The Board That Makes Important Notices Impossible to Miss
On a wall crowded with paper, the things that matter most are the easiest to overlook. The NB1864RD answers that with a bold red felt pin surface that pulls the eye straight to it, so priority notices, safety information and timetables stand out clearly instead of blending into the background. Alongside the felt sits a smooth dry-wipe panel for the quick updates and team messages that change through the day, giving one board both a place to pin and a place to write. The colour does real work here. A bold red felt reads as urgent in a way a neutral board never quite will, which is exactly why it suits the kind of notices a school or a hospital ward simply cannot afford to have missed. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, built for pins on one side and markers on the other, and they sit in a wood-effect frame whose core is sustainably sourced, a greener choice that still stands up to daily use. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee backs the board for that daily use. Best suited for schools, universities and NHS wards where urgent and everyday information has to be seen at a glance.
Why Red Felt Earns Its Place on the Wall
- Colour that commands attention: A bold red felt draws the eye the moment someone walks past, so the notices pinned to it register rather than disappearing into a busy wall. For a priority or safety message, being seen in the first place is really the whole job.
- Pin and write in one frame: The red felt half holds notices securely while a dry-wipe panel beside it takes the messages that change daily, so one board handles both the fixed display and the quick daily updates, with no need for two separate fixtures on the wall.
- Felt that takes the wear: The pin surface is made to be used hard, holding pins again and again without losing grip or going ragged, so urgent notices stay put and the board still looks sharp after months of changes.
- A greener specification: The wood-effect frame is built around a sustainably sourced core, so the board supports more responsible purchasing while still standing up to the demands of a high-traffic setting. Here the greener choice costs nothing at all in everyday performance.
- No magnets, by design: Both surfaces are non-magnetic, made for pins on the felt and dry-wipe markers on the panel rather than magnets. When a board has to show fixed material and also be written on at will, that combination is exactly what a busy space calls for.
- Guaranteed for the long haul: A two-year manufacturer's guarantee stands behind the board, reflecting a build meant for the constant daily use of a classroom, a campus office or a hospital ward rather than light duty.
Where a High-Visibility Combination Board Fits Best
| Schools and Classrooms | Urgent notices, safety reminders and homework deadlines need to be noticed, not scanned past, and the red felt makes sure they are. The dry-wipe half beside it keeps the day's lesson points, so one board carries both the alerts and the everyday notes. |
| Universities and Campus Offices | Event timetables, seminar room changes and departmental announcements compete for attention on a busy campus board. A red felt surface lifts the items that matter above the noise, while the writable panel handles updates that change week to week. |
| NHS Wards and Clinical Areas | Infection control updates and important ward notices have to be impossible to overlook, which is where a bold red pin surface earns its place. The dry-wipe half takes the fast-changing notes of a shift handover, keeping both visible in one spot. |
| Reception and Public Areas | A front-of-house wall often needs one message to stand out from the rest, whether a policy, a closure or a safety notice. Pinning it to red felt does that, while routine information can be written or pinned around it without losing the headline. |
| Workplaces and Staff Rooms | Where a team board has to flag what is urgent against what is merely useful, the colour does the sorting at a glance. Priority items pin to the felt and day-to-day notes go on the dry-wipe panel, so nothing important hides among the routine. |
| Eco-Conscious Organisations | For a buyer weighing environmental impact, a board built around a sustainably sourced core meets the brief while still delivering the high-visibility display a busy site needs. It makes a greener choice without dulling the board's main strength. |
Prefer a Calmer Colour or a Bigger Board?
For a softer, more neutral look, the same board comes in a blue felt version. To cover a larger wall in the same bold red, the 1800mm red board steps the surface up.

The Displaysense NB1864RD is an Eco-Friendly Combination Red Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A dual-surface board pairing a high-visibility red felt pinboard with a dry-wipe whiteboard panel in one wood-effect frame, with a sustainably sourced core. Dimensions 1500mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 8kg. Both surfaces non-magnetic, red felt for pinning and a dry-wipe panel for writing, two-year manufacturer's guarantee. Best suited for schools, universities, NHS wards and reception areas where urgent notices must stand out. Also available in other felt colours such as the blue NB1864BL and in a larger 1800mm size such as the NB1862RD. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Colour is doing a job on this board, not just decorating it. Studies of how people scan a wall find that a strong warm colour is taken in more quickly than a muted shade, which is the reason hazard and priority signage so often reaches for red. A red felt pin surface puts that to work, because anything pinned to it is noticed sooner and read first, so the notice that genuinely matters is not lost among everything else competing for space on the wall. In a setting where a missed message has real consequences, that head start is the whole point of choosing red over a neutral board.
The red felt half is a working pin surface, not just a coloured panel. It is built to take drawing pins and tacks repeatedly, gripping each one firmly and recovering as notices are swapped, so it keeps both its hold and its appearance through constant changes. Because it relies on pins rather than magnets, it suits printed sheets, posters and documents that need to stay exactly where they are placed. The felt covers the half of the board given over to fixed and semi-permanent display, the material that goes up and stays up for a while.
The other half is a dry-wipe panel for everything that changes. Markers write across it cleanly and lift away with an eraser, so it can be cleared and rewritten as often as a day requires without staining or marking. Like the felt, this surface is non-magnetic, made for writing rather than holding magnets, which keeps the board light and uncomplicated. Setting the two surfaces next to each other lets a room keep the urgent and fixed apart from the routine and changing, which is the very reason to pick a combination board over a single plain one.
The board is finished to be both smart and responsible. A narrow wood-effect frame runs around both surfaces, tidy enough for a modern office yet warm enough for a classroom or ward, and its core is made from sustainably sourced material, so it answers greener purchasing without dropping in quality. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee comes with it, set against the daily demands of the schools, universities and hospitals it is made for. The result is one fixture that flags what matters, writes what changes and lasts well through heavy daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Red Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for making urgent notices stand out?
A: A red combination board, like the NB1864RD, suits urgent display. The bold red felt draws the eye straight to priority and safety notices, and a smooth dry-wipe section sits alongside it for quick updates. At 1500 by 1200mm it is non-magnetic, eco-built around a sustainably sourced core, and guaranteed for two years.
Q: Why choose red felt over a neutral colour?
A: A strong warm shade such as red registers more quickly than a muted one, and that is precisely why so much hazard and warning signage relies on it. On a busy, crowded wall, anything pinned to the red felt is noticed sooner, so the messages that matter most are far less likely to be scanned past or simply overlooked.
Q: How does a combination board help in a busy space?
A: By combining a pinboard and a whiteboard within one frame, the board lets a single fixture both display fixed notices and record the changing ones. That helps a busy space flag up priority items on the felt half while jotting down day-to-day updates on the dry-wipe panel beside it.
Q: Will the felt cope with frequent pinning?
A: Yes. Made to be pinned into time and time again, the red felt holds each pin firmly and recovers as notices come and go, so material stays put and the surface keeps its look. That is exactly what a busy noticeboard needs when urgent items are swapped over and over through the course of a week.
Q: How is the dry-wipe section kept clean?
A: Wipe the panel daily with a dry eraser, and go over it about once a week with a dedicated whiteboard cleaner to keep it bright. Sticking to proper dry-wipe markers and clearing it often prevents any residue from building up, so the writing surface stays sharp and legible over the years of use.
Q: Is the board magnetic?
A: No, neither of the two surfaces is magnetic. Notices go up on the red felt with pins, and the dry-wipe half is written on with markers, so a magnet has nothing to grip on either side. Pick this board where the real need is for pinning and writing rather than holding items up with magnets.
Q: Does the board suit an NHS ward?
A: Yes. The bold red felt works well for infection control updates and key ward notices that simply cannot be overlooked, while the dry-wipe panel handles the notes that change from one shift to the next. Both stay visible on one board, which helps a busy ward read its information at a glance.
Q: How is the board eco-friendly?
A: The board uses a sustainably sourced core together with a wood-effect frame, which helps lower the environmental impact of the purchase. That makes it a more responsible choice for an organisation weighing sustainability in its purchasing, without giving up the everyday performance or durability a busy board needs.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1862RD?
A: Both are eco combination boards with a red felt half and a dry-wipe half in a wood-effect frame. This board is 1500 by 1200mm, while the NB1862RD is larger at 1800 by 1200mm. Choose this size for a standard room, or the wider one to cover a bigger wall in the same bold red.
Q: How big is the board, and how heavy is it?
A: The board is 1500mm by 1200mm and weighs only 8kg. That area divides between the red felt and the dry-wipe halves so each reads clearly from across a room, and the low weight lets one or two people mount it on a sound wall without any difficulty.
Q: Is it available in other colours?
A: Yes. As well as this red felt, the same combination board comes in other felt colours, including a calmer blue version, the NB1864BL. Different felt colours let a site colour-code areas by purpose, with red flagging the urgent notices, while the board, the frame and the sizes stay the same across the range.
Q: Is this board available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, universities and NHS sites with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders for several rooms can be arranged through our team for delivery together.

Both surfaces are non-magnetic, built for pins on one side and markers on the other, and they sit in a wood-effect frame whose core is sustainably sourced, a greener choice that still stands up to daily use. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee backs the board for that daily use. Best suited for schools, universities and NHS wards where urgent and everyday information has to be seen at a glance.
Why Red Felt Earns Its Place on the Wall
- Colour that commands attention: A bold red felt draws the eye the moment someone walks past, so the notices pinned to it register rather than disappearing into a busy wall. For a priority or safety message, being seen in the first place is really the whole job.
- Pin and write in one frame: The red felt half holds notices securely while a dry-wipe panel beside it takes the messages that change daily, so one board handles both the fixed display and the quick daily updates, with no need for two separate fixtures on the wall.
- Felt that takes the wear: The pin surface is made to be used hard, holding pins again and again without losing grip or going ragged, so urgent notices stay put and the board still looks sharp after months of changes.
- A greener specification: The wood-effect frame is built around a sustainably sourced core, so the board supports more responsible purchasing while still standing up to the demands of a high-traffic setting. Here the greener choice costs nothing at all in everyday performance.
- No magnets, by design: Both surfaces are non-magnetic, made for pins on the felt and dry-wipe markers on the panel rather than magnets. When a board has to show fixed material and also be written on at will, that combination is exactly what a busy space calls for.
- Guaranteed for the long haul: A two-year manufacturer's guarantee stands behind the board, reflecting a build meant for the constant daily use of a classroom, a campus office or a hospital ward rather than light duty.
Where a High-Visibility Combination Board Fits Best
| Schools and Classrooms | Urgent notices, safety reminders and homework deadlines need to be noticed, not scanned past, and the red felt makes sure they are. The dry-wipe half beside it keeps the day's lesson points, so one board carries both the alerts and the everyday notes. |
| Universities and Campus Offices | Event timetables, seminar room changes and departmental announcements compete for attention on a busy campus board. A red felt surface lifts the items that matter above the noise, while the writable panel handles updates that change week to week. |
| NHS Wards and Clinical Areas | Infection control updates and important ward notices have to be impossible to overlook, which is where a bold red pin surface earns its place. The dry-wipe half takes the fast-changing notes of a shift handover, keeping both visible in one spot. |
| Reception and Public Areas | A front-of-house wall often needs one message to stand out from the rest, whether a policy, a closure or a safety notice. Pinning it to red felt does that, while routine information can be written or pinned around it without losing the headline. |
| Workplaces and Staff Rooms | Where a team board has to flag what is urgent against what is merely useful, the colour does the sorting at a glance. Priority items pin to the felt and day-to-day notes go on the dry-wipe panel, so nothing important hides among the routine. |
| Eco-Conscious Organisations | For a buyer weighing environmental impact, a board built around a sustainably sourced core meets the brief while still delivering the high-visibility display a busy site needs. It makes a greener choice without dulling the board's main strength. |
Prefer a Calmer Colour or a Bigger Board?
For a softer, more neutral look, the same board comes in a blue felt version. To cover a larger wall in the same bold red, the 1800mm red board steps the surface up.

The Displaysense NB1864RD is an Eco-Friendly Combination Red Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A dual-surface board pairing a high-visibility red felt pinboard with a dry-wipe whiteboard panel in one wood-effect frame, with a sustainably sourced core. Dimensions 1500mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 8kg. Both surfaces non-magnetic, red felt for pinning and a dry-wipe panel for writing, two-year manufacturer's guarantee. Best suited for schools, universities, NHS wards and reception areas where urgent notices must stand out. Also available in other felt colours such as the blue NB1864BL and in a larger 1800mm size such as the NB1862RD. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Colour is doing a job on this board, not just decorating it. Studies of how people scan a wall find that a strong warm colour is taken in more quickly than a muted shade, which is the reason hazard and priority signage so often reaches for red. A red felt pin surface puts that to work, because anything pinned to it is noticed sooner and read first, so the notice that genuinely matters is not lost among everything else competing for space on the wall. In a setting where a missed message has real consequences, that head start is the whole point of choosing red over a neutral board.
The red felt half is a working pin surface, not just a coloured panel. It is built to take drawing pins and tacks repeatedly, gripping each one firmly and recovering as notices are swapped, so it keeps both its hold and its appearance through constant changes. Because it relies on pins rather than magnets, it suits printed sheets, posters and documents that need to stay exactly where they are placed. The felt covers the half of the board given over to fixed and semi-permanent display, the material that goes up and stays up for a while.
The other half is a dry-wipe panel for everything that changes. Markers write across it cleanly and lift away with an eraser, so it can be cleared and rewritten as often as a day requires without staining or marking. Like the felt, this surface is non-magnetic, made for writing rather than holding magnets, which keeps the board light and uncomplicated. Setting the two surfaces next to each other lets a room keep the urgent and fixed apart from the routine and changing, which is the very reason to pick a combination board over a single plain one.
The board is finished to be both smart and responsible. A narrow wood-effect frame runs around both surfaces, tidy enough for a modern office yet warm enough for a classroom or ward, and its core is made from sustainably sourced material, so it answers greener purchasing without dropping in quality. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee comes with it, set against the daily demands of the schools, universities and hospitals it is made for. The result is one fixture that flags what matters, writes what changes and lasts well through heavy daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Red Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for making urgent notices stand out?
A: A red combination board, like the NB1864RD, suits urgent display. The bold red felt draws the eye straight to priority and safety notices, and a smooth dry-wipe section sits alongside it for quick updates. At 1500 by 1200mm it is non-magnetic, eco-built around a sustainably sourced core, and guaranteed for two years.
Q: Why choose red felt over a neutral colour?
A: A strong warm shade such as red registers more quickly than a muted one, and that is precisely why so much hazard and warning signage relies on it. On a busy, crowded wall, anything pinned to the red felt is noticed sooner, so the messages that matter most are far less likely to be scanned past or simply overlooked.
Q: How does a combination board help in a busy space?
A: By combining a pinboard and a whiteboard within one frame, the board lets a single fixture both display fixed notices and record the changing ones. That helps a busy space flag up priority items on the felt half while jotting down day-to-day updates on the dry-wipe panel beside it.
Q: Will the felt cope with frequent pinning?
A: Yes. Made to be pinned into time and time again, the red felt holds each pin firmly and recovers as notices come and go, so material stays put and the surface keeps its look. That is exactly what a busy noticeboard needs when urgent items are swapped over and over through the course of a week.
Q: How is the dry-wipe section kept clean?
A: Wipe the panel daily with a dry eraser, and go over it about once a week with a dedicated whiteboard cleaner to keep it bright. Sticking to proper dry-wipe markers and clearing it often prevents any residue from building up, so the writing surface stays sharp and legible over the years of use.
Q: Is the board magnetic?
A: No, neither of the two surfaces is magnetic. Notices go up on the red felt with pins, and the dry-wipe half is written on with markers, so a magnet has nothing to grip on either side. Pick this board where the real need is for pinning and writing rather than holding items up with magnets.
Q: Does the board suit an NHS ward?
A: Yes. The bold red felt works well for infection control updates and key ward notices that simply cannot be overlooked, while the dry-wipe panel handles the notes that change from one shift to the next. Both stay visible on one board, which helps a busy ward read its information at a glance.
Q: How is the board eco-friendly?
A: The board uses a sustainably sourced core together with a wood-effect frame, which helps lower the environmental impact of the purchase. That makes it a more responsible choice for an organisation weighing sustainability in its purchasing, without giving up the everyday performance or durability a busy board needs.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1862RD?
A: Both are eco combination boards with a red felt half and a dry-wipe half in a wood-effect frame. This board is 1500 by 1200mm, while the NB1862RD is larger at 1800 by 1200mm. Choose this size for a standard room, or the wider one to cover a bigger wall in the same bold red.
Q: How big is the board, and how heavy is it?
A: The board is 1500mm by 1200mm and weighs only 8kg. That area divides between the red felt and the dry-wipe halves so each reads clearly from across a room, and the low weight lets one or two people mount it on a sound wall without any difficulty.
Q: Is it available in other colours?
A: Yes. As well as this red felt, the same combination board comes in other felt colours, including a calmer blue version, the NB1864BL. Different felt colours let a site colour-code areas by purpose, with red flagging the urgent notices, while the board, the frame and the sizes stay the same across the range.
Q: Is this board available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. The board ships with free UK mainland delivery. Displaysense has supplied UK schools, universities and NHS sites with display products since 1978, so you order from a UK display specialist. Bulk orders for several rooms can be arranged through our team for delivery together.
Guides to Displays That Get Noticed
A bold board works best with a little thought about what to flag and how to lay it out. It helps to know how to pick the right board for a space, how colour and arrangement make a notice impossible to miss, and why a sustainably sourced build is worth weighing in a purchase. These guides cover choosing display boards, creating eye-catching displays and the move toward greener sourcing.
Overview
The Board That Makes Important Notices Impossible to Miss
On a wall crowded with paper, the things that matter most are the easiest to overlook. The NB1864RD answers that with a bold red felt pin surface that pulls the eye straight to it, so priority notices, safety information and timetables stand out clearly instead of blending into the background. Alongside the felt sits a smooth dry-wipe panel for the quick updates and team messages that change through the day, giving one board both a place to pin and a place to write. The colour does real work here. A bold red felt reads as urgent in a way a neutral board never quite will, which is exactly why it suits the kind of notices a school or a hospital ward simply cannot afford to have missed. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, built for pins on one side and markers on the other, and they sit in a wood-effect frame whose core is sustainably sourced, a greener choice that still stands up to daily use. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee backs the board for that daily use. Best suited for schools, universities and NHS wards where urgent and everyday information has to be seen at a glance.
