A Red Fire Retardant Noticeboard That Makes Urgent Notices Impossible to Miss
Bright red draws the eye, and on a fire-safe felt board that strong colour puts urgent notices exactly where nobody can walk past and miss them. This compact wall board has an open felt face, so a warning, a rota or a safety notice can be pinned up in seconds and then swapped over again just as fast, with no lock, glass or door to open first. The felt itself is a certified, tested grade made for public buildings, the satin aluminium frame finishes in rounded safety corners, and the board hangs whichever way round happens to suit the wall. This noticeboard is sold only through Displaysense. Best suited to offices, schools and reception areas where safety notices have to stand out clearly and the board has to meet fire rules.
Why an Open Felt Information Board Suits Notices That Change Every Day
- Red that pulls attention fast: A strong red face lifts a notice clean off the wall and makes it the very first thing people notice and read, so a warning, an alert or a deadline stands out clearly in a corridor, a foyer or a busy staff room, and without any extra signs, arrows or highlighting to point it out to people.
- Fire-resistant and certified: The felt is tested and rated to recognised fire standards, so a board full of pinned paper notices still meets the safety rules that apply to offices, schools, care settings and other public buildings where paper on a wall cannot become a fire risk.
- Open face for instant updates: With no lock, glass or door in the way, a pin goes straight into the open felt, which suits a board that changes many times a day, where staff and visitors can add or read notices through the day without ever waiting for a key or for a supervisor to come and unlock it.
- Rounded, safer corners: The satin aluminium frame finishes in softened, gently rounded corners rather than sharp points, giving a tidy edge that is kinder to pass close to in a busy corridor, and looks neat and finished on a smart reception or office wall.
- Pins and staples both hold: The felt grips a push pin or a staple firmly and evenly, so lightweight notes and heavier, thicker layered documents alike both stay exactly where you put them, and the felt surface takes them going in and out day after day, through a full term or a busy year, without ever looking tired or worn.
- Fixes up either way round: Hang the board tall in portrait or wide in landscape to suit the wall, using the supplied mounting hardware and the concealed fixings, so the board goes up level and finished, with no screws or brackets left on show anywhere around the edges.
Where a Compact Aluminium Framed Notice Board Fits a Busy Shared Wall
| Offices and Workplaces | Health and safety notices, fire procedures and team updates all go up on a bold red board that staff spot and read straight away, and the certified felt keeps a paper-covered wall safely within the fire-safety rules that apply to any busy workplace. |
| Schools and Colleges | Corridor alerts, trip letters and safeguarding notices all stand out in red on a wall where pupils and staff pass by all day, and the certified felt suits a school that has to keep all of its display surfaces fire-safe right across busy corridors and shared areas. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | Visitors meet a clear red board of sign-in guidance, house notices and safety information the very moment that they arrive at the front desk, the bold red colour and the rounded frame together keeping an entrance looking both smart and clearly well-run to every caller and visitor. |
| Care and Healthcare Settings | Fire routes, staff rotas and patient information all sit safely on a certified, tested surface in wards, day rooms and quiet waiting areas, where the strong red draws the eye to anything urgent, and the open face is quick and simple to update between shifts and rounds. |
| Public and Community Buildings | Halls, libraries and leisure centres put their local event news and safety notices on a board that meets the fire rules set for a public room, and the strong red colour helps the important information cut clearly through a busy, cluttered wall of leaflets and posters. |
| Back-of-House and Warehousing | Shift notices, hazard warnings and daily procedures all go up fast on an open red board in staff areas, stores and loading bays, where the fire-safe felt and the eye-catching colour both matter around machinery, stock and daily work. |

NB4806RD is a Fire Retardant Red Felt Aluminium Framed Noticeboard from Displaysense. A compact, open red felt noticeboard with a fire retardant surface, rated to BS 476 Class 0 and BS-EN 13501-1 for use in public buildings. Width 900mm, height 600mm. Weighs 3kg. Red felt that takes pins and staples, framed in satin silver anodised aluminium with rounded safety corners and concealed fixings. No lock or door, so notices go up and come down in seconds. Fixes to a wall in portrait or landscape and comes with the wall mounting hardware. For indoor use. Chosen by offices, schools, receptions and public buildings that need a fire-safe board where urgent notices must be seen. Sold only through Displaysense, and also made in blue, grey and green. Displaysense, UK display specialist since 1978. Free UK delivery.
Fire safety is the reason this particular board exists in the form it does. The red felt is a fire-safe grade, tested and rated to BS 476 Class 0 and BS-EN 13501-1, which are the two standards a display surface is expected to meet in an office, a school, a care home or another public building. A wall covered in paper notices is a lot of fuel in a fire, so a felt that resists catching light matters where fire rules apply, and this board lets you keep pinning notices as normal without breaking those rules. For a facilities manager, that is one less compliance worry on a wall that fills up with paper.
Red is a deliberate choice, not just decoration. The eye is drawn to a strong colour first, so a warning, a deadline or a safety notice on a red board tends to get read before the quieter paperwork around it. That makes the colour genuinely useful anywhere an urgent message simply must not be missed, from a busy corridor to a front reception desk, and it pairs the visual pull of red with the fire-safe felt underneath, so the board does two jobs at once rather than one. Colour and compliance rarely come together on the same board, which is what makes this one worth choosing.
An open face keeps the board quick to live with. There is no lock and no door to unlock, so a pin presses straight into the open felt and a notice is up or down again in a moment, which suits a busy wall that changes several times through the day. Both push pins and staples hold firmly in the felt, so a single light note and a thicker, layered document both sit just as securely on the felt, and the surface takes them in and out without wearing thin or looking tired. That open, no-fuss face is what keeps a busy board usable rather than a chore to update.
Mounting the board is a one-person job. It hangs on a wall in portrait or landscape using the supplied hardware, and the fixings sit concealed behind the frame, whose rounded corners leave a soft, tidy edge all round. Made for indoor use only, this board is sold only through Displaysense, and ships with free UK mainland delivery and a 28-day returns window, and also comes in blue, grey and green for walls that would rather have a calmer, quieter shade.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Open fire retardant felt noticeboard | A simple, open wall board with an exposed felt face, so that notices go up and come back down again in seconds, with no lock, glass or door to open up first. |
| Fire rating | BS 476 Class 0, BS-EN 13501-1 | The felt is tested to two recognised UK fire standards, so an entire board covered in pinned paper notices still meets the fire-safety rules that apply to a public building. |
| Surface | Red felt, takes pins and staples | A bold red felt face grips both the push pins and the staples well, and it takes notices being changed over daily for years without wear. |
| Frame | Satin silver anodised aluminium | A smart satin aluminium surround trims the felt off neatly, and it suits almost any office, school, clinic or smart reception wall. |
| Corners | Rounded safety corners | Rounded corners in place of sharp points look neat, and they leave a kinder and a safer edge to pass close to on a busy, shared wall. |
| Size | 900mm x 600mm | A compact board for a smaller wall, holding a useful spread of notices without ever quite dominating a corridor, a small office or a reception area. |
| Weight | 3kg | Light enough for just one person to lift and hang it up on their own, yet solid enough to sit firm and flat once it is up on the wall. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Mount the board upright for portrait or on its side for landscape, with the supplied fixings doing the whole of the job for either way up. |
| Fixings | Wall mounting kit, concealed | The wall mounting hardware all comes supplied, and it sits hidden away behind the frame, so the board goes up level and looks properly finished. |
| Colour | Red | A strong red draws the eye straight in, so any urgent or safety notice will stand out well ahead of the quieter, everyday paperwork around it. |
| Environment | Indoor use | Built for indoor walls in offices, schools and public buildings, and not at all for any outdoor, damp or otherwise exposed positions. |
| Exclusivity | Available only from Displaysense | Stocked by Displaysense alone and by no other retailer, which keeps the board a genuinely distinct choice for your own space. |

Read down through the fire rating, the felt surface, the frame, the safety corners and the wall fixings.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Open fire retardant felt noticeboard | A simple, open wall board with an exposed felt face, so that notices go up and come back down again in seconds, with no lock, glass or door to open up first. |
| Fire rating | BS 476 Class 0, BS-EN 13501-1 | The felt is tested to two recognised UK fire standards, so an entire board covered in pinned paper notices still meets the fire-safety rules that apply to a public building. |
| Surface | Red felt, takes pins and staples | A bold red felt face grips both the push pins and the staples well, and it takes notices being changed over daily for years without wear. |
| Frame | Satin silver anodised aluminium | A smart satin aluminium surround trims the felt off neatly, and it suits almost any office, school, clinic or smart reception wall. |
| Corners | Rounded safety corners | Rounded corners in place of sharp points look neat, and they leave a kinder and a safer edge to pass close to on a busy, shared wall. |
| Size | 900mm x 600mm | A compact board for a smaller wall, holding a useful spread of notices without ever quite dominating a corridor, a small office or a reception area. |
| Weight | 3kg | Light enough for just one person to lift and hang it up on their own, yet solid enough to sit firm and flat once it is up on the wall. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Mount the board upright for portrait or on its side for landscape, with the supplied fixings doing the whole of the job for either way up. |
| Fixings | Wall mounting kit, concealed | The wall mounting hardware all comes supplied, and it sits hidden away behind the frame, so the board goes up level and looks properly finished. |
| Colour | Red | A strong red draws the eye straight in, so any urgent or safety notice will stand out well ahead of the quieter, everyday paperwork around it. |
| Environment | Indoor use | Built for indoor walls in offices, schools and public buildings, and not at all for any outdoor, damp or otherwise exposed positions. |
| Exclusivity | Available only from Displaysense | Stocked by Displaysense alone and by no other retailer, which keeps the board a genuinely distinct choice for your own space. |

FAQs About This Red Fire Retardant Noticeboard
Keeping Wall Displays Both Safe and Seen in Public Buildings
A fire retardant board lets you cover a wall with notices and still meet the safety rules a public building has to follow. These Displaysense guides look at fire retardant boards, planning a clear reception display and getting the most from a noticeboard in a busy corridor or a shared, public space where information has to be both safe and seen.
Overview
A Red Fire Retardant Noticeboard That Makes Urgent Notices Impossible to Miss
Bright red draws the eye, and on a fire-safe felt board that strong colour puts urgent notices exactly where nobody can walk past and miss them. This compact wall board has an open felt face, so a warning, a rota or a safety notice can be pinned up in seconds and then swapped over again just as fast, with no lock, glass or door to open first. The felt itself is a certified, tested grade made for public buildings, the satin aluminium frame finishes in rounded safety corners, and the board hangs whichever way round happens to suit the wall. This noticeboard is sold only through Displaysense. Best suited to offices, schools and reception areas where safety notices have to stand out clearly and the board has to meet fire rules.
Why an Open Felt Information Board Suits Notices That Change Every Day
- Red that pulls attention fast: A strong red face lifts a notice clean off the wall and makes it the very first thing people notice and read, so a warning, an alert or a deadline stands out clearly in a corridor, a foyer or a busy staff room, and without any extra signs, arrows or highlighting to point it out to people.
- Fire-resistant and certified: The felt is tested and rated to recognised fire standards, so a board full of pinned paper notices still meets the safety rules that apply to offices, schools, care settings and other public buildings where paper on a wall cannot become a fire risk.
- Open face for instant updates: With no lock, glass or door in the way, a pin goes straight into the open felt, which suits a board that changes many times a day, where staff and visitors can add or read notices through the day without ever waiting for a key or for a supervisor to come and unlock it.
- Rounded, safer corners: The satin aluminium frame finishes in softened, gently rounded corners rather than sharp points, giving a tidy edge that is kinder to pass close to in a busy corridor, and looks neat and finished on a smart reception or office wall.
- Pins and staples both hold: The felt grips a push pin or a staple firmly and evenly, so lightweight notes and heavier, thicker layered documents alike both stay exactly where you put them, and the felt surface takes them going in and out day after day, through a full term or a busy year, without ever looking tired or worn.
- Fixes up either way round: Hang the board tall in portrait or wide in landscape to suit the wall, using the supplied mounting hardware and the concealed fixings, so the board goes up level and finished, with no screws or brackets left on show anywhere around the edges.
Where a Compact Aluminium Framed Notice Board Fits a Busy Shared Wall
| Offices and Workplaces | Health and safety notices, fire procedures and team updates all go up on a bold red board that staff spot and read straight away, and the certified felt keeps a paper-covered wall safely within the fire-safety rules that apply to any busy workplace. |
| Schools and Colleges | Corridor alerts, trip letters and safeguarding notices all stand out in red on a wall where pupils and staff pass by all day, and the certified felt suits a school that has to keep all of its display surfaces fire-safe right across busy corridors and shared areas. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | Visitors meet a clear red board of sign-in guidance, house notices and safety information the very moment that they arrive at the front desk, the bold red colour and the rounded frame together keeping an entrance looking both smart and clearly well-run to every caller and visitor. |
| Care and Healthcare Settings | Fire routes, staff rotas and patient information all sit safely on a certified, tested surface in wards, day rooms and quiet waiting areas, where the strong red draws the eye to anything urgent, and the open face is quick and simple to update between shifts and rounds. |
| Public and Community Buildings | Halls, libraries and leisure centres put their local event news and safety notices on a board that meets the fire rules set for a public room, and the strong red colour helps the important information cut clearly through a busy, cluttered wall of leaflets and posters. |
| Back-of-House and Warehousing | Shift notices, hazard warnings and daily procedures all go up fast on an open red board in staff areas, stores and loading bays, where the fire-safe felt and the eye-catching colour both matter around machinery, stock and daily work. |

Description
Fire safety is the reason this particular board exists in the form it does. The red felt is a fire-safe grade, tested and rated to BS 476 Class 0 and BS-EN 13501-1, which are the two standards a display surface is expected to meet in an office, a school, a care home or another public building. A wall covered in paper notices is a lot of fuel in a fire, so a felt that resists catching light matters where fire rules apply, and this board lets you keep pinning notices as normal without breaking those rules. For a facilities manager, that is one less compliance worry on a wall that fills up with paper.
Red is a deliberate choice, not just decoration. The eye is drawn to a strong colour first, so a warning, a deadline or a safety notice on a red board tends to get read before the quieter paperwork around it. That makes the colour genuinely useful anywhere an urgent message simply must not be missed, from a busy corridor to a front reception desk, and it pairs the visual pull of red with the fire-safe felt underneath, so the board does two jobs at once rather than one. Colour and compliance rarely come together on the same board, which is what makes this one worth choosing.
An open face keeps the board quick to live with. There is no lock and no door to unlock, so a pin presses straight into the open felt and a notice is up or down again in a moment, which suits a busy wall that changes several times through the day. Both push pins and staples hold firmly in the felt, so a single light note and a thicker, layered document both sit just as securely on the felt, and the surface takes them in and out without wearing thin or looking tired. That open, no-fuss face is what keeps a busy board usable rather than a chore to update.
Mounting the board is a one-person job. It hangs on a wall in portrait or landscape using the supplied hardware, and the fixings sit concealed behind the frame, whose rounded corners leave a soft, tidy edge all round. Made for indoor use only, this board is sold only through Displaysense, and ships with free UK mainland delivery and a 28-day returns window, and also comes in blue, grey and green for walls that would rather have a calmer, quieter shade.
