A Smart Grey Board for a Professional Wall
Not every room wants a splash of colour on the wall. In a boardroom, a modern office or a civic reception, the board that fits is the one that looks sharp and stays out of the way, and grey does exactly that. The NB1859GY pairs a neutral grey felt pinboard with a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard in a square format, giving a clean, understated central board that suits a considered professional setting rather than shouting for attention. The soft grey felt reads as smart and corporate, so a wall of notices stays looking ordered and businesslike, while the square shape gives the felt and the writing halves close to equal room for a full run of material and a generous area to write. That makes the board a tidy central reference point in an office or public building, smart enough to sit behind a meeting yet practical enough for daily use. Both halves sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer, more natural finish than plain plastic and a lower-impact choice besides. The board is made in the UK and arrives ready to hang with wall fixings supplied. A two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for offices, council buildings and educational centres where a board should look professional and discreet while doing a full day's work.
Why This Grey Combination Board Earns Its Place
- Understated and professional: The neutral grey felt keeps a board looking discreet and businesslike, settling comfortably into a boardroom or reception where a bright colour would feel out of place against a considered interior.
- Blends with any scheme: Grey slots into almost any interior, sitting comfortably with painted walls, timber, glazing or bare brick, so the board fits the decor instead of fighting the scheme across a range of professional settings.
- Two even working areas: Because the board is square, the grey felt and the whiteboard come out close to the same size, leaving room for a full board of notices on one side and a clear space to write on the other.
- Recycled, made in Britain: A wood-effect board built from recycled stock and manufactured in Britain backs a smart look with a genuinely lower-impact build, helping an organisation meet sustainable procurement goals without a compromise on appearance.
- Marker-and-wipe half: The dry-wipe side works with everyday whiteboard pens and wipes off for the next note, but the panel holds no magnets, so anything to display stays on the grey felt under a pin instead.
- Felt that takes a fixing: Push pins and staples both bite into the grey felt, so reports, notices and fabric-backed pieces stay put and lift off without a mark when the board is cleared and reset.
Where This Grey Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Offices and Boardrooms | Professional offices want a board that looks the part. The neutral grey felt holds reports, plans and team notices in a smart central display, while the dry-wipe half takes the agenda, actions and reminders that change from meeting to meeting. |
| Council and Civic Buildings | Public sector offices share a steady run of information with staff and visitors. The grey felt presents notices, policies and service updates discreetly, and the dry-wipe side handles changing messages such as opening times or appointment details. |
| Educational Centres | Colleges and training centres juggle reference material and live schedules together. Pinning timetables and course notices to the grey felt keeps them clear, while the writing half tracks deadlines and reminders that move through the week. |
| Reception and Waiting Areas | A front desk needs to share information while staying calm and tidy. Notices and welcome material hold neatly on the grey felt as an understated focal display, and the writing half handles changing messages for visitors through the day. |
| Sustainable Workplaces | Offices working to procurement or ESG targets want fixtures that match the policy. The recycled board holds team notices and schedules on the felt and live to-dos on the writing half, doing the communal job while keeping the impact low. |
| Meeting and Breakout Rooms | Meeting spaces gather agendas, notices and quick planning in one place. The grey felt keeps the standing material in view, while the writing half gives a full area of space for ideas and actions during a session. |

The Displaysense NB1859GY is an Eco-Friendly Combination Grey Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A square combination board with a grey felt pinboard on one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard on the other, set in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, made in the UK. Board size 1200mm x 1200mm, weight 6kg, square format. Grey felt pinboard compatible with pins and staples, non-magnetic dry-wipe writing surface, recycled wood-effect frame, wall fixings supplied, two-year guarantee. Best suited for offices, council buildings, educational centres and sustainable workplaces where a professional, understated central board is needed. Also available in a 1200 x 900mm size such as the NB1861GY and a 1500 x 1200mm size such as the NB1864GR. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Colour sends a signal on an office wall, and grey sends a quiet, professional one. Where a bright board draws the eye and openly asks to be noticed, a neutral grey surface does the very opposite, sitting back so the notices on the felt read clearly without the board itself competing for attention. That deliberate restraint is exactly why grey works so well in a boardroom, a reception or a civic office, the kind of space where a fixture is expected to look considered and stay understated rather than add yet another splash of colour to a carefully planned room.
The board quietly does two separate jobs on a single frame, splitting into a grey felt pinboard on one side and a dry-wipe writing panel on the other. Reports, plans and notices pin to the grey felt for the days or weeks they stay relevant, while the writing side carries the agenda items, actions and reminders that change over from one meeting to the next. Being square rather than long, the board gives each side a fair share, so the felt has space for a real run of pinned material and the whiteboard keeps a working area to write on, rather than one half shrinking down to a narrow lane along the edge.
Push a pin or fix a staple into the grey felt and the weave grips and closes around the shaft, holding reports, posters and fabric-backed pieces steady in place and then releasing them cleanly again when the board is next cleared. The dry-wipe half behaves the other way, taking a standard marker and wiping back to a blank panel for the next note, though the writing surface is non-magnetic, so anything that has to stay put goes on the felt with a pin rather than a magnet.
The smart finish does not come at the environment's expense. The wood-effect frame is built in Britain from reclaimed material, leaving out the new plastic a standard board needs while holding on to the warmer, more natural look that a professional room calls for in the first place. Light enough for one person to lift even at this size, supplied with wall fixings for a tidy, simple mount and covered by a full two-year guarantee, the board is set up for constant everyday service as a central display in a working office or public building.

Full specifications for the NB1859GY eco-friendly combination grey felt noticeboard with whiteboard. A 1200 by 1200mm square dual-surface board that sets a neutral grey felt pinboard alongside a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel, held in a recycled wood-effect frame produced here in the UK.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 1200mm x 1200mm square | A square board that shares the area evenly across both halves, giving a generous pin side and an equally generous writing side rather than two cramped strips. |
| Surfaces | Grey felt plus non-magnetic dry-wipe panel | 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 wall. |
| Felt Surface | Neutral grey felt pinboard | A smart, neutral grey ground that suits a professional room and keeps pinned reports and notices readable across a full half of the board. |
| Whiteboard Surface | Non-magnetic dry-wipe | Takes any standard dry-wipe marker and erases to a clean panel for reuse, though the surface will not hold magnets, so pin items to the felt. |
| Pinning the Felt | Pins or staples on the felt | Notices attach to the grey felt with either pins or staples, and the woven surface recovers its finish again after the fixings are removed. |
| Construction | 100% recycled materials | A greener build that reuses material rather than relying on new plastic throughout, making for a more sustainable buying choice. |
| Manufactured | Made in the UK | UK manufacture means a shorter supply chain overall and a board produced to a known, consistent standard fairly close to where it is sold. |
| Frame | Light wood-effect, recycled material | A warm, natural finish that softens a neutral board on the wall and suits an office, a council building or an educational centre. |
| Format | Square, mounts either way up | A balanced square that works as a central feature on the wall, sitting as a single block rather than a long, narrow strip off to one side. |
| Weight | 6kg | Light for a board of this size, so a single person can hang it on their own and then reposition it later if a room is reorganised. |
| Mounting | Wall fixings included | The wall fixings come supplied in the pack, so the board hangs cleanly with nothing extra to buy before fitting it. |
| Guarantee | 2-year guarantee | Two full years of cover give genuine reassurance for a board in regular, everyday service as the central board in a busy, working room. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Grey Square Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for a professional office?
A: A neutral grey combination board, like the NB1859GY, suits a professional office. The neutral grey felt looks smart and understated, setting a grey felt pinboard beside a non-magnetic dry-wipe writing half. The 1200 by 1200mm square board weighs 6kg and carries a two-year guarantee, sitting well in a boardroom or reception.
Q: Why choose grey felt for a noticeboard?
A: Grey felt is the easiest tone to place, working against white walls, wood, glass or brick alike. The neutral tone looks smart and businesslike, so a board sits back and lets the notices stand out rather than competing for attention, which suits boardrooms, receptions and modern offices.
Q: What surfaces does the board have?
A: The board is split into two surfaces, a grey felt pinboard on one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard on the other. The felt holds notices and reports securely on pins or staples, while the dry-wipe panel takes marker for handwritten messages and then wipes clean again for the next note.
Q: Is the whiteboard half magnetic?
A: No. The dry-wipe whiteboard half is non-magnetic, so magnets will not hold on the writing surface. The panel works with any standard dry-wipe marker and clears with a soft cloth. For anything that needs fixing in place, use the grey felt half with pins or staples instead.
Q: How big is the board, and how does it mount?
A: The board measures 1200mm by 1200mm and weighs 6kg, a balanced square size for a central wall in an office, boardroom or reception. Wall fixings are supplied in the pack, and the square format mounts either way up, sitting as a central block on the wall rather than a long strip.
Q: Can the felt take staples as well as pins?
A: Yes. The grey felt accepts both pins and staples, and the woven surface closes back around the holes and stands up well to repeated use. Notices can come down and go back up across a quarter or year without the felt losing condition or starting to look worn.
Q: What makes this noticeboard a greener choice?
A: The board is built in the UK from 100% recycled materials, including the light wood-effect frame, which cuts the new plastic a conventional board relies on. That lowers the environmental impact of a central fixture, helping offices and councils meet sustainable procurement or ESG targets.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1861GY?
A: Both are the same grey felt and non-magnetic dry-wipe combination board. The NB1859GY is the 1200 by 1200mm square with balanced even halves, while the NB1861GY is a 1200 by 900mm landscape board. Choose the square as a central board, or the landscape for a broader, shorter wall space.
Q: Is the board suitable for a council building or educational centre?
A: Yes. Council offices keep public notices and service updates on the grey felt with changing details on the dry-wipe half, while educational centres pin timetables and course notices and write deadlines alongside. The understated grey board works well as a central display in a professional, considered setting.
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 grey felt needs only an occasional light brush or vacuum to stay fresh. Using quality dry-wipe markers rather than permanent pens keeps the writing surface in good condition.
Q: Is the board available with free UK delivery and a guarantee?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery and a two-year guarantee. Displaysense has supplied UK offices, councils and schools with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders across several rooms can be arranged through our team.
Q: Does it come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. The same combination board comes in other felt colours and in several sizes, from a 1200 by 900mm landscape up to a larger 1500 by 1200mm NB1864GR. Choose this 1200 by 1200mm grey board for a central wall, or pick a landscape size to suit the space.

Best suited for offices, council buildings and educational centres where a board should look professional and discreet while doing a full day's work.
Why This Grey Combination Board Earns Its Place
- Understated and professional: The neutral grey felt keeps a board looking discreet and businesslike, settling comfortably into a boardroom or reception where a bright colour would feel out of place against a considered interior.
- Blends with any scheme: Grey slots into almost any interior, sitting comfortably with painted walls, timber, glazing or bare brick, so the board fits the decor instead of fighting the scheme across a range of professional settings.
- Two even working areas: Because the board is square, the grey felt and the whiteboard come out close to the same size, leaving room for a full board of notices on one side and a clear space to write on the other.
- Recycled, made in Britain: A wood-effect board built from recycled stock and manufactured in Britain backs a smart look with a genuinely lower-impact build, helping an organisation meet sustainable procurement goals without a compromise on appearance.
- Marker-and-wipe half: The dry-wipe side works with everyday whiteboard pens and wipes off for the next note, but the panel holds no magnets, so anything to display stays on the grey felt under a pin instead.
- Felt that takes a fixing: Push pins and staples both bite into the grey felt, so reports, notices and fabric-backed pieces stay put and lift off without a mark when the board is cleared and reset.
Where This Grey Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Offices and Boardrooms | Professional offices want a board that looks the part. The neutral grey felt holds reports, plans and team notices in a smart central display, while the dry-wipe half takes the agenda, actions and reminders that change from meeting to meeting. |
| Council and Civic Buildings | Public sector offices share a steady run of information with staff and visitors. The grey felt presents notices, policies and service updates discreetly, and the dry-wipe side handles changing messages such as opening times or appointment details. |
| Educational Centres | Colleges and training centres juggle reference material and live schedules together. Pinning timetables and course notices to the grey felt keeps them clear, while the writing half tracks deadlines and reminders that move through the week. |
| Reception and Waiting Areas | A front desk needs to share information while staying calm and tidy. Notices and welcome material hold neatly on the grey felt as an understated focal display, and the writing half handles changing messages for visitors through the day. |
| Sustainable Workplaces | Offices working to procurement or ESG targets want fixtures that match the policy. The recycled board holds team notices and schedules on the felt and live to-dos on the writing half, doing the communal job while keeping the impact low. |
| Meeting and Breakout Rooms | Meeting spaces gather agendas, notices and quick planning in one place. The grey felt keeps the standing material in view, while the writing half gives a full area of space for ideas and actions during a session. |

The Displaysense NB1859GY is an Eco-Friendly Combination Grey Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A square combination board with a grey felt pinboard on one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard on the other, set in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, made in the UK. Board size 1200mm x 1200mm, weight 6kg, square format. Grey felt pinboard compatible with pins and staples, non-magnetic dry-wipe writing surface, recycled wood-effect frame, wall fixings supplied, two-year guarantee. Best suited for offices, council buildings, educational centres and sustainable workplaces where a professional, understated central board is needed. Also available in a 1200 x 900mm size such as the NB1861GY and a 1500 x 1200mm size such as the NB1864GR. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Colour sends a signal on an office wall, and grey sends a quiet, professional one. Where a bright board draws the eye and openly asks to be noticed, a neutral grey surface does the very opposite, sitting back so the notices on the felt read clearly without the board itself competing for attention. That deliberate restraint is exactly why grey works so well in a boardroom, a reception or a civic office, the kind of space where a fixture is expected to look considered and stay understated rather than add yet another splash of colour to a carefully planned room.
The board quietly does two separate jobs on a single frame, splitting into a grey felt pinboard on one side and a dry-wipe writing panel on the other. Reports, plans and notices pin to the grey felt for the days or weeks they stay relevant, while the writing side carries the agenda items, actions and reminders that change over from one meeting to the next. Being square rather than long, the board gives each side a fair share, so the felt has space for a real run of pinned material and the whiteboard keeps a working area to write on, rather than one half shrinking down to a narrow lane along the edge.
Push a pin or fix a staple into the grey felt and the weave grips and closes around the shaft, holding reports, posters and fabric-backed pieces steady in place and then releasing them cleanly again when the board is next cleared. The dry-wipe half behaves the other way, taking a standard marker and wiping back to a blank panel for the next note, though the writing surface is non-magnetic, so anything that has to stay put goes on the felt with a pin rather than a magnet.
The smart finish does not come at the environment's expense. The wood-effect frame is built in Britain from reclaimed material, leaving out the new plastic a standard board needs while holding on to the warmer, more natural look that a professional room calls for in the first place. Light enough for one person to lift even at this size, supplied with wall fixings for a tidy, simple mount and covered by a full two-year guarantee, the board is set up for constant everyday service as a central display in a working office or public building.

Full specifications for the NB1859GY eco-friendly combination grey felt noticeboard with whiteboard. A 1200 by 1200mm square dual-surface board that sets a neutral grey felt pinboard alongside a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel, held in a recycled wood-effect frame produced here in the UK. A full two-year guarantee covers the board against everyday use.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 1200mm x 1200mm square | A square board that shares the area evenly across both halves, giving a generous pin side and an equally generous writing side rather than two cramped strips. |
| Surfaces | Grey felt plus non-magnetic dry-wipe panel | 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 wall. |
| Felt Surface | Neutral grey felt pinboard | A smart, neutral grey ground that suits a professional room and keeps pinned reports and notices readable across a full half of the board. |
| Whiteboard Surface | Non-magnetic dry-wipe | Takes any standard dry-wipe marker and erases to a clean panel for reuse, though the surface will not hold magnets, so pin items to the felt. |
| Pinning the Felt | Pins or staples on the felt | Notices attach to the grey felt with either pins or staples, and the woven surface recovers its finish again after the fixings are removed. |
| Construction | 100% recycled materials | A greener build that reuses material rather than relying on new plastic throughout, making for a more sustainable buying choice. |
| Manufactured | Made in the UK | UK manufacture means a shorter supply chain overall and a board produced to a known, consistent standard fairly close to where it is sold. |
| Frame | Light wood-effect, recycled material | A warm, natural finish that softens a neutral board on the wall and suits an office, a council building or an educational centre. |
| Format | Square, mounts either way up | A balanced square that works as a central feature on the wall, sitting as a single block rather than a long, narrow strip off to one side. |
| Weight | 6kg | Light for a board of this size, so a single person can hang it on their own and then reposition it later if a room is reorganised. |
| Mounting | Wall fixings included | The wall fixings come supplied in the pack, so the board hangs cleanly with nothing extra to buy before fitting it. |
| Guarantee | 2-year guarantee | Two full years of cover give genuine reassurance for a board in regular, everyday service as the central board in a busy, working room. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Grey Square Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for a professional office?
A: A neutral grey combination board, like the NB1859GY, suits a professional office. The neutral grey felt looks smart and understated, setting a grey felt pinboard beside a non-magnetic dry-wipe writing half. The 1200 by 1200mm square board weighs 6kg and carries a two-year guarantee, sitting well in a boardroom or reception.
Q: Why choose grey felt for a noticeboard?
A: Grey felt is the easiest tone to place, working against white walls, wood, glass or brick alike. The neutral tone looks smart and businesslike, so a board sits back and lets the notices stand out rather than competing for attention, which suits boardrooms, receptions and modern offices.
Q: What surfaces does the board have?
A: The board is split into two surfaces, a grey felt pinboard on one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard on the other. The felt holds notices and reports securely on pins or staples, while the dry-wipe panel takes marker for handwritten messages and then wipes clean again for the next note.
Q: Is the whiteboard half magnetic?
A: No. The dry-wipe whiteboard half is non-magnetic, so magnets will not hold on the writing surface. The panel works with any standard dry-wipe marker and clears with a soft cloth. For anything that needs fixing in place, use the grey felt half with pins or staples instead.
Q: How big is the board, and how does it mount?
A: The board measures 1200mm by 1200mm and weighs 6kg, a balanced square size for a central wall in an office, boardroom or reception. Wall fixings are supplied in the pack, and the square format mounts either way up, sitting as a central block on the wall rather than a long strip.
Q: Can the felt take staples as well as pins?
A: Yes. The grey felt accepts both pins and staples, and the woven surface closes back around the holes and stands up well to repeated use. Notices can come down and go back up across a quarter or year without the felt losing condition or starting to look worn.
Q: What makes this noticeboard a greener choice?
A: The board is built in the UK from 100% recycled materials, including the light wood-effect frame, which cuts the new plastic a conventional board relies on. That lowers the environmental impact of a central fixture, helping offices and councils meet sustainable procurement or ESG targets.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1861GY?
A: Both are the same grey felt and non-magnetic dry-wipe combination board. The NB1859GY is the 1200 by 1200mm square with balanced even halves, while the NB1861GY is a 1200 by 900mm landscape board. Choose the square as a central board, or the landscape for a broader, shorter wall space.
Q: Is the board suitable for a council building or educational centre?
A: Yes. Council offices keep public notices and service updates on the grey felt with changing details on the dry-wipe half, while educational centres pin timetables and course notices and write deadlines alongside. The understated grey board works well as a central display in a professional, considered setting.
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 grey felt needs only an occasional light brush or vacuum to stay fresh. Using quality dry-wipe markers rather than permanent pens keeps the writing surface in good condition.
Q: Is the board available with free UK delivery and a guarantee?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery and a two-year guarantee. Displaysense has supplied UK offices, councils and schools with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders across several rooms can be arranged through our team.
Q: Does it come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. The same combination board comes in other felt colours and in several sizes, from a 1200 by 900mm landscape up to a larger 1500 by 1200mm NB1864GR. Choose this 1200 by 1200mm grey board for a central wall, or pick a landscape size to suit the space.
Guides to Noticeboards, Whiteboards and Organised Spaces
A combination board works best when the surfaces, size and place on the wall match the room. It helps to know how to choose the right noticeboard, how to pick a whiteboard for a workspace, and how room dividers and clear storage keep a busy office or school in order. These guides cover choosing a board and planning the space around it.
Overview
A Smart Grey Board for a Professional Wall
Not every room wants a splash of colour on the wall. In a boardroom, a modern office or a civic reception, the board that fits is the one that looks sharp and stays out of the way, and grey does exactly that. The NB1859GY pairs a neutral grey felt pinboard with a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard in a square format, giving a clean, understated central board that suits a considered professional setting rather than shouting for attention. The soft grey felt reads as smart and corporate, so a wall of notices stays looking ordered and businesslike, while the square shape gives the felt and the writing halves close to equal room for a full run of material and a generous area to write. That makes the board a tidy central reference point in an office or public building, smart enough to sit behind a meeting yet practical enough for daily use. Both halves sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer, more natural finish than plain plastic and a lower-impact choice besides. The board is made in the UK and arrives ready to hang with wall fixings supplied. A two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for offices, council buildings and educational centres where a board should look professional and discreet while doing a full day's work.
