The Board for When a Whole Hall Needs to See It
Some spaces are simply too big for an ordinary board. An assembly hall, a lecture theatre or a hospital coordination area needs a display that reaches everyone in the room at once, and that is what the NB1863BL is built for. At its full span it is the largest board in the range, pairing an expansive blue felt pin surface with a full-size dry-wipe panel so a roomful of people can read both the standing notices and the live updates from wherever they sit. The felt half holds assembly schedules, safety protocols and notices on pins, while the dry-wipe panel carries the announcements and coordination notes that change by the day or the hour. Its sheer scale is the point, giving each surface the room to show several items at once without anything being crowded out. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, made for pins on the felt and dry-wipe markers on the panel, and they sit in a strong wood-effect frame built around a sustainably sourced core, a greener choice at a size where that matters most. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee covers it. Best suited for assembly halls, lecture theatres and NHS coordination hubs where information has to be read by a whole room at a glance.
Why the Largest Format Changes What a Board Can Do
- Communication at room scale: The full width carries notices and writing that stay legible to a whole hall or open-plan floor, so a single board can address everyone present rather than just those standing near it. At this size, the board becomes a focal point for the room.
- Room for many items at once: The expansive felt pin half and the full-size dry-wipe panel each hold a great deal, so a coordination hub can keep multiple schedules, notices and updates in view together without constant reshuffling. Nothing has to come down to make space.
- Felt that holds up to heavy use: The pin surface is built for the constant pinning a busy hub demands, taking pins repeatedly while keeping its grip and its appearance, so a high-traffic board stays secure and tidy through frequent changes across the week.
- A greener board at scale: The wood-effect frame is built around a sustainably sourced core, so covering a very large wall need not carry a heavier environmental cost. Choosing responsibly matters more, not less, as the board gets bigger.
- Built for pinning and writing: Both surfaces are non-magnetic, designed for pins on the felt and markers on the panel rather than magnets. For a large coordination board that has to display and annotate at once, that pairing is exactly what a busy room needs.
- Solidly built and guaranteed: This is a substantial board, weighted for stability and finished to last, and a two-year manufacturer's guarantee stands behind it against the daily demands of a school, a campus or a hospital.
Where This Extra-Large Combination Board Fits Best
| Assembly Halls | A whole-school audience needs to read the same information at once, and only a board at this scale manages it. Assembly schedules and safety protocols stay pinned on the felt, while the dry-wipe panel carries the notes that change between events and sessions. |
| Lecture Theatres | A full theatre demands a display that reaches the back row clearly. The expansive blue felt holds course and faculty information, and the full-size panel gives a lecturer ample room to work through a topic without running short of writing space mid-session. |
| Universities and Faculties | Faculty announcements, research updates and event timetables can all live on one board rather than several. The large felt keeps standing notices visible for the weeks they apply, while the dry-wipe half handles the planning a busy department runs on. |
| NHS Coordination Hubs | Ward coordination boards, staff updates and public information points need to be legible across a large clinical area. The big felt surface keeps the standing information clear and central, while the dry-wipe panel takes the fast updates a hub depends on. |
| Open-Plan Workspaces | An open floor benefits from one large board everyone can gather around or read from their desk. Project information pins to the felt while the panel stays free for figures and notes, giving a big team a single shared reference point instead of scattered boards. |
| Eco-Minded Organisations | For a buyer fitting out large spaces with sustainability in mind, a board this size built on a sustainably sourced core answers the brief while still covering a major wall. It makes a greener choice at scale without dropping to a lesser board. |
Need a Smaller Board or a Different Colour?
For a slightly more compact wall, the same board comes in an 1800mm blue version. Prefer a neutral tone at this full size? The 2400mm grey board offers the same scale in grey felt.
Call us on 01279460460 or get in touch for advice on sizes, colours or multi-room orders.
The Displaysense NB1863BL is an Eco-Friendly Combination Blue Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. The largest dual-surface board in the range, pairing an expansive blue felt pinboard with a full-size dry-wipe whiteboard panel in one wood-effect frame, with a sustainably sourced core. Dimensions 2400mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 23kg. Both surfaces non-magnetic, blue felt for pinning and a dry-wipe panel for writing, landscape orientation, two-year manufacturer's guarantee. Best suited for assembly halls, lecture theatres, universities, NHS coordination hubs and open-plan workspaces. Also available in a smaller 1800mm size such as the NB1862BL and in other felt colours such as the grey NB1863GR. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
The reason to choose a board this large comes down to reach. In a room that seats a whole school or a full lecture cohort, a standard board only serves the people near it, while a 2400mm span carries the same information legibly to the back of the hall. The felt and the dry-wipe halves each gain enough width that text and notices can be sized to be read from a distance, turning the board from something people walk up to into something a whole room takes in at once. That is the practical difference the largest format makes in a genuinely big space.
The blue felt half is a pin surface built for volume and constant change. Its generous width lets many notices, schedules and printed sheets sit together without overlapping, and the felt accepts pins again and again while holding its grip and keeping its finish. Because it relies on pinning rather than magnets, it suits documents and posters that must stay exactly in place. This half carries the standing material, the assembly schedules, safety protocols and notices that go up and remain in view across a stretch of time in a busy hub.
The dry-wipe half handles everything that moves through the day. Markers write cleanly across it and lift away with an eraser, so the panel can be cleared and rewritten as often as coordination demands without leaving ghosting behind. As with the felt, this surface carries no magnetic backing; it is for writing rather than holding magnets, which keeps a board of this scale as straightforward as a small one to use. Placing the two halves together lets a large room keep its fixed notices apart from its live updates on one shared wall.
A board this size has to be solid, and this one is. It weighs a substantial amount, which reflects a strong build that stays flat and stable across its full span rather than flexing, and a strong wood-effect frame edges and protects it. The core is sustainably sourced, so even at this scale the board is a more responsible choice. Because of its size and weight it is a fixed installation best mounted by two people onto a sound wall, and a two-year manufacturer's guarantee backs it against the daily demands of the schools, universities and hospitals it serves.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Extra-Large Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for a large hall or assembly space?
A: An extra-large combination board, like the NB1863BL, suits a hall. At 2400 by 1200mm it is the widest board we make, with an expansive blue felt pinboard for the notices and a full-size dry-wipe panel for the writing. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, the build is eco-friendly, and it carries a two-year guarantee.
Q: Will the board be readable from the back of a large hall?
A: Yes. The 2400mm width is the widest in the range, so notices and writing can be sized to be read clearly from across a lecture theatre, an assembly hall or an open-plan floor. That reach is really the main reason to choose this full size over a smaller board in a genuinely big space.
Q: How big is the board, and how heavy is it?
A: The board measures 2400mm by 1200mm and weighs 23kg. The width lets both the pin half and the writing half be read clearly across a large room, and the weight points to a solid, stable build, so a pair of people should lift the board and fix it securely to a sound, solid wall.
Q: Can the board hold both permanent and changeable information?
A: Yes. Pins hold static notices such as assembly schedules and safety protocols on the blue felt half, while the dry-wipe half is written on for daily or weekly updates. Having both kinds on one large board lets a busy coordination hub keep its standing and its changing information together in a single spot.
Q: Will the felt cope with frequent pinning?
A: Yes. The blue felt is made to take pins repeatedly without losing its grip or its appearance, so notices stay secure and the board keeps looking tidy. That really matters on a large coordination board, where a great deal of material is pinned up, removed and then replaced again across the course of a busy working week.
Q: Is the board magnetic?
A: No, neither surface is magnetic. Notices go up onto the blue felt with pins, and the dry-wipe half is marked with pens, so there is nothing for a magnet to grip on either side. This board is the right pick whenever the job is pinning and writing rather than holding items up with magnets.
Q: How is the board eco-friendly?
A: The board uses a responsibly sourced core set in a wood-effect frame, which helps reduce the environmental impact of the purchase. That makes it a more responsible choice for a large-scale fit-out, without giving up the durability an extra-large, busy board needs.
Q: Does the board suit an NHS ward or coordination hub?
A: Yes. The large blue felt keeps ward coordination notices and staff updates clearly visible across a clinical area, while the writable half handles the fast-moving information a hub depends on. The size means the board reads from across the room rather than only up close at the wall.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1862BL?
A: Both pair a blue felt half with a dry-wipe half in a wood-effect frame and share the same eco build. The two differ in scale, since this board runs to 2400 by 1200mm where the NB1862BL is 1800 by 1200mm. Go this large for a hall or hub, or the 1800mm board for a big room.
Q: How is the board mounted, given its size?
A: The board is a fixed wall installation supplied with the wall fixings needed to mount it. Because it is 2400mm wide and weighs 23kg, two people should lift and fix it onto a sound, solid wall, which holds a board this large secure and level once it is up.
Q: Is it available in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. As well as this blue felt, the same extra-large board comes in other felt colours, including a grey version, the NB1863GR, and in a smaller 1800mm size. Different felt colours let a site code areas by purpose, while the board and the frame themselves 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.

The Board for When a Whole Hall Needs to See It
Some spaces are simply too big for an ordinary board. An assembly hall, a lecture theatre or a hospital coordination area needs a display that reaches everyone in the room at once, and that is what the NB1863BL is built for. At its full span it is the largest board in the range, pairing an expansive blue felt pin surface with a full-size dry-wipe panel so a roomful of people can read both the standing notices and the live updates from wherever they sit. The felt half holds assembly schedules, safety protocols and notices on pins, while the dry-wipe panel carries the announcements and coordination notes that change by the day or the hour. Its sheer scale is the point, giving each surface the room to show several items at once without anything being crowded out. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, made for pins on the felt and dry-wipe markers on the panel, and they sit in a strong wood-effect frame built around a sustainably sourced core, a greener choice at a size where that matters most. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee covers it. Best suited for assembly halls, lecture theatres and NHS coordination hubs where information has to be read by a whole room at a glance.
Why the Largest Format Changes What a Board Can Do
- Communication at room scale: The full width carries notices and writing that stay legible to a whole hall or open-plan floor, so a single board can address everyone present rather than just those standing near it. At this size, the board becomes a focal point for the room.
- Room for many items at once: The expansive felt pin half and the full-size dry-wipe panel each hold a great deal, so a coordination hub can keep multiple schedules, notices and updates in view together without constant reshuffling. Nothing has to come down to make space.
- Felt that holds up to heavy use: The pin surface is built for the constant pinning a busy hub demands, taking pins repeatedly while keeping its grip and its appearance, so a high-traffic board stays secure and tidy through frequent changes across the week.
- A greener board at scale: The wood-effect frame is built around a sustainably sourced core, so covering a very large wall need not carry a heavier environmental cost. Choosing responsibly matters more, not less, as the board gets bigger.
- Built for pinning and writing: Both surfaces are non-magnetic, designed for pins on the felt and markers on the panel rather than magnets. For a large coordination board that has to display and annotate at once, that pairing is exactly what a busy room needs.
- Solidly built and guaranteed: This is a substantial board, weighted for stability and finished to last, and a two-year manufacturer's guarantee stands behind it against the daily demands of a school, a campus or a hospital.
Where This Extra-Large Combination Board Fits Best
| Assembly Halls | A whole-school audience needs to read the same information at once, and only a board at this scale manages it. Assembly schedules and safety protocols stay pinned on the felt, while the dry-wipe panel carries the notes that change between events and sessions. |
| Lecture Theatres | A full theatre demands a display that reaches the back row clearly. The expansive blue felt holds course and faculty information, and the full-size panel gives a lecturer ample room to work through a topic without running short of writing space mid-session. |
| Universities and Faculties | Faculty announcements, research updates and event timetables can all live on one board rather than several. The large felt keeps standing notices visible for the weeks they apply, while the dry-wipe half handles the planning a busy department runs on. |
| NHS Coordination Hubs | Ward coordination boards, staff updates and public information points need to be legible across a large clinical area. The big felt surface keeps the standing information clear and central, while the dry-wipe panel takes the fast updates a hub depends on. |
| Open-Plan Workspaces | An open floor benefits from one large board everyone can gather around or read from their desk. Project information pins to the felt while the panel stays free for figures and notes, giving a big team a single shared reference point instead of scattered boards. |
| Eco-Minded Organisations | For a buyer fitting out large spaces with sustainability in mind, a board this size built on a sustainably sourced core answers the brief while still covering a major wall. It makes a greener choice at scale without dropping to a lesser board. |
Need a Smaller Board or a Different Colour?
For a slightly more compact wall, the same board comes in an 1800mm blue version. Prefer a neutral tone at this full size? The 2400mm grey board offers the same scale in grey felt.

The Displaysense NB1863BL is an Eco-Friendly Combination Blue Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. The largest dual-surface board in the range, pairing an expansive blue felt pinboard with a full-size dry-wipe whiteboard panel in one wood-effect frame, with a sustainably sourced core. Dimensions 2400mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 23kg. Both surfaces non-magnetic, blue felt for pinning and a dry-wipe panel for writing, landscape orientation, two-year manufacturer's guarantee. Best suited for assembly halls, lecture theatres, universities, NHS coordination hubs and open-plan workspaces. Also available in a smaller 1800mm size such as the NB1862BL and in other felt colours such as the grey NB1863GR. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
The reason to choose a board this large comes down to reach. In a room that seats a whole school or a full lecture cohort, a standard board only serves the people near it, while a 2400mm span carries the same information legibly to the back of the hall. The felt and the dry-wipe halves each gain enough width that text and notices can be sized to be read from a distance, turning the board from something people walk up to into something a whole room takes in at once. That is the practical difference the largest format makes in a genuinely big space.
The blue felt half is a pin surface built for volume and constant change. Its generous width lets many notices, schedules and printed sheets sit together without overlapping, and the felt accepts pins again and again while holding its grip and keeping its finish. Because it relies on pinning rather than magnets, it suits documents and posters that must stay exactly in place. This half carries the standing material, the assembly schedules, safety protocols and notices that go up and remain in view across a stretch of time in a busy hub.
The dry-wipe half handles everything that moves through the day. Markers write cleanly across it and lift away with an eraser, so the panel can be cleared and rewritten as often as coordination demands without leaving ghosting behind. As with the felt, this surface carries no magnetic backing; it is for writing rather than holding magnets, which keeps a board of this scale as straightforward as a small one to use. Placing the two halves together lets a large room keep its fixed notices apart from its live updates on one shared wall.
A board this size has to be solid, and this one is. It weighs a substantial amount, which reflects a strong build that stays flat and stable across its full span rather than flexing, and a strong wood-effect frame edges and protects it. The core is sustainably sourced, so even at this scale the board is a more responsible choice. Because of its size and weight it is a fixed installation best mounted by two people onto a sound wall, and a two-year manufacturer's guarantee backs it against the daily demands of the schools, universities and hospitals it serves.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Extra-Large Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for a large hall or assembly space?
A: An extra-large combination board, like the NB1863BL, suits a hall. At 2400 by 1200mm it is the widest board we make, with an expansive blue felt pinboard for the notices and a full-size dry-wipe panel for the writing. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, the build is eco-friendly, and it carries a two-year guarantee.
Q: Will the board be readable from the back of a large hall?
A: Yes. The 2400mm width is the widest in the range, so notices and writing can be sized to be read clearly from across a lecture theatre, an assembly hall or an open-plan floor. That reach is really the main reason to choose this full size over a smaller board in a genuinely big space.
Q: How big is the board, and how heavy is it?
A: The board measures 2400mm by 1200mm and weighs 23kg. The width lets both the pin half and the writing half be read clearly across a large room, and the weight points to a solid, stable build, so a pair of people should lift the board and fix it securely to a sound, solid wall.
Q: Can the board hold both permanent and changeable information?
A: Yes. Pins hold static notices such as assembly schedules and safety protocols on the blue felt half, while the dry-wipe half is written on for daily or weekly updates. Having both kinds on one large board lets a busy coordination hub keep its standing and its changing information together in a single spot.
Q: Will the felt cope with frequent pinning?
A: Yes. The blue felt is made to take pins repeatedly without losing its grip or its appearance, so notices stay secure and the board keeps looking tidy. That really matters on a large coordination board, where a great deal of material is pinned up, removed and then replaced again across the course of a busy working week.
Q: Is the board magnetic?
A: No, neither surface is magnetic. Notices go up onto the blue felt with pins, and the dry-wipe half is marked with pens, so there is nothing for a magnet to grip on either side. This board is the right pick whenever the job is pinning and writing rather than holding items up with magnets.
Q: How is the board eco-friendly?
A: The board uses a responsibly sourced core set in a wood-effect frame, which helps reduce the environmental impact of the purchase. That makes it a more responsible choice for a large-scale fit-out, without giving up the durability an extra-large, busy board needs.
Q: Does the board suit an NHS ward or coordination hub?
A: Yes. The large blue felt keeps ward coordination notices and staff updates clearly visible across a clinical area, while the writable half handles the fast-moving information a hub depends on. The size means the board reads from across the room rather than only up close at the wall.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1862BL?
A: Both pair a blue felt half with a dry-wipe half in a wood-effect frame and share the same eco build. The two differ in scale, since this board runs to 2400 by 1200mm where the NB1862BL is 1800 by 1200mm. Go this large for a hall or hub, or the 1800mm board for a big room.
Q: How is the board mounted, given its size?
A: The board is a fixed wall installation supplied with the wall fixings needed to mount it. Because it is 2400mm wide and weighs 23kg, two people should lift and fix it onto a sound, solid wall, which holds a board this large secure and level once it is up.
Q: Is it available in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. As well as this blue felt, the same extra-large board comes in other felt colours, including a grey version, the NB1863GR, and in a smaller 1800mm size. Different felt colours let a site code areas by purpose, while the board and the frame themselves 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.
