A Blue Felt and Whiteboard Combo for Busy Shared Walls
A shared wall has two jobs to do at once, holding the things that stay up for a while and taking the things that change every day. The NB1860B splits a compact board between the two, a blue felt pinboard on one half for notices, posters and memos that need to stay put, and a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel on the other for daily updates, reminders and quick messages. The deep blue felt reads cleanly behind printed sheets and pinned notes, giving a calm, organised backdrop that suits a busy entrance, a classroom corner or a shared office wall, while the wipe-clean half keeps the moving information of the day looking fresh and current. Both surfaces sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer, more natural look than a plain plastic board and a greener choice as well. The board is made in the UK and arrives in a compact wall-mounted size with concealed wall fixings supplied, ready to hang in portrait or landscape to suit the space. A full two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for schools, offices and shared community spaces where one wall has to both pin and write at the same time.
Why a Blue Combination Board Works on a Shared Wall
- One board, two jobs: A blue felt pinboard and a dry-wipe panel share a single compact unit, so one wall both holds the standing notices and takes the daily writing without needing two separate boards mounted up side by side.
- Blue felt that reads cleanly: The deep blue surface sits quietly behind pinned posters and printed sheets, giving an organised backdrop that keeps a busy noticeboard looking tidy rather than cluttered in a shared entrance or corridor.
- Pins and Velcro both hold: The felt half takes push pins and Velcro fasteners, so notices, fabric-backed cards and lightweight displays all attach securely and come down again cleanly when the wall needs refreshing.
- Recycled, UK-made build: A light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, manufactured in the UK, offers a greener and warmer alternative to a fully plastic board while keeping everyday practicality intact.
- 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 felt side rather than magnet anything to the board.
- Compact and easy to hang: At a tidy size with concealed wall fixings supplied, the board mounts in either portrait or landscape and fits a hallway, kitchen, study or shared office where a full-wall board would simply be too much.
Where This Blue Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Schools and Classrooms | Classroom corners need a spot for the week's notices and a space for the day's reminders. Pinned timetables and pupil work stay on the blue felt while the dry-wipe half carries the date, tasks and quick messages that change through the school day. |
| Offices and Shared Workspaces | Team walls juggle rotas, policies and live to-dos at once. Standing notices and printed sheets pin to the felt while the wipe-clean panel tracks the moving work of the day, keeping both kinds of information on one tidy shared board. |
| Council and Community Buildings | Public areas post information that has to stay clear and current. The felt holds notices, leaflets and event posters securely, the dry-wipe side takes updates such as opening times or room changes, and the calm blue keeps the wall looking organised. |
| Homes and Home Offices | Family and home-working walls collect appointments, post and reminders fast. Pinning the week's letters and cards to the felt and writing the day's list on the wipe-clean half keeps a busy household or desk corner in order without clutter. |
| Student Halls and Study Rooms | Study spaces benefit from a board that pins reference material and takes working notes together. Revision plans and printouts hold on the blue felt while the dry-wipe panel carries deadlines and daily goals, all on a compact wall-mounted unit. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | An entrance wall needs to look tidy while sharing current information. The blue felt presents notices and welcome material neatly, the writing half handles changing messages, and the wood-effect frame gives a softer look than an industrial board. |
Want Another Colour or a Larger Size?
For the same board in a warmer tone, the red felt noticeboard is a colour alternative. For a bigger wall, the 1500 x 1200mm blue board steps up the surface.

The Displaysense NB1860B is an Eco-Friendly Combination Blue Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A compact 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 600mm x 900mm, weight 4kg, landscape or portrait mounting. Blue felt pinboard compatible with push pins and Velcro, non-magnetic dry-wipe writing surface, recycled wood-effect frame, concealed wall fixings supplied, two-year guarantee. Best suited for schools, offices, council buildings and shared community spaces needing one wall to pin and write at once. Also available in other felt colours such as the red NB1860R and in larger sizes such as the 1500 x 1200mm NB1864BL. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Split a board down the middle and the surface stops being one thing and starts doing two. One half of this unit is blue felt for pinning, the other a dry-wipe panel for writing, so the wall handles both the notices that stay up for weeks at a time and the messages that change by the hour, all on a single shared surface. That division is what makes a combination board useful where space is short, because a hallway, a classroom corner or a desk wall rarely has the room for a separate pinboard and a separate whiteboard side by side, yet the wall still needs both of those jobs done.
Push a pin into the blue felt and the surface grips, and that same felt takes Velcro fasteners just as readily. That gives two ways to fix material, so paper notices and posters go up with pins while fabric-backed cards or light display pieces stick on with Velcro instead, and both pinned and Velcro-backed pieces come away cleanly again when the wall is refreshed for the next week. The deep blue tone is doing quieter work too, sitting back behind whatever is pinned so the content reads clearly rather than competing with a bright or busy backing colour.
Run a marker across the dry-wipe half and the panel wipes away clean, ready for the next note, which suits the changing information a shared wall carries day to day. The one thing to plan around is that this writing surface is non-magnetic, so the panel will not hold magnets; anything that needs fixing goes on the felt side with a pin instead. Knowing that split up front makes the board easy to use well, with pinned material on one half and written, wipe-clean updates on the other.
Look at the frame and the green thinking shows through. The finish is a light wood-effect, built in the UK from recycled stock, a warmer and more natural feel than a bare plastic board and a lower-plastic option besides. The warm wood tone softens how the board sits on a wall, fitting a house, a classroom or a workplace that wants everyday function without a hard, industrial feel. The board is light to handle, comes with concealed wall fixings, and a two-year guarantee reflects a unit built for steady everyday use.

Full specifications for the NB1860B eco-friendly combination blue felt noticeboard with whiteboard.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 600mm (W) x 900mm (H) | A compact dual-surface board that fits neatly into a corner, a hallway or a desk wall in a spot where a full-size board would simply be too large. |
| Surfaces | Blue felt and non-magnetic dry-wipe | One half pins up the standing notices and the other half takes the daily writing, so a single board both displays and updates together on one shared wall. |
| Felt Surface | Blue felt pinboard | Holds posters, notices and cards securely with either push pins or Velcro fasteners, with a calm deep-blue backing that keeps the pinned content easy to read. |
| Whiteboard Surface | Non-magnetic dry-wipe | Works with any dry-wipe marker and erases to a clean panel for reuse, though the surface will not hold magnets, so any items to fix go on the felt side instead. |
| Fixing Methods | Push pins and Velcro | The felt accepts both methods at once, so paper notices pin up and fabric-backed pieces hold on Velcro, then lift away 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 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 an office far better than bare plastic. |
| Orientation | Landscape or portrait | Mounts either way up, so the board fits the available wall space and sets the felt and the writing halves whichever way suits the room. |
| Weight | 4kg | Light enough for one person to lift and hang on their own, and to move between rooms or take down again in a rented home or office. |
| Mounting | Concealed wall fixings supplied | Fixings come supplied in the pack and sit out of sight behind the board, so it hangs cleanly with nothing extra to buy first. |
| 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 Blue Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best small noticeboard for both pinning and writing?
A: A combination board, like the NB1860B, suits both pinning and writing. One half is blue felt for pinning notices and the other a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel for writing, so a single 600 by 900mm board does two jobs. The unit weighs 4kg, mounts either way, and carries a two-year guarantee.
Q: What surfaces does the board have?
A: The board is split between two surfaces, blue felt for pinning across one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard across the other. The felt holds notices, posters and cards with pins or Velcro, while the dry-wipe panel takes marker for daily updates and rubs off again ready 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 cloth. For anything that needs fixing in place, use the blue felt half with push pins or Velcro instead.
Q: Can I use Velcro as well as pins on the felt?
A: Yes. The blue felt half takes both push pins and Velcro fasteners. Paper notices and posters pin up directly, while fabric-backed cards or lightweight display pieces hold on Velcro. Both fixing methods lift away cleanly, so the felt can be refreshed without leaving marks or damage on the surface.
Q: What makes this noticeboard a greener choice?
A: The wood-effect frame is produced in the UK and made up of recycled material, which cuts plastic use next to a fully plastic board. The recycled build and UK manufacture make this a more sustainable option for schools, offices and homes looking to buy with the environment in mind.
Q: How big is the board, and which way does it mount?
A: The board measures 600mm by 900mm and weighs 4kg, a compact size for a corner, hallway or desk wall. Concealed wall fixings are supplied, and the board hangs in portrait or in landscape, so the felt and writing halves can be set whichever way suits the wall and the room.
Q: Is the board suitable for a classroom or shared office?
A: Yes. Classrooms pin timetables and pupil work to the felt and write the day's tasks on the dry-wipe half, while shared offices hold rotas and notices on the felt and track live to-dos on the writing side. The compact size suits a corner or shared wall where a full-size board would be too large.
Q: What is the difference between the blue and red felt versions?
A: Both are the same 600 by 900mm combination board with a felt pinboard and a non-magnetic dry-wipe half. The NB1860B has a blue felt surface, while the NB1860R has red felt. Choose blue for a calm, cool backdrop in an office or hallway, or red for a warmer, higher-contrast pin surface.
Q: Is the board good for a rented home or temporary setup?
A: Yes. At 4kg the board is light to hang and to take down again, and the concealed fixings leave a tidy wall. That suits a rented home, a student hall or a temporary office where a board may need to move on, since one person can mount or remove the unit without specialist tools.
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, offices and community buildings 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, such as the red NB1860R, and in larger sizes such as the 1500 by 1200mm NB1864BL. Choose this 600 by 900mm blue board for a compact wall, or step up to a larger size where a wall needs more pin and writing space.

Overview
A Blue Felt and Whiteboard Combo for Busy Shared Walls
A shared wall has two jobs to do at once, holding the things that stay up for a while and taking the things that change every day. The NB1860B splits a compact board between the two, a blue felt pinboard on one half for notices, posters and memos that need to stay put, and a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel on the other for daily updates, reminders and quick messages. The deep blue felt reads cleanly behind printed sheets and pinned notes, giving a calm, organised backdrop that suits a busy entrance, a classroom corner or a shared office wall, while the wipe-clean half keeps the moving information of the day looking fresh and current. Both surfaces sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer, more natural look than a plain plastic board and a greener choice as well. The board is made in the UK and arrives in a compact wall-mounted size with concealed wall fixings supplied, ready to hang in portrait or landscape to suit the space. A full two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for schools, offices and shared community spaces where one wall has to both pin and write at the same time.
Why a Blue Combination Board Works on a Shared Wall
- One board, two jobs: A blue felt pinboard and a dry-wipe panel share a single compact unit, so one wall both holds the standing notices and takes the daily writing without needing two separate boards mounted up side by side.
- Blue felt that reads cleanly: The deep blue surface sits quietly behind pinned posters and printed sheets, giving an organised backdrop that keeps a busy noticeboard looking tidy rather than cluttered in a shared entrance or corridor.
- Pins and Velcro both hold: The felt half takes push pins and Velcro fasteners, so notices, fabric-backed cards and lightweight displays all attach securely and come down again cleanly when the wall needs refreshing.
- Recycled, UK-made build: A light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, manufactured in the UK, offers a greener and warmer alternative to a fully plastic board while keeping everyday practicality intact.
- 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 felt side rather than magnet anything to the board.
- Compact and easy to hang: At a tidy size with concealed wall fixings supplied, the board mounts in either portrait or landscape and fits a hallway, kitchen, study or shared office where a full-wall board would simply be too much.
Where This Blue Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Schools and Classrooms | Classroom corners need a spot for the week's notices and a space for the day's reminders. Pinned timetables and pupil work stay on the blue felt while the dry-wipe half carries the date, tasks and quick messages that change through the school day. |
| Offices and Shared Workspaces | Team walls juggle rotas, policies and live to-dos at once. Standing notices and printed sheets pin to the felt while the wipe-clean panel tracks the moving work of the day, keeping both kinds of information on one tidy shared board. |
| Council and Community Buildings | Public areas post information that has to stay clear and current. The felt holds notices, leaflets and event posters securely, the dry-wipe side takes updates such as opening times or room changes, and the calm blue keeps the wall looking organised. |
| Homes and Home Offices | Family and home-working walls collect appointments, post and reminders fast. Pinning the week's letters and cards to the felt and writing the day's list on the wipe-clean half keeps a busy household or desk corner in order without clutter. |
| Student Halls and Study Rooms | Study spaces benefit from a board that pins reference material and takes working notes together. Revision plans and printouts hold on the blue felt while the dry-wipe panel carries deadlines and daily goals, all on a compact wall-mounted unit. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | An entrance wall needs to look tidy while sharing current information. The blue felt presents notices and welcome material neatly, the writing half handles changing messages, and the wood-effect frame gives a softer look than an industrial board. |

Description
Split a board down the middle and the surface stops being one thing and starts doing two. One half of this unit is blue felt for pinning, the other a dry-wipe panel for writing, so the wall handles both the notices that stay up for weeks at a time and the messages that change by the hour, all on a single shared surface. That division is what makes a combination board useful where space is short, because a hallway, a classroom corner or a desk wall rarely has the room for a separate pinboard and a separate whiteboard side by side, yet the wall still needs both of those jobs done.
Push a pin into the blue felt and the surface grips, and that same felt takes Velcro fasteners just as readily. That gives two ways to fix material, so paper notices and posters go up with pins while fabric-backed cards or light display pieces stick on with Velcro instead, and both pinned and Velcro-backed pieces come away cleanly again when the wall is refreshed for the next week. The deep blue tone is doing quieter work too, sitting back behind whatever is pinned so the content reads clearly rather than competing with a bright or busy backing colour.
Run a marker across the dry-wipe half and the panel wipes away clean, ready for the next note, which suits the changing information a shared wall carries day to day. The one thing to plan around is that this writing surface is non-magnetic, so the panel will not hold magnets; anything that needs fixing goes on the felt side with a pin instead. Knowing that split up front makes the board easy to use well, with pinned material on one half and written, wipe-clean updates on the other.
Look at the frame and the green thinking shows through. The finish is a light wood-effect, built in the UK from recycled stock, a warmer and more natural feel than a bare plastic board and a lower-plastic option besides. The warm wood tone softens how the board sits on a wall, fitting a house, a classroom or a workplace that wants everyday function without a hard, industrial feel. The board is light to handle, comes with concealed wall fixings, and a two-year guarantee reflects a unit built for steady everyday use.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Blue Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best small noticeboard for both pinning and writing?
A: A combination board, like the NB1860B, suits both pinning and writing. One half is blue felt for pinning notices and the other a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel for writing, so a single 600 by 900mm board does two jobs. The unit weighs 4kg, mounts either way, and carries a two-year guarantee.
Q: What surfaces does the board have?
A: The board is split between two surfaces, blue felt for pinning across one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard across the other. The felt holds notices, posters and cards with pins or Velcro, while the dry-wipe panel takes marker for daily updates and rubs off again ready 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 cloth. For anything that needs fixing in place, use the blue felt half with push pins or Velcro instead.
Q: Can I use Velcro as well as pins on the felt?
A: Yes. The blue felt half takes both push pins and Velcro fasteners. Paper notices and posters pin up directly, while fabric-backed cards or lightweight display pieces hold on Velcro. Both fixing methods lift away cleanly, so the felt can be refreshed without leaving marks or damage on the surface.
Q: What makes this noticeboard a greener choice?
A: The wood-effect frame is produced in the UK and made up of recycled material, which cuts plastic use next to a fully plastic board. The recycled build and UK manufacture make this a more sustainable option for schools, offices and homes looking to buy with the environment in mind.
Q: How big is the board, and which way does it mount?
A: The board measures 600mm by 900mm and weighs 4kg, a compact size for a corner, hallway or desk wall. Concealed wall fixings are supplied, and the board hangs in portrait or in landscape, so the felt and writing halves can be set whichever way suits the wall and the room.
Q: Is the board suitable for a classroom or shared office?
A: Yes. Classrooms pin timetables and pupil work to the felt and write the day's tasks on the dry-wipe half, while shared offices hold rotas and notices on the felt and track live to-dos on the writing side. The compact size suits a corner or shared wall where a full-size board would be too large.
Q: What is the difference between the blue and red felt versions?
A: Both are the same 600 by 900mm combination board with a felt pinboard and a non-magnetic dry-wipe half. The NB1860B has a blue felt surface, while the NB1860R has red felt. Choose blue for a calm, cool backdrop in an office or hallway, or red for a warmer, higher-contrast pin surface.
Q: Is the board good for a rented home or temporary setup?
A: Yes. At 4kg the board is light to hang and to take down again, and the concealed fixings leave a tidy wall. That suits a rented home, a student hall or a temporary office where a board may need to move on, since one person can mount or remove the unit without specialist tools.
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, offices and community buildings 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, such as the red NB1860R, and in larger sizes such as the 1500 by 1200mm NB1864BL. Choose this 600 by 900mm blue board for a compact wall, or step up to a larger size where a wall needs more pin and writing space.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Blue Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best small noticeboard for both pinning and writing?
A: A combination board, like the NB1860B, suits both pinning and writing. One half is blue felt for pinning notices and the other a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel for writing, so a single 600 by 900mm board does two jobs. The unit weighs 4kg, mounts either way, and carries a two-year guarantee.
Q: What surfaces does the board have?
A: The board is split between two surfaces, blue felt for pinning across one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard across the other. The felt holds notices, posters and cards with pins or Velcro, while the dry-wipe panel takes marker for daily updates and rubs off again ready 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 cloth. For anything that needs fixing in place, use the blue felt half with push pins or Velcro instead.
Q: Can I use Velcro as well as pins on the felt?
A: Yes. The blue felt half takes both push pins and Velcro fasteners. Paper notices and posters pin up directly, while fabric-backed cards or lightweight display pieces hold on Velcro. Both fixing methods lift away cleanly, so the felt can be refreshed without leaving marks or damage on the surface.
Q: What makes this noticeboard a greener choice?
A: The wood-effect frame is produced in the UK and made up of recycled material, which cuts plastic use next to a fully plastic board. The recycled build and UK manufacture make this a more sustainable option for schools, offices and homes looking to buy with the environment in mind.
Q: How big is the board, and which way does it mount?
A: The board measures 600mm by 900mm and weighs 4kg, a compact size for a corner, hallway or desk wall. Concealed wall fixings are supplied, and the board hangs in portrait or in landscape, so the felt and writing halves can be set whichever way suits the wall and the room.
Q: Is the board suitable for a classroom or shared office?
A: Yes. Classrooms pin timetables and pupil work to the felt and write the day's tasks on the dry-wipe half, while shared offices hold rotas and notices on the felt and track live to-dos on the writing side. The compact size suits a corner or shared wall where a full-size board would be too large.
Q: What is the difference between the blue and red felt versions?
A: Both are the same 600 by 900mm combination board with a felt pinboard and a non-magnetic dry-wipe half. The NB1860B has a blue felt surface, while the NB1860R has red felt. Choose blue for a calm, cool backdrop in an office or hallway, or red for a warmer, higher-contrast pin surface.
Q: Is the board good for a rented home or temporary setup?
A: Yes. At 4kg the board is light to hang and to take down again, and the concealed fixings leave a tidy wall. That suits a rented home, a student hall or a temporary office where a board may need to move on, since one person can mount or remove the unit without specialist tools.
Q: How are the two surfaces cleaned and looked after?

A Blue Felt and Whiteboard Combo for Busy Shared Walls
A shared wall has two jobs to do at once, holding the things that stay up for a while and taking the things that change every day. The NB1860B splits a compact board between the two, a blue felt pinboard on one half for notices, posters and memos that need to stay put, and a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel on the other for daily updates, reminders and quick messages. The deep blue felt reads cleanly behind printed sheets and pinned notes, giving a calm, organised backdrop that suits a busy entrance, a classroom corner or a shared office wall, while the wipe-clean half keeps the moving information of the day looking fresh and current. Both surfaces sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer, more natural look than a plain plastic board and a greener choice as well. The board is made in the UK and arrives in a compact wall-mounted size with concealed wall fixings supplied, ready to hang in portrait or landscape to suit the space. A full two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for schools, offices and shared community spaces where one wall has to both pin and write at the same time.
Why a Blue Combination Board Works on a Shared Wall
- One board, two jobs: A blue felt pinboard and a dry-wipe panel share a single compact unit, so one wall both holds the standing notices and takes the daily writing without needing two separate boards mounted up side by side.
- Blue felt that reads cleanly: The deep blue surface sits quietly behind pinned posters and printed sheets, giving an organised backdrop that keeps a busy noticeboard looking tidy rather than cluttered in a shared entrance or corridor.
- Pins and Velcro both hold: The felt half takes push pins and Velcro fasteners, so notices, fabric-backed cards and lightweight displays all attach securely and come down again cleanly when the wall needs refreshing.
- Recycled, UK-made build: A light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, manufactured in the UK, offers a greener and warmer alternative to a fully plastic board while keeping everyday practicality intact.
- 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 felt side rather than magnet anything to the board.
- Compact and easy to hang: At a tidy size with concealed wall fixings supplied, the board mounts in either portrait or landscape and fits a hallway, kitchen, study or shared office where a full-wall board would simply be too much.
Where This Blue Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Schools and Classrooms | Classroom corners need a spot for the week's notices and a space for the day's reminders. Pinned timetables and pupil work stay on the blue felt while the dry-wipe half carries the date, tasks and quick messages that change through the school day. |
| Offices and Shared Workspaces | Team walls juggle rotas, policies and live to-dos at once. Standing notices and printed sheets pin to the felt while the wipe-clean panel tracks the moving work of the day, keeping both kinds of information on one tidy shared board. |
| Council and Community Buildings | Public areas post information that has to stay clear and current. The felt holds notices, leaflets and event posters securely, the dry-wipe side takes updates such as opening times or room changes, and the calm blue keeps the wall looking organised. |
| Homes and Home Offices | Family and home-working walls collect appointments, post and reminders fast. Pinning the week's letters and cards to the felt and writing the day's list on the wipe-clean half keeps a busy household or desk corner in order without clutter. |
| Student Halls and Study Rooms | Study spaces benefit from a board that pins reference material and takes working notes together. Revision plans and printouts hold on the blue felt while the dry-wipe panel carries deadlines and daily goals, all on a compact wall-mounted unit. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | An entrance wall needs to look tidy while sharing current information. The blue felt presents notices and welcome material neatly, the writing half handles changing messages, and the wood-effect frame gives a softer look than an industrial board. |
Want Another Colour or a Larger Size?
For the same board in a warmer tone, the red felt noticeboard is a colour alternative. For a bigger wall, the 1500 x 1200mm blue board steps up the surface.

The Displaysense NB1860B is an Eco-Friendly Combination Blue Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A compact 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 600mm x 900mm, weight 4kg, landscape or portrait mounting. Blue felt pinboard compatible with push pins and Velcro, non-magnetic dry-wipe writing surface, recycled wood-effect frame, concealed wall fixings supplied, two-year guarantee. Best suited for schools, offices, council buildings and shared community spaces needing one wall to pin and write at once. Also available in other felt colours such as the red NB1860R and in larger sizes such as the 1500 x 1200mm NB1864BL. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Split a board down the middle and the surface stops being one thing and starts doing two. One half of this unit is blue felt for pinning, the other a dry-wipe panel for writing, so the wall handles both the notices that stay up for weeks at a time and the messages that change by the hour, all on a single shared surface. That division is what makes a combination board useful where space is short, because a hallway, a classroom corner or a desk wall rarely has the room for a separate pinboard and a separate whiteboard side by side, yet the wall still needs both of those jobs done.
Push a pin into the blue felt and the surface grips, and that same felt takes Velcro fasteners just as readily. That gives two ways to fix material, so paper notices and posters go up with pins while fabric-backed cards or light display pieces stick on with Velcro instead, and both pinned and Velcro-backed pieces come away cleanly again when the wall is refreshed for the next week. The deep blue tone is doing quieter work too, sitting back behind whatever is pinned so the content reads clearly rather than competing with a bright or busy backing colour.
Run a marker across the dry-wipe half and the panel wipes away clean, ready for the next note, which suits the changing information a shared wall carries day to day. The one thing to plan around is that this writing surface is non-magnetic, so the panel will not hold magnets; anything that needs fixing goes on the felt side with a pin instead. Knowing that split up front makes the board easy to use well, with pinned material on one half and written, wipe-clean updates on the other.
Look at the frame and the green thinking shows through. The finish is a light wood-effect, built in the UK from recycled stock, a warmer and more natural feel than a bare plastic board and a lower-plastic option besides. The warm wood tone softens how the board sits on a wall, fitting a house, a classroom or a workplace that wants everyday function without a hard, industrial feel. The board is light to handle, comes with concealed wall fixings, and a two-year guarantee reflects a unit built for steady everyday use.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 600mm (W) x 900mm (H) | A compact dual-surface board that fits neatly into a corner, a hallway or a desk wall in a spot where a full-size board would simply be too large. |
| Surfaces | Blue felt and non-magnetic dry-wipe | One half pins up the standing notices and the other half takes the daily writing, so a single board both displays and updates together on one shared wall. |
| Felt Surface | Blue felt pinboard | Holds posters, notices and cards securely with either push pins or Velcro fasteners, with a calm deep-blue backing that keeps the pinned content easy to read. |
| Whiteboard Surface | Non-magnetic dry-wipe | Works with any dry-wipe marker and erases to a clean panel for reuse, though the surface will not hold magnets, so any items to fix go on the felt side instead. |
| Fixing Methods | Push pins and Velcro | The felt accepts both methods at once, so paper notices pin up and fabric-backed pieces hold on Velcro, then lift away 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 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 an office far better than bare plastic. |
| Orientation | Landscape or portrait | Mounts either way up, so the board fits the available wall space and sets the felt and the writing halves whichever way suits the room. |
| Weight | 4kg | Light enough for one person to lift and hang on their own, and to move between rooms or take down again in a rented home or office. |
| Mounting | Concealed wall fixings supplied | Fixings come supplied in the pack and sit out of sight behind the board, so it hangs cleanly with nothing extra to buy first. |
| 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. |

Q: How big is the board, and which way does it mount?
A: The board measures 600mm by 900mm and weighs 4kg, a compact size for a corner, hallway or desk wall. Concealed wall fixings are supplied, and the board hangs in portrait or in landscape, so the felt and writing halves can be set whichever way suits the wall and the room.
Q: Is the board suitable for a classroom or shared office?
A: Yes. Classrooms pin timetables and pupil work to the felt and write the day's tasks on the dry-wipe half, while shared offices hold rotas and notices on the felt and track live to-dos on the writing side. The compact size suits a corner or shared wall where a full-size board would be too large.
Q: What is the difference between the blue and red felt versions?
A: Both are the same 600 by 900mm combination board with a felt pinboard and a non-magnetic dry-wipe half. The NB1860B has a blue felt surface, while the NB1860R has red felt. Choose blue for a calm, cool backdrop in an office or hallway, or red for a warmer, higher-contrast pin surface.
Q: Is the board good for a rented home or temporary setup?
A: Yes. At 4kg the board is light to hang and to take down again, and the concealed fixings leave a tidy wall. That suits a rented home, a student hall or a temporary office where a board may need to move on, since one person can mount or remove the unit without specialist tools.
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, offices and community buildings with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders across several rooms can be arranged through our team.

Overview
A Blue Felt and Whiteboard Combo for Busy Shared Walls
A shared wall has two jobs to do at once, holding the things that stay up for a while and taking the things that change every day. The NB1860B splits a compact board between the two, a blue felt pinboard on one half for notices, posters and memos that need to stay put, and a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel on the other for daily updates, reminders and quick messages. The deep blue felt reads cleanly behind printed sheets and pinned notes, giving a calm, organised backdrop that suits a busy entrance, a classroom corner or a shared office wall, while the wipe-clean half keeps the moving information of the day looking fresh and current. Both surfaces sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer, more natural look than a plain plastic board and a greener choice as well. The board is made in the UK and arrives in a compact wall-mounted size with concealed wall fixings supplied, ready to hang in portrait or landscape to suit the space. A full two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for schools, offices and shared community spaces where one wall has to both pin and write at the same time.
Why a Blue Combination Board Works on a Shared Wall
- One board, two jobs: A blue felt pinboard and a dry-wipe panel share a single compact unit, so one wall both holds the standing notices and takes the daily writing without needing two separate boards mounted up side by side.
- Blue felt that reads cleanly: The deep blue surface sits quietly behind pinned posters and printed sheets, giving an organised backdrop that keeps a busy noticeboard looking tidy rather than cluttered in a shared entrance or corridor.
- Pins and Velcro both hold: The felt half takes push pins and Velcro fasteners, so notices, fabric-backed cards and lightweight displays all attach securely and come down again cleanly when the wall needs refreshing.
- Recycled, UK-made build: A light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, manufactured in the UK, offers a greener and warmer alternative to a fully plastic board while keeping everyday practicality intact.
- 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 felt side rather than magnet anything to the board.
- Compact and easy to hang: At a tidy size with concealed wall fixings supplied, the board mounts in either portrait or landscape and fits a hallway, kitchen, study or shared office where a full-wall board would simply be too much.
Where This Blue Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Schools and Classrooms | Classroom corners need a spot for the week's notices and a space for the day's reminders. Pinned timetables and pupil work stay on the blue felt while the dry-wipe half carries the date, tasks and quick messages that change through the school day. |
| Offices and Shared Workspaces | Team walls juggle rotas, policies and live to-dos at once. Standing notices and printed sheets pin to the felt while the wipe-clean panel tracks the moving work of the day, keeping both kinds of information on one tidy shared board. |
| Council and Community Buildings | Public areas post information that has to stay clear and current. The felt holds notices, leaflets and event posters securely, the dry-wipe side takes updates such as opening times or room changes, and the calm blue keeps the wall looking organised. |
| Homes and Home Offices | Family and home-working walls collect appointments, post and reminders fast. Pinning the week's letters and cards to the felt and writing the day's list on the wipe-clean half keeps a busy household or desk corner in order without clutter. |
| Student Halls and Study Rooms | Study spaces benefit from a board that pins reference material and takes working notes together. Revision plans and printouts hold on the blue felt while the dry-wipe panel carries deadlines and daily goals, all on a compact wall-mounted unit. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | An entrance wall needs to look tidy while sharing current information. The blue felt presents notices and welcome material neatly, the writing half handles changing messages, and the wood-effect frame gives a softer look than an industrial board. |

Description
Split a board down the middle and the surface stops being one thing and starts doing two. One half of this unit is blue felt for pinning, the other a dry-wipe panel for writing, so the wall handles both the notices that stay up for weeks at a time and the messages that change by the hour, all on a single shared surface. That division is what makes a combination board useful where space is short, because a hallway, a classroom corner or a desk wall rarely has the room for a separate pinboard and a separate whiteboard side by side, yet the wall still needs both of those jobs done.
Push a pin into the blue felt and the surface grips, and that same felt takes Velcro fasteners just as readily. That gives two ways to fix material, so paper notices and posters go up with pins while fabric-backed cards or light display pieces stick on with Velcro instead, and both pinned and Velcro-backed pieces come away cleanly again when the wall is refreshed for the next week. The deep blue tone is doing quieter work too, sitting back behind whatever is pinned so the content reads clearly rather than competing with a bright or busy backing colour.
Run a marker across the dry-wipe half and the panel wipes away clean, ready for the next note, which suits the changing information a shared wall carries day to day. The one thing to plan around is that this writing surface is non-magnetic, so the panel will not hold magnets; anything that needs fixing goes on the felt side with a pin instead. Knowing that split up front makes the board easy to use well, with pinned material on one half and written, wipe-clean updates on the other.
Look at the frame and the green thinking shows through. The finish is a light wood-effect, built in the UK from recycled stock, a warmer and more natural feel than a bare plastic board and a lower-plastic option besides. The warm wood tone softens how the board sits on a wall, fitting a house, a classroom or a workplace that wants everyday function without a hard, industrial feel. The board is light to handle, comes with concealed wall fixings, and a two-year guarantee reflects a unit built for steady everyday use.

Specifications
Full specifications for the NB1860B eco-friendly combination blue felt noticeboard with whiteboard. A compact two-in-one board pairing a blue felt pinboard with a non-magnetic dry-wipe writing panel, held in a recycled wood-effect frame that is produced in the UK. A full two-year surface and frame guarantee covers the board.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 600mm (W) x 900mm (H) | A compact dual-surface board that fits neatly into a corner, a hallway or a desk wall in a spot where a full-size board would simply be too large. |
| Surfaces | Blue felt and non-magnetic dry-wipe | One half pins up the standing notices and the other half takes the daily writing, so a single board both displays and updates together on one shared wall. |
| Felt Surface | Blue felt pinboard | Holds posters, notices and cards securely with either push pins or Velcro fasteners, with a calm deep-blue backing that keeps the pinned content easy to read. |
| Whiteboard Surface | Non-magnetic dry-wipe | Works with any dry-wipe marker and erases to a clean panel for reuse, though the surface will not hold magnets, so any items to fix go on the felt side instead. |
| Fixing Methods | Push pins and Velcro | The felt accepts both methods at once, so paper notices pin up and fabric-backed pieces hold on Velcro, then lift away 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 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 an office far better than bare plastic. |
| Orientation | Landscape or portrait | Mounts either way up, so the board fits the available wall space and sets the felt and the writing halves whichever way suits the room. |
| Weight | 4kg | Light enough for one person to lift and hang on their own, and to move between rooms or take down again in a rented home or office. |
| Mounting | Concealed wall fixings supplied | Fixings come supplied in the pack and sit out of sight behind the board, so it hangs cleanly with nothing extra to buy first. |
| 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. |

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About This Blue Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best small noticeboard for both pinning and writing?
A: A combination board, like the NB1860B, suits both pinning and writing. One half is blue felt for pinning notices and the other a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel for writing, so a single 600 by 900mm board does two jobs. The unit weighs 4kg, mounts either way, and carries a two-year guarantee.
Q: What surfaces does the board have?
A: The board is split between two surfaces, blue felt for pinning across one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard across the other. The felt holds notices, posters and cards with pins or Velcro, while the dry-wipe panel takes marker for daily updates and rubs off again ready 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 cloth. For anything that needs fixing in place, use the blue felt half with push pins or Velcro instead.
Q: Can I use Velcro as well as pins on the felt?
A: Yes. The blue felt half takes both push pins and Velcro fasteners. Paper notices and posters pin up directly, while fabric-backed cards or lightweight display pieces hold on Velcro. Both fixing methods lift away cleanly, so the felt can be refreshed without leaving marks or damage on the surface.
Q: What makes this noticeboard a greener choice?
A: The wood-effect frame is produced in the UK and made up of recycled material, which cuts plastic use next to a fully plastic board. The recycled build and UK manufacture make this a more sustainable option for schools, offices and homes looking to buy with the environment in mind.
Q: How big is the board, and which way does it mount?
A: The board measures 600mm by 900mm and weighs 4kg, a compact size for a corner, hallway or desk wall. Concealed wall fixings are supplied, and the board hangs in portrait or in landscape, so the felt and writing halves can be set whichever way suits the wall and the room.
Q: Is the board suitable for a classroom or shared office?
A: Yes. Classrooms pin timetables and pupil work to the felt and write the day's tasks on the dry-wipe half, while shared offices hold rotas and notices on the felt and track live to-dos on the writing side. The compact size suits a corner or shared wall where a full-size board would be too large.
Q: What is the difference between the blue and red felt versions?
A: Both are the same 600 by 900mm combination board with a felt pinboard and a non-magnetic dry-wipe half. The NB1860B has a blue felt surface, while the NB1860R has red felt. Choose blue for a calm, cool backdrop in an office or hallway, or red for a warmer, higher-contrast pin surface.
Q: Is the board good for a rented home or temporary setup?
A: Yes. At 4kg the board is light to hang and to take down again, and the concealed fixings leave a tidy wall. That suits a rented home, a student hall or a temporary office where a board may need to move on, since one person can mount or remove the unit without specialist tools.
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, offices and community buildings 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, such as the red NB1860R, and in larger sizes such as the 1500 by 1200mm NB1864BL. Choose this 600 by 900mm blue board for a compact wall, or step up to a larger size where a wall needs more pin and writing space.
