A Wide Blue Tamperproof Noticeboard for a Busy Public Building
A public building with a lot to tell people needs one clear place to put it, and a wide board gives them that. This fire-resistant blue tamperproof felt noticeboard runs across a long wall, holding a whole building's notices in a single, organised run rather than scattering them. Two lockable doors share the width so the entire display stays secure, and the cool, dependable blue gives it the official, in-order look a school, hospital or council wants. The pair of doors lock over a shatterproof front, and the whole case is certified for fire as a complete build rather than from parts rated on their own. Inside, the blue felt holds pins and staples, set in a satin silver aluminium frame with rounded safety corners. Best suited for hospital concourses, university buildings and civic offices where one wide, secure board has to keep a busy public space informed.
Why a Long Public Wall Needs a Dual-Door Blue Noticeboard
- Two doors, the whole width secured. A pair of keyed doors spans the board, so the entire width locks shut and only staff can change what is shown. Dividing a long board into two doors also keeps each one easy to open, which matters on a display this size in a busy building.
- Blue that looks organised and official. The cool blue felt gives a wide display a calm, dependable appearance that suits a school, hospital or council, where a louder colour would feel out of place. A whole wall of notices reads as orderly rather than cluttered, however much goes up.
- Room for a building's whole picture. Running across a long wall, the board holds far more than a standard one, enough for a department or a public floor to keep all of its information in a single continuous run. People learn one place to look instead of hunting across several boards.
- Fire-certified as a finished board. Testing covers the assembled unit, to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, not the felt alone. For a large board on a regulated public wall, that whole-unit evidence is what a fire assessment is signed against.
- Shatterproof glazing on both doors. Each door is fronted with clear PETG, rated on its own to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y, that keeps notices readable while protecting them. The plastic takes the knocks of a busy concourse and stays whole where glass could break.
- Blue felt across the span, ready to fit. Notices pin or staple anywhere across the blue felt, so a wide board fills quickly and changes without fuss, and the surface recovers as fixings move. A concealed wall mount kit with snap-on corner covers and a two year guarantee are supplied, and it is made in the UK.
Large Public Spaces a Wide Blue Display Board Suits
| Hospital Outpatient Areas | Clinic times, department signage and patient information line up along a wide blue board in a hospital outpatient area, the long span keeping a floor's notices together and the calm colour suiting a clinical setting. |
| University Lecture Buildings | Where a lecture building moves hundreds of students between classes, a wide blue board carries timetables, room changes and exam notices across its full width, its dependable colour suiting the architecture and its locked doors guarding the content. |
| Council and Civic Halls | Public information, statutory notices and service updates spread across a wide blue board in a council or civic hall, the long surface holding a full set and the official blue matching a formal interior. |
| Corporate Office Floors | Through a large corporate office floor, a wide blue board gathers policies, schedules and team notices in one organised run, the cool tone keeping a designed workspace looking in order. |
| Leisure and Sports Centres | Class timetables, membership information and safety notices fill a wide blue board in a leisure or sports centre, the broad span suiting a varied programme and the locked doors keeping a busy display tidy. |
| Station and Transport Concourses | Beside a station or transport concourse, a wide blue board holds timetables, service notices and travel information for large numbers of people, the dual locked doors keeping it orderly where it goes unsupervised. |

NB5018B is a Fire Resistant Tamperproof Blue Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. The widest board in the range, a dual-door lockable, fire-certified display case, independently tested as a full composite to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, with clear PETG doors rated to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y. Dimensions 1800mm x 1200mm. Weight 35kg. Cool blue felt surface that holds pins and staples behind two lockable shatterproof PETG doors, set in a satin silver anodised aluminium frame with rounded safety corners and snap-on corner covers, 20mm internal clearance, landscape orientation only, a concealed wall mount kit and a two year guarantee, made in the UK. Used by hospitals, universities, councils and corporate buildings across the UK. Also available in grey, green and red, and in sizes from 600mm x 900mm up to 2400mm x 1200mm. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK delivery.
Colour does more on a board this size than people expect. A cool blue felt reads as calm and dependable, so a wide display crowded with notices still looks organised rather than chaotic, which matters in the considered interior of a school, hospital or civic building. The blue gives information an official, settled feel, the sort a public space wants on a wall everyone passes several times a day. It is the tone that quietly signals a place has its affairs in order, and against neutral walls and signage it sits comfortably, never pulling focus from the notices it carries.
The board's other defining quality is its reach. Built to run the length of a long wall, it replaces a scattering of small boards with one continuous run that people quickly learn to check, so a department's information lives in a single place rather than spread around the building. Rather than a single door it carries two, each locking independently across the width so the whole display stays secure, and splitting the span keeps each door a sensible size to open. Staff can reach one half without disturbing the other, which keeps updating a busy board quick and tidy.
The construction is made for years of public use. The frame is satin silver aluminium, its corners rounded for safety and capped with snap-on covers that hide the fixings, leaving a clean face with nothing for a passer-by to pick at. The blue felt accepts pins and staples across the full width, with depth behind the glazing to layer notices rather than pin a single flat sheet. Both doors are glazed in shatterproof PETG rather than glass, so a knock in a busy corridor leaves no cracks or shards.
What a fire officer signs against is the whole board, not just its lining. The assembled unit is rated to BS 476 Class 0 across Parts 6 and 7 and to BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, with the clear PETG of both doors certified separately to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y, so the certificate describes the object on the wall as a finished build rather than a set of materials. The board mounts landscape only and, being heavy at this size, is a two-person job to hang on a solid wall. A wall mount kit and a two year guarantee come with it, ready for a public corridor or escape route.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Wide Blue Tamperproof Noticeboard
Q: What is the best wide noticeboard for a hospital or university corridor?
A: The NB5018B is the strongest choice for a long hospital or campus corridor. It measures 1800mm by 1200mm, the widest in the range, with two lockable doors and a cool blue felt that takes pins and staples. Tested to BS 476 Class 0 as a complete unit, it meets the fire rules a public building works to.
Q: How do the two locking doors work?
A: Each of the two doors locks on its own, both opening with the same key. Because an 1800mm board would be awkward behind one door, the pair divides it into two manageable panels that still lock the whole width shut. The clear fronts are shatterproof PETG, certified separately to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y.
Q: How do you keep a large public noticeboard tamperproof?
A: Locking both doors leaves nothing on the board adjustable without a key, which only staff hold. Snap-on corner covers hide the wall fixings, so the board cannot be unscrewed from the front, and the PETG is shatterproof against knocks. The full 1800mm display stays as posted.
Q: Is this noticeboard suitable for a hospital?
A: Yes. In hospitals this board lines outpatient corridors and concourses, holding clinic times, wayfinding and patient safety notices along its 1800mm width. One continuous run keeps a department's information together, the calm blue suits a clinical space, and the composite fire certification satisfies NHS building rules.
Q: Is this suitable for a university or school?
A: Yes. Universities and colleges fit this board in lecture buildings and busy hallways for timetables, room changes and exam information. Its width gathers a faculty's notices in one place, the dependable blue keeps a crowded wall looking ordered, and the locked doors stop posted information being changed.
Q: How is this noticeboard fixed to the wall?
A: Two people are needed to fit it, as the board weighs 35kg and hangs in landscape orientation only. The supplied wall mount kit fixes it to a solid wall, and snap-on corner covers hide the screws. Once a door is unlocked, notices go up and come down in seconds on pins or staples.
Q: What size is this noticeboard and how heavy is it?
A: 1800mm x 1200mm, weighing 35kg. It is the widest board Displaysense makes in this range, landscape only, with 20mm of clearance behind the twin doors. The blue felt covers the full width and takes pins and staples anywhere across it.
Q: How does this compare with the square NB5012B?
A: The NB5018B spans 1800mm with two doors, while the NB5012B is a 1200mm square with one. Each shows blue felt behind locked, shatterproof PETG, with the same BS 476 Class 0 composite certification. Pick the wide board for a long corridor or concourse, and the square where a wall is tall or evenly proportioned.
Q: Do I need a board this wide?
A: Match the board to the wall. Where a corridor, concourse or large reception runs long with plenty to display, the 1800mm width earns its place. A tall or compact wall is better served by the 1200mm square or a smaller board. The locks and fire rating are the same throughout.
Q: How do you keep notices readable on a large blue board?
A: Across the full 1800mm width notices stay clear, because the matt PETG diffuses ceiling light instead of mirroring it. The cool blue behind the text sits quietly and adds no glare of its own. Being shatterproof as well as matt, the glazing protects a large display while keeping it easy to read.
Q: Is this noticeboard available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Delivery to the UK mainland is free and the board is made in the UK. Displaysense is based in Hertfordshire and has equipped UK hospitals, universities and councils with display products since 1978. Every order carries a 28-day returns window, and large orders are scheduled to suit the site.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. Besides blue, the 1800mm x 1200mm board is made in grey, green and red felt. The tamperproof range starts at 600mm x 900mm and reaches 2400mm x 1200mm. Each size keeps the same lockable doors, fire-rated felt and BS 476 Class 0 composite certification.
Fitting a Wide Board to a Public Corridor
On a long public wall, one board can replace a scattering of smaller ones, but it has to stay readable, secure and in keeping with the space, so colour and fire rating matter as much as the width. The guides below cover choosing a board for your space, how fire-compliant display works in schools and universities, and how colour shapes what people notice.

Fitting a Wide Board to a Public Corridor
On a long public wall, one board can replace a scattering of smaller ones, but it has to stay readable, secure and in keeping with the space, so colour and fire rating matter as much as the width. The guides below cover choosing a board for your space, how fire-compliant display works in schools and universities, and how colour shapes what people notice.

A Wide Blue Tamperproof Noticeboard for a Busy Public Building
A public building with a lot to tell people needs one clear place to put it, and a wide board gives them that. This fire-resistant blue tamperproof felt noticeboard runs across a long wall, holding a whole building's notices in a single, organised run rather than scattering them. Two lockable doors share the width so the entire display stays secure, and the cool, dependable blue gives it the official, in-order look a school, hospital or council wants. The pair of doors lock over a shatterproof front, and the whole case is certified for fire as a complete build rather than from parts rated on their own. Inside, the blue felt holds pins and staples, set in a satin silver aluminium frame with rounded safety corners. Best suited for hospital concourses, university buildings and civic offices where one wide, secure board has to keep a busy public space informed.
Why a Long Public Wall Needs a Dual-Door Blue Noticeboard
- Two doors, the whole width secured. A pair of keyed doors spans the board, so the entire width locks shut and only staff can change what is shown. Dividing a long board into two doors also keeps each one easy to open, which matters on a display this size in a busy building.
- Blue that looks organised and official. The cool blue felt gives a wide display a calm, dependable appearance that suits a school, hospital or council, where a louder colour would feel out of place. A whole wall of notices reads as orderly rather than cluttered, however much goes up.
- Room for a building's whole picture. Running across a long wall, the board holds far more than a standard one, enough for a department or a public floor to keep all of its information in a single continuous run. People learn one place to look instead of hunting across several boards.
- Fire-certified as a finished board. Testing covers the assembled unit, to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, not the felt alone. For a large board on a regulated public wall, that whole-unit evidence is what a fire assessment is signed against.
- Shatterproof glazing on both doors. Each door is fronted with clear PETG, rated on its own to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y, that keeps notices readable while protecting them. The plastic takes the knocks of a busy concourse and stays whole where glass could break.
- Blue felt across the span, ready to fit. Notices pin or staple anywhere across the blue felt, so a wide board fills quickly and changes without fuss, and the surface recovers as fixings move. A concealed wall mount kit with snap-on corner covers and a two year guarantee are supplied, and it is made in the UK.
Large Public Spaces a Wide Blue Display Board Suits
| Hospital Outpatient Areas | Clinic times, department signage and patient information line up along a wide blue board in a hospital outpatient area, the long span keeping a floor's notices together and the calm colour suiting a clinical setting. |
| University Lecture Buildings | Where a lecture building moves hundreds of students between classes, a wide blue board carries timetables, room changes and exam notices across its full width, its dependable colour suiting the architecture and its locked doors guarding the content. |
| Council and Civic Halls | Public information, statutory notices and service updates spread across a wide blue board in a council or civic hall, the long surface holding a full set and the official blue matching a formal interior. |
| Corporate Office Floors | Through a large corporate office floor, a wide blue board gathers policies, schedules and team notices in one organised run, the cool tone keeping a designed workspace looking in order. |
| Leisure and Sports Centres | Class timetables, membership information and safety notices fill a wide blue board in a leisure or sports centre, the broad span suiting a varied programme and the locked doors keeping a busy display tidy. |
| Station and Transport Concourses | Beside a station or transport concourse, a wide blue board holds timetables, service notices and travel information for large numbers of people, the dual locked doors keeping it orderly where it goes unsupervised. |

NB5018B is a Fire Resistant Tamperproof Blue Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. The widest board in the range, a dual-door lockable, fire-certified display case, independently tested as a full composite to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, with clear PETG doors rated to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y. Dimensions 1800mm x 1200mm. Weight 35kg. Cool blue felt surface that holds pins and staples behind two lockable shatterproof PETG doors, set in a satin silver anodised aluminium frame with rounded safety corners and snap-on corner covers, 20mm internal clearance, landscape orientation only, a concealed wall mount kit and a two year guarantee, made in the UK. Used by hospitals, universities, councils and corporate buildings across the UK. Also available in grey, green and red, and in sizes from 600mm x 900mm up to 2400mm x 1200mm. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK delivery.
Colour does more on a board this size than people expect. A cool blue felt reads as calm and dependable, so a wide display crowded with notices still looks organised rather than chaotic, which matters in the considered interior of a school, hospital or civic building. The blue gives information an official, settled feel, the sort a public space wants on a wall everyone passes several times a day. It is the tone that quietly signals a place has its affairs in order, and against neutral walls and signage it sits comfortably, never pulling focus from the notices it carries.
The board's other defining quality is its reach. Built to run the length of a long wall, it replaces a scattering of small boards with one continuous run that people quickly learn to check, so a department's information lives in a single place rather than spread around the building. Rather than a single door it carries two, each locking independently across the width so the whole display stays secure, and splitting the span keeps each door a sensible size to open. Staff can reach one half without disturbing the other, which keeps updating a busy board quick and tidy.
The construction is made for years of public use. The frame is satin silver aluminium, its corners rounded for safety and capped with snap-on covers that hide the fixings, leaving a clean face with nothing for a passer-by to pick at. The blue felt accepts pins and staples across the full width, with depth behind the glazing to layer notices rather than pin a single flat sheet. Both doors are glazed in shatterproof PETG rather than glass, so a knock in a busy corridor leaves no cracks or shards.
What a fire officer signs against is the whole board, not just its lining. The assembled unit is rated to BS 476 Class 0 across Parts 6 and 7 and to BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, with the clear PETG of both doors certified separately to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y, so the certificate describes the object on the wall as a finished build rather than a set of materials. The board mounts landscape only and, being heavy at this size, is a two-person job to hang on a solid wall. A wall mount kit and a two year guarantee come with it, ready for a public corridor or escape route.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Wide Blue Tamperproof Noticeboard
Q: What is the best wide noticeboard for a hospital or university corridor?
A: The NB5018B is the strongest choice for a long hospital or campus corridor. It measures 1800mm by 1200mm, the widest in the range, with two lockable doors and a cool blue felt that takes pins and staples. Tested to BS 476 Class 0 as a complete unit, it meets the fire rules a public building works to.
Q: How do the two locking doors work?
A: Each of the two doors locks on its own, both opening with the same key. Because an 1800mm board would be awkward behind one door, the pair divides it into two manageable panels that still lock the whole width shut. The clear fronts are shatterproof PETG, certified separately to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y.
Q: How do you keep a large public noticeboard tamperproof?
A: Locking both doors leaves nothing on the board adjustable without a key, which only staff hold. Snap-on corner covers hide the wall fixings, so the board cannot be unscrewed from the front, and the PETG is shatterproof against knocks. The full 1800mm display stays as posted.
Q: Is this noticeboard suitable for a hospital?
A: Yes. In hospitals this board lines outpatient corridors and concourses, holding clinic times, wayfinding and patient safety notices along its 1800mm width. One continuous run keeps a department's information together, the calm blue suits a clinical space, and the composite fire certification satisfies NHS building rules.
Q: Is this suitable for a university or school?
A: Yes. Universities and colleges fit this board in lecture buildings and busy hallways for timetables, room changes and exam information. Its width gathers a faculty's notices in one place, the dependable blue keeps a crowded wall looking ordered, and the locked doors stop posted information being changed.
Q: How is this noticeboard fixed to the wall?
A: Two people are needed to fit it, as the board weighs 35kg and hangs in landscape orientation only. The supplied wall mount kit fixes it to a solid wall, and snap-on corner covers hide the screws. Once a door is unlocked, notices go up and come down in seconds on pins or staples.
Q: What size is this noticeboard and how heavy is it?
A: 1800mm x 1200mm, weighing 35kg. It is the widest board Displaysense makes in this range, landscape only, with 20mm of clearance behind the twin doors. The blue felt covers the full width and takes pins and staples anywhere across it.
Q: How does this compare with the square NB5012B?
A: The NB5018B spans 1800mm with two doors, while the NB5012B is a 1200mm square with one. Each shows blue felt behind locked, shatterproof PETG, with the same BS 476 Class 0 composite certification. Pick the wide board for a long corridor or concourse, and the square where a wall is tall or evenly proportioned.
Q: Do I need a board this wide?
A: Match the board to the wall. Where a corridor, concourse or large reception runs long with plenty to display, the 1800mm width earns its place. A tall or compact wall is better served by the 1200mm square or a smaller board. The locks and fire rating are the same throughout.
Q: How do you keep notices readable on a large blue board?
A: Across the full 1800mm width notices stay clear, because the matt PETG diffuses ceiling light instead of mirroring it. The cool blue behind the text sits quietly and adds no glare of its own. Being shatterproof as well as matt, the glazing protects a large display while keeping it easy to read.
Q: Is this noticeboard available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Delivery to the UK mainland is free and the board is made in the UK. Displaysense is based in Hertfordshire and has equipped UK hospitals, universities and councils with display products since 1978. Every order carries a 28-day returns window, and large orders are scheduled to suit the site.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. Besides blue, the 1800mm x 1200mm board is made in grey, green and red felt. The tamperproof range starts at 600mm x 900mm and reaches 2400mm x 1200mm. Each size keeps the same lockable doors, fire-rated felt and BS 476 Class 0 composite certification.

Q: Do I need a board this wide?
A: Match the board to the wall. Where a corridor, concourse or large reception runs long with plenty to display, the 1800mm width earns its place. A tall or compact wall is better served by the 1200mm square or a smaller board. The locks and fire rating are the same throughout.
Q: How do you keep notices readable on a large blue board?
A: Across the full 1800mm width notices stay clear, because the matt PETG diffuses ceiling light instead of mirroring it. The cool blue behind the text sits quietly and adds no glare of its own. Being shatterproof as well as matt, the glazing protects a large display while keeping it easy to read.
Q: Is this noticeboard available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Delivery to the UK mainland is free and the board is made in the UK. Displaysense is based in Hertfordshire and has equipped UK hospitals, universities and councils with display products since 1978. Every order carries a 28-day returns window, and large orders are scheduled to suit the site.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. Besides blue, the 1800mm x 1200mm board is made in grey, green and red felt. The tamperproof range starts at 600mm x 900mm and reaches 2400mm x 1200mm. Each size keeps the same lockable doors, fire-rated felt and BS 476 Class 0 composite certification.

Fitting a Wide Board to a Public Corridor
On a long public wall, one board can replace a scattering of smaller ones, but it has to stay readable, secure and in keeping with the space, so colour and fire rating matter as much as the width. The guides below cover choosing a board for your space, how fire-compliant display works in schools and universities, and how colour shapes what people notice.
