One Board for Pinning and Writing, Made the Greener Way
A pinboard and a whiteboard usually mean two separate fixtures on the wall. The NB1861GY brings both onto one board, splitting the surface into a grey felt half for pinning notices, rotas and printed sheets and a dry-wipe half for messages, reminders and quick updates you change by hand. That covers the two ways a shared space communicates, the things that stay up for a while and the things that change daily, without giving up wall area to a second board. It is built from fully recycled materials and made in the UK, so it suits an organisation working to lower its environmental impact, and a light wood-effect frame gives it a warm, modern look that sits well in a public or office interior. The whiteboard half is non-magnetic, written on and wiped with dry-wipe pens, while the felt half holds paper with pins or staples. It mounts to the wall with a concealed fixing kit and carries a 2-year guarantee. Best suited for schools, council buildings and green offices where one wall needs to both display and update, and sustainability matters.
Why This Eco Combination Board Works Well
- Two surfaces, two jobs: A grey felt half pins up notices, rotas and printed sheets with pins or staples, while the dry-wipe half takes messages and reminders that change by the day and wipe clean for the next. One board covers both the standing information and the daily updates a shared space needs, instead of two separate fixtures competing for the same wall.
- Built green, made in the UK: The board is made entirely from recycled content and manufactured in the UK, so it brings a working noticeboard to a wall without the environmental cost of new material and with a short, accountable supply chain. For a school, council or business measuring its impact, that is an easy choice to specify and a visible sign of greener buying.
- Warm wood-effect frame: A light wood-effect frame softens the look of the board, giving it a natural, contemporary edge rather than the clinical feel of a plain trim. It blends into a staffroom, reception or co-working space as a piece of the interior, not just a functional fitting on the wall.
- Compact size for a shared wall: The landscape format fits a single shared wall in a classroom, office or breakout area without dominating the room, putting the felt and dry-wipe surfaces side by side. It brings proper display and writing space to a modest wall rather than demanding a large one.
- Low-maintenance, easy to keep clear: The dry-wipe half cleans back with a wipe and the felt half is cleared simply by taking down old notices, so neither side needs special care to stay tidy and readable. Day to day, the board looks after itself beyond the odd clean and a refresh of what is pinned up.
- Simple to mount, guaranteed: A concealed fixing kit comes supplied, so the board mounts cleanly to the wall with the fittings hidden for a tidy finish, and a 2-year guarantee backs it. It arrives ready to put up and use, with nothing extra to source before it goes on the wall.
Where an Eco Combination Board Fits Best
| Schools and Education | Classrooms and corridors need to pin up term notices and timetables while still having space to write a daily reminder. The felt half holds printed information and the dry-wipe half takes the changing notes, and the recycled build supports a school teaching sustainability by example. |
| Council and Public Buildings | Reception areas and public corridors display official notices and guidance that stay up, alongside messages that change with the day. A board made in the UK from recycled materials fits a council committed to responsible spending and lower environmental impact. |
| Green and Eco-Certified Offices | Businesses working toward environmental certification want fittings that match their values. This recycled, UK-made board pins team updates on felt and carries dry-wipe notes on the other half, putting sustainable choices on show in a working office. |
| Co-Working and Shared Spaces | Shared offices post house information and member notices that stay put, while members use the dry-wipe half for bookings or messages. The warm wood-effect frame suits a relaxed co-working interior, and the dual surface keeps one wall doing two jobs. |
| Staffrooms and Breakout Areas | A staffroom uses the felt half for rotas, policies and printed notices and the dry-wipe half for the week ahead or a quick message. The board gathers communication in one place, and its compact landscape size suits the limited wall a breakout area tends to have. |
| Reception and Front-of-House | Visible to visitors, a reception wall benefits from a board that looks considered as well as useful. The wood-effect frame and grey felt present a tidy, professional face, while the dry-wipe half lets staff update a welcome message or notice in seconds. |
Want a Different Colour or Size?
The same board comes in other felt colours, including a blue felt version for a different look. For a larger wall, the bigger grey combination board offers more display space.

The Displaysense NB1861GY is an Eco-Friendly Combination Grey Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. Dual-surface wall board, one half grey felt pinboard and one half non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard, made from 100 percent recycled materials and manufactured in the UK. Dimensions 1200mm W x 900mm H, landscape orientation. Weight 6kg. Light wood-effect recycled plastic frame, grey felt, concealed wall fixings supplied. 2-year guarantee. Suited to schools, council buildings, green offices, co-working spaces, staffrooms and reception areas. Also available in blue, red and green felt, and in larger sizes such as the NB1864GR. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
A combination board exists because two kinds of information behave differently. Some things stay up for weeks, like a rota, a policy or a printed timetable, and want a surface that holds paper without being rewritten. Other things change daily, like a reminder or a message, and want a surface you can wipe and redo in seconds. Splitting one board into a felt half and a dry-wipe half gives each type the surface that suits it, so the standing notices and the daily updates live side by side on a single wall fixture rather than fighting for room or ending up taped over each other.
The eco credentials are built into the board, not added as a label. It is made entirely from recycled content, so the felt, the backing and the frame reuse material that would otherwise be waste, and it is manufactured in the UK, which keeps the supply chain behind it short and accountable. Where an organisation tracks its environmental footprint, those two facts carry weight at the moment of buying. A board that does an everyday job while reflecting a recycled, locally made supply chain is a small decision that lines up with a bigger commitment.
The materials are chosen to look as good as they perform. The pinboard half is finished in a soft grey felt that gives a calm, neutral background for whatever is displayed and takes pins or staples without leaving the surface ragged. The frame is a light wood-effect trim, warmer and more natural than a plain metal or plastic edge, which helps the board read as part of a considered interior rather than a purely functional fitting. Together the grey felt and the wood tone suit a public reception, a staffroom or an office without clashing with the decor around them.
Putting the board up is meant to be quick and tidy. A wall mounting kit comes supplied, and the fixings sit concealed, so the board fixes flat to the wall without screw heads or brackets on show. The dry-wipe half does not hold magnets, taking pen and erasing instead, so it is cleaned with a dry cloth and an occasional whiteboard cleaner between uses. The felt half is kept clear simply by removing old notices. A 2-year guarantee backs the board, and dry-wipe rather than permanent pens keep the writing surface in good order.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for a sustainable school or office?
A: An eco combination board, like the NB1861GY, suits a sustainable school or office well. The board is made from fully recycled materials in the UK, and combines a grey felt pinboard half with a non-magnetic dry-wipe half. The board measures 1200 by 900mm and mounts to the wall with concealed fixings.
Q: What can each half of the board be used for?
A: The grey felt half takes paper, with rotas, printed sheets and notices held by pins or staples, for information that stays up. The dry-wipe half takes messages, reminders and timetables that change day to day. Splitting the board this way lets standing notices and daily updates share one wall fixture instead of two.
Q: What materials is the board made from?
A: Recycled material makes up the whole board, the felt and the recycled-plastic wood-effect frame alike. Manufacture takes place in the UK, keeping the chain of supply behind it short and accountable. For an organisation tracking its environmental impact, those two facts make the board an easy one to sign off.
Q: Is the whiteboard half magnetic?
A: No. Magnets do not hold on the dry-wipe half, as that surface is non-magnetic. Written content goes on with dry-wipe pens and wipes off again, while printed material is pinned to the grey felt half instead. If holding paper with magnets matters, a magnetic steel whiteboard is the better choice.
Q: Is this board suitable for council and public buildings?
A: Yes. In a reception or public corridor, the felt half carries formal notices and guidance for the long term, while the dry-wipe half handles messages that change. A recycled, UK-built board sits well with a council watching both its budget and its environmental footprint.
Q: Does the board come with fixings to mount it?
A: Yes. A wall mounting kit is supplied in the box, and the fixings sit concealed for a tidy finish with no brackets on show. At just 6kg the board is easy for one person to lift, hold and screw to a solid wall. Check the wall can take the fixings before mounting, as with any board.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight of the board?
A: The board measures 1200mm wide by 900mm high and weighs 6kg. That compact landscape size suits one shared wall in a classroom, staffroom or office without taking it over. The felt and dry-wipe halves sit side by side across the width, giving room to both pin and write.
Q: What is the difference between this and the larger NB1864GR?
A: Both are grey eco combination boards pairing a pinnable felt area with a dry-wipe area. This board is 1200 by 900mm, suited to a single shared wall. The NB1864GR is larger at 1500 by 1200mm, for a busier wall with more to display. Choose this size for a compact space, or the larger board for more room.
Q: Do I need a combination board, or just a noticeboard?
A: A combination board earns its place where a space needs to both pin paper and write notes, since it pairs a pinnable felt surface with a writable dry-wipe one on a single fixture. If only pinning is ever needed, a felt-only noticeboard is simpler. The combination suits a wall that handles both standing and daily information.
Q: How is the board cleaned and looked after?
A: The dry-wipe half is cleaned with a dry cloth, with an occasional whiteboard cleaner for heavier marks, and only dry-wipe pens should be used to protect the surface. The felt half is kept clear by removing old notices and pins. Both halves need little upkeep beyond that day to day.
Q: Is this noticeboard available with UK delivery and a guarantee?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery and carries a 2-year guarantee. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, councils and offices with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders for several rooms or a whole site can be arranged through our team.
Q: Does the board come in other colours?
A: Yes. The same combination board comes in blue, red and green felt as well as this grey, all with the wood-effect frame. The grey felt gives a neutral, professional look that suits most interiors, while the brighter colours can help a board stand out or match a colour scheme.
Guides for Choosing and Using Noticeboards
A noticeboard works hardest when its surfaces, size and materials suit the room and the way a space communicates. Knowing when a felt, dry-wipe or combination board is the better fit, how recycled and sustainable options compare and how to organise a wall for clear communication all make a real difference. These guides cover choosing boards for offices and schools.

That covers the two ways a shared space communicates, the things that stay up for a while and the things that change daily, without giving up wall area to a second board. It is built from fully recycled materials and made in the UK, so it suits an organisation working to lower its environmental impact, and a light wood-effect frame gives it a warm, modern look that sits well in a public or office interior. The whiteboard half is non-magnetic, written on and wiped with dry-wipe pens, while the felt half holds paper with pins or staples. It mounts to the wall with a concealed fixing kit and carries a 2-year guarantee. Best suited for schools, council buildings and green offices where one wall needs to both display and update, and sustainability matters.
Why This Eco Combination Board Works Well
- Two surfaces, two jobs: A grey felt half pins up notices, rotas and printed sheets with pins or staples, while the dry-wipe half takes messages and reminders that change by the day and wipe clean for the next. One board covers both the standing information and the daily updates a shared space needs, instead of two separate fixtures competing for the same wall.
- Built green, made in the UK: The board is made entirely from recycled content and manufactured in the UK, so it brings a working noticeboard to a wall without the environmental cost of new material and with a short, accountable supply chain. For a school, council or business measuring its impact, that is an easy choice to specify and a visible sign of greener buying.
- Warm wood-effect frame: A light wood-effect frame softens the look of the board, giving it a natural, contemporary edge rather than the clinical feel of a plain trim. It blends into a staffroom, reception or co-working space as a piece of the interior, not just a functional fitting on the wall.
- Compact size for a shared wall: The landscape format fits a single shared wall in a classroom, office or breakout area without dominating the room, putting the felt and dry-wipe surfaces side by side. It brings proper display and writing space to a modest wall rather than demanding a large one.
- Low-maintenance, easy to keep clear: The dry-wipe half cleans back with a wipe and the felt half is cleared simply by taking down old notices, so neither side needs special care to stay tidy and readable. Day to day, the board looks after itself beyond the odd clean and a refresh of what is pinned up.
- Simple to mount, guaranteed: A concealed fixing kit comes supplied, so the board mounts cleanly to the wall with the fittings hidden for a tidy finish, and a 2-year guarantee backs it. It arrives ready to put up and use, with nothing extra to source before it goes on the wall.
Where an Eco Combination Board Fits Best
| Schools and Education | Classrooms and corridors need to pin up term notices and timetables while still having space to write a daily reminder. The felt half holds printed information and the dry-wipe half takes the changing notes, and the recycled build supports a school teaching sustainability by example. |
| Council and Public Buildings | Reception areas and public corridors display official notices and guidance that stay up, alongside messages that change with the day. A board made in the UK from recycled materials fits a council committed to responsible spending and lower environmental impact. |
| Green and Eco-Certified Offices | Businesses working toward environmental certification want fittings that match their values. This recycled, UK-made board pins team updates on felt and carries dry-wipe notes on the other half, putting sustainable choices on show in a working office. |
| Co-Working and Shared Spaces | Shared offices post house information and member notices that stay put, while members use the dry-wipe half for bookings or messages. The warm wood-effect frame suits a relaxed co-working interior, and the dual surface keeps one wall doing two jobs. |
| Staffrooms and Breakout Areas | A staffroom uses the felt half for rotas, policies and printed notices and the dry-wipe half for the week ahead or a quick message. The board gathers communication in one place, and its compact landscape size suits the limited wall a breakout area tends to have. |
| Reception and Front-of-House | Visible to visitors, a reception wall benefits from a board that looks considered as well as useful. The wood-effect frame and grey felt present a tidy, professional face, while the dry-wipe half lets staff update a welcome message or notice in seconds. |
Want a Different Colour or Size?
The same board comes in other felt colours, including a blue felt version for a different look. For a larger wall, the bigger grey combination board offers more display space.

The Displaysense NB1861GY is an Eco-Friendly Combination Grey Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. Dual-surface wall board, one half grey felt pinboard and one half non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard, made from 100 percent recycled materials and manufactured in the UK. Dimensions 1200mm W x 900mm H, landscape orientation. Weight 6kg. Light wood-effect recycled plastic frame, grey felt, concealed wall fixings supplied. 2-year guarantee. Suited to schools, council buildings, green offices, co-working spaces, staffrooms and reception areas. Also available in blue, red and green felt, and in larger sizes such as the NB1864GR. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
A combination board exists because two kinds of information behave differently. Some things stay up for weeks, like a rota, a policy or a printed timetable, and want a surface that holds paper without being rewritten. Other things change daily, like a reminder or a message, and want a surface you can wipe and redo in seconds. Splitting one board into a felt half and a dry-wipe half gives each type the surface that suits it, so the standing notices and the daily updates live side by side on a single wall fixture rather than fighting for room or ending up taped over each other.
The eco credentials are built into the board, not added as a label. It is made entirely from recycled content, so the felt, the backing and the frame reuse material that would otherwise be waste, and it is manufactured in the UK, which keeps the supply chain behind it short and accountable. Where an organisation tracks its environmental footprint, those two facts carry weight at the moment of buying. A board that does an everyday job while reflecting a recycled, locally made supply chain is a small decision that lines up with a bigger commitment.
The materials are chosen to look as good as they perform. The pinboard half is finished in a soft grey felt that gives a calm, neutral background for whatever is displayed and takes pins or staples without leaving the surface ragged. The frame is a light wood-effect trim, warmer and more natural than a plain metal or plastic edge, which helps the board read as part of a considered interior rather than a purely functional fitting. Together the grey felt and the wood tone suit a public reception, a staffroom or an office without clashing with the decor around them.
Putting the board up is meant to be quick and tidy. A wall mounting kit comes supplied, and the fixings sit concealed, so the board fixes flat to the wall without screw heads or brackets on show. The dry-wipe half does not hold magnets, taking pen and erasing instead, so it is cleaned with a dry cloth and an occasional whiteboard cleaner between uses. The felt half is kept clear simply by removing old notices. A 2-year guarantee backs the board, and dry-wipe rather than permanent pens keep the writing surface in good order.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for a sustainable school or office?
A: An eco combination board, like the NB1861GY, suits a sustainable school or office well. The board is made from fully recycled materials in the UK, and combines a grey felt pinboard half with a non-magnetic dry-wipe half. The board measures 1200 by 900mm and mounts to the wall with concealed fixings.
Q: What can each half of the board be used for?
A: The grey felt half takes paper, with rotas, printed sheets and notices held by pins or staples, for information that stays up. The dry-wipe half takes messages, reminders and timetables that change day to day. Splitting the board this way lets standing notices and daily updates share one wall fixture instead of two.
Q: What materials is the board made from?
A: Recycled material makes up the whole board, the felt and the recycled-plastic wood-effect frame alike. Manufacture takes place in the UK, keeping the chain of supply behind it short and accountable. For an organisation tracking its environmental impact, those two facts make the board an easy one to sign off.
Q: Is the whiteboard half magnetic?
A: No. Magnets do not hold on the dry-wipe half, as that surface is non-magnetic. Written content goes on with dry-wipe pens and wipes off again, while printed material is pinned to the grey felt half instead. If holding paper with magnets matters, a magnetic steel whiteboard is the better choice.
Q: Is this board suitable for council and public buildings?
A: Yes. In a reception or public corridor, the felt half carries formal notices and guidance for the long term, while the dry-wipe half handles messages that change. A recycled, UK-built board sits well with a council watching both its budget and its environmental footprint.
Q: Does the board come with fixings to mount it?
A: Yes. A wall mounting kit is supplied in the box, and the fixings sit concealed for a tidy finish with no brackets on show. At just 6kg the board is easy for one person to lift, hold and screw to a solid wall. Check the wall can take the fixings before mounting, as with any board.
Q: What are the dimensions and weight of the board?
A: The board measures 1200mm wide by 900mm high and weighs 6kg. That compact landscape size suits one shared wall in a classroom, staffroom or office without taking it over. The felt and dry-wipe halves sit side by side across the width, giving room to both pin and write.
Q: What is the difference between this and the larger NB1864GR?
A: Both are grey eco combination boards pairing a pinnable felt area with a dry-wipe area. This board is 1200 by 900mm, suited to a single shared wall. The NB1864GR is larger at 1500 by 1200mm, for a busier wall with more to display. Choose this size for a compact space, or the larger board for more room.
Q: Do I need a combination board, or just a noticeboard?
A: A combination board earns its place where a space needs to both pin paper and write notes, since it pairs a pinnable felt surface with a writable dry-wipe one on a single fixture. If only pinning is ever needed, a felt-only noticeboard is simpler. The combination suits a wall that handles both standing and daily information.
Q: How is the board cleaned and looked after?
A: The dry-wipe half is cleaned with a dry cloth, with an occasional whiteboard cleaner for heavier marks, and only dry-wipe pens should be used to protect the surface. The felt half is kept clear by removing old notices and pins. Both halves need little upkeep beyond that day to day.
Q: Is this noticeboard available with UK delivery and a guarantee?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery and carries a 2-year guarantee. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, councils and offices with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders for several rooms or a whole site can be arranged through our team.
Q: Does the board come in other colours?
A: Yes. The same combination board comes in blue, red and green felt as well as this grey, all with the wood-effect frame. The grey felt gives a neutral, professional look that suits most interiors, while the brighter colours can help a board stand out or match a colour scheme.
Guides for Choosing and Using Noticeboards
A noticeboard works hardest when its surfaces, size and materials suit the room and the way a space communicates. Knowing when a felt, dry-wipe or combination board is the better fit, how recycled and sustainable options compare and how to organise a wall for clear communication all make a real difference. These guides cover choosing boards for offices and schools.
Overview
One Board for Pinning and Writing, Made the Greener Way
A pinboard and a whiteboard usually mean two separate fixtures on the wall. The NB1861GY brings both onto one board, splitting the surface into a grey felt half for pinning notices, rotas and printed sheets and a dry-wipe half for messages, reminders and quick updates you change by hand. That covers the two ways a shared space communicates, the things that stay up for a while and the things that change daily, without giving up wall area to a second board. It is built from fully recycled materials and made in the UK, so it suits an organisation working to lower its environmental impact, and a light wood-effect frame gives it a warm, modern look that sits well in a public or office interior. The whiteboard half is non-magnetic, written on and wiped with dry-wipe pens, while the felt half holds paper with pins or staples. It mounts to the wall with a concealed fixing kit and carries a 2-year guarantee. Best suited for schools, council buildings and green offices where one wall needs to both display and update, and sustainability matters.
