A Red Combination Board That Commands the Wall
Some boards sit quietly on a wall and some pull the room toward them, and this one is built to be the second kind. The NB1859R combines a bold red felt pinboard with a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard in an even square format, so the board reads as a deliberate central point rather than a strip tucked along the wall. Red gives the board presence, drawing the eye to a single spot where the key information lives, while the shape gives the felt and the writing halves close to equal room, so a proper run of notices can stay pinned with a full writing area alongside. That makes the board a natural anchor in a classroom, a community centre or an office, the place people look to first for what is on and what has changed. The deep red felt sits cleanly behind pinned posters and schedules, keeping a busy focal board organised rather than chaotic. Both halves sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer, more natural look than plain plastic and a lower-impact choice besides. The board is made in the UK and arrives ready to hang with a wall mount kit supplied. A two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for schools, community centres and eco-conscious offices where one bold board needs to gather attention and information in a single place.
Why This Red Square Combination Board Earns Its Place
- A bold focal point: Red gives the board real presence on a wall, pulling the eye to one central spot, so the notices that matter are the first thing people see when they walk into a classroom, office or community room.
- Equal room for both jobs: The even proportions give the red felt and the whiteboard close to matching space, so a full run of notices can stay pinned while a proper writing area sits ready beside them for the day's messages.
- Red felt that holds attention: The deep red surface keeps pinned posters and printed sheets sharp and readable, so even a heavily used board stays clear and organised rather than turning into a cluttered patchwork.
- Recycled, made in the UK: A warm wood-effect frame built in the UK from recycled stock means a board on prominent display can sit in line with a school or office's environmental commitments rather than cutting against them.
- A clean writing half: The dry-wipe side handles handwritten notes with any standard marker and erases for the next message, though the panel is non-magnetic, so anything to fix in place goes on the red felt with a pin rather than a magnet.
- Takes pins and staples: The red felt grips push pins and staples alike, so printed sheets, posters and fabric-backed cards all fix securely across the surface and then lift away cleanly when the board is refreshed.
Where This Red Square Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Schools and Classrooms | A classroom needs one clear place pupils know to check. Timetables, letters and class notices pin or staple to the bold red felt where they catch the eye, while the dry-wipe half carries the date, tasks and reminders that change across the school day. |
| Community Centres and Hubs | Community buildings post a steady run of public information that everyone should see. The red felt presents notices, leaflets and event posters as a central display people are drawn to, and the dry-wipe side takes changing updates such as session or class times. |
| Eco-Conscious Offices | Workplaces tracking sustainability targets want fixtures that match their values. The recycled board holds team notices and schedules on the red felt and live to-dos on the writing half, working as a central communal board while keeping the impact low. |
| Universities and Colleges | Campus offices and shared areas juggle reference material and live deadlines together. Pinning policies, timetables and notices to the red felt keeps them prominent, while the writing side tracks meeting reminders and deadlines that move week to week. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | Front desks have to share key information while staying tidy. Notices and welcome material hold on the red felt as an eye-catching focal display, and the writing half handles changing messages such as opening times or daily announcements for visitors. |
| Breakout Rooms and Staff Areas | Staff rooms and breakout spaces gather rotas, notices and quick planning in one spot. The red felt keeps the rota and key notices on show where staff check them, while the writing half gives a full area for ideas and reminders through the day. |
Need a Different Size?
For a landscape wall, the 1200 x 900mm red board is a landscape-format alternative. For more surface again, the 1500 x 1200mm red board steps up.

The Displaysense NB1859R is an Eco-Friendly Combination Red Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A square combination board with a red 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. Red felt pinboard compatible with pins and staples, non-magnetic dry-wipe writing surface, recycled wood-effect frame, wall mount kit supplied, two-year guarantee. Best suited for schools, community centres, universities and eco-conscious offices where a bold central board gathers attention and information. Also available in a 1200 x 900mm size such as the NB1861R and a 1500 x 1200mm size such as the NB1864RD. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
A board earns a place on the wall by being the one people look to, and colour plus shape decide whether a board manages that. Red carries a presence that a plain neutral board never quite will, pulling the eye to a single point on the wall, and a square outline reads as a deliberate, self-contained block rather than a thin strip running along beside the door. Put the two together and the result is a board that acts as the room's reference point, the natural first place that a class, a team or a community group will check for what is happening and what has recently changed.
The surface splits evenly into two working halves. One side is a red felt panel that takes pins and staples and holds posters, schedules and notices for as long as they need to stay up on show, while the other is a dry-wipe panel that clears cleanly after each use, ready for the very next message to go up. Because the format is square rather than long and narrow, neither half ends up squeezed into a thin band, so a full set of pinned material and a genuine writing area can share the board comfortably without one of them crowding the other off the wall.
The red felt is built to be worked hard, taking a pin or a staple and closing back around the fixing each time. Notices, posters and fabric-backed pieces all hold firmly in place and then peel away cleanly when the board is next cleared, and the felt keeps a tidy finish even across repeated everyday use. Flip to the dry-wipe half and the routine reverses, with standard markers writing on and wiping straight off for the next note, though that panel is non-magnetic, so anything that needs holding goes on the felt under a pin, not a magnet.
Behind the two surfaces, the build is made with the environment in mind. The light wood-effect frame is produced in the UK from recycled stock, cutting out the new plastic that a standard board depends on and lending a warmer, softer look than the cold rim of an all-plastic surround. The board stays light to handle even at this size, comes supplied with a wall mount kit for a clean, simple fit, and a full two-year guarantee reflects a unit built for steady daily use as the main board in a busy room.

| 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 | Red 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 | Bold red felt pinboard | A bold red ground that pulls the eye straight to the board and keeps pinned posters and notices sharp across a full half of the surface. |
| 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 red 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 the look of the board on a wall and suits an eco-aware office, a school or a busy community hub. |
| 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 mount kit included | The wall mount kit comes supplied inside the pack, so the board hangs up 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 room. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Red Square Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard to use as a central display?
A: A bold square combination board, like the NB1859R, works well as a central display. The 1200 by 1200mm format and bold red felt draw the eye to one central spot, setting a red felt pinboard beside a non-magnetic dry-wipe writing half. The board weighs 6kg and carries a two-year guarantee.
Q: Why choose red felt for a noticeboard?
A: Red felt gives a board real presence, pulling the eye to one place so the most important notices are the first thing seen. On a central board in a classroom, an office or a community room, that bold colour helps the important information stand out clearly instead of quietly blending into a neutral wall.
Q: What surfaces does the board have?
A: The board is split into two surfaces, a red felt pinboard on one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard on the other. The felt holds notices and posters 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 red 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 feature wall in a classroom, hub or office. A wall mount kit is supplied, and the square format mounts either way up, sitting as a central block rather than a long strip.
Q: Can the felt take staples as well as pins?
A: Yes. The red 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 term or quarter 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, suiting schools, councils and offices working toward ESG or sustainability targets.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1861R?
A: Both are the same red felt and non-magnetic dry-wipe combination board. The NB1859R is the 1200 by 1200mm square with balanced even halves, while the NB1861R is a 1200 by 900mm landscape board. Choose the square board as a central focal point, or the landscape board for a broader, shorter wall space.
Q: Is the board suitable for a school or community centre?
A: Yes. Schools pin timetables and class notices to the red felt and write the daily tasks on the dry-wipe half, while community centres keep public notices and event posters on the felt with changing updates on the writing side. The bold board works well as a central spot that people are naturally drawn to check first.
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 red 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 schools, councils and offices with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders across several rooms can be arranged directly 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 NB1864RD. Choose this 1200 by 1200mm red board for a central feature wall, or pick a landscape size to suit the space you have.

Red gives the board presence, drawing the eye to a single spot where the key information lives, while the shape gives the felt and the writing halves close to equal room, so a proper run of notices can stay pinned with a full writing area alongside. That makes the board a natural anchor in a classroom, a community centre or an office, the place people look to first for what is on and what has changed. The deep red felt sits cleanly behind pinned posters and schedules, keeping a busy focal board organised rather than chaotic. Both halves sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer, more natural look than plain plastic and a lower-impact choice besides. The board is made in the UK and arrives ready to hang with a wall mount kit supplied. A two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for schools, community centres and eco-conscious offices where one bold board needs to gather attention and information in a single place.
Why This Red Square Combination Board Earns Its Place
- A bold focal point: Red gives the board real presence on a wall, pulling the eye to one central spot, so the notices that matter are the first thing people see when they walk into a classroom, office or community room.
- Equal room for both jobs: The even proportions give the red felt and the whiteboard close to matching space, so a full run of notices can stay pinned while a proper writing area sits ready beside them for the day's messages.
- Red felt that holds attention: The deep red surface keeps pinned posters and printed sheets sharp and readable, so even a heavily used board stays clear and organised rather than turning into a cluttered patchwork.
- Recycled, made in the UK: A warm wood-effect frame built in the UK from recycled stock means a board on prominent display can sit in line with a school or office's environmental commitments rather than cutting against them.
- A clean writing half: The dry-wipe side handles handwritten notes with any standard marker and erases for the next message, though the panel is non-magnetic, so anything to fix in place goes on the red felt with a pin rather than a magnet.
- Takes pins and staples: The red felt grips push pins and staples alike, so printed sheets, posters and fabric-backed cards all fix securely across the surface and then lift away cleanly when the board is refreshed.
Where This Red Square Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Schools and Classrooms | A classroom needs one clear place pupils know to check. Timetables, letters and class notices pin or staple to the bold red felt where they catch the eye, while the dry-wipe half carries the date, tasks and reminders that change across the school day. |
| Community Centres and Hubs | Community buildings post a steady run of public information that everyone should see. The red felt presents notices, leaflets and event posters as a central display people are drawn to, and the dry-wipe side takes changing updates such as session or class times. |
| Eco-Conscious Offices | Workplaces tracking sustainability targets want fixtures that match their values. The recycled board holds team notices and schedules on the red felt and live to-dos on the writing half, working as a central communal board while keeping the impact low. |
| Universities and Colleges | Campus offices and shared areas juggle reference material and live deadlines together. Pinning policies, timetables and notices to the red felt keeps them prominent, while the writing side tracks meeting reminders and deadlines that move week to week. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | Front desks have to share key information while staying tidy. Notices and welcome material hold on the red felt as an eye-catching focal display, and the writing half handles changing messages such as opening times or daily announcements for visitors. |
| Breakout Rooms and Staff Areas | Staff rooms and breakout spaces gather rotas, notices and quick planning in one spot. The red felt keeps the rota and key notices on show where staff check them, while the writing half gives a full area for ideas and reminders through the day. |

The Displaysense NB1859R is an Eco-Friendly Combination Red Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A square combination board with a red 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. Red felt pinboard compatible with pins and staples, non-magnetic dry-wipe writing surface, recycled wood-effect frame, wall mount kit supplied, two-year guarantee. Best suited for schools, community centres, universities and eco-conscious offices where a bold central board gathers attention and information. Also available in a 1200 x 900mm size such as the NB1861R and a 1500 x 1200mm size such as the NB1864RD. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
A board earns a place on the wall by being the one people look to, and colour plus shape decide whether a board manages that. Red carries a presence that a plain neutral board never quite will, pulling the eye to a single point on the wall, and a square outline reads as a deliberate, self-contained block rather than a thin strip running along beside the door. Put the two together and the result is a board that acts as the room's reference point, the natural first place that a class, a team or a community group will check for what is happening and what has recently changed.
The surface splits evenly into two working halves. One side is a red felt panel that takes pins and staples and holds posters, schedules and notices for as long as they need to stay up on show, while the other is a dry-wipe panel that clears cleanly after each use, ready for the very next message to go up. Because the format is square rather than long and narrow, neither half ends up squeezed into a thin band, so a full set of pinned material and a genuine writing area can share the board comfortably without one of them crowding the other off the wall.
The red felt is built to be worked hard, taking a pin or a staple and closing back around the fixing each time. Notices, posters and fabric-backed pieces all hold firmly in place and then peel away cleanly when the board is next cleared, and the felt keeps a tidy finish even across repeated everyday use. Flip to the dry-wipe half and the routine reverses, with standard markers writing on and wiping straight off for the next note, though that panel is non-magnetic, so anything that needs holding goes on the felt under a pin, not a magnet.
Behind the two surfaces, the build is made with the environment in mind. The light wood-effect frame is produced in the UK from recycled stock, cutting out the new plastic that a standard board depends on and lending a warmer, softer look than the cold rim of an all-plastic surround. The board stays light to handle even at this size, comes supplied with a wall mount kit for a clean, simple fit, and a full two-year guarantee reflects a unit built for steady daily use as the main board in a busy room.

Full specifications for the NB1859R eco-friendly combination red felt noticeboard with whiteboard. A 1200 by 1200mm square dual-surface board that sets a bold red 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 | Red 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 | Bold red felt pinboard | A bold red ground that pulls the eye straight to the board and keeps pinned posters and notices sharp across a full half of the surface. |
| 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 red 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 the look of the board on a wall and suits an eco-aware office, a school or a busy community hub. |
| 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 mount kit included | The wall mount kit comes supplied inside the pack, so the board hangs up 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 room. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Red Square Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard to use as a central display?
A: A bold square combination board, like the NB1859R, works well as a central display. The 1200 by 1200mm format and bold red felt draw the eye to one central spot, setting a red felt pinboard beside a non-magnetic dry-wipe writing half. The board weighs 6kg and carries a two-year guarantee.
Q: Why choose red felt for a noticeboard?
A: Red felt gives a board real presence, pulling the eye to one place so the most important notices are the first thing seen. On a central board in a classroom, an office or a community room, that bold colour helps the important information stand out clearly instead of quietly blending into a neutral wall.
Q: What surfaces does the board have?
A: The board is split into two surfaces, a red felt pinboard on one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard on the other. The felt holds notices and posters 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 red 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 feature wall in a classroom, hub or office. A wall mount kit is supplied, and the square format mounts either way up, sitting as a central block rather than a long strip.
Q: Can the felt take staples as well as pins?
A: Yes. The red 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 term or quarter 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, suiting schools, councils and offices working toward ESG or sustainability targets.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1861R?
A: Both are the same red felt and non-magnetic dry-wipe combination board. The NB1859R is the 1200 by 1200mm square with balanced even halves, while the NB1861R is a 1200 by 900mm landscape board. Choose the square board as a central focal point, or the landscape board for a broader, shorter wall space.
Q: Is the board suitable for a school or community centre?
A: Yes. Schools pin timetables and class notices to the red felt and write the daily tasks on the dry-wipe half, while community centres keep public notices and event posters on the felt with changing updates on the writing side. The bold board works well as a central spot that people are naturally drawn to check first.
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 red 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 schools, councils and offices with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders across several rooms can be arranged directly 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 NB1864RD. Choose this 1200 by 1200mm red board for a central feature wall, or pick a landscape size to suit the space you have.
