A Large Grey Noticeboard Built for a Full, Busy Wall
A large board in a busy, shared space is never short of things pinned to it. Notices, rotas, reminders and updates build up quickly, and against a strong colour all that mixed content can start to look like clutter. A neutral grey holds it together, letting a full board stay clear and readable instead of chaotic, so the information does the talking while the board simply carries it. Both the surface and the frame are recycled rather than newly made, so it does all of that without an environmental cost. On a wall that has to carry a lot and still be glanced at quickly, a calm surface is doing more work than it first appears. Best suited for classrooms, staffrooms and community buildings where a big board fills fast and still has to be easy to read.
Why a Grey Noticeboard Keeps a Crowded Wall Readable
- Calm under a full load: Grey sits quietly behind whatever goes up, so even a board packed with mixed notices stays easy to scan rather than turning into visual noise. In a busy staffroom or classroom that keeps the most important updates findable instead of lost in the crowd of paper.
- Plenty of room to fill: A wide felt face gives space for rotas, schedules, notices and reminders all at once, without anything overlapping or squeezed to the edges. Where several people post their own updates, that room means nobody has to take something down just to put something up.
- A pin surface that recovers: Push a pin in or pull one out and the felt takes it anywhere, the weave closing back over old holes, so a board changed constantly keeps a smart, even face. On a board reorganised week in and week out, that matters far more than on one rarely touched.
- Recycled from face to frame: Recycled material goes into the surface and the wood-effect frame alike, in place of new plastic and aluminium, so a fitting this size adds nothing to a footprint. A board for a busy, eco-minded workplace should not quietly undo the values of the people using it.
- Hangs whichever way the wall wants: Supplied fixings handle a broad landscape span or, with equal ease, an upright portrait mount, so it works on a long corridor wall just as well as in a narrow nook. Matching the orientation to the space takes no extra parts and no second order.
- British-made, simply fitted: Made and designed in the UK, the board is light for its size and one person can put it up using the fixings provided. Cover runs to two years and returns stay open for 28 days, so kitting out a busy wall stays a low-risk decision from the start.
The Busy Shared Spaces a Large Grey Noticeboard Is Made For
| Schools and Classrooms | Few walls fill faster than a classroom or school corridor, and a large grey board takes the constant flow of timetables, notices and pupil work while keeping it legible rather than letting a bright board add to the busyness. |
| Busy Staffrooms | Behind the staffroom door, updates pile up daily, and a wide grey board carries rotas, memos and reminders for the whole team on a calm surface that stays readable however much ends up pinned across it. |
| Shared Office Areas | Where several teams post at once, an open-plan or shared office leans on a big neutral board, the grey keeping a crowded mix of schedules and notices clear instead of a wall of competing colour. |
| Community and Public Buildings | Up on the wall of a community or public building, a large grey board holds timetables, events and notices for a changing crowd, its quiet colour suiting a space that many different groups pass through, use and pin to over the course of a week. |
| Reception and Waiting Areas | Calm and organised is how a neutral board makes a reception or waiting area look, the wide grey surface keeping notices and updates tidy and on-brand for anyone passing through the space. |
| Home Offices | Working from home calls for a board that fits a study without dominating it, and a grey surface keeps projects, deadlines and reminders in clear view while blending into a domestic room rather than standing out like a piece of office kit. |
Looking for a Smaller Grey Board?
If the wall would be better served by something smaller, the Eco-Friendly Grey Felt Noticeboard with Wood Effect Frame 1200mm x 1200mm gives the same grey felt and recycled wood-effect frame as a 1200mm x 1200mm square. Green, blue and red are offered alongside grey. Order with free UK mainland delivery.

NB1843GR is an Eco-Friendly Grey Felt Noticeboard with Wood Effect Frame from Displaysense. Built entirely from recycled materials, a large open felt noticeboard with a light wood-effect recycled frame and a neutral grey pin surface that takes drawing pins across a wide face. Dimensions 1500mm x 1200mm. Weight 4kg. Recycled grey felt accepting pins, a light wood-effect recycled frame, portrait or landscape mounting, wall fixings included and a two year guarantee, made in the UK. Used by schools and classrooms, staffrooms, shared and open-plan offices, community and public buildings, reception and waiting areas and home offices across the UK as a large, neutral, low-impact noticeboard that keeps a busy, full board readable. Also available in green, blue and red, in sizes from 900mm x 600mm up to 2400mm x 1200mm, and in a combination version with a whiteboard panel. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK delivery.
The real test of a large noticeboard is how it looks once it is full. Empty, almost any board will do, but a wide board in a busy office or school spends most of its life carrying dozens of notices at once, and that is where the colour underneath begins to matter. A neutral grey lets a crowded surface stay legible, holding the eye on the content rather than on a loud background fighting it for attention. The more a board has to hold, the more a calm colour matters, because there is that much more content for it to keep in order. It is the difference between a busy board that still reads clearly and one that simply looks cluttered.
Size is the other half of the job. A generous felt face gives several people room to post at once, so a rota, a notice and a reminder can each sit in their own space rather than competing for a small board. In a shared room that means the board rarely runs out of space mid-week, and nothing useful has to come down early to make way for something new. That headroom is easy to underrate until the moment a board is full and one more thing still has to go up somewhere. Grouped into rough zones, a wide board keeps even a heavy load of paper findable rather than buried.
None of that scale comes at an environmental price. What goes into the felt and the wood-effect frame is recycled material throughout, not new plastic and aluminium, so even a board sized for a busy wall keeps a light footprint. For a school or workplace trying to make greener choices, a fitting that backs up those values rather than working against them is worth having. On a board seen every day by staff, pupils or visitors, having the materials match the message is no small thing, and a board of this width puts a real amount of recycled content to use.
Installation only takes one person despite the size, since the board stays light and the wall fixings come supplied. It hangs landscape for a wide wall or portrait for an upright one, with no lock or door to fit around. Drawing pins press into the felt anywhere across the face and lift back out cleanly, so a board reorganised often keeps a tidy look even after months of swapping notices in and out. It is made in Britain, the guarantee runs two years and returns stay open for 28 days, so a large board for a busy space is a low-risk addition that lifts off again as easily as it went up if the room is rearranged.
What Ships with This Noticeboard
- 1 x recycled grey felt noticeboard with light wood-effect frame
- 1 x set of wall fixings for portrait or landscape installation
Need to Write as Well as Pin?
When a space needs writing room too, the Eco-Friendly Combination Grey Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard 1200mm x 1200mm brings an eco whiteboard together with recycled grey felt on the wood-effect frame, in a 1200mm x 1200mm size.

Full specifications for the NB1843GR follow below. It is the wide grey board in the recycled felt range, open-faced, with a neutral pin surface, a light wood-effect edge, fixings supplied and two years of cover, all UK-made. Every row ties a fact to what it gives a busy shared wall, so there is nothing to puzzle out before ordering.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Colour / Finish | Neutral grey felt | Grey sits back behind whatever is pinned to it, so a crowded board reads as organised rather than busy, and the surface suits almost any room without clashing. |
| Board Size | 1500mm x 1200mm | A wide face gives room for several people to post at once, which suits a shared wall far better than a small board that fills and overflows within days. |
| Weight | 4kg | Light for its width, the board can be lifted and held by one person while fitting, so hanging a large noticeboard needs no help and no special equipment. |
| Surface | Recycled grey felt, takes pins | Drawing pins push in and pull out anywhere across the felt, and the weave recovers as they move, keeping a board that changes daily looking even and unworn. |
| Frame | Light wood-effect, recycled material | A pale wood-look edge frames the grey softly, giving a large board a warm, finished look instead of the hard outline of a plain office board. |
| Construction | 100% recycled materials | Nothing in the board is newly made plastic or metal, the whole of it coming from recycled stock, which is how a fitting this wide stays kind to a sustainability report. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Fixings suit either a wide landscape run or an upright portrait fit, so the board matches a long corridor or a narrower wall with no extra parts to buy. |
| Fixings | Wall fixings included | All the parts to hang it sit in the box from day one, which means no waiting on a separate order of brackets and no trip to the shops before fitting. |
| Installation | One-person fit | A light board and supplied fixings keep fitting a solo task, and with no door or lock there is nothing to align beyond getting the board level. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | A board facing constant pinning is backed for two years, so the heavy wear of a busy wall is covered from the day it first goes up. |
| Made In | United Kingdom | Because it is designed and built here, support and any replacement sit close to hand for a UK buyer, not on a slow boat from overseas. |
| Returns | 28-day returns | Ordering a large board sight unseen is less of a gamble when there is the best part of a month to return it should the size or shade miss the mark. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Large Eco-Friendly Grey Noticeboard
Q: What is the best large noticeboard for a busy staffroom or classroom?
A: The best large noticeboard for a busy staffroom or classroom is the NB1843GR, a fully recycled grey felt board on a wood-effect frame at 1500mm x 1200mm. Its wide pin surface holds a heavy load of notices while the neutral grey keeps them readable. One person can hang it portrait or landscape, and it is British-made with a two year guarantee.
Q: Is a recycled felt noticeboard genuinely eco-friendly?
A: Yes. Felt and frame alike are recycled stock, never virgin plastic or metal, and that is where the eco credentials come from. Nothing about it is token, the recycling running through the whole board, frame as well as felt, so even a large fitting keeps its impact genuinely low.
Q: What is this grey noticeboard made from?
A: Recycled grey felt over a recycled wood-effect frame makes up the board, with no new plastic or aluminium in it. Sticking to recycled material is what keeps the footprint low, while the felt stays firm enough to grip pins across a wide face. It is put together in the UK and comes with two years of cover.
Q: Should I choose this or the smaller NB1842GY square?
A: The NB1843GR and the NB1842GY share the same recycled grey felt, wood-effect frame and pin surface, differing only in size, 1500mm x 1200mm here against a 1200mm x 1200mm square. Choose the larger board for a busy shared wall that fills fast, or the square when the wall is smaller or the load is lighter.
Q: Is this noticeboard suitable for a school or shared office?
A: Yes. A school or shared office is exactly where this board fits, the wide grey surface carrying a busy mix of notices for several users while staying readable. At 4kg it hangs easily either way up, and the neutral colour blends into a classroom or an open-plan room alike.
Q: Does this grey noticeboard take pins, and how big is the surface?
A: The grey felt takes drawing pins anywhere across a wide 1500mm by 1200mm face, and the weave closes over old holes as notices move. That large surface lets several people post at once, which is why it suits a shared wall where a smaller board would fill and overflow.
Q: What size and weight is this grey noticeboard?
A: The board measures 1500mm by 1200mm and weighs 4kg, with a wide recycled grey felt face for pinning set in a light wood-effect frame. It mounts portrait or landscape on the supplied fixings, the neutral grey chosen to keep a full, busy board easy to read rather than cluttered.
Q: How do I know if I need the full 1500mm width?
A: Go by how busy the wall is. A heavily used shared board that several people post to suits the full width, while a quieter wall or a single user is well served by a smaller size. The wider face mainly buys room, so a board that is always full is where it earns its place.
Q: Will the felt cope with constant pinning?
A: It copes well. Pins push in and lift out across the grey felt all day, and the weave recovers so old holes do not show, keeping a constantly changed board tidy. A two year guarantee and 28-day returns sit behind it, so heavy daily use is already accounted for.
Q: How is a large noticeboard fixed to a wall?
A: Fitting takes one person. The wall fixings come supplied, the board is light for its width, and it hangs landscape or portrait with no lock or door to work around. Once it is up, drawing pins go into the grey felt anywhere across the face, with no tools needed for day-to-day use.
Q: What sizes and colours does this noticeboard come in?
A: Four recycled felt colours are made, with grey joined by green, blue and red. This 1500mm x 1200mm sits in a range of sizes, from smaller boards up to wider ones, and a combination version pairs the felt with a whiteboard panel for walls that need writing space as well as pinning room.
Q: Does this noticeboard come with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Being UK-made, it ships free to the mainland with no surcharge for the larger size. Schools, offices and public buildings have bought display products from Displaysense since 1978, and every order is backed by a UK team and 28-day returns.
Choosing the Right Recycled Noticeboard for a Busy Space
Getting a noticeboard right means thinking about size, colour and how a board holds up once it is busy. These Displaysense guides walk through choosing the right board for a space, what recycled and sustainable sourcing really involves, matching a board to an office, school or event, and the part colour plays in how a room reads.

A Large Grey Noticeboard Built for a Full, Busy Wall
A large board in a busy, shared space is never short of things pinned to it. Notices, rotas, reminders and updates build up quickly, and against a strong colour all that mixed content can start to look like clutter. A neutral grey holds it together, letting a full board stay clear and readable instead of chaotic, so the information does the talking while the board simply carries it. Both the surface and the frame are recycled rather than newly made, so it does all of that without an environmental cost. On a wall that has to carry a lot and still be glanced at quickly, a calm surface is doing more work than it first appears. Best suited for classrooms, staffrooms and community buildings where a big board fills fast and still has to be easy to read.
Why a Grey Noticeboard Keeps a Crowded Wall Readable
- Calm under a full load: Grey sits quietly behind whatever goes up, so even a board packed with mixed notices stays easy to scan rather than turning into visual noise. In a busy staffroom or classroom that keeps the most important updates findable instead of lost in the crowd of paper.
- Plenty of room to fill: A wide felt face gives space for rotas, schedules, notices and reminders all at once, without anything overlapping or squeezed to the edges. Where several people post their own updates, that room means nobody has to take something down just to put something up.
- A pin surface that recovers: Push a pin in or pull one out and the felt takes it anywhere, the weave closing back over old holes, so a board changed constantly keeps a smart, even face. On a board reorganised week in and week out, that matters far more than on one rarely touched.
- Recycled from face to frame: Recycled material goes into the surface and the wood-effect frame alike, in place of new plastic and aluminium, so a fitting this size adds nothing to a footprint. A board for a busy, eco-minded workplace should not quietly undo the values of the people using it.
- Hangs whichever way the wall wants: Supplied fixings handle a broad landscape span or, with equal ease, an upright portrait mount, so it works on a long corridor wall just as well as in a narrow nook. Matching the orientation to the space takes no extra parts and no second order.
- British-made, simply fitted: Made and designed in the UK, the board is light for its size and one person can put it up using the fixings provided. Cover runs to two years and returns stay open for 28 days, so kitting out a busy wall stays a low-risk decision from the start.
The Busy Shared Spaces a Large Grey Noticeboard Is Made For
| Schools and Classrooms | Few walls fill faster than a classroom or school corridor, and a large grey board takes the constant flow of timetables, notices and pupil work while keeping it legible rather than letting a bright board add to the busyness. |
| Busy Staffrooms | Behind the staffroom door, updates pile up daily, and a wide grey board carries rotas, memos and reminders for the whole team on a calm surface that stays readable however much ends up pinned across it. |
| Shared Office Areas | Where several teams post at once, an open-plan or shared office leans on a big neutral board, the grey keeping a crowded mix of schedules and notices clear instead of a wall of competing colour. |
| Community and Public Buildings | Up on the wall of a community or public building, a large grey board holds timetables, events and notices for a changing crowd, its quiet colour suiting a space that many different groups pass through, use and pin to over the course of a week. |
| Reception and Waiting Areas | Calm and organised is how a neutral board makes a reception or waiting area look, the wide grey surface keeping notices and updates tidy and on-brand for anyone passing through the space. |
| Home Offices | Working from home calls for a board that fits a study without dominating it, and a grey surface keeps projects, deadlines and reminders in clear view while blending into a domestic room rather than standing out like a piece of office kit. |
Looking for a Smaller Grey Board?
If the wall would be better served by something smaller, the Eco-Friendly Grey Felt Noticeboard with Wood Effect Frame 1200mm x 1200mm gives the same grey felt and recycled wood-effect frame as a 1200mm x 1200mm square. Green, blue and red are offered alongside grey. Order with free UK mainland delivery.

NB1843GR is an Eco-Friendly Grey Felt Noticeboard with Wood Effect Frame from Displaysense. Built entirely from recycled materials, a large open felt noticeboard with a light wood-effect recycled frame and a neutral grey pin surface that takes drawing pins across a wide face. Dimensions 1500mm x 1200mm. Weight 4kg. Recycled grey felt accepting pins, a light wood-effect recycled frame, portrait or landscape mounting, wall fixings included and a two year guarantee, made in the UK. Used by schools and classrooms, staffrooms, shared and open-plan offices, community and public buildings, reception and waiting areas and home offices across the UK as a large, neutral, low-impact noticeboard that keeps a busy, full board readable. Also available in green, blue and red, in sizes from 900mm x 600mm up to 2400mm x 1200mm, and in a combination version with a whiteboard panel. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK delivery.
The real test of a large noticeboard is how it looks once it is full. Empty, almost any board will do, but a wide board in a busy office or school spends most of its life carrying dozens of notices at once, and that is where the colour underneath begins to matter. A neutral grey lets a crowded surface stay legible, holding the eye on the content rather than on a loud background fighting it for attention. The more a board has to hold, the more a calm colour matters, because there is that much more content for it to keep in order. It is the difference between a busy board that still reads clearly and one that simply looks cluttered.
Size is the other half of the job. A generous felt face gives several people room to post at once, so a rota, a notice and a reminder can each sit in their own space rather than competing for a small board. In a shared room that means the board rarely runs out of space mid-week, and nothing useful has to come down early to make way for something new. That headroom is easy to underrate until the moment a board is full and one more thing still has to go up somewhere. Grouped into rough zones, a wide board keeps even a heavy load of paper findable rather than buried.
None of that scale comes at an environmental price. What goes into the felt and the wood-effect frame is recycled material throughout, not new plastic and aluminium, so even a board sized for a busy wall keeps a light footprint. For a school or workplace trying to make greener choices, a fitting that backs up those values rather than working against them is worth having. On a board seen every day by staff, pupils or visitors, having the materials match the message is no small thing, and a board of this width puts a real amount of recycled content to use.
Installation only takes one person despite the size, since the board stays light and the wall fixings come supplied. It hangs landscape for a wide wall or portrait for an upright one, with no lock or door to fit around. Drawing pins press into the felt anywhere across the face and lift back out cleanly, so a board reorganised often keeps a tidy look even after months of swapping notices in and out. It is made in Britain, the guarantee runs two years and returns stay open for 28 days, so a large board for a busy space is a low-risk addition that lifts off again as easily as it went up if the room is rearranged.
What Ships with This Noticeboard
- 1 x recycled grey felt noticeboard with light wood-effect frame
- 1 x set of wall fixings for portrait or landscape installation
Need to Write as Well as Pin?

It is the wide grey board in the recycled felt range, open-faced, with a neutral pin surface, a light wood-effect edge, fixings supplied and two years of cover, all UK-made. Every row ties a fact to what it gives a busy shared wall, so there is nothing to puzzle out before ordering.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Colour / Finish | Neutral grey felt | Grey sits back behind whatever is pinned to it, so a crowded board reads as organised rather than busy, and the surface suits almost any room without clashing. |
| Board Size | 1500mm x 1200mm | A wide face gives room for several people to post at once, which suits a shared wall far better than a small board that fills and overflows within days. |
| Weight | 4kg | Light for its width, the board can be lifted and held by one person while fitting, so hanging a large noticeboard needs no help and no special equipment. |
| Surface | Recycled grey felt, takes pins | Drawing pins push in and pull out anywhere across the felt, and the weave recovers as they move, keeping a board that changes daily looking even and unworn. |
| Frame | Light wood-effect, recycled material | A pale wood-look edge frames the grey softly, giving a large board a warm, finished look instead of the hard outline of a plain office board. |
| Construction | 100% recycled materials | Nothing in the board is newly made plastic or metal, the whole of it coming from recycled stock, which is how a fitting this wide stays kind to a sustainability report. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Fixings suit either a wide landscape run or an upright portrait fit, so the board matches a long corridor or a narrower wall with no extra parts to buy. |
| Fixings | Wall fixings included | All the parts to hang it sit in the box from day one, which means no waiting on a separate order of brackets and no trip to the shops before fitting. |
| Installation | One-person fit | A light board and supplied fixings keep fitting a solo task, and with no door or lock there is nothing to align beyond getting the board level. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | A board facing constant pinning is backed for two years, so the heavy wear of a busy wall is covered from the day it first goes up. |
| Made In | United Kingdom | Because it is designed and built here, support and any replacement sit close to hand for a UK buyer, not on a slow boat from overseas. |
| Returns | 28-day returns | Ordering a large board sight unseen is less of a gamble when there is the best part of a month to return it should the size or shade miss the mark. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Large Eco-Friendly Grey Noticeboard
Q: What is the best large noticeboard for a busy staffroom or classroom?
A: The best large noticeboard for a busy staffroom or classroom is the NB1843GR, a fully recycled grey felt board on a wood-effect frame at 1500mm x 1200mm. Its wide pin surface holds a heavy load of notices while the neutral grey keeps them readable. One person can hang it portrait or landscape, and it is British-made with a two year guarantee.
Q: Is a recycled felt noticeboard genuinely eco-friendly?
A: Yes. Felt and frame alike are recycled stock, never virgin plastic or metal, and that is where the eco credentials come from. Nothing about it is token, the recycling running through the whole board, frame as well as felt, so even a large fitting keeps its impact genuinely low.
Q: What is this grey noticeboard made from?
A: Recycled grey felt over a recycled wood-effect frame makes up the board, with no new plastic or aluminium in it. Sticking to recycled material is what keeps the footprint low, while the felt stays firm enough to grip pins across a wide face. It is put together in the UK and comes with two years of cover.
Q: Should I choose this or the smaller NB1842GY square?
A: The NB1843GR and the NB1842GY share the same recycled grey felt, wood-effect frame and pin surface, differing only in size, 1500mm x 1200mm here against a 1200mm x 1200mm square. Choose the larger board for a busy shared wall that fills fast, or the square when the wall is smaller or the load is lighter.
Q: Is this noticeboard suitable for a school or shared office?
A: Yes. A school or shared office is exactly where this board fits, the wide grey surface carrying a busy mix of notices for several users while staying readable. At 4kg it hangs easily either way up, and the neutral colour blends into a classroom or an open-plan room alike.
Q: Does this grey noticeboard take pins, and how big is the surface?
A: The grey felt takes drawing pins anywhere across a wide 1500mm by 1200mm face, and the weave closes over old holes as notices move. That large surface lets several people post at once, which is why it suits a shared wall where a smaller board would fill and overflow.
Q: What size and weight is this grey noticeboard?
A: The board measures 1500mm by 1200mm and weighs 4kg, with a wide recycled grey felt face for pinning set in a light wood-effect frame. It mounts portrait or landscape on the supplied fixings, the neutral grey chosen to keep a full, busy board easy to read rather than cluttered.
Q: How do I know if I need the full 1500mm width?
A: Go by how busy the wall is. A heavily used shared board that several people post to suits the full width, while a quieter wall or a single user is well served by a smaller size. The wider face mainly buys room, so a board that is always full is where it earns its place.
Q: Will the felt cope with constant pinning?
A: It copes well. Pins push in and lift out across the grey felt all day, and the weave recovers so old holes do not show, keeping a constantly changed board tidy. A two year guarantee and 28-day returns sit behind it, so heavy daily use is already accounted for.
Q: How is a large noticeboard fixed to a wall?
A: Fitting takes one person. The wall fixings come supplied, the board is light for its width, and it hangs landscape or portrait with no lock or door to work around. Once it is up, drawing pins go into the grey felt anywhere across the face, with no tools needed for day-to-day use.
Q: What sizes and colours does this noticeboard come in?
A: Four recycled felt colours are made, with grey joined by green, blue and red. This 1500mm x 1200mm sits in a range of sizes, from smaller boards up to wider ones, and a combination version pairs the felt with a whiteboard panel for walls that need writing space as well as pinning room.
Q: Does this noticeboard come with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Being UK-made, it ships free to the mainland with no surcharge for the larger size. Schools, offices and public buildings have bought display products from Displaysense since 1978, and every order is backed by a UK team and 28-day returns.

A: Go by how busy the wall is. A heavily used shared board that several people post to suits the full width, while a quieter wall or a single user is well served by a smaller size. The wider face mainly buys room, so a board that is always full is where it earns its place.
Q: Will the felt cope with constant pinning?
A: It copes well. Pins push in and lift out across the grey felt all day, and the weave recovers so old holes do not show, keeping a constantly changed board tidy. A two year guarantee and 28-day returns sit behind it, so heavy daily use is already accounted for.
Q: How is a large noticeboard fixed to a wall?
A: Fitting takes one person. The wall fixings come supplied, the board is light for its width, and it hangs landscape or portrait with no lock or door to work around. Once it is up, drawing pins go into the grey felt anywhere across the face, with no tools needed for day-to-day use.
Q: What sizes and colours does this noticeboard come in?
A: Four recycled felt colours are made, with grey joined by green, blue and red. This 1500mm x 1200mm sits in a range of sizes, from smaller boards up to wider ones, and a combination version pairs the felt with a whiteboard panel for walls that need writing space as well as pinning room.
Q: Does this noticeboard come with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Being UK-made, it ships free to the mainland with no surcharge for the larger size. Schools, offices and public buildings have bought display products from Displaysense since 1978, and every order is backed by a UK team and 28-day returns.
