipe half: The writing panel takes standard dry-wipe markers and wipes clean for the next note, though the surface does not hold magnets, so plan to pin on the blue felt side rather than magnet to the board.
- Light to handle, easy to mount: A board that stays light to handle, with a wall mount kit supplied, hangs in landscape across a communal wall and can be moved or relocated by one person if a space is reorganised.
Where This Blue Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Schools and Corridors | School corridors and halls need a board big enough for the week's notices alongside a space for daily messages. The blue felt holds timetables, letters and pupil work together, while the dry-wipe half carries the date, reminders and changing announcements. |
| Council and Public Buildings | Public areas post a lot of information that must stay clear and current. The felt presents notices, leaflets and event posters across a generous surface, the dry-wipe side takes updates such as opening times, and the calm blue keeps a busy wall organised. |
| Coworking and Green Offices | Shared offices that track sustainability targets want fixtures that match. The reclaimed-material board holds team notices and schedules on the felt and live to-dos on the writing half, doing the communal job while keeping the environmental impact low. |
| Libraries and Communal Hubs | Libraries and communal hubs share notices, events and reading lists with a steady stream of visitors. The blue felt keeps material on show where people pass, and the dry-wipe panel handles changing information such as session times or room moves. |
| Meeting and Breakout Rooms | Meeting spaces juggle reference material and live planning at once. Pinning the agenda and figures to the blue felt keeps them visible across the room, while the dry-wipe half gives plenty of space for ideas and notes during a session. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | An entrance wall has to share key information while staying tidy. The blue felt presents notices and welcome material neatly across the board, the writing half handles changing messages, and the wood-effect frame gives a softer, less industrial look. |
Need a Smaller or Larger Size?
For a tighter wall, the 600 x 900mm blue board is a compact step down. For an even bigger surface, the 1500 x 1200mm blue board steps up again.

The Displaysense NB1861B is an Eco-Friendly Combination Blue Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A 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 900mm, weight 6kg, landscape orientation. Blue felt pinboard, non-magnetic dry-wipe writing surface, recycled wood-effect frame, wall mount kit supplied, two-year guarantee. Best suited for schools, council buildings, coworking spaces and green office interiors where a communal wall pins and writes at scale. Also available in a smaller 600 x 900mm size such as the NB1860B and a larger 1500 x 1200mm size such as the NB1864BL. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Width is the thing that sets this board apart from a compact one. A wide landscape face gives a communal wall a good deal more room to work with than a compact board does, so a good deal more notices stay pinned at the same time and more space stays free for writing, without the constant shuffle of taking one thing down simply to put another one up. In a corridor, a shared hub or a meeting room where several things all need to be on show together, that extra surface is the difference between a board that comfortably keeps up with a busy space and one that fills the very moment the board goes up on the wall.
Divide that width in two and the board covers both kinds of message at once. One half is blue felt for pinning, the other a dry-wipe panel for writing, so the standing notices and the live daily updates share a single wide unit rather than competing for room on one surface. The deep blue tone does quiet work behind the pinned material, sitting back so posters and printed sheets read clearly against the felt instead of fighting a bright or busy backing colour, which keeps even a heavily used communal board looking clear and organised.
Push a pin into the blue felt and the surface holds firm, ready for notices, posters and printed sheets across the wider pin area. The dry-wipe half works the other way, taking standard markers for handwritten messages and wiping clean for the next note, though that writing surface is non-magnetic. Magnets will not hold on the panel, so the rule of thumb is simple, pin to the felt and write on the whiteboard, and the two halves between them cover just about anything a busy communal wall needs to put on show.
Look past the surfaces and the build is where the green thinking shows. The light wood-effect frame uses recycled stock and is built here in the UK, cutting the new plastic a conventional board leans on and giving a warmer, more natural finish than a bare plastic edge. The board stays light for the width on offer, hangs in landscape with a supplied wall mount kit, and can be taken down or shifted by a single member of staff when a room changes around. A full two-year guarantee reflects a unit built for steady, repeated daily use in a busy setting.

Full specifications for the NB1861B eco-friendly combination blue felt noticeboard with whiteboard. A wide dual-surface board that sets a blue felt pinboard alongside a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel, held in a recycled wood-effect frame produced here in the UK. A full two-year surface and frame guarantee covers the board against everyday use.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 1200mm (W) x 900mm (H) | A wide dual-surface board with room for a good deal more pinned notices, and more free writing space, than a smaller compact board can offer on its face. |
| Surfaces | Blue felt pinboard plus non-magnetic dry-wipe | One half pins up the standing notices and the other half takes the daily writing, so a single wide board both displays and updates together on one shared wall. |
| Felt Surface | Blue felt pinboard | A wide blue ground that holds posters, notices and cards on pins right across its face, with a calm deep-blue backing that keeps the pinned content readable. |
| Whiteboard Surface | Non-magnetic dry-wipe | Takes any standard dry-wipe marker and erases to a clean panel for reuse, though the surface will not hold magnets, so fix any items on the felt side instead. |
| Pinning the Felt | Pins on the felt | Notices attach to the blue felt with push pins, so paper sheets pin up across the wider felt area and then lift off again cleanly afterwards. |
| 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. |
| Frame | Light wood-effect, recycled plastic | A warm oak-tone finish that softens the look of the board on a wall and suits a home, a school or a busy office far better than bare plastic. |
| Orientation | Landscape | A wide landscape layout that mounts horizontally, setting the felt and the writing halves neatly side by side across the wall. |
| Weight | 6kg | Light for a board of this width, so a single person can hang it on their own and relocate it later if a communal space is reorganised. |
| Mounting | Wall mount kit included | The wall mount kit comes supplied in the pack, so the board hangs cleanly with nothing extra to buy before fitting it. |
| Guarantee | 2-year guarantee | Two full years of cover give genuine reassurance for a board kept in steady daily use at home, in a school or in a busy office. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Wide Blue Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best combination noticeboard for a busy communal wall?
A: A wide combination board, like the NB1861B, suits a busy communal wall. The 1200 by 900mm surface gives room for more pinned notices and more writing space, splitting between a blue felt pinboard and a non-magnetic dry-wipe half. The board weighs 6kg and carries a full two-year guarantee.
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 securely on pins, while the dry-wipe panel takes marker for handwritten messages and then wipes clean again for the next note.
Q: How big is the board, and which way does it mount?
A: The board measures 1200mm by 900mm and weighs 6kg, a wide size for a corridor, communal hub or meeting room. A wall mount kit is supplied, and the board is designed to mount horizontally in landscape, with the blue felt and writing halves set side by side across the wall.
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 damp cloth. For anything that needs fixing in place, use the blue felt half with push pins instead.
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 communal fixture, suiting schools, councils and offices working toward ESG or sustainability targets.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1860B?
A: Both are the same blue felt and non-magnetic dry-wipe combination board. The NB1861B is the wider 1200 by 900mm size with more pin and writing space, while the NB1860B is a compact 600 by 900mm. Choose this wider board for a busy communal wall, or the smaller one for a tight corner or above a desk.
Q: Is the board suitable for a school corridor or public building?
A: Yes. School corridors pin timetables, letters and pupil work to the wide blue felt and write daily messages on the dry-wipe half, while public buildings keep notices and event posters on the felt and take updates on the writing side. The wide surface suits a busy communal wall that has a lot to show at once.
Q: How much can the wider board hold compared with a compact one?
A: The 1200 by 900mm surface gives noticeably more pin and writing area than a 600 by 900mm board, so more notices stay up at once and there is more room left over for writing. That suits a communal hub that has to keep many items on display at the same time without constant rearranging.
Q: Is the board heavy to put up?
A: No. At 6kg the board is easy to handle for a board this wide, so a single person can hang the board with the supplied wall mount kit and move the board on later if a space is reorganised. The recycled wood-effect frame keeps the weight down while giving a warm, natural finish across the wall.
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 this 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 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 compact 600 by 900mm up to a larger 1500 by 1200mm NB1864BL. Choose this 1200 by 900mm blue board for a wide communal wall, or step up or down a size to suit the space.
Guides to Noticeboards, Whiteboards and Tidy Workspaces
A wide combination board works best when the surfaces, size and place on the wall match the room.

School corridors pin timetables, letters and pupil work to the wide blue felt and write daily messages on the dry-wipe half, while public buildings keep notices and event posters on the felt and take updates on the writing side.
