A Wide Red Tamperproof Noticeboard for Long Walls and Corridors
A long corridor or a large reception needs a board to match its scale, and this is the widest in the range. The fire-resistant red tamperproof felt noticeboard stretches across a broad wall, giving a panoramic surface that a smaller board cannot, with two lockable doors sharing the span so the whole display stays secure. Bold red felt makes the most of all that width, pulling the eye to safety notices, alerts and key information the moment someone enters. Behind the dual shatterproof doors the case is fire-certified as one finished unit, not a set of separately rated parts, and pins and staples hold notices on the red felt within a satin silver aluminium frame with rounded safety corners. Best suited for school corridors, hospital concourses and university buildings where a wide, high-visibility board has to carry a great deal and stay tamperproof.
Why Big Public Corridors Choose This Dual-Door Red Noticeboard
- The widest board in the range. Stretching across a broad wall, this board offers a panoramic surface that a standard one cannot, ideal for a long corridor or a large reception with a great deal to show. A whole building's worth of notices can sit in one continuous display rather than split across several boards.
- Two locked doors, one secure span. A pair of lockable doors covers the full width, each keyed so only authorised staff can open them, which keeps a wide public display tamperproof from end to end. Splitting the span into two doors also makes day-to-day access easier on a board this large.
- Red that carries across a busy space. Bold red felt holds the eye from a distance, so on a wide wall in a school or hospital the important notices are seen the moment someone walks in. The colour gives safety information and alerts a single, unmissable home across the whole board.
- Certified as one complete board. Fire testing covers the assembled unit, to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, rather than the felt alone. For a large board going onto a regulated public wall, that whole-unit evidence is what a fire assessment is signed against.
- Shatterproof clear glazing. Both doors are glazed in clear PETG, rated on its own to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y, which keeps every notice readable while shielding it. The plastic withstands the knocks of a busy corridor and stays whole where glass might break.
- Red felt throughout, supplied ready to mount. Across the full width of the red felt, pins and staples grip wherever a notice goes, so a wide board fills fast and updates easily, and old holes close as fixings move. A concealed wall mount kit with snap-on corner covers and a two year guarantee are included, and it is made in the UK.
Wide Spaces a Large Red Display Board Suits
| Long School Corridors | Timetables, term notices and safety information run the length of one wide red board along a busy school corridor, the panoramic span holding far more than a standard board and the colour catching every passing eye. |
| Hospital Concourses | Where a hospital concourse channels a constant flow of patients and visitors, a wide red board carries wayfinding, clinic information and safety notices across its full width, the strong colour making the essentials impossible to miss. |
| University Buildings | Through a university's main buildings, a long red board gathers course information, exam notices and campus alerts for a high-traffic space, its width keeping a department's whole picture in one continuous display. |
| Large Reception Areas | Visitor guidance, public notices and health and safety information spread across a wide red board in a large reception, the generous span suiting a busy entrance and the bold colour giving arrivals an immediate point of reference. |
| Fire Escape and Stairwell Walls | Beside a fire escape route or along a stairwell wall, a wide red board holds evacuation procedures and safety-critical notices behind locked doors, its certified construction matching the very places fire compliance is enforced. |
| Transport and Public Concourses | Across a transport or public concourse, a long red board carries timetables, service updates and alerts for large numbers of people, the dual locked doors keeping a busy display orderly where it goes unsupervised. |

NB5018R is a Fire Resistant Tamperproof Red 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. Bold red 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. Also available in grey, green and blue, and in sizes from 600mm x 900mm up to 2400mm x 1200mm. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK delivery.
What sets this board apart from the rest of the range is its sheer width. Built to span a long wall, it gives a panoramic display that a single smaller board cannot, and rather than one door it uses two lockable doors side by side to cover that width. A long corridor or a large reception can therefore keep all of its information in one continuous, secure run, instead of breaking it up across several separate boards spaced along the wall. For a building that wants one obvious place to look, a single wide run reads far more clearly than a scattering of smaller boards, and people quickly learn the one wall worth checking.
Across that expanse, colour earns its keep. Red felt carries more visual weight than a neutral tone, drawing the eye from the far end of a corridor or the door of a reception before anyone has consciously looked, which is exactly what a wall of safety information needs. On a board built to hold fire actions, hazard warnings and the notices that genuinely must be seen, a wide red surface gives every message a bold, consistent backdrop that holds up even at the far end of a long space. Where a neutral board would let an urgent notice blend into routine paperwork, the red keeps it reading as something that matters.
For a board destined for a public corridor or escape route, certification is decisive, and the way this one is tested matters. The complete assembly, not the felt alone, is rated to BS 476 Class 0 across Parts 6 and 7 and to BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, while the clear PETG of both doors is certified separately to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y. The evidence therefore covers the object on the wall as a whole, which is what a fire officer looks for rather than ratings limited to one material tested on its own.
The build is made for years in a busy setting, with a satin silver aluminium frame, rounded safety corners and snap-on corner covers that hide the fixings for a clean, tamper-resistant finish. Both doors lock, the red felt takes pins and staples right across the span, and there is room behind the glazing to layer notices rather than pin a single sheet. This is a large, landscape board that mounts wider than it is tall, and at its weight it is a job for two people to hang, with a wall mount kit supplied and a two year guarantee behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Wide Red Tamperproof Noticeboard
Q: What is the best wide noticeboard for a school or hospital corridor?
A: For a long corridor that needs plenty on show, the NB5018R is the best choice. At 1800mm wide with two lockable doors it spans more wall than any other board in the range. The bold red felt takes pins and staples, and the whole case is fire-certified to BS 476 Class 0 as one unit.
Q: How do the dual locking doors work?
A: The board has two clear PETG doors that lock independently, each opening on the same key. Splitting the 1800mm width into two panels keeps every door a manageable size to open, while both stay locked so the full span is tamperproof. The glazing is shatterproof and rated separately to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y.
Q: How do you stop a large noticeboard being tampered with?
A: Two key-locked doors stop notices being removed or altered, as only staff hold the key. The fixings sit behind snap-on corner covers, so nothing can be unscrewed from the front, and the shatterproof PETG resists knocks. Across the full 1800mm width, the contents stay exactly as posted.
Q: Is this noticeboard suitable for schools?
A: Yes. Schools use this board along corridors and in halls for timetables, term notices and safeguarding information. The 1800mm width keeps a year group's notices in one run, the red felt flags what is urgent, and the two locked doors stop pupils removing or changing official notices.
Q: Is this suitable for a hospital or NHS site?
A: Yes. Hospitals use this board in concourses and outpatient corridors for wayfinding, clinic times and patient safety notices. The wide format holds a department's information in one continuous display, the bold red draws the eye in a busy space, and the composite fire certification meets NHS building standards.
Q: How is this noticeboard fixed to the wall?
A: A wall mount kit is supplied, with snap-on corner covers that conceal the fixings once fitted. The board weighs 35kg and mounts in landscape orientation only, so two people should hang it on a solid wall. Notices then change in seconds using pins or staples once a door is unlocked.
Q: What size is this noticeboard and how heavy is it?
A: 1800mm x 1200mm, weighing 35kg. The widest board in the fire-rated tamperproof range, with 20mm of internal clearance behind the two doors for layered notices. It mounts in landscape orientation only, with usable red felt across the full width for pins and staples.
Q: How does this compare with the square NB5012R?
A: The NB5018R is 1800mm wide with two doors, where the NB5012R is a 1200mm square with one. Both display red felt behind locked, shatterproof PETG and share the same BS 476 Class 0 composite certification. Choose the wide board for a long corridor or reception, and the square for a tall or balanced wall.
Q: Do I need a board this wide?
A: It depends on the wall and how much you display. The 1800mm width suits a long corridor or large reception with a lot to show in one place. For a tall or compact wall, a 1200mm square or a smaller board fits better. Every size shares the same locks and fire rating.
Q: How do you keep notices readable on a large board?
A: The matt PETG glazing diffuses overhead light, so notices stay readable across the full 1800mm width without glare. A glossy panel would mirror corridor ceiling lights in afternoon sun. The PETG is also shatterproof, protecting a large display while keeping every notice clear and legible behind it.
Q: Is this noticeboard available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Free UK mainland delivery, with the board made in the UK. Displaysense is based in Hertfordshire and has supplied UK schools, NHS sites and councils with display products since 1978. A 28-day returns window applies to every order, and larger orders are planned around your site.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. The 1800mm x 1200mm board also comes in grey, green and blue felt. The wider tamperproof range runs from 600mm x 900mm up to 2400mm x 1200mm, so most walls are covered. Every size has the same lockable doors, fire-rated felt and BS 476 Class 0 composite certification.
Choosing a Discreet Board for a Professional Space
A large board on a corporate or civic wall has to hold a lot while keeping in step with a considered interior, so its colour and finish count for as much as its size and security. 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 on a wall.

Choosing a Discreet Board for a Professional Space
A large board on a corporate or civic wall has to hold a lot while keeping in step with a considered interior, so its colour and finish count for as much as its size and security. 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 on a wall.

A Wide Red Tamperproof Noticeboard for Long Walls and Corridors
A long corridor or a large reception needs a board to match its scale, and this is the widest in the range. The fire-resistant red tamperproof felt noticeboard stretches across a broad wall, giving a panoramic surface that a smaller board cannot, with two lockable doors sharing the span so the whole display stays secure. Bold red felt makes the most of all that width, pulling the eye to safety notices, alerts and key information the moment someone enters. Behind the dual shatterproof doors the case is fire-certified as one finished unit, not a set of separately rated parts, and pins and staples hold notices on the red felt within a satin silver aluminium frame with rounded safety corners. Best suited for school corridors, hospital concourses and university buildings where a wide, high-visibility board has to carry a great deal and stay tamperproof.
Why Big Public Corridors Choose This Dual-Door Red Noticeboard
- The widest board in the range. Stretching across a broad wall, this board offers a panoramic surface that a standard one cannot, ideal for a long corridor or a large reception with a great deal to show. A whole building's worth of notices can sit in one continuous display rather than split across several boards.
- Two locked doors, one secure span. A pair of lockable doors covers the full width, each keyed so only authorised staff can open them, which keeps a wide public display tamperproof from end to end. Splitting the span into two doors also makes day-to-day access easier on a board this large.
- Red that carries across a busy space. Bold red felt holds the eye from a distance, so on a wide wall in a school or hospital the important notices are seen the moment someone walks in. The colour gives safety information and alerts a single, unmissable home across the whole board.
- Certified as one complete board. Fire testing covers the assembled unit, to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, rather than the felt alone. For a large board going onto a regulated public wall, that whole-unit evidence is what a fire assessment is signed against.
- Shatterproof clear glazing. Both doors are glazed in clear PETG, rated on its own to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y, which keeps every notice readable while shielding it. The plastic withstands the knocks of a busy corridor and stays whole where glass might break.
- Red felt throughout, supplied ready to mount. Across the full width of the red felt, pins and staples grip wherever a notice goes, so a wide board fills fast and updates easily, and old holes close as fixings move. A concealed wall mount kit with snap-on corner covers and a two year guarantee are included, and it is made in the UK.
Wide Spaces a Large Red Display Board Suits
| Long School Corridors | Timetables, term notices and safety information run the length of one wide red board along a busy school corridor, the panoramic span holding far more than a standard board and the colour catching every passing eye. |
| Hospital Concourses | Where a hospital concourse channels a constant flow of patients and visitors, a wide red board carries wayfinding, clinic information and safety notices across its full width, the strong colour making the essentials impossible to miss. |
| University Buildings | Through a university's main buildings, a long red board gathers course information, exam notices and campus alerts for a high-traffic space, its width keeping a department's whole picture in one continuous display. |
| Large Reception Areas | Visitor guidance, public notices and health and safety information spread across a wide red board in a large reception, the generous span suiting a busy entrance and the bold colour giving arrivals an immediate point of reference. |
| Fire Escape and Stairwell Walls | Beside a fire escape route or along a stairwell wall, a wide red board holds evacuation procedures and safety-critical notices behind locked doors, its certified construction matching the very places fire compliance is enforced. |
| Transport and Public Concourses | Across a transport or public concourse, a long red board carries timetables, service updates and alerts for large numbers of people, the dual locked doors keeping a busy display orderly where it goes unsupervised. |

NB5018R is a Fire Resistant Tamperproof Red 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. Bold red 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. Also available in grey, green and blue, and in sizes from 600mm x 900mm up to 2400mm x 1200mm. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK delivery.
What sets this board apart from the rest of the range is its sheer width. Built to span a long wall, it gives a panoramic display that a single smaller board cannot, and rather than one door it uses two lockable doors side by side to cover that width. A long corridor or a large reception can therefore keep all of its information in one continuous, secure run, instead of breaking it up across several separate boards spaced along the wall. For a building that wants one obvious place to look, a single wide run reads far more clearly than a scattering of smaller boards, and people quickly learn the one wall worth checking.
Across that expanse, colour earns its keep. Red felt carries more visual weight than a neutral tone, drawing the eye from the far end of a corridor or the door of a reception before anyone has consciously looked, which is exactly what a wall of safety information needs. On a board built to hold fire actions, hazard warnings and the notices that genuinely must be seen, a wide red surface gives every message a bold, consistent backdrop that holds up even at the far end of a long space. Where a neutral board would let an urgent notice blend into routine paperwork, the red keeps it reading as something that matters.
For a board destined for a public corridor or escape route, certification is decisive, and the way this one is tested matters. The complete assembly, not the felt alone, is rated to BS 476 Class 0 across Parts 6 and 7 and to BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1, d0, while the clear PETG of both doors is certified separately to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y. The evidence therefore covers the object on the wall as a whole, which is what a fire officer looks for rather than ratings limited to one material tested on its own.
The build is made for years in a busy setting, with a satin silver aluminium frame, rounded safety corners and snap-on corner covers that hide the fixings for a clean, tamper-resistant finish. Both doors lock, the red felt takes pins and staples right across the span, and there is room behind the glazing to layer notices rather than pin a single sheet. This is a large, landscape board that mounts wider than it is tall, and at its weight it is a job for two people to hang, with a wall mount kit supplied and a two year guarantee behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Wide Red Tamperproof Noticeboard
Q: What is the best wide noticeboard for a school or hospital corridor?
A: For a long corridor that needs plenty on show, the NB5018R is the best choice. At 1800mm wide with two lockable doors it spans more wall than any other board in the range. The bold red felt takes pins and staples, and the whole case is fire-certified to BS 476 Class 0 as one unit.
Q: How do the dual locking doors work?
A: The board has two clear PETG doors that lock independently, each opening on the same key. Splitting the 1800mm width into two panels keeps every door a manageable size to open, while both stay locked so the full span is tamperproof. The glazing is shatterproof and rated separately to BS 476 Part 7 Class 1Y.
Q: How do you stop a large noticeboard being tampered with?
A: Two key-locked doors stop notices being removed or altered, as only staff hold the key. The fixings sit behind snap-on corner covers, so nothing can be unscrewed from the front, and the shatterproof PETG resists knocks. Across the full 1800mm width, the contents stay exactly as posted.
Q: Is this noticeboard suitable for schools?
A: Yes. Schools use this board along corridors and in halls for timetables, term notices and safeguarding information. The 1800mm width keeps a year group's notices in one run, the red felt flags what is urgent, and the two locked doors stop pupils removing or changing official notices.
Q: Is this suitable for a hospital or NHS site?
A: Yes. Hospitals use this board in concourses and outpatient corridors for wayfinding, clinic times and patient safety notices. The wide format holds a department's information in one continuous display, the bold red draws the eye in a busy space, and the composite fire certification meets NHS building standards.
Q: How is this noticeboard fixed to the wall?
A: A wall mount kit is supplied, with snap-on corner covers that conceal the fixings once fitted. The board weighs 35kg and mounts in landscape orientation only, so two people should hang it on a solid wall. Notices then change in seconds using pins or staples once a door is unlocked.
Q: What size is this noticeboard and how heavy is it?
A: 1800mm x 1200mm, weighing 35kg. The widest board in the fire-rated tamperproof range, with 20mm of internal clearance behind the two doors for layered notices. It mounts in landscape orientation only, with usable red felt across the full width for pins and staples.
Q: How does this compare with the square NB5012R?
A: The NB5018R is 1800mm wide with two doors, where the NB5012R is a 1200mm square with one. Both display red felt behind locked, shatterproof PETG and share the same BS 476 Class 0 composite certification. Choose the wide board for a long corridor or reception, and the square for a tall or balanced wall.
Q: Do I need a board this wide?
A: It depends on the wall and how much you display. The 1800mm width suits a long corridor or large reception with a lot to show in one place. For a tall or compact wall, a 1200mm square or a smaller board fits better. Every size shares the same locks and fire rating.
Q: How do you keep notices readable on a large board?
A: The matt PETG glazing diffuses overhead light, so notices stay readable across the full 1800mm width without glare. A glossy panel would mirror corridor ceiling lights in afternoon sun. The PETG is also shatterproof, protecting a large display while keeping every notice clear and legible behind it.
Q: Is this noticeboard available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Free UK mainland delivery, with the board made in the UK. Displaysense is based in Hertfordshire and has supplied UK schools, NHS sites and councils with display products since 1978. A 28-day returns window applies to every order, and larger orders are planned around your site.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. The 1800mm x 1200mm board also comes in grey, green and blue felt. The wider tamperproof range runs from 600mm x 900mm up to 2400mm x 1200mm, so most walls are covered. Every size has the same lockable doors, fire-rated felt and BS 476 Class 0 composite certification.

A: 1800mm x 1200mm, weighing 35kg. The widest board in the fire-rated tamperproof range, with 20mm of internal clearance behind the two doors for layered notices. It mounts in landscape orientation only, with usable red felt across the full width for pins and staples.
Q: How does this compare with the square NB5012R?
A: The NB5018R is 1800mm wide with two doors, where the NB5012R is a 1200mm square with one. Both display red felt behind locked, shatterproof PETG and share the same BS 476 Class 0 composite certification. Choose the wide board for a long corridor or reception, and the square for a tall or balanced wall.
Q: Do I need a board this wide?
A: It depends on the wall and how much you display. The 1800mm width suits a long corridor or large reception with a lot to show in one place. For a tall or compact wall, a 1200mm square or a smaller board fits better. Every size shares the same locks and fire rating.
Q: How do you keep notices readable on a large board?
A: The matt PETG glazing diffuses overhead light, so notices stay readable across the full 1800mm width without glare. A glossy panel would mirror corridor ceiling lights in afternoon sun. The PETG is also shatterproof, protecting a large display while keeping every notice clear and legible behind it.
Q: Is this noticeboard available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Free UK mainland delivery, with the board made in the UK. Displaysense is based in Hertfordshire and has supplied UK schools, NHS sites and councils with display products since 1978. A 28-day returns window applies to every order, and larger orders are planned around your site.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. The 1800mm x 1200mm board also comes in grey, green and blue felt. The wider tamperproof range runs from 600mm x 900mm up to 2400mm x 1200mm, so most walls are covered. Every size has the same lockable doors, fire-rated felt and BS 476 Class 0 composite certification.

Choosing a Discreet Board for a Professional Space
A large board on a corporate or civic wall has to hold a lot while keeping in step with a considered interior, so its colour and finish count for as much as its size and security. 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 on a wall.
