A Bold Red Square Display Board That Brings Every Safety Notice Forward
The NB4812R puts a big, bold red surface on the wall where safety information has to be seen and acted on, giving evacuation guidance, warnings and staff notices the kind of contrast that stops people walking past. Its square shape offers one large, even display area that groups notices neatly and reads the same whichever way up it hangs, and the whole board is fire tested as a complete composite, so the certification covers the felt, backing, frame and corners together rather than a single treated layer. Push pins and staples both hold on the red felt, rounded corners keep the edges safe, a satin silver frame gives a professional finish, and a two-year guarantee stands behind it. It comes from Displaysense alone. Best suited to schools, NHS sites and civic buildings where corridors, stairwells and escape routes have to stay fire compliant and clearly signed.
Why This Red Information Board Is Fire Tested as a Whole, Not in Parts
- Bold red that gets read: A strong red surface gives notices the highest contrast on a busy wall, so evacuation routes, warnings and safety procedures are the first thing people take in, rather than getting lost among the ordinary paperwork around them.
- Certified as one composite: The finished board, felt, backing, frame and corners, was tested together to BS 476 Class 0 (Parts 6 and 7) and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1,d0, so the fire rating belongs to the complete unit and not to a single treated layer inside it.
- One big square area: A large, even square gives plenty of room for a full set of notices in one block, sits well on its own and lines up cleanly beside matching boards where a wide wall calls for more than one.
- Safe corners, tidy frame: Rounded corners take the sharp edges off a large board fixed in a school or hospital, and a satin silver aluminium frame holds it square and gives a clean, hard-wearing finish for a public setting.
- Fits the wall either way: With the supplied wall mount kit, the board hangs portrait or landscape and sits flush, so it drops onto a tall pier or a wider stretch of wall without any special planning.
- A Displaysense own-range board: This red square fire board is sold by us and no high-street supplier, which keeps the certified board on your wall unique to your building and easy to reorder in a match whenever another wall needs one.
Where a Bold Red Notice Board Holds Its Own in a High-Risk Building
| Corridors and Escape Routes | Protected routes and busy through-corridors carry strict fire rules, so a certified red board there keeps evacuation plans and safety instructions impossible to overlook in exactly the spots people need them under pressure. |
| Stairwells and Circulation Cores | Stair cores move a lot of people and answer to demanding fire standards, and a bold red board holds emergency guidance where it stays legible in the flow while meeting the compliance a protected space is held to. |
| School and University Buildings | Education corridors and shared halls carry safeguarding, timetable and safety notices for large groups, and a high-visibility red board keeps the most urgent of them at the front of a busy student's attention. |
| NHS and Healthcare Sites | Wards, clinics and department corridors rely on notices being read fast under pressure, so a bold red surface keeps procedures, alerts and patient information legible while satisfying the fire rules a clinical route follows. |
| Civic and Government Offices | Fire rules reach right across the shared parts of a council building or public office, so a large certified red board hands facilities teams a compliant, hard-wearing spot for public notices and safety information in a well-used setting. |
| High-Traffic Public Venues | Stations, halls and busy public spaces move crowds through quickly, and a bold red board keeps safety and wayfinding messages standing out in the movement while still meeting the fire rules any public setting must observe. |
Prefer a Calmer Colour or a Different Size?
The same square board comes in blue as well as green and grey, and for a tighter wall the compact 1200 x 900 red board shares the same composite rating. Give us the details of the room and we can help you settle on the right size and colour.

The Displaysense NB4812R is a large square fire-resistant red felt aluminium-framed noticeboard. It is fire tested as a complete composite, not from flame-retardant parts alone, meeting BS 476 Class 0 (Parts 6 and 7) and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1,d0. The board measures 1200mm x 1200mm and weighs 18.1kg. Its bold red felt gives high-visibility display and takes push pins and staples. A satin silver anodised aluminium frame surrounds the board and the corners are rounded for safety. It hangs portrait or landscape, comes with a wall mount kit, carries a 2-year guarantee and is for indoor use. It is a Displaysense exclusive. The square format suits corridors, stairwells and escape routes, school and university buildings, NHS sites and civic offices where a bold, fire-compliant board has to catch the eye. Also available in blue (NB4812B), green and grey in the same square size, as a compact 1200mm x 900mm red board (NB4809RD) and an extra-large 2400mm x 1200mm red board (NB4824R). Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
On a busy wall crowded with paper, a large red board is what stops people walking past, pulling attention straight to evacuation routes, safety notices and anything else on the wall that has to be acted on quickly and without hesitation. Bold red gives the highest contrast of any felt colour, so the most urgent messages are read first, which is exactly what you want in a corridor, a stairwell or an entrance where a missed notice can carry a real and immediate cost.
As an even square rather than a tall or wide rectangle, this board groups a full set of notices into one block that works neatly on its own or beside matching boards in a larger layout, and it hangs either way up with no wrong orientation to plan around before it goes on the wall. The generous area gives room to spread safety guidance, rotas and reference sheets out clearly instead of overlapping them, which keeps even a busy board readable at a single glance rather than a wall of overlapping paper.
For the fire rating, the assembled board was assessed as one composite, the red felt, its backing and the framed corners all put through the test as a single piece, to BS 476 Class 0 (Parts 6 and 7) and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1,d0, rather than to a single treated layer with the rest taken on trust. Rating the finished item this way is what qualifies a board like this for a corridor, stairwell or escape route, spaces where the fire rules apply to every part of what hangs on the wall and not just to the felt at the front of it.
A satin silver anodised aluminium frame with curved corners finishes the board and takes the sharp edges off a big panel set in a school or hospital, while push pins and staples both bite firmly into the red felt, so light printouts and heavy laminated sheets alike stay exactly where they are put. The board carries a two-year guarantee across its daily working life, and with Displaysense as the sole stockist, the certified red board stays particular to your own building instead of something a nearby site can order off a general catalogue.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Colour and Finish | Red felt | A high-impact colour that pulls the eye straight to the most urgent notices and safety guidance, even on a crowded, busy wall. |
| Fire Certification | BS 476 Class 0 (Parts 6 and 7) and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1,d0, tested as a composite | Rated as one certified item across the whole board, so it can guard a corridor, stairwell or escape route that has to comply as one complete item, not just a surface. |
| Surface | Fire-rated red felt, works with pins and staples | Pins or staples hold anything from a light printed alert to a heavy laminated map, all on a surface that is rated to resist fire. |
| Frame | Satin silver anodised aluminium | A slender anodised border that shrugs off corrosion, frames the bold red neatly and takes the everyday knocks of a high-traffic wall. |
| Corners | Rounded safety corners | Curved corners instead of sharp ones, a sensible detail on a big panel set along a route people hurry down all day long. |
| Size | 1200mm x 1200mm | A generous even square with one big display area, easy to group into a row or a block with matching boards along a wider wall. |
| Weight | 18.1kg | A hefty square panel, so plan on two people to lift and hold it steady while it is fixed to a solid wall with the supplied kit. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Equal on every side, so which edge goes to the top makes no difference and the board mounts to whatever the wall allows. |
| Fixings | Wall mount kit included | Everything needed to hang it is in the box, so you pick the fittings to suit the wall type and mount the board straight away. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | Guaranteed for a full two years, right for a board that works hard every day in a busy, safety-critical space. |
| Exclusivity | Exclusive to Displaysense | Displaysense is the sole seller, which ties the red square board to your own building and keeps a matching reorder simple. |

Common Questions About Square Fire-Rated Red Noticeboards
Q: What is the best fire-rated noticeboard for a high-risk corridor or escape route?
A: The best fire-rated noticeboard for a high-risk corridor or escape route is a large square red felt board tested as one whole composite, to BS 476 Class 0 (Parts 6 and 7) and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1,d0. The bold red keeps safety notices impossible to overlook, the felt takes pins and staples, and rounded corners and a two-year guarantee come with it.
Q: Why choose red for a safety noticeboard?
A: Red gives the highest visual contrast of any felt colour, so a red board pushes evacuation routes, warnings and urgent notices right to the front of everyone's attention. Along a crowded corridor or right beside an exit, that split-second read is exactly what a safety message has to rely on.
Q: What fire standards does the red square board meet?
A: It holds BS 476 Class 0 (Parts 6 and 7) and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1,d0, two recognised UK fire classifications, earned by testing the assembled board rather than the felt on its own. Passing both is what makes it fit for corridors, stairwells and escape routes inside a public building.
Q: What does composite testing mean, and why does it matter?
A: It means the entire board went through fire testing as one assembled unit, the red felt with its backing, frame and corners, not just the visible surface. Because many boards only fire-treat the felt, a certificate earned by the whole item is the real proof that everything on the wall meets the standard a high-risk space calls for.
Q: Should I pick this square board or the extra-large NB4824R?
A: Pick this square 1200 by 1200 red board for a single busy wall or a modular set, and the NB4824R, at an extra-large 2400 by 1200, when a whole corridor needs lining end to end. The composite fire certification is identical on both, so the size of wall you are covering is the deciding factor.
Q: Does the red felt take pins and staples?
A: Yes, it works with both. Push pins suit quick, everyday changes while staples give a firmer hold for heavier or layered displays, and the fire-rated red felt takes either without fuss. The fire classification places no limit at all on the way the surface is used from day to day.
Q: How is a board this size mounted on the wall?
A: The wall mount kit comes in the box. Because it is a big, heavy panel, two people should lift and hold it while it is fixed to a solid wall, with fittings picked to match the wall. Once mounted, the square face can face either way with no wrong side up.
Q: Are the corners safe in a school or hospital?
A: Yes. The corners are rounded rather than square, a sensible touch on a large board fixed where children, patients and staff move quickly past. It leaves a smooth edge all the way round the board, with nothing sharp to catch on in a busy public space.
Q: Does orientation matter on a square noticeboard?
A: Yes to both. With equal sides, the board looks right hung either way up, so orientation is one less thing to think about on install day. Its even shape also sits happily in a row or a block with other boards where a big wall needs a set rather than a single panel.
Q: Is the red fire board guaranteed?
A: Yes, it comes with a two-year guarantee. The cover suits a board that works hard every day in a safety-critical spot, so its frame, felt and fittings are built to keep going under steady, heavy use rather than a light one.
Q: Is this red square fire noticeboard exclusive to Displaysense?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the only stockist of this composite-certified red board, so it will not surface in a general office range. That leaves the certified boards across your building particular to your own site, and makes matching a later order, or adding a different colour, simple as further rooms are done.
Q: Is a fire-rated felt board any use outdoors?
A: No, this is an indoor board. Rain, wind and damp would soon ruin the red felt and metal frame, so it belongs inside corridors, stairwells, wards and offices. The classification speaks to fire behaviour indoors, not to surviving the weather out in the open.
Making Fire-Safe Notices Impossible to Overlook
In a corridor, stairwell or escape route, a safety notice only works if it is spotted and read, which puts colour, placement and the fire rules of a public building at the heart of the choice. Getting a bold safety notice noticed comes down to colour, where it hangs and the fire rules a building must follow. The guides below cover corridor displays, safeguarding, fire compliance and picking the right board for a busy site.

Getting a bold safety notice noticed comes down to colour, where it hangs and the fire rules a building must follow. The guides below cover corridor displays, safeguarding, fire compliance and picking the right board for a busy site.

A Bold Red Square Display Board That Brings Every Safety Notice Forward
The NB4812R puts a big, bold red surface on the wall where safety information has to be seen and acted on, giving evacuation guidance, warnings and staff notices the kind of contrast that stops people walking past. Its square shape offers one large, even display area that groups notices neatly and reads the same whichever way up it hangs, and the whole board is fire tested as a complete composite, so the certification covers the felt, backing, frame and corners together rather than a single treated layer. Push pins and staples both hold on the red felt, rounded corners keep the edges safe, a satin silver frame gives a professional finish, and a two-year guarantee stands behind it. It comes from Displaysense alone. Best suited to schools, NHS sites and civic buildings where corridors, stairwells and escape routes have to stay fire compliant and clearly signed.
Why This Red Information Board Is Fire Tested as a Whole, Not in Parts
- Bold red that gets read: A strong red surface gives notices the highest contrast on a busy wall, so evacuation routes, warnings and safety procedures are the first thing people take in, rather than getting lost among the ordinary paperwork around them.
- Certified as one composite: The finished board, felt, backing, frame and corners, was tested together to BS 476 Class 0 (Parts 6 and 7) and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1,d0, so the fire rating belongs to the complete unit and not to a single treated layer inside it.
- One big square area: A large, even square gives plenty of room for a full set of notices in one block, sits well on its own and lines up cleanly beside matching boards where a wide wall calls for more than one.
- Safe corners, tidy frame: Rounded corners take the sharp edges off a large board fixed in a school or hospital, and a satin silver aluminium frame holds it square and gives a clean, hard-wearing finish for a public setting.
- Fits the wall either way: With the supplied wall mount kit, the board hangs portrait or landscape and sits flush, so it drops onto a tall pier or a wider stretch of wall without any special planning.
- A Displaysense own-range board: This red square fire board is sold by us and no high-street supplier, which keeps the certified board on your wall unique to your building and easy to reorder in a match whenever another wall needs one.
Where a Bold Red Notice Board Holds Its Own in a High-Risk Building
| Corridors and Escape Routes | Protected routes and busy through-corridors carry strict fire rules, so a certified red board there keeps evacuation plans and safety instructions impossible to overlook in exactly the spots people need them under pressure. |
| Stairwells and Circulation Cores | Stair cores move a lot of people and answer to demanding fire standards, and a bold red board holds emergency guidance where it stays legible in the flow while meeting the compliance a protected space is held to. |
| School and University Buildings | Education corridors and shared halls carry safeguarding, timetable and safety notices for large groups, and a high-visibility red board keeps the most urgent of them at the front of a busy student's attention. |
| NHS and Healthcare Sites | Wards, clinics and department corridors rely on notices being read fast under pressure, so a bold red surface keeps procedures, alerts and patient information legible while satisfying the fire rules a clinical route follows. |
| Civic and Government Offices | Fire rules reach right across the shared parts of a council building or public office, so a large certified red board hands facilities teams a compliant, hard-wearing spot for public notices and safety information in a well-used setting. |
| High-Traffic Public Venues | Stations, halls and busy public spaces move crowds through quickly, and a bold red board keeps safety and wayfinding messages standing out in the movement while still meeting the fire rules any public setting must observe. |
Prefer a Calmer Colour or a Different Size?

The Displaysense NB4812R is a large square fire-resistant red felt aluminium-framed noticeboard. It is fire tested as a complete composite, not from flame-retardant parts alone, meeting BS 476 Class 0 (Parts 6 and 7) and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1,d0. The board measures 1200mm x 1200mm and weighs 18.1kg. Its bold red felt gives high-visibility display and takes push pins and staples. A satin silver anodised aluminium frame surrounds the board and the corners are rounded for safety. It hangs portrait or landscape, comes with a wall mount kit, carries a 2-year guarantee and is for indoor use. It is a Displaysense exclusive. The square format suits corridors, stairwells and escape routes, school and university buildings, NHS sites and civic offices where a bold, fire-compliant board has to catch the eye. Also available in blue (NB4812B), green and grey in the same square size, as a compact 1200mm x 900mm red board (NB4809RD) and an extra-large 2400mm x 1200mm red board (NB4824R). Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
On a busy wall crowded with paper, a large red board is what stops people walking past, pulling attention straight to evacuation routes, safety notices and anything else on the wall that has to be acted on quickly and without hesitation. Bold red gives the highest contrast of any felt colour, so the most urgent messages are read first, which is exactly what you want in a corridor, a stairwell or an entrance where a missed notice can carry a real and immediate cost.
As an even square rather than a tall or wide rectangle, this board groups a full set of notices into one block that works neatly on its own or beside matching boards in a larger layout, and it hangs either way up with no wrong orientation to plan around before it goes on the wall. The generous area gives room to spread safety guidance, rotas and reference sheets out clearly instead of overlapping them, which keeps even a busy board readable at a single glance rather than a wall of overlapping paper.
For the fire rating, the assembled board was assessed as one composite, the red felt, its backing and the framed corners all put through the test as a single piece, to BS 476 Class 0 (Parts 6 and 7) and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1,d0, rather than to a single treated layer with the rest taken on trust. Rating the finished item this way is what qualifies a board like this for a corridor, stairwell or escape route, spaces where the fire rules apply to every part of what hangs on the wall and not just to the felt at the front of it.
A satin silver anodised aluminium frame with curved corners finishes the board and takes the sharp edges off a big panel set in a school or hospital, while push pins and staples both bite firmly into the red felt, so light printouts and heavy laminated sheets alike stay exactly where they are put. The board carries a two-year guarantee across its daily working life, and with Displaysense as the sole stockist, the certified red board stays particular to your own building instead of something a nearby site can order off a general catalogue.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Colour and Finish | Red felt | A high-impact colour that pulls the eye straight to the most urgent notices and safety guidance, even on a crowded, busy wall. |
| Fire Certification | BS 476 Class 0 (Parts 6 and 7) and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1,d0, tested as a composite | Rated as one certified item across the whole board, so it can guard a corridor, stairwell or escape route that has to comply as one complete item, not just a surface. |
| Surface | Fire-rated red felt, works with pins and staples | Pins or staples hold anything from a light printed alert to a heavy laminated map, all on a surface that is rated to resist fire. |
| Frame | Satin silver anodised aluminium | A slender anodised border that shrugs off corrosion, frames the bold red neatly and takes the everyday knocks of a high-traffic wall. |
| Corners | Rounded safety corners | Curved corners instead of sharp ones, a sensible detail on a big panel set along a route people hurry down all day long. |
| Size | 1200mm x 1200mm | A generous even square with one big display area, easy to group into a row or a block with matching boards along a wider wall. |
| Weight | 18.1kg | A hefty square panel, so plan on two people to lift and hold it steady while it is fixed to a solid wall with the supplied kit. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Equal on every side, so which edge goes to the top makes no difference and the board mounts to whatever the wall allows. |

Common Questions About Square Fire-Rated Red Noticeboards
Q: What is the best fire-rated noticeboard for a high-risk corridor or escape route?
A: The best fire-rated noticeboard for a high-risk corridor or escape route is a large square red felt board tested as one whole composite, to BS 476 Class 0 (Parts 6 and 7) and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1,d0. The bold red keeps safety notices impossible to overlook, the felt takes pins and staples, and rounded corners and a two-year guarantee come with it.
Q: Why choose red for a safety noticeboard?
A: Red gives the highest visual contrast of any felt colour, so a red board pushes evacuation routes, warnings and urgent notices right to the front of everyone's attention. Along a crowded corridor or right beside an exit, that split-second read is exactly what a safety message has to rely on.
Q: What fire standards does the red square board meet?
A: It holds BS 476 Class 0 (Parts 6 and 7) and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1,d0, two recognised UK fire classifications, earned by testing the assembled board rather than the felt on its own. Passing both is what makes it fit for corridors, stairwells and escape routes inside a public building.
Q: What does composite testing mean, and why does it matter?
A: It means the entire board went through fire testing as one assembled unit, the red felt with its backing, frame and corners, not just the visible surface. Because many boards only fire-treat the felt, a certificate earned by the whole item is the real proof that everything on the wall meets the standard a high-risk space calls for.
Q: Should I pick this square board or the extra-large NB4824R?
A: Pick this square 1200 by 1200 red board for a single busy wall or a modular set, and the NB4824R, at an extra-large 2400 by 1200, when a whole corridor needs lining end to end. The composite fire certification is identical on both, so the size of wall you are covering is the deciding factor.
Q: Does the red felt take pins and staples?
A: Yes, it works with both. Push pins suit quick, everyday changes while staples give a firmer hold for heavier or layered displays, and the fire-rated red felt takes either without fuss. The fire classification places no limit at all on the way the surface is used from day to day.
Q: How is a board this size mounted on the wall?
A: The wall mount kit comes in the box. Because it is a big, heavy panel, two people should lift and hold it while it is fixed to a solid wall, with fittings picked to match the wall. Once mounted, the square face can face either way with no wrong side up.
Q: Are the corners safe in a school or hospital?
A: Yes. The corners are rounded rather than square, a sensible touch on a large board fixed where children, patients and staff move quickly past. It leaves a smooth edge all the way round the board, with nothing sharp to catch on in a busy public space.
Q: Does orientation matter on a square noticeboard?
A: Yes to both. With equal sides, the board looks right hung either way up, so orientation is one less thing to think about on install day. Its even shape also sits happily in a row or a block with other boards where a big wall needs a set rather than a single panel.
Q: Is the red fire board guaranteed?
A: Yes, it comes with a two-year guarantee. The cover suits a board that works hard every day in a safety-critical spot, so its frame, felt and fittings are built to keep going under steady, heavy use rather than a light one.
Q: Is this red square fire noticeboard exclusive to Displaysense?
A: Yes. Displaysense is the only stockist of this composite-certified red board, so it will not surface in a general office range. That leaves the certified boards across your building particular to your own site, and makes matching a later order, or adding a different colour, simple as further rooms are done.
Q: Is a fire-rated felt board any use outdoors?
A: No, this is an indoor board. Rain, wind and damp would soon ruin the red felt and metal frame, so it belongs inside corridors, stairwells, wards and offices. The classification speaks to fire behaviour indoors, not to surviving the weather out in the open.

A: Yes. Displaysense is the only stockist of this composite-certified red board, so it will not surface in a general office range. That leaves the certified boards across your building particular to your own site, and makes matching a later order, or adding a different colour, simple as further rooms are done.
Q: Is a fire-rated felt board any use outdoors?
A: No, this is an indoor board. Rain, wind and damp would soon ruin the red felt and metal frame, so it belongs inside corridors, stairwells, wards and offices. The classification speaks to fire behaviour indoors, not to surviving the weather out in the open.

Making Fire-Safe Notices Impossible to Overlook
In a corridor, stairwell or escape route, a safety notice only works if it is spotted and read, which puts colour, placement and the fire rules of a public building at the heart of the choice. Getting a bold safety notice noticed comes down to colour, where it hangs and the fire rules a building must follow. The guides below cover corridor displays, safeguarding, fire compliance and picking the right board for a busy site.
