One Wide Board the Whole Room Can Read
When a board has to be seen from the back of a lecture hall or across a busy ward, size is the feature that matters most. The NB1862BL is a large-format combination board built for exactly that, pairing a generous blue felt pin surface with a wide dry-wipe panel so a whole room can take in both fixed notices and live updates at a glance. The felt half holds timetables, lesson plans and notices securely on its pins, while the dry-wipe half stays free for the points that change through a session, from a lecture outline to a shift update. Its generous width gives each half real working room, so neither the pinned material nor the writing has to be squeezed. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, made for pins on one side and dry-wipe markers on the other, and they sit in a light wood-effect frame whose recycled construction and sustainably sourced core make it a genuinely eco-conscious choice. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee backs it for heavy, everyday use. Best suited for large classrooms, lecture theatres and NHS wards where information has to be clear and central right across a big, busy space.
Why the Large Format Earns Its Wall Space
- Sized to be seen across a room: The extra width carries notices and writing that stay legible from the back of a lecture hall or a large ward, so a group does not have to crowd the board to read it. Visibility at distance is the whole reason to size up.
- Two surfaces with room to breathe: A wide felt pin half and a wide dry-wipe panel each get genuine working space, so fixed notices and changing notes both have room rather than competing on one cramped surface. One board does two jobs at full scale.
- Felt that takes constant pinning: The pin surface is built to hold pins time after time without loosening its grip or looking tired, so a busy noticeboard stays secure and tidy even as material is swapped through the week. Heavy re-pinning is what it is made for.
- A genuinely greener build: The board is made from recycled materials around a sustainably sourced core, so specifying it supports responsible purchasing rather than just carrying an eco label. The sustainability is in the materials themselves.
- Built for pinning and writing: Neither surface is magnetic; the felt takes pins and the panel takes markers, with no magnets involved. For a large board that has to display and annotate at the same time, that combination is what a busy room needs.
- Backed for daily use: A two-year manufacturer's guarantee covers the board, set against the constant demands of a school, a campus or a hospital rather than light occasional duty.
Where This Large Combination Board Fits Best
| Large Classrooms | A bigger teaching space needs a board the back row can still read, and the wide format delivers that. Timetables and lesson plans stay pinned on the felt while the dry-wipe half carries the day's work, both clear from across a full classroom. |
| Lecture Theatres and Halls | A lecture theatre demands a display that reads from a distance for a whole cohort. The large blue felt holds course information and notices, and the wide panel gives a lecturer real room to work through a topic without running out of writing space. |
| Universities and Departments | Departmental offices and seminar rooms use a single large board to keep notices and planning central. Reading lists and announcements pin to the felt for the weeks they apply, while the dry-wipe half handles the planning a busy department runs on. |
| NHS Wards and Staff Areas | Ward updates, shift changes and health and safety notices need to be visible right across a clinical area. The large felt keeps the standing information pinned and clear, while the dry-wipe panel takes the fast updates a shift handover depends on. |
| Conference and Meeting Rooms | A sizeable meeting room benefits from a board big enough for a full agenda and supporting notices at once. The felt holds the standing material while the wide panel gives a group space to plan, so a session is not constrained by a small surface. |
| Eco-Minded Organisations | For a buyer weighing environmental impact at scale, a large board made from recycled materials and a sustainably sourced core answers the brief while still covering a big wall. It lets a site make a greener choice without dropping to a lesser board. |
Need a Smaller Board or a Different Colour?
For a more compact wall, the same board comes in a 1500mm blue version. Prefer a neutral tone at this width? The 1800mm grey board offers the same size in grey felt.

The Displaysense NB1862BL is an Eco-Friendly Combination Blue Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A large-format dual-surface board pairing a blue felt pinboard with a dry-wipe whiteboard panel in one wood-effect frame, made from recycled materials with a sustainably sourced core. Dimensions 1800mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 6kg. Both surfaces non-magnetic, felt for pinning and a dry-wipe panel for writing, landscape orientation, wall fixings supplied, two-year manufacturer's guarantee. Best suited for large classrooms, lecture theatres, universities, NHS wards and conference rooms. Also available in a smaller 1500mm size such as the NB1864BL and in other felt colours such as the grey NB1862GR. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
The case for a large board comes down to how far it can be read. In a big lecture theatre, a large classroom or an open ward, a small board forces people to crowd in close to read it, while a wide one carries the same information clearly all the way to the back of the room. At 1800mm across, this board gives the felt and the dry-wipe halves enough scale that pinned notices and written points both stay legible from a distance, which is the practical reason to choose a large format over a standard one in a sizeable, well-filled space.
The blue felt half is a working pin surface sized for volume. Its width means several notices, timetables or printed sheets can sit side by side rather than overlapping each other, and the felt is built to take pins over and over while holding its grip and keeping a tidy look through constant changes. Because it works by pinning rather than by magnet, it suits documents that need to stay exactly where they are placed. This half of the board carries the standing material, the information that goes up and remains in view for a longer stretch of time.
The dry-wipe half is the part that keeps pace with a busy room. Markers move cleanly across it and lift away with an eraser, so the panel can be wiped down and rewritten as often as a long lecture or a full shift demands, with no staining left behind. Like the felt, this surface is non-magnetic, meant for writing on rather than carrying magnets, which keeps a board of this size light and simple. Setting the two surfaces side by side lets a large room keep its fixed notices apart from its changing ones, all on a single wall.
The board is built to be both eco-conscious and durable. A light wood-effect frame edges the two surfaces, giving a touch of rustic warmth that softens a large board in a clinical or corporate room, and the board is made up of recycled material with a responsibly sourced core, so the environmental commitment is real rather than cosmetic. The included wall fixings make mounting straightforward even at this size, and a two-year manufacturer's guarantee stands against the daily demands of the schools, universities and hospitals the board is built for.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Large Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for a large classroom or lecture hall?
A: A large combination board, like the NB1862BL, suits big spaces. At 1800 by 1200mm it can be read from the back of a hall, with a wide blue felt pinboard for the notices and a dry-wipe panel for the writing. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, the build is eco-friendly, and it carries a two-year guarantee.
Q: How big is the board, and how heavy is it?
A: The board measures 1800mm by 1200mm and weighs 6kg. The wide landscape format leaves both the pin half and the writing half enough room to be read across a large room, while the light weight means two people can comfortably lift and hang the board on a sound wall without any difficulty.
Q: Can the board hold both permanent and changeable information?
A: Yes. The blue felt half secures fixed notices such as timetables and lesson plans with pins, while the dry-wipe half is used for updates that rotate through the day. Keeping both kinds on one wide board lets a large room hold its standing and its changing information together in a single place.
Q: Will the felt cope with frequent pinning?
A: Yes. Built to be pinned into repeatedly, the blue felt keeps its grip and its tidy look as notices come and go, so material stays firmly in place and the board stays looking sharp. That is exactly what a busy noticeboard needs when items are swapped over and over through a working week.
Q: How is the dry-wipe section kept clean?
A: Clear the panel with a dry eraser each day, and run a dedicated whiteboard cleaner over it about once a week to keep it bright. Using proper dry-wipe markers and wiping it down often keeps any residue from building up, so the writing surface stays sharp and easy to read for years.
Q: Is the board magnetic?
A: No, both surfaces are non-magnetic. The blue felt half holds notices with pins, and the dry-wipe half is written on with markers, so a magnet will not stick to either of the two surfaces. Choose this combination board where the need is for pinning and writing rather than displaying items with magnets.
Q: How is the board eco-friendly?
A: Recycled materials and a responsibly sourced core go into the board, set in a wood-effect frame, which reduces the environmental impact of the purchase. That makes it a more responsible choice for an organisation buying sustainably, without giving up the everyday durability a busy board needs.
Q: Does the board suit an NHS ward or staff area?
A: Yes. The large blue felt keeps ward updates and health and safety notices pinned up and visible right across a clinical area, while the dry-wipe panel records the changes that come with each shift handover. The board's size means the information can be read from across the whole ward rather than only up close at the board itself.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1864BL?
A: Both pair a blue felt half with a dry-wipe half in a wood-effect frame and share the same eco build and 2-year guarantee. The difference is scale: this one runs to 1800 by 1200mm where the NB1864BL is 1500 by 1200mm. Go large for a lecture hall or a big classroom, or smaller for an ordinary room.
Q: Is the board easy to mount?
A: Yes. The board is supplied with all the wall fixings needed to mount it, so there is nothing extra to source first. At 6kg it is light for its size, so two people can position and hang it securely on a sound wall in landscape orientation without difficulty.
Q: Is it available in other colours?
A: Yes. As well as this blue felt, the same large combination board comes in other felt colours, including a neutral grey version, the NB1862GR. Different felt colours let a site match a board to its setting, while the board, the frame and the size stay the same across the range.
Q: Is this board available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, universities and NHS sites with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders for several rooms can be arranged directly through our team for delivery together.

Best suited for large classrooms, lecture theatres and NHS wards where information has to be clear and central right across a big, busy space.
Why the Large Format Earns Its Wall Space
- Sized to be seen across a room: The extra width carries notices and writing that stay legible from the back of a lecture hall or a large ward, so a group does not have to crowd the board to read it. Visibility at distance is the whole reason to size up.
- Two surfaces with room to breathe: A wide felt pin half and a wide dry-wipe panel each get genuine working space, so fixed notices and changing notes both have room rather than competing on one cramped surface. One board does two jobs at full scale.
- Felt that takes constant pinning: The pin surface is built to hold pins time after time without loosening its grip or looking tired, so a busy noticeboard stays secure and tidy even as material is swapped through the week. Heavy re-pinning is what it is made for.
- A genuinely greener build: The board is made from recycled materials around a sustainably sourced core, so specifying it supports responsible purchasing rather than just carrying an eco label. The sustainability is in the materials themselves.
- Built for pinning and writing: Neither surface is magnetic; the felt takes pins and the panel takes markers, with no magnets involved. For a large board that has to display and annotate at the same time, that combination is what a busy room needs.
- Backed for daily use: A two-year manufacturer's guarantee covers the board, set against the constant demands of a school, a campus or a hospital rather than light occasional duty.
Where This Large Combination Board Fits Best
| Large Classrooms | A bigger teaching space needs a board the back row can still read, and the wide format delivers that. Timetables and lesson plans stay pinned on the felt while the dry-wipe half carries the day's work, both clear from across a full classroom. |
| Lecture Theatres and Halls | A lecture theatre demands a display that reads from a distance for a whole cohort. The large blue felt holds course information and notices, and the wide panel gives a lecturer real room to work through a topic without running out of writing space. |
| Universities and Departments | Departmental offices and seminar rooms use a single large board to keep notices and planning central. Reading lists and announcements pin to the felt for the weeks they apply, while the dry-wipe half handles the planning a busy department runs on. |
| NHS Wards and Staff Areas | Ward updates, shift changes and health and safety notices need to be visible right across a clinical area. The large felt keeps the standing information pinned and clear, while the dry-wipe panel takes the fast updates a shift handover depends on. |
| Conference and Meeting Rooms | A sizeable meeting room benefits from a board big enough for a full agenda and supporting notices at once. The felt holds the standing material while the wide panel gives a group space to plan, so a session is not constrained by a small surface. |
| Eco-Minded Organisations | For a buyer weighing environmental impact at scale, a large board made from recycled materials and a sustainably sourced core answers the brief while still covering a big wall. It lets a site make a greener choice without dropping to a lesser board. |
Need a Smaller Board or a Different Colour?
For a more compact wall, the same board comes in a 1500mm blue version. Prefer a neutral tone at this width? The 1800mm grey board offers the same size in grey felt.

The Displaysense NB1862BL is an Eco-Friendly Combination Blue Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A large-format dual-surface board pairing a blue felt pinboard with a dry-wipe whiteboard panel in one wood-effect frame, made from recycled materials with a sustainably sourced core. Dimensions 1800mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 6kg. Both surfaces non-magnetic, felt for pinning and a dry-wipe panel for writing, landscape orientation, wall fixings supplied, two-year manufacturer's guarantee. Best suited for large classrooms, lecture theatres, universities, NHS wards and conference rooms. Also available in a smaller 1500mm size such as the NB1864BL and in other felt colours such as the grey NB1862GR. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
The case for a large board comes down to how far it can be read. In a big lecture theatre, a large classroom or an open ward, a small board forces people to crowd in close to read it, while a wide one carries the same information clearly all the way to the back of the room. At 1800mm across, this board gives the felt and the dry-wipe halves enough scale that pinned notices and written points both stay legible from a distance, which is the practical reason to choose a large format over a standard one in a sizeable, well-filled space.
The blue felt half is a working pin surface sized for volume. Its width means several notices, timetables or printed sheets can sit side by side rather than overlapping each other, and the felt is built to take pins over and over while holding its grip and keeping a tidy look through constant changes. Because it works by pinning rather than by magnet, it suits documents that need to stay exactly where they are placed. This half of the board carries the standing material, the information that goes up and remains in view for a longer stretch of time.
The dry-wipe half is the part that keeps pace with a busy room. Markers move cleanly across it and lift away with an eraser, so the panel can be wiped down and rewritten as often as a long lecture or a full shift demands, with no staining left behind. Like the felt, this surface is non-magnetic, meant for writing on rather than carrying magnets, which keeps a board of this size light and simple. Setting the two surfaces side by side lets a large room keep its fixed notices apart from its changing ones, all on a single wall.
The board is built to be both eco-conscious and durable. A light wood-effect frame edges the two surfaces, giving a touch of rustic warmth that softens a large board in a clinical or corporate room, and the board is made up of recycled material with a responsibly sourced core, so the environmental commitment is real rather than cosmetic. The included wall fixings make mounting straightforward even at this size, and a two-year manufacturer's guarantee stands against the daily demands of the schools, universities and hospitals the board is built for.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Large Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for a large classroom or lecture hall?
A: A large combination board, like the NB1862BL, suits big spaces. At 1800 by 1200mm it can be read from the back of a hall, with a wide blue felt pinboard for the notices and a dry-wipe panel for the writing. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, the build is eco-friendly, and it carries a two-year guarantee.
Q: How big is the board, and how heavy is it?
A: The board measures 1800mm by 1200mm and weighs 6kg. The wide landscape format leaves both the pin half and the writing half enough room to be read across a large room, while the light weight means two people can comfortably lift and hang the board on a sound wall without any difficulty.
Q: Can the board hold both permanent and changeable information?
A: Yes. The blue felt half secures fixed notices such as timetables and lesson plans with pins, while the dry-wipe half is used for updates that rotate through the day. Keeping both kinds on one wide board lets a large room hold its standing and its changing information together in a single place.
Q: Will the felt cope with frequent pinning?
A: Yes. Built to be pinned into repeatedly, the blue felt keeps its grip and its tidy look as notices come and go, so material stays firmly in place and the board stays looking sharp. That is exactly what a busy noticeboard needs when items are swapped over and over through a working week.
Q: How is the dry-wipe section kept clean?
A: Clear the panel with a dry eraser each day, and run a dedicated whiteboard cleaner over it about once a week to keep it bright. Using proper dry-wipe markers and wiping it down often keeps any residue from building up, so the writing surface stays sharp and easy to read for years.
Q: Is the board magnetic?
A: No, both surfaces are non-magnetic. The blue felt half holds notices with pins, and the dry-wipe half is written on with markers, so a magnet will not stick to either of the two surfaces. Choose this combination board where the need is for pinning and writing rather than displaying items with magnets.
Q: How is the board eco-friendly?
A: Recycled materials and a responsibly sourced core go into the board, set in a wood-effect frame, which reduces the environmental impact of the purchase. That makes it a more responsible choice for an organisation buying sustainably, without giving up the everyday durability a busy board needs.
Q: Does the board suit an NHS ward or staff area?
A: Yes. The large blue felt keeps ward updates and health and safety notices pinned up and visible right across a clinical area, while the dry-wipe panel records the changes that come with each shift handover. The board's size means the information can be read from across the whole ward rather than only up close at the board itself.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1864BL?
A: Both pair a blue felt half with a dry-wipe half in a wood-effect frame and share the same eco build and 2-year guarantee. The difference is scale: this one runs to 1800 by 1200mm where the NB1864BL is 1500 by 1200mm. Go large for a lecture hall or a big classroom, or smaller for an ordinary room.
Q: Is the board easy to mount?
A: Yes. The board is supplied with all the wall fixings needed to mount it, so there is nothing extra to source first. At 6kg it is light for its size, so two people can position and hang it securely on a sound wall in landscape orientation without difficulty.
Q: Is it available in other colours?
A: Yes. As well as this blue felt, the same large combination board comes in other felt colours, including a neutral grey version, the NB1862GR. Different felt colours let a site match a board to its setting, while the board, the frame and the size stay the same across the range.
Q: Is this board available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, universities and NHS sites with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders for several rooms can be arranged directly through our team for delivery together.
Guides to Making the Most of a Large Board
A big board only works well if its space is used well. It helps to know how to choose the right board for a room, how to arrange a large display so it stays clear rather than crowded, and how boards and dividers can shape a bigger space. These guides cover choosing display boards, organising a busy wall and using dividers to structure a room, alongside the case for greener sourcing.
Overview
One Wide Board the Whole Room Can Read
When a board has to be seen from the back of a lecture hall or across a busy ward, size is the feature that matters most. The NB1862BL is a large-format combination board built for exactly that, pairing a generous blue felt pin surface with a wide dry-wipe panel so a whole room can take in both fixed notices and live updates at a glance. The felt half holds timetables, lesson plans and notices securely on its pins, while the dry-wipe half stays free for the points that change through a session, from a lecture outline to a shift update. Its generous width gives each half real working room, so neither the pinned material nor the writing has to be squeezed. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, made for pins on one side and dry-wipe markers on the other, and they sit in a light wood-effect frame whose recycled construction and sustainably sourced core make it a genuinely eco-conscious choice. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee backs it for heavy, everyday use. Best suited for large classrooms, lecture theatres and NHS wards where information has to be clear and central right across a big, busy space.
