One Board for the Notices That Stay and the Ones That Change
Most rooms juggle two kinds of information. There are permanent notices that need to stay pinned up, and quick updates that change by the day. The NB1862GR handles both on a single board. One area is a grey felt pinboard that holds posters, notices and printed sheets securely on pins, while the other is a smooth dry-wipe panel for writing that you can change in seconds. Keeping both on one frame means a staff room or ward hub has its standing information and its live updates side by side rather than spread across two separate boards. The frame is wooden with a sustainably sourced core, a more environmentally conscious build than a plastic or metal noticeboard, and the muted grey felt gives a calm, professional, low-glare backdrop that suits an office, school or clinical wall. It is non-magnetic, made for pinning and writing, and backed by a 2-year guarantee. Best suited for staff rooms, lecture theatres and NHS ward hubs where standing notices and changeable updates need to share one clear, large display.
Why a Combination Felt and Dry-Wipe Board Works Harder
- Two surfaces, two jobs: A grey felt pin area holds long-term notices, posters and printed sheets securely, while a smooth dry-wipe panel takes pen for updates you change daily. The board keeps your fixed reference material and your live information together in one place rather than competing for the same surface.
- Felt that grips for the long term: The felt pin surface is made for frequent pinning and unpinning without losing its grip or looking tired, so notices sit flat and secure and the board still looks tidy after heavy use. It suits a wall where the same notices stay up for weeks while others come and go around them.
- Calm, professional grey: The neutral grey felt gives a low-glare, understated backdrop that lets the content stand out and suits a professional, academic or clinical room. It works in both formal and casual spaces without the visual noise of a brighter colour, keeping a shared wall looking considered.
- A more eco-conscious build: The frame is wooden and the core is sustainably sourced, a more environmentally conscious choice than a plastic or aluminium board, so it supports greener purchasing without giving up everyday durability. It is a practical option for organisations weighing sustainability alongside performance.
- Sized to be seen across a room: The large format gives room for several notices and updates at once and stays readable from across a busy space, so a whole team or department can take in the board at a glance. It suits a shared room where information has to reach a lot of people.
- Made for pinning and writing: The board is non-magnetic by design, built specifically for pins and dry-wipe pens rather than magnets, which keeps both surfaces doing what they do best. A 2-year manufacturer guarantee backs it for confident everyday use in a demanding, shared space.
Where a Large Grey Combination Board Fits Best
| Offices and Staff Rooms | Teams pin project timelines, meeting schedules and standing policies to the felt, and write daily announcements or reminders on the dry-wipe panel. The neutral grey suits a professional office, keeping permanent and changing information clearly separated on one wall. |
| Schools and Universities | Classrooms and departments pin lesson plans, student work and event posters to the felt and use the dry-wipe side for the day's notes or reminders. The large surface gives space for plenty of material, and the calm grey keeps a busy display easy to read. |
| Lecture Theatres and Halls | Larger teaching spaces use the board for course information, timetables and notices pinned for the term, with quick updates written alongside. The size keeps it visible from the back of a hall, so a room full of students can take it in at a glance. |
| NHS Ward Hubs and Healthcare | Ward hubs use the felt for shift rotas, safety notices and standing guidance, and the dry-wipe panel for live status or daily updates. The low-glare grey suits a clinical setting where a calm, professional and readable board matters. |
| Reception and Communal Areas | Entrances and shared spaces pin welcome information, events and notices to the felt while keeping a writable panel for daily messages. The wooden frame and muted tone look deliberate in an area that visitors and staff see every day. |
| Community and Public Buildings | Libraries, halls and public offices use the combination board for posters and standing notices alongside changeable announcements. The eco-conscious build suits organisations with sustainability goals, and the large surface keeps information clear. |
Need a Different Size?
For the widest wall, the extra-large grey combination board offers the same felt and dry-wipe surfaces on a bigger scale. For a tighter space, the smaller grey combination board keeps the same eco-friendly build in a more compact frame. Blue, red and green felt options are also available.

The Displaysense NB1862GR is an Eco-Friendly Combination Grey Felt Noticeboard with whiteboard. Combination board with a grey felt pinboard area and a dry-wipe whiteboard panel in one frame, non-magnetic, for pinning and writing. Surface dimensions 1800mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 6kg. Wooden frame with a sustainably sourced core, grey felt finish. Wall-mounted. 2-year manufacturer guarantee. Suited to staff rooms, offices, schools, lecture theatres, NHS ward hubs and communal areas. Also available in a larger NB1863GR and smaller NB1864GR, and in blue, red and green felt. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
A combination board exists because the two main ways of sharing information do not sit well on the same surface. Pinned notices need a surface that holds a pin and keeps paper flat, while written updates need a smooth panel that wipes clean. This board gives you both, with a felt pin area on one part and a dry-wipe whiteboard panel on the other, within a single frame. The result is that long-term material and changeable notes each get the surface that suits them, instead of competing for one. For a room that does both kinds of communication, that is more useful than two separate boards on two separate walls.
The pin area uses a grey felt rather than cork or foam, and the colour is a deliberate choice. Felt grips a pin firmly and releases it cleanly, so notices stay put through frequent changes without the surface tearing or pocking the way softer materials do. The understated grey feels calm and professional rather than busy, which keeps a wall full of notices easy to scan, and it gives a low-glare backdrop in rooms with bright lighting. It is a tone that settles into an office, a school corridor or a clinical area without drawing attention to the board itself.
The construction is where the eco-friendly description comes from. The frame is wooden rather than plastic or aluminium, and the board core is sustainably sourced, so the materials carry a lower environmental footprint than a conventional board. That matters increasingly to schools, healthcare trusts and businesses with sustainability commitments, who can choose this board without trading away the durability they need. It is a practical, everyday product first, with the greener build as a genuine benefit rather than a token gesture.
The board is built for regular service in a shared space. Both surfaces are non-magnetic by design, intended for pins on the felt and dry-wipe pens on the panel rather than magnets, which keeps each surface doing its job well. It is light for its size, so it is straightforward to position and mount on a wall, and a 2-year manufacturer guarantee stands behind it for everyday service. To keep it looking its best, the dry-wipe panel takes a normal wipe with a whiteboard cleaner, and the felt simply needs an occasional brush or light vacuum to stay fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for both permanent notices and daily updates?
A: A combination board that pairs a felt pinning section with a dry-wipe writing section, like the NB1862GR, handles both. The felt holds posters and standing notices on pins, while the smooth panel takes pen for notes that change from one day to the next. One frame keeps fixed reference material and live information side by side.
Q: How does this dual-surface pin and write board work?
A: The board splits into two surfaces in one frame. A grey felt area grips drawing pins, so posters and printed sheets stay flat and secure for the long term. A separate smooth panel takes dry-wipe pens for notes you wipe off and rewrite. Drawing pins go into the felt and pens onto the panel, and magnets are not used at all.
Q: Can we keep both permanent and rotating content on one board?
A: Yes. The felt side keeps long-term notices, posters and policies pinned securely, while the dry-wipe section handles the quick changes you make day to day. A staff room or ward hub can then hold both its fixed reference material and its rotating updates on a single board rather than two.
Q: Is this board suitable for offices and staff rooms?
A: Yes. A team can pin its timelines, rotas and reference documents onto the felt, leaving the dry-wipe side free for the day's messages. The understated grey looks at home in a professional office, and the wide format leaves room for a whole department's material without it feeling crowded.
Q: Is this board suitable for NHS wards and healthcare settings?
A: Yes. On a ward, the felt holds rota sheets, safety information and other standing guidance, while the dry-wipe panel carries live status or the day's updates. The muted grey reads as calm and easy to scan, which suits a clinical area where a board's appearance matters as much as its use.
Q: Is it magnetic?
A: No. Both surfaces are non-magnetic and made specifically for pinning and writing only. You pin notices to the felt and write on the dry-wipe panel, but magnets will not hold on either face. If you need a magnetic surface, choose a magnetic whiteboard rather than this combination board.
Q: Is this an eco-friendly product?
A: Yes. It uses a wooden frame and a sustainably sourced core, which carries a lower environmental footprint than a typical plastic or metal noticeboard. That greener build appeals to schools, NHS trusts and companies working towards sustainability goals, while still standing up to daily use in a shared space.
Q: What is the difference between this and a plain whiteboard?
A: A plain whiteboard gives you only a dry-wipe writing surface. This combination board adds a grey felt pin area alongside the dry-wipe panel, so you can pin permanent notices as well as write changeable ones. Choose a plain whiteboard if you only write, or this board if you also need to pin printed material.
Q: Will the felt surface last in a high-use environment?
A: Yes. The grey felt takes repeated pinning and unpinning without going slack or scruffy, so sheets sit flat and the surface keeps its appearance under heavy traffic. It copes well with a mix of long-standing notices and items that are swapped out regularly during the week.
Q: How do I keep the two surfaces clean?
A: Wipe the dry-wipe panel with a dry cloth or eraser after use, and use a whiteboard cleaner about once a week, using only dry-wipe pens. The felt needs only an occasional light brush or vacuum to lift dust and keep it fresh. Treated this way, both surfaces stay presentable for the long term.
Q: Is this noticeboard available with UK delivery and a guarantee?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery and comes with a 2-year manufacturer guarantee for regular use. Displaysense has supplied UK offices, schools and healthcare sites with display products since 1978. Bulk orders for several rooms, sizes or felt colours can be arranged through our team.
Q: Does this board come in other sizes and colours?
A: Yes. The same grey combination board comes in a larger NB1863GR and a smaller NB1864GR, and the felt is also offered in blue, red and green across the range. Choose this 1800 by 1200mm grey board for a large shared room, or pick the size and colour that best fit your space and decor.
Guides for Choosing and Organising Noticeboards
A combination board works hardest when its surfaces, size and place in the room are matched to the way a team shares information. Knowing how to choose between felt, cork and dry-wipe, how to size a board to the wall and how to lay out a busy display all make a real difference. These guides cover choosing and getting the most from boards.

Best suited for staff rooms, lecture theatres and NHS ward hubs where standing notices and changeable updates need to share one clear, large display.
Why a Combination Felt and Dry-Wipe Board Works Harder
- Two surfaces, two jobs: A grey felt pin area holds long-term notices, posters and printed sheets securely, while a smooth dry-wipe panel takes pen for updates you change daily. The board keeps your fixed reference material and your live information together in one place rather than competing for the same surface.
- Felt that grips for the long term: The felt pin surface is made for frequent pinning and unpinning without losing its grip or looking tired, so notices sit flat and secure and the board still looks tidy after heavy use. It suits a wall where the same notices stay up for weeks while others come and go around them.
- Calm, professional grey: The neutral grey felt gives a low-glare, understated backdrop that lets the content stand out and suits a professional, academic or clinical room. It works in both formal and casual spaces without the visual noise of a brighter colour, keeping a shared wall looking considered.
- A more eco-conscious build: The frame is wooden and the core is sustainably sourced, a more environmentally conscious choice than a plastic or aluminium board, so it supports greener purchasing without giving up everyday durability. It is a practical option for organisations weighing sustainability alongside performance.
- Sized to be seen across a room: The large format gives room for several notices and updates at once and stays readable from across a busy space, so a whole team or department can take in the board at a glance. It suits a shared room where information has to reach a lot of people.
- Made for pinning and writing: The board is non-magnetic by design, built specifically for pins and dry-wipe pens rather than magnets, which keeps both surfaces doing what they do best. A 2-year manufacturer guarantee backs it for confident everyday use in a demanding, shared space.
Where a Large Grey Combination Board Fits Best
| Offices and Staff Rooms | Teams pin project timelines, meeting schedules and standing policies to the felt, and write daily announcements or reminders on the dry-wipe panel. The neutral grey suits a professional office, keeping permanent and changing information clearly separated on one wall. |
| Schools and Universities | Classrooms and departments pin lesson plans, student work and event posters to the felt and use the dry-wipe side for the day's notes or reminders. The large surface gives space for plenty of material, and the calm grey keeps a busy display easy to read. |
| Lecture Theatres and Halls | Larger teaching spaces use the board for course information, timetables and notices pinned for the term, with quick updates written alongside. The size keeps it visible from the back of a hall, so a room full of students can take it in at a glance. |
| NHS Ward Hubs and Healthcare | Ward hubs use the felt for shift rotas, safety notices and standing guidance, and the dry-wipe panel for live status or daily updates. The low-glare grey suits a clinical setting where a calm, professional and readable board matters. |
| Reception and Communal Areas | Entrances and shared spaces pin welcome information, events and notices to the felt while keeping a writable panel for daily messages. The wooden frame and muted tone look deliberate in an area that visitors and staff see every day. |
| Community and Public Buildings | Libraries, halls and public offices use the combination board for posters and standing notices alongside changeable announcements. The eco-conscious build suits organisations with sustainability goals, and the large surface keeps information clear. |
Need a Different Size?
For the widest wall, the extra-large grey combination board offers the same felt and dry-wipe surfaces on a bigger scale. For a tighter space, the smaller grey combination board keeps the same eco-friendly build in a more compact frame. Blue, red and green felt options are also available.

The Displaysense NB1862GR is an Eco-Friendly Combination Grey Felt Noticeboard with whiteboard. Combination board with a grey felt pinboard area and a dry-wipe whiteboard panel in one frame, non-magnetic, for pinning and writing. Surface dimensions 1800mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 6kg. Wooden frame with a sustainably sourced core, grey felt finish. Wall-mounted. 2-year manufacturer guarantee. Suited to staff rooms, offices, schools, lecture theatres, NHS ward hubs and communal areas. Also available in a larger NB1863GR and smaller NB1864GR, and in blue, red and green felt. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
A combination board exists because the two main ways of sharing information do not sit well on the same surface. Pinned notices need a surface that holds a pin and keeps paper flat, while written updates need a smooth panel that wipes clean. This board gives you both, with a felt pin area on one part and a dry-wipe whiteboard panel on the other, within a single frame. The result is that long-term material and changeable notes each get the surface that suits them, instead of competing for one. For a room that does both kinds of communication, that is more useful than two separate boards on two separate walls.
The pin area uses a grey felt rather than cork or foam, and the colour is a deliberate choice. Felt grips a pin firmly and releases it cleanly, so notices stay put through frequent changes without the surface tearing or pocking the way softer materials do. The understated grey feels calm and professional rather than busy, which keeps a wall full of notices easy to scan, and it gives a low-glare backdrop in rooms with bright lighting. It is a tone that settles into an office, a school corridor or a clinical area without drawing attention to the board itself.
The construction is where the eco-friendly description comes from. The frame is wooden rather than plastic or aluminium, and the board core is sustainably sourced, so the materials carry a lower environmental footprint than a conventional board. That matters increasingly to schools, healthcare trusts and businesses with sustainability commitments, who can choose this board without trading away the durability they need. It is a practical, everyday product first, with the greener build as a genuine benefit rather than a token gesture.
The board is built for regular service in a shared space. Both surfaces are non-magnetic by design, intended for pins on the felt and dry-wipe pens on the panel rather than magnets, which keeps each surface doing its job well. It is light for its size, so it is straightforward to position and mount on a wall, and a 2-year manufacturer guarantee stands behind it for everyday service. To keep it looking its best, the dry-wipe panel takes a normal wipe with a whiteboard cleaner, and the felt simply needs an occasional brush or light vacuum to stay fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for both permanent notices and daily updates?
A: A combination board that pairs a felt pinning section with a dry-wipe writing section, like the NB1862GR, handles both. The felt holds posters and standing notices on pins, while the smooth panel takes pen for notes that change from one day to the next. One frame keeps fixed reference material and live information side by side.
Q: How does this dual-surface pin and write board work?
A: The board splits into two surfaces in one frame. A grey felt area grips drawing pins, so posters and printed sheets stay flat and secure for the long term. A separate smooth panel takes dry-wipe pens for notes you wipe off and rewrite. Drawing pins go into the felt and pens onto the panel, and magnets are not used at all.
Q: Can we keep both permanent and rotating content on one board?
A: Yes. The felt side keeps long-term notices, posters and policies pinned securely, while the dry-wipe section handles the quick changes you make day to day. A staff room or ward hub can then hold both its fixed reference material and its rotating updates on a single board rather than two.
Q: Is this board suitable for offices and staff rooms?
A: Yes. A team can pin its timelines, rotas and reference documents onto the felt, leaving the dry-wipe side free for the day's messages. The understated grey looks at home in a professional office, and the wide format leaves room for a whole department's material without it feeling crowded.
Q: Is this board suitable for NHS wards and healthcare settings?
A: Yes. On a ward, the felt holds rota sheets, safety information and other standing guidance, while the dry-wipe panel carries live status or the day's updates. The muted grey reads as calm and easy to scan, which suits a clinical area where a board's appearance matters as much as its use.
Q: Is it magnetic?
A: No. Both surfaces are non-magnetic and made specifically for pinning and writing only. You pin notices to the felt and write on the dry-wipe panel, but magnets will not hold on either face. If you need a magnetic surface, choose a magnetic whiteboard rather than this combination board.
Q: Is this an eco-friendly product?
A: Yes. It uses a wooden frame and a sustainably sourced core, which carries a lower environmental footprint than a typical plastic or metal noticeboard. That greener build appeals to schools, NHS trusts and companies working towards sustainability goals, while still standing up to daily use in a shared space.
Q: What is the difference between this and a plain whiteboard?
A: A plain whiteboard gives you only a dry-wipe writing surface. This combination board adds a grey felt pin area alongside the dry-wipe panel, so you can pin permanent notices as well as write changeable ones. Choose a plain whiteboard if you only write, or this board if you also need to pin printed material.
Q: Will the felt surface last in a high-use environment?
A: Yes. The grey felt takes repeated pinning and unpinning without going slack or scruffy, so sheets sit flat and the surface keeps its appearance under heavy traffic. It copes well with a mix of long-standing notices and items that are swapped out regularly during the week.
Q: How do I keep the two surfaces clean?
A: Wipe the dry-wipe panel with a dry cloth or eraser after use, and use a whiteboard cleaner about once a week, using only dry-wipe pens. The felt needs only an occasional light brush or vacuum to lift dust and keep it fresh. Treated this way, both surfaces stay presentable for the long term.
Q: Is this noticeboard available with UK delivery and a guarantee?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery and comes with a 2-year manufacturer guarantee for regular use. Displaysense has supplied UK offices, schools and healthcare sites with display products since 1978. Bulk orders for several rooms, sizes or felt colours can be arranged through our team.
Q: Does this board come in other sizes and colours?
A: Yes. The same grey combination board comes in a larger NB1863GR and a smaller NB1864GR, and the felt is also offered in blue, red and green across the range. Choose this 1800 by 1200mm grey board for a large shared room, or pick the size and colour that best fit your space and decor.
Guides for Choosing and Organising Noticeboards
A combination board works hardest when its surfaces, size and place in the room are matched to the way a team shares information. Knowing how to choose between felt, cork and dry-wipe, how to size a board to the wall and how to lay out a busy display all make a real difference. These guides cover choosing and getting the most from boards.
Overview
One Board for the Notices That Stay and the Ones That Change
Most rooms juggle two kinds of information. There are permanent notices that need to stay pinned up, and quick updates that change by the day. The NB1862GR handles both on a single board. One area is a grey felt pinboard that holds posters, notices and printed sheets securely on pins, while the other is a smooth dry-wipe panel for writing that you can change in seconds. Keeping both on one frame means a staff room or ward hub has its standing information and its live updates side by side rather than spread across two separate boards. The frame is wooden with a sustainably sourced core, a more environmentally conscious build than a plastic or metal noticeboard, and the muted grey felt gives a calm, professional, low-glare backdrop that suits an office, school or clinical wall. It is non-magnetic, made for pinning and writing, and backed by a 2-year guarantee. Best suited for staff rooms, lecture theatres and NHS ward hubs where standing notices and changeable updates need to share one clear, large display.
