When the Whole Hall Has to See It First
The biggest board in the range earns its place when a message cannot afford to be missed by anyone in a packed room. The NB1863RD pairs the widest format available with a bold red felt pin surface, so a safety procedure, an exam timetable or an urgent notice reads from the back of a hall and pulls the eye the moment someone walks in. Alongside the red felt sits a full-size dry-wipe panel for the announcements and updates that change by the day, giving one very large board both a place to pin priority information and a place to write. Its scale means each half has room for several items at once, so a busy public space is never forced to trade off sheer size against sheer visibility. Neither surface is magnetic; the felt is for pins and the panel for dry-wipe markers, and the pair are held in a strong wood-effect frame on a sustainably sourced core, a greener choice at the size where it counts most. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee covers it. Best suited for school halls, lecture theatres and NHS waiting areas where critical information has to be seen first and read clearly across a crowded room.
Why the Largest Red Board Does More Than One Job
- First seen, then read: The bold red felt grabs attention the instant a room is entered, and the full width then keeps the message legible to the very back. A critical notice is noticed and understood at once, rather than blending into a wall of routine paper.
- Scale for a packed room: The expansive felt pin half and the full-size dry-wipe panel each hold a great deal, so a hall or a waiting area can keep multiple notices and live updates in view together without anything being squeezed off the board.
- Felt that takes heavy traffic: The pin surface is made for the constant pinning a public board faces, accepting pins again and again while holding its grip and its colour, so a high-use board stays secure and vivid through frequent changes across the week.
- A greener board at full size: The wood-effect frame is built around a sustainably sourced core, so dressing a very large wall does not have to carry a heavier environmental cost. Buying responsibly weighs more heavily, not less, the larger the board becomes.
- Pinning and writing, no magnets: Both surfaces are non-magnetic, intended for pins on the felt and markers on the panel rather than magnets. For a large public board that must flag fixed notices and carry changing ones, that pairing is exactly right.
- Solid and guaranteed: This is a heavy, solidly made board, sized and weighted to stay stable on the wall, and a two-year manufacturer's guarantee backs it through the constant daily demands of a school, a campus or a hospital.
Where This Extra-Large Red Combination Board Fits Best
| School Halls | A whole-school audience has to take in safeguarding information and exam timetables at a glance, which a board at this scale and colour delivers. Key notices stay pinned on the red felt while the dry-wipe panel carries the schedules that change between events. |
| Lecture Theatres | A full theatre needs a display that flags what matters and reaches the back row. The bold red felt lifts urgent course and event notices above the routine, and the full-size panel leaves a lecturer plenty of space to develop a topic without running out partway through. |
| Universities and Campuses | Event promotion, research notices and faculty updates compete for attention on a busy campus. The large red felt makes the priority items impossible to overlook, while the dry-wipe half handles the planning and announcements that shift week to week. |
| NHS Wards and Reception | Critical patient information, health campaigns and visitor guidance must stand out in a crowded clinical area. A large red pin surface puts the essential notices front and centre, and the dry-wipe panel takes the fast updates a busy reception relies on. |
| Waiting and Public Areas | A large waiting area needs one board that draws the eye and informs at the same time. Pinning the key message to the bold red felt does that at scale, while routine information sits around it on the felt and the writable panel without losing the headline. |
| Eco-Minded Organisations | For a buyer fitting out large public spaces with sustainability in mind, a board at this scale resting on a sustainably sourced core answers that brief while still delivering its high-visibility display. It makes a greener choice at scale without dulling the board's main strength. |

The Displaysense NB1863RD is an Eco-Friendly Combination Red Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. The largest dual-surface board in the range, pairing an expansive high-visibility red felt pinboard with a full-size dry-wipe whiteboard panel in one wood-effect frame, with a sustainably sourced core. Dimensions 2400mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 23kg. Both surfaces non-magnetic, red felt for pinning and a dry-wipe panel for writing, landscape orientation, two-year manufacturer's guarantee. Best suited for school halls, lecture theatres, universities, NHS wards and waiting areas where urgent notices must stand out. Also available in a smaller 1800mm size such as the NB1862RD and in other felt colours such as the blue NB1863BL. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
This board solves a visibility problem that smaller boards cannot. In a school hall or a hospital reception, the people who need a notice are spread right across the room, and a standard board only serves those near it. A 2400mm span keeps the same information legible to everyone present, while the bold red felt makes the priority message register the moment a person looks up. Pairing the widest format with the most attention-grabbing colour means the notice that matters most is both seen first and read clearly from a distance, which is precisely what a busy public space needs.
The red felt half is a pin surface built for high traffic and high volume. Its width lets many notices, posters and printed sheets sit together without crowding, and the felt is woven to accept pins time after time while keeping its hold and resisting fading, so a vivid display stays vivid. Because it works by pinning rather than by magnet, it suits the safety notices, campaigns and timetables that have to stay precisely in place. This half carries the standing and priority material that goes up and remains on show across a stretch of time.
The dry-wipe half keeps pace with whatever changes through the day. Markers run cleanly across it and lift away with an eraser, so the panel can be wiped and rewritten as often as a busy area demands without leaving a shadow behind. As with the felt, this surface holds no magnetic charge; it is built for writing rather than for magnets, which keeps a board of this scale as simple to live with as a far smaller one. Setting the two halves together lets a large room hold its fixed, urgent notices apart from its changing updates on one shared wall.
A board this large has to be built to match, and this one is. Its considerable weight reflects a solid construction that stays flat and true across the full span rather than bowing, and a strong wood-effect frame edges and protects it. The core is sustainably sourced, so even at this size the board supports a more responsible purchase. Owing to its scale and weight it is a fixed installation that two people should mount onto a sound wall. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee then covers it against the daily demands of the schools, universities and hospitals it serves.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Extra-Large Red Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for making notices stand out in a large hall?
A: An extra-large red combination board, like the NB1863RD, suits that need. At 2400 by 1200mm it is the widest board in the range, and the bold red felt draws the eye straight to priority notices, with a full-size dry-wipe panel alongside for updates. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, eco-built, and guaranteed for two years.
Q: Will the board be readable from across a large hall?
A: Yes. The 2400mm width is the widest in the range, and the bright red felt adds visibility on top, so notices read clearly from across a school hall, a lecture theatre or a hospital waiting area. That combination of reach and contrast is the main reason to pick this size and colour for a genuinely big space.
Q: How big is the board, and how heavy is it?
A: The board measures 2400mm by 1200mm and weighs 23kg. The size gives the red felt and the dry-wipe halves room to be read across a large room, and the weight reflects a solid, stable build, so two people are needed to lift the board and mount it securely on a sound wall.
Q: Why choose red felt for a public board?
A: Warm, saturated colours like red are picked up by the eye more quickly than muted tones, which is why hazard and priority signage leans on them. On a large board in a packed hall or reception, whatever sits on the red felt gets clocked sooner, so the critical items are less likely to be missed.
Q: Can the board hold both permanent and changeable information?
A: Yes. The red felt half secures fixed notices such as safety procedures and timetables with pins, while the dry-wipe half is written on for updates that change through the day. Keeping both kinds on one large board lets a busy public space hold its standing and its changing information together in a single place.
Q: Is the board magnetic?
A: No, neither surface is magnetic. Notices go onto the red felt with pins or tacks, and the dry-wipe half is marked with pens, so there is nothing for a magnet to grip on either side. This board is the right pick when the job is pinning and writing rather than holding things up with magnets.
Q: Will the red colour fade with daily use?
A: No. The felt is made to resist fading, so the red stays bold and vivid even under constant daily use in a bright public area. A high-visibility board only really works while its colour stays strong, so that fade resistance keeps the display doing its job over years of steady service.
Q: How is the board eco-friendly?
A: The board uses a responsibly sourced core set in a wood-effect frame, which helps reduce the environmental impact of the purchase. That makes it a more responsible choice for a large-scale fit-out, without giving up the durability an extra-large, busy board needs.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1862RD?
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 board runs to 2400 by 1200mm where the NB1862RD is 1800 by 1200mm. Go this large for a hall or a reception, or the 1800mm board for a big room.
Q: Does the board suit an NHS or healthcare setting?
A: Yes. The large red felt keeps critical patient information and visitor guidance prominent across a ward, staff room or reception, while the dry-wipe panel carries health campaign updates. The size and colour mean the essential notices read from across a crowded clinical area.
Q: How is the board mounted, given its size?
A: The board is a fixed wall installation supplied with the wall fixings needed to mount it. Because it is 2400mm wide and weighs 23kg, two people should lift and fix it onto a sound, solid wall, which holds a board this large secure and level once it is up.
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.

The NB1863RD pairs the widest format available with a bold red felt pin surface, so a safety procedure, an exam timetable or an urgent notice reads from the back of a hall and pulls the eye the moment someone walks in. Alongside the red felt sits a full-size dry-wipe panel for the announcements and updates that change by the day, giving one very large board both a place to pin priority information and a place to write. Its scale means each half has room for several items at once, so a busy public space is never forced to trade off sheer size against sheer visibility. Neither surface is magnetic; the felt is for pins and the panel for dry-wipe markers, and the pair are held in a strong wood-effect frame on a sustainably sourced core, a greener choice at the size where it counts most. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee covers it. Best suited for school halls, lecture theatres and NHS waiting areas where critical information has to be seen first and read clearly across a crowded room.
Why the Largest Red Board Does More Than One Job
- First seen, then read: The bold red felt grabs attention the instant a room is entered, and the full width then keeps the message legible to the very back. A critical notice is noticed and understood at once, rather than blending into a wall of routine paper.
- Scale for a packed room: The expansive felt pin half and the full-size dry-wipe panel each hold a great deal, so a hall or a waiting area can keep multiple notices and live updates in view together without anything being squeezed off the board.
- Felt that takes heavy traffic: The pin surface is made for the constant pinning a public board faces, accepting pins again and again while holding its grip and its colour, so a high-use board stays secure and vivid through frequent changes across the week.
- A greener board at full size: The wood-effect frame is built around a sustainably sourced core, so dressing a very large wall does not have to carry a heavier environmental cost. Buying responsibly weighs more heavily, not less, the larger the board becomes.
- Pinning and writing, no magnets: Both surfaces are non-magnetic, intended for pins on the felt and markers on the panel rather than magnets. For a large public board that must flag fixed notices and carry changing ones, that pairing is exactly right.
- Solid and guaranteed: This is a heavy, solidly made board, sized and weighted to stay stable on the wall, and a two-year manufacturer's guarantee backs it through the constant daily demands of a school, a campus or a hospital.
Where This Extra-Large Red Combination Board Fits Best
| School Halls | A whole-school audience has to take in safeguarding information and exam timetables at a glance, which a board at this scale and colour delivers. Key notices stay pinned on the red felt while the dry-wipe panel carries the schedules that change between events. |
| Lecture Theatres | A full theatre needs a display that flags what matters and reaches the back row. The bold red felt lifts urgent course and event notices above the routine, and the full-size panel leaves a lecturer plenty of space to develop a topic without running out partway through. |
| Universities and Campuses | Event promotion, research notices and faculty updates compete for attention on a busy campus. The large red felt makes the priority items impossible to overlook, while the dry-wipe half handles the planning and announcements that shift week to week. |
| NHS Wards and Reception | Critical patient information, health campaigns and visitor guidance must stand out in a crowded clinical area. A large red pin surface puts the essential notices front and centre, and the dry-wipe panel takes the fast updates a busy reception relies on. |
| Waiting and Public Areas | A large waiting area needs one board that draws the eye and informs at the same time. Pinning the key message to the bold red felt does that at scale, while routine information sits around it on the felt and the writable panel without losing the headline. |
| Eco-Minded Organisations | For a buyer fitting out large public spaces with sustainability in mind, a board at this scale resting on a sustainably sourced core answers that brief while still delivering its high-visibility display. It makes a greener choice at scale without dulling the board's main strength. |

The Displaysense NB1863RD is an Eco-Friendly Combination Red Felt Noticeboard with Whiteboard. The largest dual-surface board in the range, pairing an expansive high-visibility red felt pinboard with a full-size dry-wipe whiteboard panel in one wood-effect frame, with a sustainably sourced core. Dimensions 2400mm W x 1200mm H. Weight 23kg. Both surfaces non-magnetic, red felt for pinning and a dry-wipe panel for writing, landscape orientation, two-year manufacturer's guarantee. Best suited for school halls, lecture theatres, universities, NHS wards and waiting areas where urgent notices must stand out. Also available in a smaller 1800mm size such as the NB1862RD and in other felt colours such as the blue NB1863BL. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
This board solves a visibility problem that smaller boards cannot. In a school hall or a hospital reception, the people who need a notice are spread right across the room, and a standard board only serves those near it. A 2400mm span keeps the same information legible to everyone present, while the bold red felt makes the priority message register the moment a person looks up. Pairing the widest format with the most attention-grabbing colour means the notice that matters most is both seen first and read clearly from a distance, which is precisely what a busy public space needs.
The red felt half is a pin surface built for high traffic and high volume. Its width lets many notices, posters and printed sheets sit together without crowding, and the felt is woven to accept pins time after time while keeping its hold and resisting fading, so a vivid display stays vivid. Because it works by pinning rather than by magnet, it suits the safety notices, campaigns and timetables that have to stay precisely in place. This half carries the standing and priority material that goes up and remains on show across a stretch of time.
The dry-wipe half keeps pace with whatever changes through the day. Markers run cleanly across it and lift away with an eraser, so the panel can be wiped and rewritten as often as a busy area demands without leaving a shadow behind. As with the felt, this surface holds no magnetic charge; it is built for writing rather than for magnets, which keeps a board of this scale as simple to live with as a far smaller one. Setting the two halves together lets a large room hold its fixed, urgent notices apart from its changing updates on one shared wall.
A board this large has to be built to match, and this one is. Its considerable weight reflects a solid construction that stays flat and true across the full span rather than bowing, and a strong wood-effect frame edges and protects it. The core is sustainably sourced, so even at this size the board supports a more responsible purchase. Owing to its scale and weight it is a fixed installation that two people should mount onto a sound wall. A two-year manufacturer's guarantee then covers it against the daily demands of the schools, universities and hospitals it serves.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Extra-Large Red Combination Noticeboard
Q: What is the best noticeboard for making notices stand out in a large hall?
A: An extra-large red combination board, like the NB1863RD, suits that need. At 2400 by 1200mm it is the widest board in the range, and the bold red felt draws the eye straight to priority notices, with a full-size dry-wipe panel alongside for updates. Both surfaces are non-magnetic, eco-built, and guaranteed for two years.
Q: Will the board be readable from across a large hall?
A: Yes. The 2400mm width is the widest in the range, and the bright red felt adds visibility on top, so notices read clearly from across a school hall, a lecture theatre or a hospital waiting area. That combination of reach and contrast is the main reason to pick this size and colour for a genuinely big space.
Q: How big is the board, and how heavy is it?
A: The board measures 2400mm by 1200mm and weighs 23kg. The size gives the red felt and the dry-wipe halves room to be read across a large room, and the weight reflects a solid, stable build, so two people are needed to lift the board and mount it securely on a sound wall.
Q: Why choose red felt for a public board?
A: Warm, saturated colours like red are picked up by the eye more quickly than muted tones, which is why hazard and priority signage leans on them. On a large board in a packed hall or reception, whatever sits on the red felt gets clocked sooner, so the critical items are less likely to be missed.
Q: Can the board hold both permanent and changeable information?
A: Yes. The red felt half secures fixed notices such as safety procedures and timetables with pins, while the dry-wipe half is written on for updates that change through the day. Keeping both kinds on one large board lets a busy public space hold its standing and its changing information together in a single place.
Q: Is the board magnetic?
A: No, neither surface is magnetic. Notices go onto the red felt with pins or tacks, and the dry-wipe half is marked with pens, so there is nothing for a magnet to grip on either side. This board is the right pick when the job is pinning and writing rather than holding things up with magnets.
Q: Will the red colour fade with daily use?
A: No. The felt is made to resist fading, so the red stays bold and vivid even under constant daily use in a bright public area. A high-visibility board only really works while its colour stays strong, so that fade resistance keeps the display doing its job over years of steady service.
Q: How is the board eco-friendly?
A: The board uses a responsibly sourced core set in a wood-effect frame, which helps reduce the environmental impact of the purchase. That makes it a more responsible choice for a large-scale fit-out, without giving up the durability an extra-large, busy board needs.
Q: What is the difference between this and the NB1862RD?
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 board runs to 2400 by 1200mm where the NB1862RD is 1800 by 1200mm. Go this large for a hall or a reception, or the 1800mm board for a big room.
Q: Does the board suit an NHS or healthcare setting?
A: Yes. The large red felt keeps critical patient information and visitor guidance prominent across a ward, staff room or reception, while the dry-wipe panel carries health campaign updates. The size and colour mean the essential notices read from across a crowded clinical area.
Q: How is the board mounted, given its size?
A: The board is a fixed wall installation supplied with the wall fixings needed to mount it. Because it is 2400mm wide and weighs 23kg, two people should lift and fix it onto a sound, solid wall, which holds a board this large secure and level once it is up.
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.
