A Big Board That Also Demands to Be Noticed
A large board solves the problem of being seen across a room; a red one solves the problem of being seen at all. The NB1862RD brings both together, a wide-format combination board whose bold red felt pin surface pulls the eye while its scale carries clear to the back of a hall or ward. Priority notices, safety information and timetables pinned to the red felt register first and read from a distance, and the dry-wipe panel alongside handles the announcements and figures that change through the day. The width gives each surface real working room, so a busy space is not forced to choose between a board that is large and one that stands out. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, intended for pins on the felt and dry-wipe markers on the panel, and they sit in a light wood-effect frame built around a sustainably sourced core, a greener specification that still takes daily punishment. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee covers the board. Best suited for large classrooms, lecture halls and NHS wards where urgent information has to be both prominent and legible right across a sizeable room.
Why a Large Red Board Pulls Its Weight
- Seen across the room and at a glance: The wide format reads from the back of a hall while the bold red felt draws the eye to it, so an urgent notice is both legible at distance and impossible to overlook. Size and colour solve two visibility problems at once.
- A wide pin half plus a wide panel: The red felt and the dry-wipe surface each get generous space, so priority notices and changing notes both have room to spread rather than competing on a cramped board. One large fixture covers display and writing together.
- Felt that withstands constant use: The pin surface is built to take pins over and over without loosening its hold or looking tired, so a heavily used noticeboard stays secure and sharp even as material is changed through the week. Frequent re-pinning is its design brief.
- A greener large board: The wood-effect frame is built around a sustainably sourced core, so covering a big wall does not mean a heavier environmental cost. The sustainability sits in the materials rather than in a label on the front.
- No magnets, by intent: Both surfaces are non-magnetic, made for pins on the felt and markers on the panel rather than magnets. For a large board that has to display fixed material and be written on freely, that pairing is what a busy room needs.
- Built for the long term: A two-year manufacturer's guarantee stands behind the board, reflecting a build made for the steady daily demands of a school, a campus or a hospital rather than light, occasional use.
Where This Large Red Combination Board Fits Best
| Large Classrooms | Urgent notices and safety reminders in a big teaching room have to be seen by every pupil, and a wide red felt makes sure they are. Timetables stay pinned while the dry-wipe half carries the day's work, both clear from the back of the room. |
| Lecture Halls and Theatres | A lecture theatre needs a display that reads for a whole cohort and flags what matters most. The large red felt lifts priority course information above the rest, and the wide panel gives a lecturer real room to work without cramping. |
| Universities and Departments | Busy departmental areas use one large board to keep notices and planning central. Important announcements stand out on the red felt for the weeks they apply, while the dry-wipe half handles the planning a department runs on day to day. |
| NHS Wards and Clinical Areas | Infection control updates and key ward notices must be impossible to miss across a clinical area, which is where a large red pin surface earns its place. The dry-wipe half takes the fast-changing notes a shift handover depends on. |
| Reception and Public Areas | A large front-of-house wall often needs one message to stand clear of the rest, such as a policy or a safety notice. Pinning it to the bold red felt does that at scale, while routine information sits around it without losing the headline. |
| Eco-Minded Organisations | Where a buyer weighs environmental impact across a large fit-out, a sizeable board built on a sustainably sourced core meets the brief while still delivering high-visibility display. It makes a greener choice without dulling the board's main strength. |
Need a Smaller Board or a Calmer Colour?
For a more compact wall, the same board comes in a 1500mm red version. Prefer a neutral tone at this width? The 1800mm blue board offers the same size in calmer blue felt.

The Displaysense NB1862RD is an Eco-Friendly Combination Red Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A large-format 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 1800mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 6kg. Both surfaces non-magnetic, red felt for pinning and a dry-wipe panel for writing, landscape orientation, wall fixings supplied, two-year manufacturer's guarantee. Best suited for large classrooms, lecture halls, universities, NHS wards and reception areas where urgent notices must stand out. Also available in a smaller 1500mm size such as the NB1864RD and in other felt colours such as the blue NB1862BL. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
This board answers two visibility problems at once. Scale handles distance, because at 1800mm wide the felt and the dry-wipe halves stay legible from the back of a hall or across an open ward, where a smaller board would force people to gather close. Colour handles attention, because a strong warm red is taken in faster than a muted shade, which is why warning and priority signage so often uses it. Put the two together and the most important notice on the wall is both large enough and bold enough that it does not get missed in a busy space.
The red felt half is a hard-working pin surface sized for volume. Its width lets several notices, schedules or printed sheets sit side by side rather than overlapping, and the felt is made to accept pins again and again while holding its grip and keeping its look. Because it relies on pins rather than magnets, it suits documents and posters that need to stay precisely where they are placed. This half holds the standing and priority material, the information that goes up and stays in view for a stretch of time.
The dry-wipe half is the part that moves with the day. Markers glide over it and erase away cleanly, so the panel can be cleared and rewritten as often as a lecture or a shift requires without any marks left behind. Like the felt, this surface carries no magnetic backing; it is meant for writing on rather than carrying magnets, which keeps a board of this size light and uncomplicated. Placing the two halves side by side lets a large room keep its fixed and urgent notices apart from its changing ones, all on a single wall.
The board is finished to be presentable and responsible in equal measure. A light wood-effect frame surrounds the surfaces, lending a touch of rustic warmth that softens a large board in a corporate or clinical room, and the board is made up around a responsibly sourced core, so the eco credentials are in the construction itself. Wall fixings come in the box for a straightforward mount even at this width, and a two-year manufacturer's guarantee backs the board against the daily demands of the schools, universities and hospitals it serves.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 1800mm (W) x 1200mm (H) | A wide, large-format board sized to be read clearly from right across a busy lecture hall, a big classroom or an open hospital ward. |
| Orientation | Landscape | The wide landscape shape gives each of the two working surfaces plenty of generous side-by-side room for pinned notices and writing alike. |

| Writing Surface | Dry-wipe panel | A smooth dry-wipe panel for standard markers that wipes clear again and again, ready for the updates that come during a lecture or a shift. |
| Magnetic | No, non-magnetic | Each surface is intended for pinning or for writing rather than for holding magnets, which helps keep even a large board simple and light to handle. |
| Frame | Light wood-effect | A light wood-tone frame that adds a real touch of rustic warmth and helps to soften the scale of a large board against the bold red felt. |
| Core Materials | Sustainably sourced | The board sits on a responsibly sourced core, which directly supports greener and more responsible purchasing decisions across a site. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | A two-year manufacturer's guarantee gives buyers added confidence for steady daily use in a busy, high-traffic professional setting. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Large Red Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best large noticeboard for making urgent notices stand out?
A: A large red combination board, like the NB1862RD, suits that job. At 1800 by 1200mm it reads across a big room, and the strong red felt pulls attention straight to priority and safety notices, with a dry-wipe panel alongside for quick updates. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, eco-built, and guaranteed for two years.
Q: How big is the board, and how heavy is it?
A: The board measures 1800mm by 1200mm and weighs 6kg. The wide landscape format leaves the felt pin half and the writing panel enough room to be read across a large room, while the light weight means two people can comfortably lift and hang the board on a sound wall without any difficulty.
Q: Why choose red felt over a neutral colour?
A: A strong warm shade such as red registers faster than a muted one, and that is why hazard and priority signage relies on it. On a large, busy wall, anything pinned to the red felt is noticed sooner, so the messages that matter most are less likely to be scanned past or overlooked.
Q: Can the board hold both permanent and changeable information?
A: Yes. Pins hold fixed notices such as timetables and safety information on the red felt half, while the dry-wipe half is written on for updates that rotate through the day. Having both on one wide board lets a large room keep its standing and its changing information together in a single spot.
Q: Will the felt cope with frequent pinning?
A: Yes. Built to be pinned into over and over, the red felt keeps its grip and its tidy look as material comes and goes, so notices stay firmly in place and the board stays sharp. That is what a heavily used noticeboard needs when urgent items are swapped repeatedly through a working week.
Q: Is the board magnetic?
A: No, both surfaces are non-magnetic. The red felt half holds notices with pins, and the dry-wipe half is written on with markers, so a magnet will not stick to either side. Choose this combination board where the need is for pinning and writing rather than displaying items with magnets.
Q: How is the board eco-friendly?
A: The board uses a responsibly sourced core set in a light wood-effect frame, which helps to reduce the environmental impact of the purchase. That makes it a more responsible choice for an organisation buying sustainably, without giving up the durability a large, busy board needs.
Q: Does the board suit an NHS ward or clinical area?
A: Yes. The large red felt keeps infection prevention updates and important ward notices prominent across a clinical area, while the dry-wipe panel carries the updates that arrive with every shift handover. The board's size means the information reads from right across the ward rather than only up close at the board itself.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1864RD?
A: Both pair a red felt half with a dry-wipe half in a wood-effect frame and share the same eco build. The two differ in scale, since this one runs to 1800 by 1200mm where the NB1864RD is 1500 by 1200mm. Go large for a lecture hall or big classroom, or smaller for an ordinary room.
Q: Is the board easy to mount?
A: Yes. The board comes supplied with all the wall fixings needed to mount it, so there is nothing extra to source first. At 6kg it is light for its size, so a pair of people can lift it into place and fix it securely to a sound wall in landscape orientation without trouble.
Q: Is it available in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. As well as this large red felt, the same combination board comes in other felt colours, including a blue version, the NB1862BL, and in a smaller 1500mm red size. Different felt colours let a site code areas by purpose, while the board and the frame 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.

Best suited for large classrooms, lecture halls and NHS wards where urgent information has to be both prominent and legible right across a sizeable room.
Why a Large Red Board Pulls Its Weight
- Seen across the room and at a glance: The wide format reads from the back of a hall while the bold red felt draws the eye to it, so an urgent notice is both legible at distance and impossible to overlook. Size and colour solve two visibility problems at once.
- A wide pin half plus a wide panel: The red felt and the dry-wipe surface each get generous space, so priority notices and changing notes both have room to spread rather than competing on a cramped board. One large fixture covers display and writing together.
- Felt that withstands constant use: The pin surface is built to take pins over and over without loosening its hold or looking tired, so a heavily used noticeboard stays secure and sharp even as material is changed through the week. Frequent re-pinning is its design brief.
- A greener large board: The wood-effect frame is built around a sustainably sourced core, so covering a big wall does not mean a heavier environmental cost. The sustainability sits in the materials rather than in a label on the front.
- No magnets, by intent: Both surfaces are non-magnetic, made for pins on the felt and markers on the panel rather than magnets. For a large board that has to display fixed material and be written on freely, that pairing is what a busy room needs.
- Built for the long term: A two-year manufacturer's guarantee stands behind the board, reflecting a build made for the steady daily demands of a school, a campus or a hospital rather than light, occasional use.
Where This Large Red Combination Board Fits Best
| Large Classrooms | Urgent notices and safety reminders in a big teaching room have to be seen by every pupil, and a wide red felt makes sure they are. Timetables stay pinned while the dry-wipe half carries the day's work, both clear from the back of the room. |
| Lecture Halls and Theatres | A lecture theatre needs a display that reads for a whole cohort and flags what matters most. The large red felt lifts priority course information above the rest, and the wide panel gives a lecturer real room to work without cramping. |
| Universities and Departments | Busy departmental areas use one large board to keep notices and planning central. Important announcements stand out on the red felt for the weeks they apply, while the dry-wipe half handles the planning a department runs on day to day. |
| NHS Wards and Clinical Areas | Infection control updates and key ward notices must be impossible to miss across a clinical area, which is where a large red pin surface earns its place. The dry-wipe half takes the fast-changing notes a shift handover depends on. |
| Reception and Public Areas | A large front-of-house wall often needs one message to stand clear of the rest, such as a policy or a safety notice. Pinning it to the bold red felt does that at scale, while routine information sits around it without losing the headline. |
| Eco-Minded Organisations | Where a buyer weighs environmental impact across a large fit-out, a sizeable board built on a sustainably sourced core meets the brief while still delivering high-visibility display. It makes a greener choice without dulling the board's main strength. |
Need a Smaller Board or a Calmer Colour?
For a more compact wall, the same board comes in a 1500mm red version. Prefer a neutral tone at this width? The 1800mm blue board offers the same size in calmer blue felt.

The Displaysense NB1862RD is an Eco-Friendly Combination Red Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. A large-format 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 1800mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 6kg. Both surfaces non-magnetic, red felt for pinning and a dry-wipe panel for writing, landscape orientation, wall fixings supplied, two-year manufacturer's guarantee. Best suited for large classrooms, lecture halls, universities, NHS wards and reception areas where urgent notices must stand out. Also available in a smaller 1500mm size such as the NB1864RD and in other felt colours such as the blue NB1862BL. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
This board answers two visibility problems at once. Scale handles distance, because at 1800mm wide the felt and the dry-wipe halves stay legible from the back of a hall or across an open ward, where a smaller board would force people to gather close. Colour handles attention, because a strong warm red is taken in faster than a muted shade, which is why warning and priority signage so often uses it. Put the two together and the most important notice on the wall is both large enough and bold enough that it does not get missed in a busy space.
The red felt half is a hard-working pin surface sized for volume. Its width lets several notices, schedules or printed sheets sit side by side rather than overlapping, and the felt is made to accept pins again and again while holding its grip and keeping its look. Because it relies on pins rather than magnets, it suits documents and posters that need to stay precisely where they are placed. This half holds the standing and priority material, the information that goes up and stays in view for a stretch of time.
The dry-wipe half is the part that moves with the day. Markers glide over it and erase away cleanly, so the panel can be cleared and rewritten as often as a lecture or a shift requires without any marks left behind. Like the felt, this surface carries no magnetic backing; it is meant for writing on rather than carrying magnets, which keeps a board of this size light and uncomplicated. Placing the two halves side by side lets a large room keep its fixed and urgent notices apart from its changing ones, all on a single wall.
The board is finished to be presentable and responsible in equal measure. A light wood-effect frame surrounds the surfaces, lending a touch of rustic warmth that softens a large board in a corporate or clinical room, and the board is made up around a responsibly sourced core, so the eco credentials are in the construction itself. Wall fixings come in the box for a straightforward mount even at this width, and a two-year manufacturer's guarantee backs the board against the daily demands of the schools, universities and hospitals it serves.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Board Dimensions | 1800mm (W) x 1200mm (H) | A wide, large-format board sized to be read clearly from right across a busy lecture hall, a big classroom or an open hospital ward. |
| Orientation | Landscape | The wide landscape shape gives each of the two working surfaces plenty of generous side-by-side room for pinned notices and writing alike. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Large Red Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best large noticeboard for making urgent notices stand out?
A: A large red combination board, like the NB1862RD, suits that job. At 1800 by 1200mm it reads across a big room, and the strong red felt pulls attention straight to priority and safety notices, with a dry-wipe panel alongside for quick updates. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, eco-built, and guaranteed for two years.
Q: How big is the board, and how heavy is it?
A: The board measures 1800mm by 1200mm and weighs 6kg. The wide landscape format leaves the felt pin half and the writing panel enough room to be read across a large room, while the light weight means two people can comfortably lift and hang the board on a sound wall without any difficulty.
Q: Why choose red felt over a neutral colour?
A: A strong warm shade such as red registers faster than a muted one, and that is why hazard and priority signage relies on it. On a large, busy wall, anything pinned to the red felt is noticed sooner, so the messages that matter most are less likely to be scanned past or overlooked.
Q: Can the board hold both permanent and changeable information?
A: Yes. Pins hold fixed notices such as timetables and safety information on the red felt half, while the dry-wipe half is written on for updates that rotate through the day. Having both on one wide board lets a large room keep its standing and its changing information together in a single spot.
Q: Will the felt cope with frequent pinning?
A: Yes. Built to be pinned into over and over, the red felt keeps its grip and its tidy look as material comes and goes, so notices stay firmly in place and the board stays sharp. That is what a heavily used noticeboard needs when urgent items are swapped repeatedly through a working week.
Q: Is the board magnetic?
A: No, both surfaces are non-magnetic. The red felt half holds notices with pins, and the dry-wipe half is written on with markers, so a magnet will not stick to either side. Choose this combination board where the need is for pinning and writing rather than displaying items with magnets.
Q: How is the board eco-friendly?
A: The board uses a responsibly sourced core set in a light wood-effect frame, which helps to reduce the environmental impact of the purchase. That makes it a more responsible choice for an organisation buying sustainably, without giving up the durability a large, busy board needs.
Q: Does the board suit an NHS ward or clinical area?
A: Yes. The large red felt keeps infection prevention updates and important ward notices prominent across a clinical area, while the dry-wipe panel carries the updates that arrive with every shift handover. The board's size means the information reads from right across the ward rather than only up close at the board itself.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1864RD?
A: Both pair a red felt half with a dry-wipe half in a wood-effect frame and share the same eco build. The two differ in scale, since this one runs to 1800 by 1200mm where the NB1864RD is 1500 by 1200mm. Go large for a lecture hall or big classroom, or smaller for an ordinary room.
Q: Is the board easy to mount?
A: Yes. The board comes supplied with all the wall fixings needed to mount it, so there is nothing extra to source first. At 6kg it is light for its size, so a pair of people can lift it into place and fix it securely to a sound wall in landscape orientation without trouble.
Q: Is it available in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. As well as this large red felt, the same combination board comes in other felt colours, including a blue version, the NB1862BL, and in a smaller 1500mm red size. Different felt colours let a site code areas by purpose, while the board and the frame 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 Seen
A large, bold board works best with some thought about what to flag and how to lay it out. It helps to know how to choose the right board for a room, how colour and arrangement make a notice stand out, 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
A Big Board That Also Demands to Be Noticed
A large board solves the problem of being seen across a room; a red one solves the problem of being seen at all. The NB1862RD brings both together, a wide-format combination board whose bold red felt pin surface pulls the eye while its scale carries clear to the back of a hall or ward. Priority notices, safety information and timetables pinned to the red felt register first and read from a distance, and the dry-wipe panel alongside handles the announcements and figures that change through the day. The width gives each surface real working room, so a busy space is not forced to choose between a board that is large and one that stands out. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, intended for pins on the felt and dry-wipe markers on the panel, and they sit in a light wood-effect frame built around a sustainably sourced core, a greener specification that still takes daily punishment. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee covers the board. Best suited for large classrooms, lecture halls and NHS wards where urgent information has to be both prominent and legible right across a sizeable room.
