A Red Felt Combination Board That Makes Notices Stand Out
In a busy room, the notices that matter most are the ones that get seen first, and a bold backing helps them do exactly that. The NB1860R pairs a vibrant red felt pinboard with a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard in one compact unit, so a rota, a safety notice or a key reminder pinned to the warm red surface catches the eye in a single glance, while the wipe-clean half carries the quick updates and messages that change through the day. Red gives a higher-contrast, more eye-catching backdrop than a neutral board, which suits a high-traffic staff room, a classroom or a shared office where important information needs to register fast. Both surfaces sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer and more natural look than plain plastic and a greener choice besides. The board is made in the UK and arrives in a compact wall-mounted size with concealed wall fixings supplied, ready to hang in portrait or landscape to suit the wall. A two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for schools, healthcare staff areas and university offices where wall space is tight but a notice has to be noticed.
Why a Bold Red Combination Board Earns Its Place
- Red that draws the eye: The vibrant red felt gives notices a high-contrast backdrop that stands out across a room, so a rota, alert or key message registers at a glance rather than blending into a neutral wall in a busy space.
- Two surfaces, one unit: A red felt pinboard and a dry-wipe panel share a single compact board, so a wall holds the standing notices and takes the daily writing without two separate boards mounted up alongside each other.
- Pins and Velcro both grip: The felt half accepts push pins and Velcro fasteners, so paper notices, fabric-backed cards and light display pieces all fix securely and lift away cleanly when the board is refreshed for the week.
- Recycled, UK-made build: A light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, manufactured in the UK, offers a greener and warmer alternative to a fully plastic board while keeping everyday durability intact.
- Non-magnetic dry-wipe half: The writing panel works with standard dry-wipe markers and wipes clean for the next note, though the surface does not hold magnets, so plan to pin on the red felt side rather than magnet to the board.
- Compact and quick to fit: A tidy size with concealed wall fixings supplied means the board mounts in portrait or landscape and slots above a desk, in a staff room or a classroom corner where a full-wall board would not fit.
Where This Red Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Schools and Classrooms | Important class information needs to stand out among the clutter of a teaching wall. Timetables and key notices pin to the bold red felt where pupils spot them quickly, while the dry-wipe half carries the date, tasks and reminders that change each school day. |
| Healthcare Staff Areas | Staff rooms and treatment areas rely on rotas and alerts being seen at speed. The red felt holds the shift rota and safety notices in a high-visibility spot, and the writing panel takes quick handover notes or updates that shift through a busy clinical day. |
| University and College Offices | Department offices juggle policy documents and live deadlines together. Pinning policies and notices to the eye-catching red felt keeps reference material prominent, while the dry-wipe 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. The bold red felt presents notices and welcome material so visitors see them straight away, and the writing half handles changing messages such as opening times or room changes. |
| Homes and Home Offices | Family and home-working walls gather reminders that are easy to overlook. The vivid red surface keeps the week's letters, appointments and to-do prompts visible, while the wipe-clean half takes the day's list, keeping a busy household in order. |
| Shared and Community Spaces | Community rooms and shared workplaces post information that everyone needs to catch. Notices and event posters hold on the red felt where they draw attention, and the dry-wipe panel takes current updates, all on one compact wall-mounted board. |
Prefer Another Colour or a Larger Size?
For a calmer, cooler tone, the blue felt noticeboard is a colour alternative. For a bigger wall, the 1500 x 1200mm red board steps up the surface.

The Displaysense NB1860R is an Eco-Friendly Combination Red Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A compact combination board with a vibrant 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 600mm x 900mm, weight 4kg, landscape or portrait mounting. Red felt pinboard compatible with push pins and Velcro, non-magnetic dry-wipe writing surface, recycled wood-effect frame, concealed wall fixings supplied, two-year guarantee. Best suited for schools, healthcare staff areas, university offices and shared spaces where a notice needs to stand out. Also available in other felt colours such as the blue NB1860B and in larger sizes such as the 1500 x 1200mm NB1864RD. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Colour does real work on a noticeboard, and red does more than most. A bright red felt backing lifts whatever is pinned on top, giving notices a contrast that a beige or grey surface cannot match, so the eye tends to land on the board itself before anyone has even begun to read a single word. That matters in a room where many messages compete for attention, because a rota or an urgent alert on a vivid red ground reads as important even at a distance, which is exactly why a red board suits the high-traffic settings where simply being noticed is already half of the job.
Split the surface in two and the board covers both kinds of message at once. One half is red felt for the notices that stay up for a while, the other a dry-wipe panel for the updates that change by the hour, so a single compact unit quietly does the work of both a separate pinboard and a separate whiteboard together. Where a room has wall for only one board, that division is what makes the difference, holding the fixed information and the changing information side by side on one wall rather than forcing a choice between the two.
Push a pin into the red felt and the surface grips, and the same felt takes Velcro fasteners just as readily. Paper notices and posters go up with pins while fabric-backed cards or light display pieces stick on with Velcro, and both peel off without trace when the wall is cleared for the next week. The dry-wipe half works with standard markers and erases to a clean panel for the next note, though that writing surface is non-magnetic, so anything to be fixed goes on the felt side with a pin rather than a magnet.
Behind the surfaces sits a frame built with the environment in mind. It is a light wood-effect finish, built in the UK from recycled stock, which cuts the plastic in the board and gives a warmer, more natural look than a bare plastic edge. The warm wood tone softens how the board reads on a wall, suiting a classroom, a staff area or a busy office rather than a hard industrial fit-out. The board is light to handle, comes supplied with concealed wall fixings, and a full two-year guarantee reflects a unit made for steady daily use.

Full specifications for the NB1860R eco-friendly combination red felt noticeboard with whiteboard. A compact two-in-one board that sets a bold red felt pinboard alongside a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel, held in a recycled wood-effect frame that is made in the UK.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 600mm (W) x 900mm (H) | A compact dual-surface board sized to suit a corner, an above-desk spot or a busy staff room where a larger full-size board would simply not fit on the wall. |
| Surfaces | Red felt and 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 | Vibrant red felt pinboard | A bold red ground that makes pinned notices stand out clearly across a busy room, holding posters, leaflets and cards with either push pins or Velcro fasteners. |
| Whiteboard Surface | Non-magnetic dry-wipe | Takes any standard dry-wipe marker and wipes clean again for the next note, though the panel will not hold magnets, so fix any items on the felt side instead. |
| Pinning the Felt | Push pins or Velcro on the felt | Notices attach to the red felt with pins or Velcro, so paper sheets pin up and fabric-backed pieces hold, 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 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 home, a school or a busy office far better than bare plastic. |
| Orientation | Landscape or portrait | Mounts either way up, so the board fits the available wall space and sets the felt and the writing halves to suit the room. |
| Weight | 4kg | Light enough for one person to hang on their own, and to move between rooms or take down again in a rented home or office. |
| Mounting | Concealed wall fixings supplied | Fixings come supplied in the pack and sit out of sight behind the board, so it hangs cleanly with nothing extra to buy. |
| Guarantee | 2-year guarantee | Two full years of cover give genuine reassurance for a board kept in steady daily use at home, in a school or in a busy office. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Blue Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best small noticeboard for both pinning and writing?
A: A combination board, like the NB1860B, suits both pinning and writing. One half is blue felt for pinning notices and the other a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel for writing, so a single 600 by 900mm board does two jobs. The unit weighs 4kg, mounts either way, and carries a two-year guarantee.
Q: What surfaces does the board have?
A: The board is split between two surfaces, blue felt for pinning across one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard across the other. The felt holds notices, posters and cards with pins or Velcro, while the dry-wipe panel takes marker for daily updates and rubs off again ready 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 cloth. For anything that needs fixing in place, use the blue felt half with push pins or Velcro instead.
Q: Can I use Velcro as well as pins on the felt?
A: Yes. The blue felt half takes both push pins and Velcro fasteners. Paper notices and posters pin up directly, while fabric-backed cards or lightweight display pieces hold on Velcro. Both fixing methods lift away cleanly, so the felt can be refreshed without leaving marks or damage on the surface.
Q: What makes this noticeboard a greener choice?
A: The wood-effect frame is produced in the UK and made up of recycled material, which cuts plastic use next to a fully plastic board. The recycled build and UK manufacture make this a more sustainable option for schools, offices and homes looking to buy with the environment in mind.
Q: How big is the board, and which way does it mount?
A: The board measures 600mm by 900mm and weighs 4kg, a compact size for a corner, hallway or desk wall. Concealed wall fixings are supplied, and the board hangs in portrait or in landscape, so the felt and writing halves can be set whichever way suits the wall and the room.
Q: Is the board suitable for a classroom or shared office?
A: Yes. Classrooms pin timetables and pupil work to the felt and write the day's tasks on the dry-wipe half, while shared offices hold rotas and notices on the felt and track live to-dos on the writing side. The compact size suits a corner or shared wall where a full-size board would be too large.
Q: What is the difference between the blue and red felt versions?
A: Both are the same 600 by 900mm combination board with a felt pinboard and a non-magnetic dry-wipe half. The NB1860B has a blue felt surface, while the NB1860R has red felt. Choose blue for a calm, cool backdrop in an office or hallway, or red for a warmer, higher-contrast pin surface.
Q: Is the board good for a rented home or temporary setup?
A: Yes. At 4kg the board is light to hang and to take down again, and the concealed fixings leave a tidy wall. That suits a rented home, a student hall or a temporary office where a board may need to move on, since one person can mount or remove the unit without specialist tools.
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 blue 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 this 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, offices and community buildings 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, such as the red NB1860R, and in larger sizes such as the 1500 by 1200mm NB1864BL. Choose this 600 by 900mm blue board for a compact wall, or step up to a larger size where a wall needs more pin and writing space.
Guides to Choosing and Using Noticeboards

Both surfaces sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer and more natural look than plain plastic and a greener choice besides. The board is made in the UK and arrives in a compact wall-mounted size with concealed wall fixings supplied, ready to hang in portrait or landscape to suit the wall. A two-year guarantee backs the board. Best suited for schools, healthcare staff areas and university offices where wall space is tight but a notice has to be noticed.
Why a Bold Red Combination Board Earns Its Place
- Red that draws the eye: The vibrant red felt gives notices a high-contrast backdrop that stands out across a room, so a rota, alert or key message registers at a glance rather than blending into a neutral wall in a busy space.
- Two surfaces, one unit: A red felt pinboard and a dry-wipe panel share a single compact board, so a wall holds the standing notices and takes the daily writing without two separate boards mounted up alongside each other.
- Pins and Velcro both grip: The felt half accepts push pins and Velcro fasteners, so paper notices, fabric-backed cards and light display pieces all fix securely and lift away cleanly when the board is refreshed for the week.
- Recycled, UK-made build: A light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, manufactured in the UK, offers a greener and warmer alternative to a fully plastic board while keeping everyday durability intact.
- Non-magnetic dry-wipe half: The writing panel works with standard dry-wipe markers and wipes clean for the next note, though the surface does not hold magnets, so plan to pin on the red felt side rather than magnet to the board.
- Compact and quick to fit: A tidy size with concealed wall fixings supplied means the board mounts in portrait or landscape and slots above a desk, in a staff room or a classroom corner where a full-wall board would not fit.
Where This Red Combination Noticeboard Fits Best
| Schools and Classrooms | Important class information needs to stand out among the clutter of a teaching wall. Timetables and key notices pin to the bold red felt where pupils spot them quickly, while the dry-wipe half carries the date, tasks and reminders that change each school day. |
| Healthcare Staff Areas | Staff rooms and treatment areas rely on rotas and alerts being seen at speed. The red felt holds the shift rota and safety notices in a high-visibility spot, and the writing panel takes quick handover notes or updates that shift through a busy clinical day. |
| University and College Offices | Department offices juggle policy documents and live deadlines together. Pinning policies and notices to the eye-catching red felt keeps reference material prominent, while the dry-wipe 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. The bold red felt presents notices and welcome material so visitors see them straight away, and the writing half handles changing messages such as opening times or room changes. |
| Homes and Home Offices | Family and home-working walls gather reminders that are easy to overlook. The vivid red surface keeps the week's letters, appointments and to-do prompts visible, while the wipe-clean half takes the day's list, keeping a busy household in order. |
| Shared and Community Spaces | Community rooms and shared workplaces post information that everyone needs to catch. Notices and event posters hold on the red felt where they draw attention, and the dry-wipe panel takes current updates, all on one compact wall-mounted board. |
Prefer Another Colour or a Larger Size?
For a calmer, cooler tone, the blue felt noticeboard is a colour alternative. For a bigger wall, the 1500 x 1200mm red board steps up the surface.

The Displaysense NB1860R is an Eco-Friendly Combination Red Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A compact combination board with a vibrant 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 600mm x 900mm, weight 4kg, landscape or portrait mounting. Red felt pinboard compatible with push pins and Velcro, non-magnetic dry-wipe writing surface, recycled wood-effect frame, concealed wall fixings supplied, two-year guarantee. Best suited for schools, healthcare staff areas, university offices and shared spaces where a notice needs to stand out. Also available in other felt colours such as the blue NB1860B and in larger sizes such as the 1500 x 1200mm NB1864RD. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Colour does real work on a noticeboard, and red does more than most. A bright red felt backing lifts whatever is pinned on top, giving notices a contrast that a beige or grey surface cannot match, so the eye tends to land on the board itself before anyone has even begun to read a single word. That matters in a room where many messages compete for attention, because a rota or an urgent alert on a vivid red ground reads as important even at a distance, which is exactly why a red board suits the high-traffic settings where simply being noticed is already half of the job.
Split the surface in two and the board covers both kinds of message at once. One half is red felt for the notices that stay up for a while, the other a dry-wipe panel for the updates that change by the hour, so a single compact unit quietly does the work of both a separate pinboard and a separate whiteboard together. Where a room has wall for only one board, that division is what makes the difference, holding the fixed information and the changing information side by side on one wall rather than forcing a choice between the two.
Push a pin into the red felt and the surface grips, and the same felt takes Velcro fasteners just as readily. Paper notices and posters go up with pins while fabric-backed cards or light display pieces stick on with Velcro, and both peel off without trace when the wall is cleared for the next week. The dry-wipe half works with standard markers and erases to a clean panel for the next note, though that writing surface is non-magnetic, so anything to be fixed goes on the felt side with a pin rather than a magnet.
Behind the surfaces sits a frame built with the environment in mind. It is a light wood-effect finish, built in the UK from recycled stock, which cuts the plastic in the board and gives a warmer, more natural look than a bare plastic edge. The warm wood tone softens how the board reads on a wall, suiting a classroom, a staff area or a busy office rather than a hard industrial fit-out. The board is light to handle, comes supplied with concealed wall fixings, and a full two-year guarantee reflects a unit made for steady daily use.

Full specifications for the NB1860R eco-friendly combination red felt noticeboard with whiteboard. A compact two-in-one board that sets a bold red felt pinboard alongside a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel, held in a recycled wood-effect frame that is made in the UK. A full two-year guarantee covers the board against daily use.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 600mm (W) x 900mm (H) | A compact dual-surface board sized to suit a corner, an above-desk spot or a busy staff room where a larger full-size board would simply not fit on the wall. |
| Surfaces | Red felt and 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 | Vibrant red felt pinboard | A bold red ground that makes pinned notices stand out clearly across a busy room, holding posters, leaflets and cards with either push pins or Velcro fasteners. |
| Whiteboard Surface | Non-magnetic dry-wipe | Takes any standard dry-wipe marker and wipes clean again for the next note, though the panel will not hold magnets, so fix any items on the felt side instead. |
| Pinning the Felt | Push pins or Velcro on the felt | Notices attach to the red felt with pins or Velcro, so paper sheets pin up and fabric-backed pieces hold, 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 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 home, a school or a busy office far better than bare plastic. |
| Orientation | Landscape or portrait | Mounts either way up, so the board fits the available wall space and sets the felt and the writing halves to suit the room. |
| Weight | 4kg | Light enough for one person to hang on their own, and to move between rooms or take down again in a rented home or office. |
| Mounting | Concealed wall fixings supplied | Fixings come supplied in the pack and sit out of sight behind the board, so it hangs cleanly with nothing extra to buy. |
| Guarantee | 2-year guarantee | Two full years of cover give genuine reassurance for a board kept in steady daily use at home, in a school or in a busy office. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Blue Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best small noticeboard for both pinning and writing?
A: A combination board, like the NB1860B, suits both pinning and writing. One half is blue felt for pinning notices and the other a non-magnetic dry-wipe panel for writing, so a single 600 by 900mm board does two jobs. The unit weighs 4kg, mounts either way, and carries a two-year guarantee.
Q: What surfaces does the board have?
A: The board is split between two surfaces, blue felt for pinning across one half and a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard across the other. The felt holds notices, posters and cards with pins or Velcro, while the dry-wipe panel takes marker for daily updates and rubs off again ready 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 cloth. For anything that needs fixing in place, use the blue felt half with push pins or Velcro instead.
Q: Can I use Velcro as well as pins on the felt?
A: Yes. The blue felt half takes both push pins and Velcro fasteners. Paper notices and posters pin up directly, while fabric-backed cards or lightweight display pieces hold on Velcro. Both fixing methods lift away cleanly, so the felt can be refreshed without leaving marks or damage on the surface.
Q: What makes this noticeboard a greener choice?
A: The wood-effect frame is produced in the UK and made up of recycled material, which cuts plastic use next to a fully plastic board. The recycled build and UK manufacture make this a more sustainable option for schools, offices and homes looking to buy with the environment in mind.
Q: How big is the board, and which way does it mount?
A: The board measures 600mm by 900mm and weighs 4kg, a compact size for a corner, hallway or desk wall. Concealed wall fixings are supplied, and the board hangs in portrait or in landscape, so the felt and writing halves can be set whichever way suits the wall and the room.
Q: Is the board suitable for a classroom or shared office?
A: Yes. Classrooms pin timetables and pupil work to the felt and write the day's tasks on the dry-wipe half, while shared offices hold rotas and notices on the felt and track live to-dos on the writing side. The compact size suits a corner or shared wall where a full-size board would be too large.
Q: What is the difference between the blue and red felt versions?
A: Both are the same 600 by 900mm combination board with a felt pinboard and a non-magnetic dry-wipe half. The NB1860B has a blue felt surface, while the NB1860R has red felt. Choose blue for a calm, cool backdrop in an office or hallway, or red for a warmer, higher-contrast pin surface.
Q: Is the board good for a rented home or temporary setup?
A: Yes. At 4kg the board is light to hang and to take down again, and the concealed fixings leave a tidy wall. That suits a rented home, a student hall or a temporary office where a board may need to move on, since one person can mount or remove the unit without specialist tools.
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 blue 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 this 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, offices and community buildings 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, such as the red NB1860R, and in larger sizes such as the 1500 by 1200mm NB1864BL. Choose this 600 by 900mm blue board for a compact wall, or step up to a larger size where a wall needs more pin and writing space.

Overview
A Red Felt Combination Board That Makes Notices Stand Out
In a busy room, the notices that matter most are the ones that get seen first, and a bold backing helps them do exactly that. The NB1860R pairs a vibrant red felt pinboard with a non-magnetic dry-wipe whiteboard in one compact unit, so a rota, a safety notice or a key reminder pinned to the warm red surface catches the eye in a single glance, while the wipe-clean half carries the quick updates and messages that change through the day. Red gives a higher-contrast, more eye-catching backdrop than a neutral board, which suits a high-traffic staff room, a classroom or a shared office where important information needs to register fast. Both surfaces sit in a light wood-effect frame made from recycled materials, a warmer and more natural look than plain plastic and a greener choice besides. The board is made in the UK and arrives in a compact wall-mounted size with concealed wall fixings supplied, ready to hang in portrait or landscape to suit the wall.
