A Red Combination Board for High-Traffic Public Walls
On a busy public-facing wall, the notices that matter have to be seen first, and a bold backing helps them carry across a room. The NB1861R pairs a vibrant red felt pinboard with a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard in one board, so a town hall, a reception or a university foyer can keep key notices high-visibility on the red felt while the wipe-clean half handles the messages that change through the day. Red gives a stronger, more eye-catching backdrop than a neutral board, which keeps a heavily used wall readable rather than getting lost in a sea of paper. There is room across the surface for several notices to stay pinned at once with space left over for writing, so a single board does the job of a separate pinboard and whiteboard side by side. Both surfaces 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 in landscape with a wall mount kit supplied. A two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for town halls, university foyers and public offices where a busy wall has to keep important notices seen.
Why This Red Combination Board Earns Its Place
- Red that carries across a room: The vibrant red felt gives notices a high-contrast backdrop that registers at a glance, so a key announcement or alert stands out on a busy public wall rather than blending into a neutral board among the paper.
- Pinboard and writing in one: A red felt half and a dry-wipe half share a single board, so the standing notices and the live messages sit side by side on one unit rather than calling for two separate boards mounted alongside each other.
- Room for a busy wall: The surface has space for several notices to stay pinned at once with the writing area still free, which suits a high-traffic spot where a lot of information needs to be on show together without constant rearranging.
- A greener fixture on show: Built in the UK from recycled stock with a warm wood-effect frame, the board lets a council or campus point to a public fixture that backs the organisation's environmental commitments rather than working against them.
- Write, wipe and repeat: The dry-wipe panel handles handwritten messages with any standard marker and clears for the next note, though the surface is non-magnetic, so pin to the red felt rather than reaching for a magnet.
- Quick to put up, simple to move: With the wall mount kit supplied, the board fixes in landscape on a public wall and stays light enough for one member of staff to take down and reposition when a room is rearranged.
Where This Red Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Town Halls and Public Offices | Council buildings post a lot of public information that has to stay clear and current. The red felt presents notices, leaflets and event posters where visitors spot them quickly, while the dry-wipe half takes changing updates such as opening hours or service notices. |
| Universities and Colleges | Campus foyers and department offices juggle reference material and live deadlines together. Pinning policies, timetables and notices to the bold red felt keeps them prominent, while the writing side tracks meeting reminders and deadlines that move week to week. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | A front desk has to share key information while staying tidy. Notices and welcome material hold on the eye-catching red felt so visitors see them straight away, and the writing half handles changing messages such as room changes or daily announcements. |
| Schools and Corridors | Teaching walls and corridors need important notices to cut through the clutter. Timetables and key letters pin to the red felt where pupils and staff notice them fast, and the dry-wipe half carries the date, tasks and reminders that change each day. |
| Coworking and Shared Offices | Shared workspaces with green values want fixtures that match. The reclaimed-material board holds team notices and schedules on the red felt and live to-dos on the writing half, doing the communal job while keeping the environmental impact low. |
| Community and Event Spaces | Community rooms and event areas post information that everyone needs to catch. Posters and notices stand out on the red felt where people gather, and the dry-wipe panel takes current updates such as session times, all on one board. |
Need a Smaller or Larger Size?
For a tighter wall, the 600 x 900mm red board is a compact step down. For an even bigger surface, the 1500 x 1200mm red board steps up again.

The Displaysense NB1861R is an Eco-Friendly Combination Red Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A 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 900mm, weight 6kg, landscape orientation. Red felt pinboard, non-magnetic dry-wipe writing surface, recycled wood-effect frame, wall mount kit supplied, two-year guarantee. Best suited for town halls, universities, public offices, schools and coworking spaces where a busy public wall keeps notices seen. Also available in a smaller 600 x 900mm size such as the NB1860R and a larger 1500 x 1200mm size such as the NB1864RD. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Stand in a busy foyer and look at the wall, and the board that works is the one you notice without trying. A bold red felt backing does exactly that job, lifting pinned notices off the surface with a level of contrast that a neutral board simply cannot match, so a key announcement or alert registers from right across the room rather than waiting quietly to be found by someone walking past. In a town hall, a campus entrance or a reception that sees a steady stream of people, that read-at-a-glance quality is the whole reason a bold red board goes up on the wall instead of a quieter, more neutral grey one.
Run a hand across the two halves and the practical logic is plain. One side is a red felt panel that takes a pin and holds posters, policies and printed notices steady in place, while the other is a dry-wipe panel that wipes back to a clean white surface after every use, ready for the next message. The felt is non-magnetic on the writing side, so the simple rule of thumb is to pin to the red felt and write on the white panel, and between them the two surfaces carry the standing information and the daily updates that a busy public wall has to keep on show at the same time.
Give the build a closer look and the eco thinking is built in rather than bolted on. The light wood-effect frame is made in the UK from recycled stock, cutting out the new plastic a conventional board leans on while giving a warmer, more natural finish than the hard edge of a plain plastic frame. That naturally suits a public foyer or office where a board is constantly on show to visitors and staff alike, and the recycled construction lets an organisation point to a fixture that matches the organisation's sustainability goals rather than working against them.
Day to day, the board is built to keep up with a busy room without fuss. The board hangs in landscape with a supplied wall mount kit, stays light enough for a single member of staff to put up or take down and move, and shrugs off the constant daily cycle of notices going up on the felt and coming back down again. A two-year guarantee sits behind the board, reflecting a unit meant for steady use in a setting where a lot of people rely on the information on show every day.

Full specifications for the NB1861R eco-friendly combination red felt noticeboard with whiteboard. A 1200 by 900mm 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. A full two-year surface and frame guarantee covers the board against everyday use.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 1200mm (W) x 900mm (H) | A 1200 by 900mm board with room for a good deal more pinned notices, and more free writing space, than a smaller compact board can offer on its face. |
| Surfaces | Red felt pinboard plus non-magnetic dry-wipe | 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 shared wall. |
| Felt Surface | Bold red felt pinboard | A bold red ground that makes pinned notices stand out clearly across a busy public wall, holding posters, leaflets and cards on push pins. |
| 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 fix items on the felt. |
| Pinning the Felt | Pins on the felt | Notices attach to the red felt with push pins, so paper sheets pin up neatly across the larger felt area and then lift off again cleanly afterwards. |
| Construction | 100% recycled materials | A greener build that reuses material rather than relying on new plastic throughout, making for a more sustainable everyday 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 plastic | A warm oak-tone finish that softens the look of the board on a wall and suits a public foyer, a busy office or a school alike. |
| Orientation | Landscape | A landscape layout that mounts horizontally, setting the red felt and the writing halves neatly side by side right across the wall. |
| Weight | 6kg | Light for a board of this size, so a single person can hang it on their own and relocate it later on if a communal space is reorganised. |
| Mounting | Wall mount kit included | The wall mount kit comes supplied in the pack, so the board hangs up cleanly with nothing further to buy before fitting it. |
| Guarantee | 2-year guarantee | Two full years of cover give genuine reassurance for a board that is kept in steady, repeated daily use in a busy public setting. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Red Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for a busy public wall?
A: A bold-coloured combination board, like the NB1861R, suits a busy public wall. The vibrant red felt keeps notices high-visibility, while a non-magnetic dry-wipe half takes the daily writing. The 1200 by 900mm board gives room for several notices at once, weighs 6kg, and carries a two-year guarantee.
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, while the dry-wipe panel takes marker for handwritten messages and then wipes clean again for the next note.
Q: Why choose red felt for a noticeboard?
A: A red felt panel sets notices against a bold backdrop that the eye picks up at distance, so a key announcement stands out across a busy foyer or hall instead of getting lost on a plain board. That high visibility suits town halls, receptions and campus entrances where a notice has to be seen quickly.
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 cloth. For anything that needs fixing in place, use the red felt half with push pins instead.
Q: How big is the board, and which way does it mount?
A: The board measures 1200mm by 900mm and weighs 6kg, a good size for a foyer, corridor or public office. A wall mount kit is supplied, and the board is designed to mount horizontally in landscape, with the red felt and writing halves set side by side across the wall.
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 public fixture, suiting councils, universities and offices working toward ESG or sustainability targets.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1860R?
A: Both are the same red felt and non-magnetic dry-wipe combination board. The NB1861R is the larger 1200 by 900mm size with more pin and writing space, while the NB1860R is a compact 600 by 900mm. Choose the 1200 by 900mm board for a busy public wall, or the smaller one for a tight corner or above a desk.
Q: Is the board suitable for a town hall or university foyer?
A: Yes. Town halls pin public notices, leaflets and event posters to the red felt where visitors spot them, and university foyers keep timetables and policies on the felt with deadlines on the dry-wipe half. The bold red colour helps important information register fast in a high-traffic entrance or foyer.
Q: How much can the larger board hold compared with a compact one?
A: The 1200 by 900mm surface gives noticeably more pin and writing area than a 600 by 900mm board, so more notices can stay up at once and there is more room left over for writing. That suits a public wall that has to keep a lot of information on display at the same time without constant rearranging.
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 councils, schools and offices with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders across several rooms can be arranged through our team.
Q: Does it come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. The same combination board comes in other felt colours and in several sizes, from a compact 600 by 900mm up to a larger 1500 by 1200mm NB1864RD. Choose this 1200 by 900mm red board for a busy public wall, or step up or down a size to suit the space.
Guides to Noticeboards, Displays and Organised Spaces
A combination board works best when the surfaces, size and place on the wall match the room.

The NB1861R pairs a vibrant red felt pinboard with a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard in one board, so a town hall, a reception or a university foyer can keep key notices high-visibility on the red felt while the wipe-clean half handles the messages that change through the day. Red gives a stronger, more eye-catching backdrop than a neutral board, which keeps a heavily used wall readable rather than getting lost in a sea of paper. There is room across the surface for several notices to stay pinned at once with space left over for writing, so a single board does the job of a separate pinboard and whiteboard side by side. Both surfaces 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 in landscape with a wall mount kit supplied. A two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for town halls, university foyers and public offices where a busy wall has to keep important notices seen.
Why This Red Combination Board Earns Its Place
- Red that carries across a room: The vibrant red felt gives notices a high-contrast backdrop that registers at a glance, so a key announcement or alert stands out on a busy public wall rather than blending into a neutral board among the paper.
- Pinboard and writing in one: A red felt half and a dry-wipe half share a single board, so the standing notices and the live messages sit side by side on one unit rather than calling for two separate boards mounted alongside each other.
- Room for a busy wall: The surface has space for several notices to stay pinned at once with the writing area still free, which suits a high-traffic spot where a lot of information needs to be on show together without constant rearranging.
- A greener fixture on show: Built in the UK from recycled stock with a warm wood-effect frame, the board lets a council or campus point to a public fixture that backs the organisation's environmental commitments rather than working against them.
- Write, wipe and repeat: The dry-wipe panel handles handwritten messages with any standard marker and clears for the next note, though the surface is non-magnetic, so pin to the red felt rather than reaching for a magnet.
- Quick to put up, simple to move: With the wall mount kit supplied, the board fixes in landscape on a public wall and stays light enough for one member of staff to take down and reposition when a room is rearranged.
Where This Red Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Town Halls and Public Offices | Council buildings post a lot of public information that has to stay clear and current. The red felt presents notices, leaflets and event posters where visitors spot them quickly, while the dry-wipe half takes changing updates such as opening hours or service notices. |
| Universities and Colleges | Campus foyers and department offices juggle reference material and live deadlines together. Pinning policies, timetables and notices to the bold red felt keeps them prominent, while the writing side tracks meeting reminders and deadlines that move week to week. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | A front desk has to share key information while staying tidy. Notices and welcome material hold on the eye-catching red felt so visitors see them straight away, and the writing half handles changing messages such as room changes or daily announcements. |
| Schools and Corridors | Teaching walls and corridors need important notices to cut through the clutter. Timetables and key letters pin to the red felt where pupils and staff notice them fast, and the dry-wipe half carries the date, tasks and reminders that change each day. |
| Coworking and Shared Offices | Shared workspaces with green values want fixtures that match. The reclaimed-material board holds team notices and schedules on the red felt and live to-dos on the writing half, doing the communal job while keeping the environmental impact low. |
| Community and Event Spaces | Community rooms and event areas post information that everyone needs to catch. Posters and notices stand out on the red felt where people gather, and the dry-wipe panel takes current updates such as session times, all on one board. |
Need a Smaller or Larger Size?
For a tighter wall, the 600 x 900mm red board is a compact step down. For an even bigger surface, the 1500 x 1200mm red board steps up again.

The Displaysense NB1861R is an Eco-Friendly Combination Red Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A 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 900mm, weight 6kg, landscape orientation. Red felt pinboard, non-magnetic dry-wipe writing surface, recycled wood-effect frame, wall mount kit supplied, two-year guarantee. Best suited for town halls, universities, public offices, schools and coworking spaces where a busy public wall keeps notices seen. Also available in a smaller 600 x 900mm size such as the NB1860R and a larger 1500 x 1200mm size such as the NB1864RD. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Stand in a busy foyer and look at the wall, and the board that works is the one you notice without trying. A bold red felt backing does exactly that job, lifting pinned notices off the surface with a level of contrast that a neutral board simply cannot match, so a key announcement or alert registers from right across the room rather than waiting quietly to be found by someone walking past. In a town hall, a campus entrance or a reception that sees a steady stream of people, that read-at-a-glance quality is the whole reason a bold red board goes up on the wall instead of a quieter, more neutral grey one.
Run a hand across the two halves and the practical logic is plain. One side is a red felt panel that takes a pin and holds posters, policies and printed notices steady in place, while the other is a dry-wipe panel that wipes back to a clean white surface after every use, ready for the next message. The felt is non-magnetic on the writing side, so the simple rule of thumb is to pin to the red felt and write on the white panel, and between them the two surfaces carry the standing information and the daily updates that a busy public wall has to keep on show at the same time.
Give the build a closer look and the eco thinking is built in rather than bolted on. The light wood-effect frame is made in the UK from recycled stock, cutting out the new plastic a conventional board leans on while giving a warmer, more natural finish than the hard edge of a plain plastic frame. That naturally suits a public foyer or office where a board is constantly on show to visitors and staff alike, and the recycled construction lets an organisation point to a fixture that matches the organisation's sustainability goals rather than working against them.
Day to day, the board is built to keep up with a busy room without fuss. The board hangs in landscape with a supplied wall mount kit, stays light enough for a single member of staff to put up or take down and move, and shrugs off the constant daily cycle of notices going up on the felt and coming back down again. A two-year guarantee sits behind the board, reflecting a unit meant for steady use in a setting where a lot of people rely on the information on show every day.

Full specifications for the NB1861R eco-friendly combination red felt noticeboard with whiteboard. A 1200 by 900mm 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. A full two-year surface and frame guarantee covers the board against everyday use.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 1200mm (W) x 900mm (H) | A 1200 by 900mm board with room for a good deal more pinned notices, and more free writing space, than a smaller compact board can offer on its face. |
| Surfaces | Red felt pinboard plus non-magnetic dry-wipe | 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 shared wall. |
| Felt Surface | Bold red felt pinboard | A bold red ground that makes pinned notices stand out clearly across a busy public wall, holding posters, leaflets and cards on push pins. |
| 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 fix items on the felt. |
| Pinning the Felt | Pins on the felt | Notices attach to the red felt with push pins, so paper sheets pin up neatly across the larger felt area and then lift off again cleanly afterwards. |
| Construction | 100% recycled materials | A greener build that reuses material rather than relying on new plastic throughout, making for a more sustainable everyday 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 plastic | A warm oak-tone finish that softens the look of the board on a wall and suits a public foyer, a busy office or a school alike. |
| Orientation | Landscape | A landscape layout that mounts horizontally, setting the red felt and the writing halves neatly side by side right across the wall. |
| Weight | 6kg | Light for a board of this size, so a single person can hang it on their own and relocate it later on if a communal space is reorganised. |
| Mounting | Wall mount kit included | The wall mount kit comes supplied in the pack, so the board hangs up cleanly with nothing further to buy before fitting it. |
| Guarantee | 2-year guarantee | Two full years of cover give genuine reassurance for a board that is kept in steady, repeated daily use in a busy public setting. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Red Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for a busy public wall?
A: A bold-coloured combination board, like the NB1861R, suits a busy public wall. The vibrant red felt keeps notices high-visibility, while a non-magnetic dry-wipe half takes the daily writing. The 1200 by 900mm board gives room for several notices at once, weighs 6kg, and carries a two-year guarantee.
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, while the dry-wipe panel takes marker for handwritten messages and then wipes clean again for the next note.
Q: Why choose red felt for a noticeboard?
A: A red felt panel sets notices against a bold backdrop that the eye picks up at distance, so a key announcement stands out across a busy foyer or hall instead of getting lost on a plain board. That high visibility suits town halls, receptions and campus entrances where a notice has to be seen quickly.
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 cloth. For anything that needs fixing in place, use the red felt half with push pins instead.
Q: How big is the board, and which way does it mount?
A: The board measures 1200mm by 900mm and weighs 6kg, a good size for a foyer, corridor or public office. A wall mount kit is supplied, and the board is designed to mount horizontally in landscape, with the red felt and writing halves set side by side across the wall.
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 public fixture, suiting councils, universities and offices working toward ESG or sustainability targets.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1860R?
A: Both are the same red felt and non-magnetic dry-wipe combination board. The NB1861R is the larger 1200 by 900mm size with more pin and writing space, while the NB1860R is a compact 600 by 900mm. Choose the 1200 by 900mm board for a busy public wall, or the smaller one for a tight corner or above a desk.
Q: Is the board suitable for a town hall or university foyer?
A: Yes. Town halls pin public notices, leaflets and event posters to the red felt where visitors spot them, and university foyers keep timetables and policies on the felt with deadlines on the dry-wipe half. The bold red colour helps important information register fast in a high-traffic entrance or foyer.
Q: How much can the larger board hold compared with a compact one?
A: The 1200 by 900mm surface gives noticeably more pin and writing area than a 600 by 900mm board, so more notices can stay up at once and there is more room left over for writing. That suits a public wall that has to keep a lot of information on display at the same time without constant rearranging.
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 councils, schools and offices with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders across several rooms can be arranged through our team.
Q: Does it come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. The same combination board comes in other felt colours and in several sizes, from a compact 600 by 900mm up to a larger 1500 by 1200mm NB1864RD. Choose this 1200 by 900mm red board for a busy public wall, or step up or down a size to suit the space.
