A Compact Board That Pins and Writes
Small spaces still need to share information, and the NB1860GY packs both jobs into a board that fits where a larger one would not. It sets a grey felt pinboard beside a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard, so notices pin to one half and quick updates are written and wiped on the other, all in a compact landscape unit suited to a staffroom wall, a small office or a classroom corner. The grey felt is deliberately neutral, sitting comfortably in modern and traditional interiors alike and giving pinned notices a clean backdrop rather than competing with them. It is made in the UK from 100% recycled materials and finished in a light wood-effect frame, so a tidy communication board comes without working against a sustainability or ESG commitment. Light enough to lift and hang easily, it mounts in landscape with the supplied concealed fixings, and a 2-year guarantee backs it. Best suited for staffrooms, small offices and classrooms where a compact board needs to pin and write at once and meet a green buying policy.
Why This Compact Grey Combination Board Earns Its Place
- Two surfaces in a small footprint: A grey felt pinboard sits next to a dry-wipe whiteboard, so notices pin on one half while messages are written on the other, all in a board sized for a tight wall. One compact unit does the work of two separate boards.
- Neutral grey that fits anywhere: The grey felt is a quiet, neutral tone that suits modern and traditional interiors alike, and gives pinned notices a clean backdrop instead of competing with them. It blends quietly into a room rather than drawing attention to itself the way a bolder colour would.
- Made in the UK from recycled materials: The board is manufactured in the UK from 100% recycled materials, so it can be specified in line with a sustainability or ESG commitment. The eco credentials are built into the product rather than added as a label.
- A warm wood-effect frame: A light wood-effect frame made from recycled plastic gives a softer, more contemporary edge than a metal trim, suiting an eco-minded interior. It keeps the board looking considered on the wall while staying light enough for one person to handle and hang easily.
- Non-magnetic dry-wipe half: The whiteboard side takes dry-wipe pens for quick updates and wipes back to clean, so the writing area stays clear for the next message. It handles the constantly changing notes that a busy shared space relies on from one day to the next.
- Backed for two years: A 2-year guarantee stands behind the board, reflecting a build made for the daily use of a staffroom, office or classroom. It is meant to keep performing for years of pinning and writing rather than wearing tired within months of regular handling.
Where a Compact Grey Combination Board Fits Best
| Staffrooms and Break Areas | Wall space is usually short in a staffroom, and a compact board fits where a large one cannot, holding rotas and notices on the felt while the whiteboard takes shift changes and reminders. The neutral grey keeps a busy break area looking calm rather than cluttered. |
| Small and Home Offices | Pin a few key documents, write the day's priorities beside them, and a small office has both in one place without a board taking over the wall. The recycled, UK-made build also appeals to a business reporting on its environmental footprint. |
| Classrooms and Education | Tucked into a classroom corner or by a doorway, the board pins worksheets and notices on the felt while the whiteboard carries daily messages. Its recycled construction helps a school meet its own sustainability commitments alongside the teaching. |
| Council and Public Offices | Standing notices and changing updates can share one tidy board in a public office, the felt holding policies and the whiteboard taking the day's detail. A UK-made, fully recycled build suits a body with environmental targets to report against. |
| Shared and Coworking Spaces | Several people pass a shared board through the day, pinning notices and writing quick messages in turn. The compact size suits a hot-desking corner, and the neutral grey and natural frame fit a workspace that values a calmer, more considered look. |
| Green Start-Ups and ESG Projects | Where low impact is part of the brief, a board made in the UK from recycled materials communicates without working against the goal. Combining a pinboard and whiteboard in one unit also reduces the footprint of buying two separate boards. |
Prefer a Different Colour or Size?
For a different look, the green felt version brings the same board in a calmer, more natural tone. For a larger wall, the 1200mm grey board steps up both surfaces.

The Displaysense NB1860GY is an Eco-Friendly Combination Grey Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. Dual-surface board with a grey felt pinboard and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard, in a light wood-effect frame. Dimensions 600mm W x 900mm H, landscape orientation. Weight 4kg. Made in the UK from 100% recycled materials, wood-effect frame in recycled plastic, concealed wall fixings supplied. 2-year guarantee. Best suited for staffrooms, small offices, classrooms, council offices and shared workspaces. Also available in green felt as the NB1860GN and in a larger 1200mm grey size as the NB1861GY. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
The board carries two surfaces because the information a space shares comes in two forms. Some of it needs to be pinned and left in place, such as a rota, a printed notice or a flyer, while some changes by the day and is better written and wiped. A felt half holds the first kind on pins, and a dry-wipe half takes the second. Bringing both together on a single unit lets one board cover pinning and writing, which matters most in a smaller space where two separate boards would simply not fit on the available wall at all.
Grey is a considered colour choice rather than a default. A coloured felt gives pinned items a backdrop so a white notice or a printed sheet stands out against it instead of fading in, and grey in particular stays neutral, sitting comfortably in a modern fit-out or a traditional room without clashing with either. That makes it an easy board to place in a shared space where individual tastes naturally differ. The felt also takes pins repeatedly without leaving obvious marks, so the surface keeps a tidy look through constant changes of what is on display.
The eco build is real rather than cosmetic. The board is made in the United Kingdom from 100% recycled materials, and the frame is a recycled plastic finished to resemble light wood, so the sustainability runs through the whole product rather than sitting on the label. For an organisation with environmental targets or an ESG project, that lets a communication board be specified as part of meeting those aims, and combining a pinboard and a whiteboard in one unit further reduces the footprint of buying two items separately.
Mounting and upkeep stay simple, which suits a compact board. A wall fixing kit is supplied with concealed fixings, so the board hangs cleanly in landscape with nothing else to source, and at a light overall weight it is easy for one person to position and fix on the wall. The whiteboard half cleans with a dry cloth and an occasional whiteboard cleaner for heavier marks, and using dry-wipe rather than permanent pens keeps it clear, while the felt simply needs an occasional brush or a light vacuum now and then to stay fresh. A full 2-year guarantee stands behind the board for genuine lasting reassurance.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 600mm (W) x 900mm (H) | A compact landscape size that fits a tight wall or a small corner where a larger noticeboard simply would not go, while still leaving room to pin and write side by side. |
| Surfaces | Grey felt and non-magnetic dry-wipe | A felt half to pin notices on and a whiteboard half to write on, so this one board both shows printed material and takes written updates together in a single place. |
| Felt Surface | Grey felt pinboard | A neutral grey ground that suits almost any interior scheme, and that gives pinned notices a clear and calm backdrop to stand out clearly against. |
| Whiteboard Surface | Non-magnetic dry-wipe | Accepts dry-wipe pens for quick team updates and erases back to clean each time, with a smooth, even face that does not hold any magnets. |
| Construction | 100% recycled materials | A fully recycled make-up lets the board be chosen neatly in line with a sustainability policy or an ESG commitment that has to be reported against. |
| Manufactured | Made in the UK | UK manufacture means a shorter supply chain and a reduced carbon impact, which suits a low-carbon or a green public procurement policy well. |
| Frame | Light wood-effect, recycled plastic | A warm wood-effect frame moulded from recycled plastic, so the look of the board and its eco credentials genuinely work together rather than pull apart. |
| Orientation | Landscape | A wide landscape format that spreads the felt and the whiteboard out side by side, suiting a small shared communication wall. |
| Weight | 4kg | A light board that one person can lift and fix easily on their own, with no heavy lifting needed at all to mount it onto a sound, solid wall. |
| Mounting | Concealed wall fixings supplied | The concealed fixings come supplied in the box, so the board mounts cleanly with no visible brackets on show at all and nothing extra to source. |
| Colour | Grey felt, oak-tone frame | A neutral grey and wood-effect finish that suits both modern and traditional rooms alike and keeps both pinned and written content easy to read. |
| Guarantee | 2-year guarantee | The board is backed for a full two years, giving you real lasting reassurance for a fixture in regular shared daily use. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Eco Combination Board
Q: What is the best small noticeboard for both pinning and writing?
A: A compact combination board, like the NB1860GY, does both on one unit. The board places a grey felt pinboard next to a dry-wipe writing area, non-magnetic, so notices go on one half and messages on the other. At 600 by 900mm, it is UK-built from recycled content with a 2-year guarantee.
Q: What surfaces does the board have?
A: The board has two surfaces. One half is a grey felt pinboard for holding printed notices, staff rotas and flyers with pins. The other half is a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard for written messages and updates. Combining both on one compact unit covers all the pinning and writing a smaller space needs where wall room is tight.
Q: What makes this noticeboard eco-friendly?
A: The board is UK-manufactured from 100% recycled materials, with a wood-effect frame moulded in recycled plastic. UK manufacture also shortens the supply chain. That lets an organisation specify the board within a sustainability target or an ESG project rather than working against one.
Q: Is the whiteboard half magnetic?
A: No. The whiteboard half is a non-magnetic dry-wipe surface, so magnets will not hold on it. The board is built for writing on the whiteboard and pinning on the felt, rather than holding material with magnets. The felt half takes the pins, which do the holding instead.
Q: Why is the felt grey, and what does it suit?
A: Grey felt is a neutral tone that settles into both modern and older interiors, so the board places easily in a shared space. The grey also gives pinned notices a clean backdrop to stand out against, rather than a strong colour that competes with what is pinned to it.
Q: Is this board suitable for staffrooms and small offices?
A: Yes. A staffroom holds its rotas and notices on the felt and writes shift changes on the whiteboard, and a small office keeps key documents and the day's priorities together. The compact size fits a tight wall, and the recycled, UK-made build suits a workplace reporting on its footprint.
Q: What size is the board, and which way does it mount?
A: 600mm wide by 900mm high, in a landscape format, weighing 4kg. The compact layout fits a small wall a larger board would overrun. At 4kg one person can mount it, and concealed wall fixings are supplied, so it hangs cleanly with no visible brackets and nothing extra to source.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1861GY?
A: Both are grey combination boards with a felt pinboard and a dry-wipe whiteboard, UK-built from recycled materials. The NB1860GY is compact at 600 by 900mm, for a tight wall. The NB1861GY is larger at 1200 by 900mm, for a busier space. Choose the small board for a corner, the larger for more room.
Q: Does a recycled board sacrifice quality?
A: No. The 100% recycled construction sits behind a full-quality felt pinboard and dry-wipe whiteboard, both built for daily shared use and backed by a 2-year guarantee. The board lets an organisation meet a green buying policy without giving up the practicality of a conventional combination board.
Q: How are the two surfaces cleaned and looked after?
A: The whiteboard half wipes with a dry cloth, and a whiteboard cleaner lifts heavier marks, so use dry-wipe rather than permanent pens to protect it. The felt half needs only an occasional brush or light vacuum to stay fresh. Both surfaces keep their appearance well through regular, repeated daily use.
Q: Is this board available with free 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 workplaces with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders for several rooms can be arranged through our team.
Q: Does it come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. The same 600 by 900mm board comes in green felt as the NB1860GN, and a larger 1200 by 900mm grey version is also available, all with the same recycled, UK-made build. Choose the colour that suits the room, or step up a size where a busier space needs more pinning and writing area.
Guides for Choosing and Using Display Boards
A combination board works best when its surfaces, colour and size suit the space and the way it is used. Knowing when a felt and whiteboard board beats a single surface, what a recycled, UK-made build offers a green policy, and how to organise a small, tidy wall all make a real difference.

- Two surfaces in a small footprint: A grey felt pinboard sits next to a dry-wipe whiteboard, so notices pin on one half while messages are written on the other, all in a board sized for a tight wall. One compact unit does the work of two separate boards.
- Neutral grey that fits anywhere: The grey felt is a quiet, neutral tone that suits modern and traditional interiors alike, and gives pinned notices a clean backdrop instead of competing with them. It blends quietly into a room rather than drawing attention to itself the way a bolder colour would.
- Made in the UK from recycled materials: The board is manufactured in the UK from 100% recycled materials, so it can be specified in line with a sustainability or ESG commitment. The eco credentials are built into the product rather than added as a label.
- A warm wood-effect frame: A light wood-effect frame made from recycled plastic gives a softer, more contemporary edge than a metal trim, suiting an eco-minded interior. It keeps the board looking considered on the wall while staying light enough for one person to handle and hang easily.
- Non-magnetic dry-wipe half: The whiteboard side takes dry-wipe pens for quick updates and wipes back to clean, so the writing area stays clear for the next message. It handles the constantly changing notes that a busy shared space relies on from one day to the next.
- Backed for two years: A 2-year guarantee stands behind the board, reflecting a build made for the daily use of a staffroom, office or classroom. It is meant to keep performing for years of pinning and writing rather than wearing tired within months of regular handling.
Where a Compact Grey Combination Board Fits Best
| Staffrooms and Break Areas | Wall space is usually short in a staffroom, and a compact board fits where a large one cannot, holding rotas and notices on the felt while the whiteboard takes shift changes and reminders. The neutral grey keeps a busy break area looking calm rather than cluttered. |
| Small and Home Offices | Pin a few key documents, write the day's priorities beside them, and a small office has both in one place without a board taking over the wall. The recycled, UK-made build also appeals to a business reporting on its environmental footprint. |
| Classrooms and Education | Tucked into a classroom corner or by a doorway, the board pins worksheets and notices on the felt while the whiteboard carries daily messages. Its recycled construction helps a school meet its own sustainability commitments alongside the teaching. |
| Council and Public Offices | Standing notices and changing updates can share one tidy board in a public office, the felt holding policies and the whiteboard taking the day's detail. A UK-made, fully recycled build suits a body with environmental targets to report against. |
| Shared and Coworking Spaces | Several people pass a shared board through the day, pinning notices and writing quick messages in turn. The compact size suits a hot-desking corner, and the neutral grey and natural frame fit a workspace that values a calmer, more considered look. |
| Green Start-Ups and ESG Projects | Where low impact is part of the brief, a board made in the UK from recycled materials communicates without working against the goal. Combining a pinboard and whiteboard in one unit also reduces the footprint of buying two separate boards. |
Prefer a Different Colour or Size?
For a different look, the green felt version brings the same board in a calmer, more natural tone. For a larger wall, the 1200mm grey board steps up both surfaces.

The Displaysense NB1860GY is an Eco-Friendly Combination Grey Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. Dual-surface board with a grey felt pinboard and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard, in a light wood-effect frame. Dimensions 600mm W x 900mm H, landscape orientation. Weight 4kg. Made in the UK from 100% recycled materials, wood-effect frame in recycled plastic, concealed wall fixings supplied. 2-year guarantee. Best suited for staffrooms, small offices, classrooms, council offices and shared workspaces. Also available in green felt as the NB1860GN and in a larger 1200mm grey size as the NB1861GY. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
The board carries two surfaces because the information a space shares comes in two forms. Some of it needs to be pinned and left in place, such as a rota, a printed notice or a flyer, while some changes by the day and is better written and wiped. A felt half holds the first kind on pins, and a dry-wipe half takes the second. Bringing both together on a single unit lets one board cover pinning and writing, which matters most in a smaller space where two separate boards would simply not fit on the available wall at all.
Grey is a considered colour choice rather than a default. A coloured felt gives pinned items a backdrop so a white notice or a printed sheet stands out against it instead of fading in, and grey in particular stays neutral, sitting comfortably in a modern fit-out or a traditional room without clashing with either. That makes it an easy board to place in a shared space where individual tastes naturally differ. The felt also takes pins repeatedly without leaving obvious marks, so the surface keeps a tidy look through constant changes of what is on display.
The eco build is real rather than cosmetic. The board is made in the United Kingdom from 100% recycled materials, and the frame is a recycled plastic finished to resemble light wood, so the sustainability runs through the whole product rather than sitting on the label. For an organisation with environmental targets or an ESG project, that lets a communication board be specified as part of meeting those aims, and combining a pinboard and a whiteboard in one unit further reduces the footprint of buying two items separately.
Mounting and upkeep stay simple, which suits a compact board. A wall fixing kit is supplied with concealed fixings, so the board hangs cleanly in landscape with nothing else to source, and at a light overall weight it is easy for one person to position and fix on the wall. The whiteboard half cleans with a dry cloth and an occasional whiteboard cleaner for heavier marks, and using dry-wipe rather than permanent pens keeps it clear, while the felt simply needs an occasional brush or a light vacuum now and then to stay fresh. A full 2-year guarantee stands behind the board for genuine lasting reassurance.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |

| Manufactured | Made in the UK | UK manufacture means a shorter supply chain and a reduced carbon impact, which suits a low-carbon or a green public procurement policy well. |
| Frame | Light wood-effect, recycled plastic | A warm wood-effect frame moulded from recycled plastic, so the look of the board and its eco credentials genuinely work together rather than pull apart. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Eco Combination Board
Q: What is the best small noticeboard for both pinning and writing?
A: A compact combination board, like the NB1860GY, does both on one unit. The board places a grey felt pinboard next to a dry-wipe writing area, non-magnetic, so notices go on one half and messages on the other. At 600 by 900mm, it is UK-built from recycled content with a 2-year guarantee.
Q: What surfaces does the board have?
A: The board has two surfaces. One half is a grey felt pinboard for holding printed notices, staff rotas and flyers with pins. The other half is a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard for written messages and updates. Combining both on one compact unit covers all the pinning and writing a smaller space needs where wall room is tight.
Q: What makes this noticeboard eco-friendly?
A: The board is UK-manufactured from 100% recycled materials, with a wood-effect frame moulded in recycled plastic. UK manufacture also shortens the supply chain. That lets an organisation specify the board within a sustainability target or an ESG project rather than working against one.
Q: Is the whiteboard half magnetic?
A: No. The whiteboard half is a non-magnetic dry-wipe surface, so magnets will not hold on it. The board is built for writing on the whiteboard and pinning on the felt, rather than holding material with magnets. The felt half takes the pins, which do the holding instead.
Q: Why is the felt grey, and what does it suit?
A: Grey felt is a neutral tone that settles into both modern and older interiors, so the board places easily in a shared space. The grey also gives pinned notices a clean backdrop to stand out against, rather than a strong colour that competes with what is pinned to it.
Q: Is this board suitable for staffrooms and small offices?
A: Yes. A staffroom holds its rotas and notices on the felt and writes shift changes on the whiteboard, and a small office keeps key documents and the day's priorities together. The compact size fits a tight wall, and the recycled, UK-made build suits a workplace reporting on its footprint.
Q: What size is the board, and which way does it mount?
A: 600mm wide by 900mm high, in a landscape format, weighing 4kg. The compact layout fits a small wall a larger board would overrun. At 4kg one person can mount it, and concealed wall fixings are supplied, so it hangs cleanly with no visible brackets and nothing extra to source.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1861GY?
A: Both are grey combination boards with a felt pinboard and a dry-wipe whiteboard, UK-built from recycled materials. The NB1860GY is compact at 600 by 900mm, for a tight wall. The NB1861GY is larger at 1200 by 900mm, for a busier space. Choose the small board for a corner, the larger for more room.
Q: Does a recycled board sacrifice quality?
A: No. The 100% recycled construction sits behind a full-quality felt pinboard and dry-wipe whiteboard, both built for daily shared use and backed by a 2-year guarantee. The board lets an organisation meet a green buying policy without giving up the practicality of a conventional combination board.
Q: How are the two surfaces cleaned and looked after?
A: The whiteboard half wipes with a dry cloth, and a whiteboard cleaner lifts heavier marks, so use dry-wipe rather than permanent pens to protect it. The felt half needs only an occasional brush or light vacuum to stay fresh. Both surfaces keep their appearance well through regular, repeated daily use.
Q: Is this board available with free 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 workplaces with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders for several rooms can be arranged through our team.
Q: Does it come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. The same 600 by 900mm board comes in green felt as the NB1860GN, and a larger 1200 by 900mm grey version is also available, all with the same recycled, UK-made build. Choose the colour that suits the room, or step up a size where a busier space needs more pinning and writing area.
Guides for Choosing and Using Display Boards
A combination board works best when its surfaces, colour and size suit the space and the way it is used. Knowing when a felt and whiteboard board beats a single surface, what a recycled, UK-made build offers a green policy, and how to organise a small, tidy wall all make a real difference. These guides cover choosing and using boards in offices and schools.
Overview
A Compact Board That Pins and Writes
Small spaces still need to share information, and the NB1860GY packs both jobs into a board that fits where a larger one would not. It sets a grey felt pinboard beside a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard, so notices pin to one half and quick updates are written and wiped on the other, all in a compact landscape unit suited to a staffroom wall, a small office or a classroom corner. The grey felt is deliberately neutral, sitting comfortably in modern and traditional interiors alike and giving pinned notices a clean backdrop rather than competing with them. It is made in the UK from 100% recycled materials and finished in a light wood-effect frame, so a tidy communication board comes without working against a sustainability or ESG commitment. Light enough to lift and hang easily, it mounts in landscape with the supplied concealed fixings, and a 2-year guarantee backs it. Best suited for staffrooms, small offices and classrooms where a compact board needs to pin and write at once and meet a green buying policy.
