The Widest Fire-Rated Blue Noticeboard for High-Traffic Walls
When a wall is long enough that even a wide board leaves space unused, this is the noticeboard that fills it. The largest in the fire-resistant tamperproof range, it stretches across a major corridor or concourse and turns a whole expanse of wall into one secure, readable display. Bold blue felt lifts pinned content off the surface for strong contrast, so notices read at a glance from down a busy corridor, while two lockable shatterproof doors keep the entire span tamperproof. Certification is earned by the finished board as a single composite, not by its materials in isolation, which is what an escape route or a high-risk corridor demands. Best suited for school corridors, hospital concourses and university campuses where the longest possible wall has to stay informed, compliant and secure.
Why High-Risk Corridors Choose the Largest Blue Noticeboard
- The widest board made: Stretching the full length of a long wall, it carries far more than a standard or even a wide board, room for a whole building's notices in one place. Where several boards would otherwise compete, one large display keeps everything together and consistent.
- Bold blue for strong contrast: Pinned notices stand out against the deep blue felt, so a reader takes in a busy board from down a corridor rather than up close. On a display this large, that contrast is what stops a wall of paper turning into visual noise.
- Two locks across the whole span: A pair of keyed doors covers the entire width, both on one key, so nothing on a board this size changes without staff. Splitting the span into two doors keeps each a sensible size to open even where a corridor is busy.
- Certified as one finished unit: Fire testing is done on the assembled board, to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, not on the felt alone. For a large board on an escape route, that whole-unit evidence is exactly what a fire assessor signs against.
- Shatterproof glazing on both doors: Clear PETG fronts each door, rated alone to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y, holding notices flat and protected behind it. The plastic takes the knocks of a high-traffic concourse and stays whole where a sheet of glass this size could crack.
- Blue felt across the span, ready to fill: Notices pin or staple anywhere on the felt, so even the largest board fills quickly and updates without fuss, and old marks close as fixings move. A concealed wall mount kit with snap-on corner covers and a two year guarantee come supplied, and it is made in the UK.
Where a Long Blue Display Board Works Best
| School Corridors | Term dates, timetables, safety notices and pupil information run the full length of a school corridor on one large board, the bold blue helping pupils pick out what they need as they pass and the locks keeping the display intact. |
| Hospital Concourses | Where a hospital concourse channels patients and visitors past in numbers, the largest board carries wayfinding, clinic times and safety information across a long wall, its strong contrast readable on the move. |
| University Campus Buildings | Across a university campus building, a large blue board gathers timetables, room changes and department notices in one place, the width taking a whole faculty's information and the locked doors guarding it. |
| Council and Civic Buildings | Public notices, statutory information and service updates fill the largest board in a council or civic building, the long span holding a full set and the bold blue making official information easy to find. |
| Transport and Station Concourses | Beside a station or transport concourse, a large blue board holds timetables, service notices and travel information for high numbers of people, the locked doors keeping it orderly where it is rarely supervised. |
| Escape Routes and Stairwells | Along an escape route or stairwell, where fire compliance is checked closely, the composite-certified board can carry evacuation notices and safety signage on a surface rated as a whole unit rather than by its materials alone. |
Is the Largest More Than You Need?
Where a wall is shorter, the Fire Resistant Tamperproof Blue Felt Noticeboard 1800mm x 1200mm brings the same dual-door, lockable, fire-certified build in a slightly more compact size. This board also comes in red, green and grey to suit the setting. Order with free UK mainland delivery.

NB5024B is a Fire Resistant Tamperproof Blue Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. The largest 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 2400mm x 1200mm. Weight 42kg. Bold 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 schools, hospitals, universities and councils across the UK for high-traffic corridors and escape routes.

This is the largest board in the fire-resistant tamperproof range, and its size is the point. Built to span the longest walls, it turns a major corridor or concourse into a single display, holding what would otherwise need two or three separate boards spaced along the same route. Keeping everything on one surface means a reader checks one place rather than hunting from board to board, and the information stays consistent along the whole wall instead of drifting out of step between scattered frames. In a station, a hospital concourse or a large reception, that consolidation is often worth as much as the raw capacity.
On a board this large, legibility decides whether it works, and colour does much of that. The deep blue felt throws pinned notices forward, giving the kind of contrast a reader takes in from across a concourse rather than only at arm's length, so a timetable or a safety notice carries to the far side of a wide space. A pale or busy background would let a large display dissolve into clutter the further back you stand, whereas the bold blue holds each notice distinct. It is a colour chosen for reach across a long wall, picked for how far it reads rather than how it looks up close.
Across so wide a span, controlling what appears matters, and two locking doors handle it. Each turns on the same key, held by staff, so no notice along the board is removed, covered or altered by a passer-by, and dividing the width into two doors keeps each one a workable size to open even when people are moving past. Both are glazed in shatterproof PETG rather than glass, ready for the trolley knocks and shoulder-bumps of a high-traffic concourse, and the wall fixings disappear behind snap-on corner covers.
Beneath the scale sits a fire specification that applies to the entire board, which is what an escape route requires. Both PETG doors hold their own BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y rating, and the board as a built unit is certified to BS 476 Class 0 across Parts 6 and 7 and to BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, so the certificate describes the object on the wall rather than its parts in isolation. The satin silver aluminium frame carries rounded safety corners for heavy use, blue felt runs the full width for pins and staples, and the board hangs in landscape only. As the heaviest in the range it is a two-person fit, with a wall mount kit and two year guarantee included.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Large Blue Tamperproof Noticeboard
Q: What is the best large noticeboard for a busy school or hospital corridor?
A: For a long, busy school or hospital corridor, the NB5024B is the best choice. At 2400mm wide it is the largest board in the range, with two lockable doors and a bold blue felt that takes pins and staples. The whole case is fire-certified to BS 476 Class 0, so it suits a corridor or escape route.
Q: How do the two locking doors work on a board this size?
A: The front is split into two PETG doors, turned by one shared key. Spanning 2400mm with a single door would be unwieldy, so a pair shares the load, each easy to open while both secure the full width. The glazing is shatterproof, carrying its own BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y rating apart from the composite board rating.
Q: How do you keep the largest noticeboard tamperproof?
A: Both doors lock on a key kept by staff, so nothing on the 2400mm span is changed by a passer-by. Snap-on corner covers hide the wall fixings, leaving nothing to unscrew at the front, and the shatterproof PETG resists knocks. The whole display holds exactly as posted.
Q: Is this noticeboard suitable for a school or university?
A: Yes. Schools and universities use this board along main corridors and in halls for timetables, term dates, exam notices and safety information. The 2400mm width holds a whole year group's or faculty's information at once, the bold blue keeps it readable in passing, and the locked doors stop notices being altered.
Q: Is this suitable for a hospital or NHS site?
A: Yes. In hospitals and NHS buildings this board lines concourses and main corridors, carrying wayfinding, clinic information and patient safety notices. The full 2400mm holds a department's information in one place, the bold blue reads clearly in a high-traffic area, and the whole-unit fire certification satisfies NHS building rules.
Q: How is a board this large fixed to the wall?
A: Fitting calls for two people, since the board is the heaviest in the range at 42kg and hangs landscape only. The supplied wall mount kit secures it to a solid wall, with snap-on corner covers tidying the fixings away. From then on, a key unlocks a door and notices are pinned or stapled in moments.
Q: What size is this noticeboard and how heavy is it?
A: 2400mm x 1200mm, weighing 42kg. No board in the tamperproof range is larger or heavier. It mounts landscape only and leaves 20mm of depth behind its pair of doors, with bold blue felt reaching the full width for pins and staples.
Q: How does this compare with the 1800mm NB5018B?
A: The NB5024B spans 2400mm, where the NB5018B runs to 1800mm, and both use two lockable doors over blue felt with the same BS 476 Class 0 composite certification. The difference is reach and weight, 42kg against 35kg. Choose the 2400mm board for the longest walls and concourses, and the 1800mm for a slightly shorter run.
Q: Do I need the largest size?
A: It depends on the wall. The 2400mm width earns its place on a long corridor, concourse or large hall with a great deal to display in one run. For a shorter wall, the 1800mm board or a smaller size fits better. Every size shares the same locks, felt and fire certification.
Q: How do you keep notices readable on such a large board?
A: Across the full 2400mm, notices stay readable because the matt PETG diffuses overhead light instead of mirroring it, and the bold blue felt throws each notice forward for contrast at a distance. A glossy panel or pale background would lose clarity on a board this large. The PETG is shatterproof as well as matt.
Q: Is this noticeboard available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. The board is UK-made and ships free to the UK mainland. Displaysense has fitted out schools, hospitals, universities and councils since 1978, and a 28-day returns window applies to every order, with a UK team on hand for advice.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. Besides blue, the 2400mm x 1200mm board comes in red, green and grey. Across the tamperproof line the sizes start at 600mm x 900mm and rise through 1200mm, 1800mm and this largest format, each with the same lockable doors, fire-rated felt and BS 476 Class 0 composite rating.
Sizing Up the Largest Fire-Rated Board
Choosing the biggest board in a range is partly about the wall and partly about how much has to stay on show at once, with colour and fire compliance weighing alongside 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: Across the full 2400mm, notices stay readable because the matt PETG diffuses overhead light instead of mirroring it, and the bold blue felt throws each notice forward for contrast at a distance. A glossy panel or pale background would lose clarity on a board this large. The PETG is shatterproof as well as matt.
Q: Is this noticeboard available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. The board is UK-made and ships free to the UK mainland. Displaysense has fitted out schools, hospitals, universities and councils since 1978, and a 28-day returns window applies to every order, with a UK team on hand for advice.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. Besides blue, the 2400mm x 1200mm board comes in red, green and grey. Across the tamperproof line the sizes start at 600mm x 900mm and rise through 1200mm, 1800mm and this largest format, each with the same lockable doors, fire-rated felt and BS 476 Class 0 composite rating.

The Widest Fire-Rated Blue Noticeboard for High-Traffic Walls
When a wall is long enough that even a wide board leaves space unused, this is the noticeboard that fills it. The largest in the fire-resistant tamperproof range, it stretches across a major corridor or concourse and turns a whole expanse of wall into one secure, readable display. Bold blue felt lifts pinned content off the surface for strong contrast, so notices read at a glance from down a busy corridor, while two lockable shatterproof doors keep the entire span tamperproof. Certification is earned by the finished board as a single composite, not by its materials in isolation, which is what an escape route or a high-risk corridor demands. Best suited for school corridors, hospital concourses and university campuses where the longest possible wall has to stay informed, compliant and secure.
Why High-Risk Corridors Choose the Largest Blue Noticeboard
- The widest board made: Stretching the full length of a long wall, it carries far more than a standard or even a wide board, room for a whole building's notices in one place. Where several boards would otherwise compete, one large display keeps everything together and consistent.
- Bold blue for strong contrast: Pinned notices stand out against the deep blue felt, so a reader takes in a busy board from down a corridor rather than up close. On a display this large, that contrast is what stops a wall of paper turning into visual noise.
- Two locks across the whole span: A pair of keyed doors covers the entire width, both on one key, so nothing on a board this size changes without staff. Splitting the span into two doors keeps each a sensible size to open even where a corridor is busy.
- Certified as one finished unit: Fire testing is done on the assembled board, to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, not on the felt alone. For a large board on an escape route, that whole-unit evidence is exactly what a fire assessor signs against.
- Shatterproof glazing on both doors: Clear PETG fronts each door, rated alone to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y, holding notices flat and protected behind it. The plastic takes the knocks of a high-traffic concourse and stays whole where a sheet of glass this size could crack.
- Blue felt across the span, ready to fill: Notices pin or staple anywhere on the felt, so even the largest board fills quickly and updates without fuss, and old marks close as fixings move. A concealed wall mount kit with snap-on corner covers and a two year guarantee come supplied, and it is made in the UK.
Where a Long Blue Display Board Works Best
| School Corridors | Term dates, timetables, safety notices and pupil information run the full length of a school corridor on one large board, the bold blue helping pupils pick out what they need as they pass and the locks keeping the display intact. |
| Hospital Concourses | Where a hospital concourse channels patients and visitors past in numbers, the largest board carries wayfinding, clinic times and safety information across a long wall, its strong contrast readable on the move. |
| University Campus Buildings | Across a university campus building, a large blue board gathers timetables, room changes and department notices in one place, the width taking a whole faculty's information and the locked doors guarding it. |
| Council and Civic Buildings | Public notices, statutory information and service updates fill the largest board in a council or civic building, the long span holding a full set and the bold blue making official information easy to find. |
| Transport and Station Concourses | Beside a station or transport concourse, a large blue board holds timetables, service notices and travel information for high numbers of people, the locked doors keeping it orderly where it is rarely supervised. |
| Escape Routes and Stairwells | Along an escape route or stairwell, where fire compliance is checked closely, the composite-certified board can carry evacuation notices and safety signage on a surface rated as a whole unit rather than by its materials alone. |
Is the Largest More Than You Need?
Where a wall is shorter, the Fire Resistant Tamperproof Blue Felt Noticeboard 1800mm x 1200mm brings the same dual-door, lockable, fire-certified build in a slightly more compact size. This board also comes in red, green and grey to suit the setting. Order with free UK mainland delivery.

NB5024B is a Fire Resistant Tamperproof Blue Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. The largest 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 2400mm x 1200mm. Weight 42kg. Bold 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 schools, hospitals, universities and councils across the UK for high-traffic corridors and escape routes. Also available in red, green and grey, and in sizes from 600mm x 900mm up to this 2400mm x 1200mm. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK delivery.
This is the largest board in the fire-resistant tamperproof range, and its size is the point. Built to span the longest walls, it turns a major corridor or concourse into a single display, holding what would otherwise need two or three separate boards spaced along the same route. Keeping everything on one surface means a reader checks one place rather than hunting from board to board, and the information stays consistent along the whole wall instead of drifting out of step between scattered frames. In a station, a hospital concourse or a large reception, that consolidation is often worth as much as the raw capacity.
On a board this large, legibility decides whether it works, and colour does much of that. The deep blue felt throws pinned notices forward, giving the kind of contrast a reader takes in from across a concourse rather than only at arm's length, so a timetable or a safety notice carries to the far side of a wide space. A pale or busy background would let a large display dissolve into clutter the further back you stand, whereas the bold blue holds each notice distinct. It is a colour chosen for reach across a long wall, picked for how far it reads rather than how it looks up close.
Across so wide a span, controlling what appears matters, and two locking doors handle it. Each turns on the same key, held by staff, so no notice along the board is removed, covered or altered by a passer-by, and dividing the width into two doors keeps each one a workable size to open even when people are moving past. Both are glazed in shatterproof PETG rather than glass, ready for the trolley knocks and shoulder-bumps of a high-traffic concourse, and the wall fixings disappear behind snap-on corner covers.
Beneath the scale sits a fire specification that applies to the entire board, which is what an escape route requires. Both PETG doors hold their own BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y rating, and the board as a built unit is certified to BS 476 Class 0 across Parts 6 and 7 and to BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, so the certificate describes the object on the wall rather than its parts in isolation. The satin silver aluminium frame carries rounded safety corners for heavy use, blue felt runs the full width for pins and staples, and the board hangs in landscape only. As the heaviest in the range it is a two-person fit, with a wall mount kit and two year guarantee included.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Large Blue Tamperproof Noticeboard
Q: What is the best large noticeboard for a busy school or hospital corridor?
A: For a long, busy school or hospital corridor, the NB5024B is the best choice. At 2400mm wide it is the largest board in the range, with two lockable doors and a bold blue felt that takes pins and staples. The whole case is fire-certified to BS 476 Class 0, so it suits a corridor or escape route.
Q: How do the two locking doors work on a board this size?
A: The front is split into two PETG doors, turned by one shared key. Spanning 2400mm with a single door would be unwieldy, so a pair shares the load, each easy to open while both secure the full width. The glazing is shatterproof, carrying its own BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y rating apart from the composite board rating.
Q: How do you keep the largest noticeboard tamperproof?
A: Both doors lock on a key kept by staff, so nothing on the 2400mm span is changed by a passer-by. Snap-on corner covers hide the wall fixings, leaving nothing to unscrew at the front, and the shatterproof PETG resists knocks. The whole display holds exactly as posted.
Q: Is this noticeboard suitable for a school or university?
A: Yes. Schools and universities use this board along main corridors and in halls for timetables, term dates, exam notices and safety information. The 2400mm width holds a whole year group's or faculty's information at once, the bold blue keeps it readable in passing, and the locked doors stop notices being altered.
Q: Is this suitable for a hospital or NHS site?
A: Yes. In hospitals and NHS buildings this board lines concourses and main corridors, carrying wayfinding, clinic information and patient safety notices. The full 2400mm holds a department's information in one place, the bold blue reads clearly in a high-traffic area, and the whole-unit fire certification satisfies NHS building rules.
Q: How is a board this large fixed to the wall?
A: Fitting calls for two people, since the board is the heaviest in the range at 42kg and hangs landscape only. The supplied wall mount kit secures it to a solid wall, with snap-on corner covers tidying the fixings away. From then on, a key unlocks a door and notices are pinned or stapled in moments.
Q: What size is this noticeboard and how heavy is it?
A: 2400mm x 1200mm, weighing 42kg. No board in the tamperproof range is larger or heavier. It mounts landscape only and leaves 20mm of depth behind its pair of doors, with bold blue felt reaching the full width for pins and staples.
Q: How does this compare with the 1800mm NB5018B?
A: The NB5024B spans 2400mm, where the NB5018B runs to 1800mm, and both use two lockable doors over blue felt with the same BS 476 Class 0 composite certification. The difference is reach and weight, 42kg against 35kg. Choose the 2400mm board for the longest walls and concourses, and the 1800mm for a slightly shorter run.
Q: Do I need the largest size?
A: It depends on the wall. The 2400mm width earns its place on a long corridor, concourse or large hall with a great deal to display in one run. For a shorter wall, the 1800mm board or a smaller size fits better. Every size shares the same locks, felt and fire certification.
Q: How do you keep notices readable on such a large board?
A: Across the full 2400mm, notices stay readable because the matt PETG diffuses overhead light instead of mirroring it, and the bold blue felt throws each notice forward for contrast at a distance. A glossy panel or pale background would lose clarity on a board this large. The PETG is shatterproof as well as matt.
Q: Is this noticeboard available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. The board is UK-made and ships free to the UK mainland. Displaysense has fitted out schools, hospitals, universities and councils since 1978, and a 28-day returns window applies to every order, with a UK team on hand for advice.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. Besides blue, the 2400mm x 1200mm board comes in red, green and grey. Across the tamperproof line the sizes start at 600mm x 900mm and rise through 1200mm, 1800mm and this largest format, each with the same lockable doors, fire-rated felt and BS 476 Class 0 composite rating.

Q: Is this suitable for a hospital or NHS site?
A: Yes. In hospitals and NHS buildings this board lines concourses and main corridors, carrying wayfinding, clinic information and patient safety notices. The full 2400mm holds a department's information in one place, the bold blue reads clearly in a high-traffic area, and the whole-unit fire certification satisfies NHS building rules.
Q: How is a board this large fixed to the wall?
A: Fitting calls for two people, since the board is the heaviest in the range at 42kg and hangs landscape only. The supplied wall mount kit secures it to a solid wall, with snap-on corner covers tidying the fixings away. From then on, a key unlocks a door and notices are pinned or stapled in moments.
Q: What size is this noticeboard and how heavy is it?
A: 2400mm x 1200mm, weighing 42kg. No board in the tamperproof range is larger or heavier. It mounts landscape only and leaves 20mm of depth behind its pair of doors, with bold blue felt reaching the full width for pins and staples.
Q: How does this compare with the 1800mm NB5018B?
A: The NB5024B spans 2400mm, where the NB5018B runs to 1800mm, and both use two lockable doors over blue felt with the same BS 476 Class 0 composite certification. The difference is reach and weight, 42kg against 35kg. Choose the 2400mm board for the longest walls and concourses, and the 1800mm for a slightly shorter run.
Q: Do I need the largest size?
A: It depends on the wall. The 2400mm width earns its place on a long corridor, concourse or large hall with a great deal to display in one run. For a shorter wall, the 1800mm board or a smaller size fits better. Every size shares the same locks, felt and fire certification.
Q: How do you keep notices readable on such a large board?
A: Across the full 2400mm, notices stay readable because the matt PETG diffuses overhead light instead of mirroring it, and the bold blue felt throws each notice forward for contrast at a distance. A glossy panel or pale background would lose clarity on a board this large. The PETG is shatterproof as well as matt.
Q: Is this noticeboard available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. The board is UK-made and ships free to the UK mainland. Displaysense has fitted out schools, hospitals, universities and councils since 1978, and a 28-day returns window applies to every order, with a UK team on hand for advice.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. Besides blue, the 2400mm x 1200mm board comes in red, green and grey. Across the tamperproof line the sizes start at 600mm x 900mm and rise through 1200mm, 1800mm and this largest format, each with the same lockable doors, fire-rated felt and BS 476 Class 0 composite rating.

Sizing Up the Largest Fire-Rated Board
Choosing the biggest board in a range is partly about the wall and partly about how much has to stay on show at once, with colour and fire compliance weighing alongside 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.
