Fill a Large Corridor Wall With One Fire Retardant Blue Pin Board

A big empty wall in a high-traffic hallway is a chance to say a lot at once, and this wide blue board turns that bare space into a single place for evacuation plans, policies and daily notices that a whole stream of people can read on the way past. The felt and frame were fire-tested together as one bonded board, so a whole wall packed with paper still meets the fire rules a shared building has to keep. Rounded safety corners and a slim satin silver surround finish the board off neatly. This noticeboard is sold only through Displaysense. Best suited to schools, hospitals and university buildings where a long wall carries a great deal of shared information and still has to pass its fire rules.

Why This Blue Information Board Is Fire-Tested as One Whole Unit

  • Room for a whole wall of information: A very wide surface lets evacuation plans, policies, timetables and daily notices sit side by side in a single spot, so people crossing a long hallway take in a great deal at one glance without pausing at several smaller boards dotted along the way.
  • Fire-tested as one finished board: Instead of just the separate materials, the felt and aluminium were bonded and then tested together, passing recognised fire marks so a large paper-covered board can go up in a corridor or stairwell and keep a public building on the right side of its fire rules.
  • Holds pins and Velcro-backed items: The smooth blue felt grips a drawing pin firmly and takes hook-and-loop (Velcro) backing just as well, so laminated evacuation plans, printed policies and lighter day-to-day notices all stay put and swap over cleanly when something changes.
  • Rounded safety corners: Every corner on the aluminium surround comes curved instead of left square, a safer edge for a large board set along a route people use every day, and the corner screws stay tucked behind the frame out of sight.
  • Satin silver anodised frame: A slim anodised aluminium surround holds the wide felt flat and square, giving a hallway or lobby a clean, finished edge that wipes down easily and stands up to the knocks and scuffs of a high-traffic shared space.
  • Wall-mounted in landscape: The board is made to hang the wide way, with a support bar across its width and the fixings supplied, so two people can line it up level along a corridor wall and leave it sitting flat and secure.

Where a Large Aluminium-Framed Blue Board Suits High-Traffic Buildings

Schools and AcademiesLong corridor walls and hall entrances carry safeguarding notices, timetables and house news on a wide blue board, the large surface holding a full display where crowds of pupils stream past while the bonded fire testing keeps a paper-heavy wall well inside school fire rules.
Hospitals and NHS SitesDepartment corridors and waiting areas put evacuation plans, staff updates and patient guidance on a large blue board, the roomy felt gathering a great deal of guidance in one clear place while the whole-board fire result suits a route patients and staff use every day.
Universities and CollegesFaculty corridors, libraries and student hubs run a wide blue board for course notices, deadlines and welfare information, the big horizontal format giving busy departments room to post a great deal at once inside the fire rules a campus works to.
Councils and Public BuildingsCivic offices, libraries and leisure centres post schedules, legal updates and public notices on a large blue board, the broad surface suiting a high-footfall setting while the tested felt keeps a crowded wall well on the safe side of the fire rules.
Offices and LobbiesReception walls and staff corridors use a wide blue board for policies, health-and-safety notices and team information, the generous span covering a big lobby wall while the bonded fire testing keeps a busy display within the rules a workplace has to follow.
Facilities and ComplianceCaretakers, facilities managers and compliance officers rely on a large blue board to show legal updates, safeguarding guidance and fire-action steps in one clear spot, the wide felt keeping an entire building's notices together in one spot and correctly fire-rated.

Need a Smaller Blue Board?

Should a full-width board be more wall than a space can take, the same blue fire retardant felt also comes in a narrower width too. Browse the narrower blue fire retardant noticeboard for a shorter run of wall, sent out on free UK mainland delivery.

NB4824B is a Fire Retardant Blue Felt Aluminium Framed Noticeboard from Displaysense. It is the largest board in the blue felt line, a wide landscape panel for long corridors and big public walls. Felt and frame were bonded and fire-tested together as one finished board to BS 476 Class 0 and EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1, d0. Height 1200mm, width 2400mm. Weight 38.25kg. The blue felt holds both drawing pins and hook-and-loop (Velcro) backed items, framed in satin silver anodised aluminium with rounded safety corners and a support bar across the width. It mounts to the wall in landscape only and has no lock or glazed door. Suited to schools, hospitals, universities, councils and office lobbies displaying evacuation plans, policies and safeguarding notices in busy public buildings. Sold only through Displaysense, with smaller widths available in the same blue felt board. Displaysense, UK display specialist since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.

A long stretch of corridor wall in a school, a hospital or a campus building often sits bare when it could be carrying an entire building's worth of notices, and this wide blue board is made to fill exactly that kind of space. Hung the wide way, the board gives evacuation plans, policies and daily updates room to sit together where a steady flow of people reads them on the move. The generous horizontal shape, filling a wall others leave bare, is the point of a board this big.

Fire testing on this board covers the finished product, not just the raw felt. The felt and the aluminium were bonded into one panel and then put through recognised fire checks together, earning the marks BS 476 Class 0 and EN 13501-1:2002 in the Class B-s1, d0 band. For a large board loaded with paper in a hallway or stairwell, that whole-board result, covering the finished panel and not just its parts, is what a fire officer looks for before the board goes on the wall.

Pushed into the smooth blue felt, a drawing pin holds firm, and the same surface grips hook-and-loop (Velcro) backing just as securely, so a laminated evacuation plan and a printed policy can share the board and each come away cleanly. Good pin retention across a broad face keeps a heavy display flat and readable, which matters a great deal when the board is being read from a distance down a long, well-used hallway.

Weighing a fair amount at this size, the board is built to hang the wide way with a support bar running across the back for rigidity, and two people line it up level along the wall using the fixings supplied. Curved safety corners take the sharp points off the satin silver aluminium frame, there is no lock or glazed door to work around, it serves indoor walls only, and it is sold only through Displaysense. Smaller widths of the same blue felt board are available, with free UK mainland delivery and a 28-day returns window.

What Comes in the Box

  • 1 x fire retardant blue felt noticeboard in a satin silver anodised aluminium frame with rounded corners and a width support bar
  • 1 x wall mounting kit with fixings for landscape installation

Prefer a Board You Can Hang Either Way?

This full-width board hangs in landscape only, so for a spot where portrait or landscape both need to work, the same blue felt comes in a smaller size that mounts either way round. The wide board suits a long open wall, while a smaller one fits a tighter or taller gap. Our team is happy to help you choose.

Questions About This Large Fire Retardant Blue Noticeboard

What is the best large noticeboard for a school, hospital or university corridor?
The best large noticeboard for a school, hospital or university corridor is the NB4824B, a wide blue felt board of 2400mm by 1200mm fire-tested as one bonded unit to BS 476 Class 0 and EN 13501-1:2002. The full-width surface holds a whole building's notices, and rounded safety corners suit a route people walk every day.
What does fire-testing the board as one unit mean?
The felt and the aluminium frame were bonded into a single panel and then fire-tested together, rather than the parts being rated on their own. This large blue notice board earned BS 476 Class 0 and EN 13501-1:2002 (B-s1, d0) as a finished product, which is the result a fire officer looks for on a busy public route.
Can the blue felt take Velcro as well as pins?
Yes. The smooth blue felt on this wide bulletin board grips a drawing pin firmly and also holds hook-and-loop (Velcro) backing, so a laminated evacuation plan and a lightweight printed notice can share the same board. Both come away cleanly, which makes swapping a large display over quick and tidy.
Which way does this large board hang?
This full-width fire retardant noticeboard is made to hang in landscape only. The extra span and a support bar across the back mean the board is made for a wide, horizontal run of wall rather than an upright fit, so this large noticeboard suits a long corridor or a broad lobby better than a narrow space.
How much can a board this size hold?
At 2400mm by 1200mm, this large blue display board sets out a whole building's worth of evacuation plans, policies, timetables and notices in one place. A wide face means people take in a great deal at a glance and staff post everything on a single wall instead of spreading notices across several smaller boards.
Is the blue noticeboard suitable for a busy public building?
Yes. A wide fire-rated blue board is well suited to high-footfall corridors, waiting areas and lobbies in schools, hospitals, universities and council buildings. The whole-board fire testing keeps a crowded display safe on a public route, and the roomy felt keeps a lot of important information together and easy to find.
Are the corners safe on a board this large?
Yes. The corners of this large blue information board are rounded rather than square, which is safer on a big board mounted along a route people pass every day. The screw at each corner sits behind the aluminium frame, so the outline stays smooth and nothing sharp is left within reach in a busy space.
Does one person need help to put the board up?
Given the size and weight, a two-person lift is the safe way to mount this large blue wall board. One person holds the board level along the corridor while the second drives the supplied fixings, and the fixings you choose should match the wall, whether solid brick, plasterboard or a stud partition.
Is this large noticeboard suitable for outdoor use?
No. This wide blue felt board is built for dry indoor walls in schools, hospitals, campuses and offices. Felt pulls in moisture and warps as soon as rain or weather reaches the surface, so an outdoor spot calls for a sealed weatherproof case, and an open felt board like this one is not designed for that.
How is this different from the narrower blue board?
The felt, the fire rating and the frame match across the blue line, and size is the split. This full-width board fills a long corridor or a broad lobby and holds the most paper, whereas the narrower NB4818BL fits a standard wall with less to show. Take the large board for a sweeping display and the shorter one for a tighter run.
How does the large board arrive and go up?
The large board reaches you already built into its satin silver aluminium frame, boxed with a landscape mounting kit and the width support bar in place. Two people line the board up level and fix the panel to the wall using fixings suited to the surface. Free UK mainland delivery and a 28-day returns window both apply.
Is this fire retardant blue noticeboard exclusive to Displaysense?
Yes. This large fire retardant blue felt noticeboard is sold only through Displaysense and is not stocked elsewhere. The same blue felt board comes in smaller widths as well, all with free UK mainland delivery and a 28-day returns window, so a whole line of matching boards can be ordered from one place.

Getting the Most From a Large Corridor Board

A wide board works well only when the wall behind it is put to good use, and a long, busy corridor is where that matters most of all. These Displaysense guides look at fitting large boards along school corridors, why fire-rated felt is needed in shared public buildings, running clear safeguarding displays that people actually stop and read, and keeping student and staff notice areas properly well informed all year round.

Fill a Large Corridor Wall With One Fire Retardant Blue Pin Board

A big empty wall in a high-traffic hallway is a chance to say a lot at once, and this wide blue board turns that bare space into a single place for evacuation plans, policies and daily notices that a whole stream of people can read on the way past. The felt and frame were fire-tested together as one bonded board, so a whole wall packed with paper still meets the fire rules a shared building has to keep. Rounded safety corners and a slim satin silver surround finish the board off neatly. This noticeboard is sold only through Displaysense. Best suited to schools, hospitals and university buildings where a long wall carries a great deal of shared information and still has to pass its fire rules.

Why This Blue Information Board Is Fire-Tested as One Whole Unit

  • Room for a whole wall of information: A very wide surface lets evacuation plans, policies, timetables and daily notices sit side by side in a single spot, so people crossing a long hallway take in a great deal at one glance without pausing at several smaller boards dotted along the way.
  • Fire-tested as one finished board: Instead of just the separate materials, the felt and aluminium were bonded and then tested together, passing recognised fire marks so a large paper-covered board can go up in a corridor or stairwell and keep a public building on the right side of its fire rules.
  • Holds pins and Velcro-backed items: The smooth blue felt grips a drawing pin firmly and takes hook-and-loop (Velcro) backing just as well, so laminated evacuation plans, printed policies and lighter day-to-day notices all stay put and swap over cleanly when something changes.
  • Rounded safety corners: Every corner on the aluminium surround comes curved instead of left square, a safer edge for a large board set along a route people use every day, and the corner screws stay tucked behind the frame out of sight.
  • Satin silver anodised frame: A slim anodised aluminium surround holds the wide felt flat and square, giving a hallway or lobby a clean, finished edge that wipes down easily and stands up to the knocks and scuffs of a high-traffic shared space.
  • Wall-mounted in landscape: The board is made to hang the wide way, with a support bar across its width and the fixings supplied, so two people can line it up level along a corridor wall and leave it sitting flat and secure.

Where a Large Aluminium-Framed Blue Board Suits High-Traffic Buildings

Schools and AcademiesLong corridor walls and hall entrances carry safeguarding notices, timetables and house news on a wide blue board, the large surface holding a full display where crowds of pupils stream past while the bonded fire testing keeps a paper-heavy wall well inside school fire rules.
Hospitals and NHS SitesDepartment corridors and waiting areas put evacuation plans, staff updates and patient guidance on a large blue board, the roomy felt gathering a great deal of guidance in one clear place while the whole-board fire result suits a route patients and staff use every day.
Universities and CollegesFaculty corridors, libraries and student hubs run a wide blue board for course notices, deadlines and welfare information, the big horizontal format giving busy departments room to post a great deal at once inside the fire rules a campus works to.
Councils and Public BuildingsCivic offices, libraries and leisure centres post schedules, legal updates and public notices on a large blue board, the broad surface suiting a high-footfall setting while the tested felt keeps a crowded wall well on the safe side of the fire rules.
Offices and LobbiesReception walls and staff corridors use a wide blue board for policies, health-and-safety notices and team information, the generous span covering a big lobby wall while the bonded fire testing keeps a busy display within the rules a workplace has to follow.
Facilities and ComplianceCaretakers, facilities managers and compliance officers rely on a large blue board to show legal updates, safeguarding guidance and fire-action steps in one clear spot, the wide felt keeping an entire building's notices together in one spot and correctly fire-rated.

Need a Smaller Blue Board?

Should a full-width board be more wall than a space can take, the same blue fire retardant felt also comes in a narrower width too. Browse the narrower blue fire retardant noticeboard for a shorter run of wall, sent out on free UK mainland delivery.

NB4824B is a Fire Retardant Blue Felt Aluminium Framed Noticeboard from Displaysense. It is the largest board in the blue felt line, a wide landscape panel for long corridors and big public walls. Felt and frame were bonded and fire-tested together as one finished board to BS 476 Class 0 and EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1, d0. Height 1200mm, width 2400mm. Weight 38.25kg. The blue felt holds both drawing pins and hook-and-loop (Velcro) backed items, framed in satin silver anodised aluminium with rounded safety corners and a support bar across the width. It mounts to the wall in landscape only and has no lock or glazed door. Suited to schools, hospitals, universities, councils and office lobbies displaying evacuation plans, policies and safeguarding notices in busy public buildings. Sold only through Displaysense, with smaller widths available in the same blue felt board. Displaysense, UK display specialist since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.

A long stretch of corridor wall in a school, a hospital or a campus building often sits bare when it could be carrying an entire building's worth of notices, and this wide blue board is made to fill exactly that kind of space. Hung the wide way, the board gives evacuation plans, policies and daily updates room to sit together where a steady flow of people reads them on the move. The generous horizontal shape, filling a wall others leave bare, is the point of a board this big.

Fire testing on this board covers the finished product, not just the raw felt. The felt and the aluminium were bonded into one panel and then put through recognised fire checks together, earning the marks BS 476 Class 0 and EN 13501-1:2002 in the Class B-s1, d0 band. For a large board loaded with paper in a hallway or stairwell, that whole-board result, covering the finished panel and not just its parts, is what a fire officer looks for before the board goes on the wall.

Pushed into the smooth blue felt, a drawing pin holds firm, and the same surface grips hook-and-loop (Velcro) backing just as securely, so a laminated evacuation plan and a printed policy can share the board and each come away cleanly. Good pin retention across a broad face keeps a heavy display flat and readable, which matters a great deal when the board is being read from a distance down a long, well-used hallway.

Weighing a fair amount at this size, the board is built to hang the wide way with a support bar running across the back for rigidity, and two people line it up level along the wall using the fixings supplied. Curved safety corners take the sharp points off the satin silver aluminium frame, there is no lock or glazed door to work around, it serves indoor walls only, and it is sold only through Displaysense. Smaller widths of the same blue felt board are available, with free UK mainland delivery and a 28-day returns window.

What Comes in the Box

  • 1 x fire retardant blue felt noticeboard in a satin silver anodised aluminium frame with rounded corners and a width support bar
  • 1 x wall mounting kit with fixings for landscape installation

Prefer a Board You Can Hang Either Way?

This full-width board hangs in landscape only, so for a spot where portrait or landscape both need to work, the same blue felt comes in a smaller size that mounts either way round. The wide board suits a long open wall, while a smaller one fits a tighter or taller gap. Our team is happy to help you choose.

Questions About This Large Fire Retardant Blue Noticeboard

What is the best large noticeboard for a school, hospital or university corridor?
The best large noticeboard for a school, hospital or university corridor is the NB4824B, a wide blue felt board of 2400mm by 1200mm fire-tested as one bonded unit to BS 476 Class 0 and EN 13501-1:2002. The full-width surface holds a whole building's notices, and rounded safety corners suit a route people walk every day.
What does fire-testing the board as one unit mean?
The felt and the aluminium frame were bonded into a single panel and then fire-tested together, rather than the parts being rated on their own. This large blue notice board earned BS 476 Class 0 and EN 13501-1:2002 (B-s1, d0) as a finished product, which is the result a fire officer looks for on a busy public route.
Can the blue felt take Velcro as well as pins?
Yes. The smooth blue felt on this wide bulletin board grips a drawing pin firmly and also holds hook-and-loop (Velcro) backing, so a laminated evacuation plan and a lightweight printed notice can share the same board. Both come away cleanly, which makes swapping a large display over quick and tidy.
Which way does this large board hang?
This full-width fire retardant noticeboard is made to hang in landscape only. The extra span and a support bar across the back mean the board is made for a wide, horizontal run of wall rather than an upright fit, so this large noticeboard suits a long corridor or a broad lobby better than a narrow space.
How much can a board this size hold?
At 2400mm by 1200mm, this large blue display board sets out a whole building's worth of evacuation plans, policies, timetables and notices in one place. A wide face means people take in a great deal at a glance and staff post everything on a single wall instead of spreading notices across several smaller boards.
Is the blue noticeboard suitable for a busy public building?
Yes. A wide fire-rated blue board is well suited to high-footfall corridors, waiting areas and lobbies in schools, hospitals, universities and council buildings. The whole-board fire testing keeps a crowded display safe on a public route, and the roomy felt keeps a lot of important information together and easy to find.
Are the corners safe on a board this large?
Yes. The corners of this large blue information board are rounded rather than square, which is safer on a big board mounted along a route people pass every day. The screw at each corner sits behind the aluminium frame, so the outline stays smooth and nothing sharp is left within reach in a busy space.
Does one person need help to put the board up?
Given the size and weight, a two-person lift is the safe way to mount this large blue wall board. One person holds the board level along the corridor while the second drives the supplied fixings, and the fixings you choose should match the wall, whether solid brick, plasterboard or a stud partition.
Is this large noticeboard suitable for outdoor use?
No. This wide blue felt board is built for dry indoor walls in schools, hospitals, campuses and offices. Felt pulls in moisture and warps as soon as rain or weather reaches the surface, so an outdoor spot calls for a sealed weatherproof case, and an open felt board like this one is not designed for that.
How is this different from the narrower blue board?
The felt, the fire rating and the frame match across the blue line, and size is the split. This full-width board fills a long corridor or a broad lobby and holds the most paper, whereas the narrower NB4818BL fits a standard wall with less to show. Take the large board for a sweeping display and the shorter one for a tighter run.
How does the large board arrive and go up?
The large board reaches you already built into its satin silver aluminium frame, boxed with a landscape mounting kit and the width support bar in place. Two people line the board up level and fix the panel to the wall using fixings suited to the surface. Free UK mainland delivery and a 28-day returns window both apply.
Is this fire retardant blue noticeboard exclusive to Displaysense?
Yes. This large fire retardant blue felt noticeboard is sold only through Displaysense and is not stocked elsewhere. The same blue felt board comes in smaller widths as well, all with free UK mainland delivery and a 28-day returns window, so a whole line of matching boards can be ordered from one place.

Getting the Most From a Large Corridor Board

A wide board works well only when the wall behind it is put to good use, and a long, busy corridor is where that matters most of all. These Displaysense guides look at fitting large boards along school corridors, why fire-rated felt is needed in shared public buildings, running clear safeguarding displays that people actually stop and read, and keeping student and staff notice areas properly well informed all year round.
