Keep a Large Wall Composed with a Square Blue Noticeboard
A cool blue felt surface gives a big square board a calm, professional presence, so a wall packed with policies and notices still reads as orderly rather than cluttered. Certified as a complete composite to BS 476 Class 0 and, under the European standard EN 13501-1, Class B-s1 d0, it takes pins and staples, and with wrapped edges and no frame it sits flush and lines up with others for a wider run. In an office, reception or clinic that composed blue keeps a dense wall of information feeling managed rather than noisy, which is often the point of the board. British-made and guaranteed for two years, it offers a square 1200 face with generous room across a shared office wall. Best suited to offices, schools and hospitals where a professional space needs a clear, composed board that also meets fire-safety standards.
Why a Composite Fire Test Matters on a Large Board
- Blue felt that keeps a wall calm: A cool, even blue gives a large wall a composed, professional look, so a dense board of notices still reads as tidy rather than busy. It suits an office or reception where a clear display is taken in at a glance.
- Rated as a finished composite: Independent testing certifies the made-up board to BS 476 Class 0 and, under EN 13501-1, to Class B-s1 d0, covering the product as a whole. That result lets a professional building place it along a corridor or stair it must keep to fire standards.
- Room to spare on a broad wall: The square shape offers a wide, even area that carries a full run of policies, rotas and updates together, so one board serves a busy wall rather than several competing for space. It gives an office or reception a single, orderly place to check.
- A firm grip for pins and staples: The blue felt takes push pins and staples with an equally firm hold, so printed sheets, laminated notices and forms all stay put and lift away cleanly. A working wall can be refreshed as often as the week asks, the surface taking it without wear.
- Wrapped edges, no metal surround: Felt taken over the borders means no frame, so the board lies flush with a clean, modern line and nothing raised to catch a sleeve. Placed beside another, two sit together as one continuous surface where a single board would run out.
- British-built, guaranteed two years: British-built and covered by a two-year guarantee, the board comes with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings for a neat, finished result. It is a large, compliant display secured with little more to arrange before it goes up.
Where Offices and Clinics Put a Large Blue Board
| Offices and Corporate | Meeting-room approaches and shared corridors carry policies, rotas and updates on a composed blue display board, the calm tone keeping a dense wall ordered while the certified build suits a professional space that must meet fire rules on its main routes. |
| Schools and Colleges | Staffrooms and teaching corridors hold timetables, safeguarding notices and pupil information on a fire-rated blue surface, the even colour settling a busy wall while the square face gives room for a full term of material in one place. |
| Hospitals and Clinics | On clinic corridors and staff areas, a calm blue felt takes patient guidance and rotas, the quiet tone suiting a care setting while the whole-board rating holds a large communication board compliant where fire standards apply. |
| Local Authority Buildings | Civic offices and community centres show public information and staff notices on a composite-tested blue board, the measured colour reading as clear and official while the frameless finish keeps a shared wall looking modern and uncluttered. |
| Receptions and Waiting Areas | Welcome details and key notices meet visitors on a steady blue felt at front-of-house and waiting-room walls, the composed look making a calm first impression while the broad square face reads clearly for anyone arriving at the desk. |
| Corridors and Staffrooms | Along a busy corridor or in a shared staffroom the board carries day-to-day information at a size read in passing, the cool blue keeping the wall calm and settled while a whole-board fire rating lets it sit on a route where fire standards apply. |

NB7312B is a large square Unframed Fire-Resistant Blue Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. A frameless board with an edge-wrapped fire-rated blue felt surface, independently certified as a complete composite unit to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0, with no frame so it sits flush and boards butt together for wider coverage. Dimensions 1200mm x 1200mm. Weight 18.1kg. Fire-rated blue felt for pins and staples, unframed edge-wrapped construction, portrait or landscape mounting, wall mount kit included, made in the UK, two-year guarantee, indoor use. Used by offices, schools, hospitals and local authorities for policies, staff information and key notices in receptions, corridors, staffrooms and shared areas. Also available in a smaller size and in green and red, with an aluminium-framed fire-rated version for a defined edge. Displaysense, UK display specialist based in Hertfordshire since 1978. Free UK delivery.
Colour sets the mood of a board before a single notice goes up, and a cool, even blue reads as calm and professional, which is why it suits an office, a reception or a clinic where the wall should feel ordered rather than loud. Against that quiet ground black text stays clear and easy to scan, so a dense set of policies and updates still looks tidy, and a visitor or a member of staff takes in the wall without it feeling cluttered or urgent.
Independent testing certifies the whole board to Class 0 under BS 476 and, in the European classification, to Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, assessing the finished composite rather than its separate materials, so the rating describes the item actually on the wall. Because the certificate covers the complete product, the board can be placed along a corridor, a stair or a shared route that a building is required to keep to fire standards, and a facilities team can hold the certificate on file against its own fire-compliance records, ready to show whenever a building is reviewed or handed to a new tenant.
Measuring a square 1200 across and down, the board gives a wide, even working area that carries a whole run of notices in one place, so a busy office or staffroom wall shows policies, rotas and updates together rather than split across several smaller boards. With the felt folded over the edges and no frame added, the panel sits flush and borderless, nothing proud to snag a sleeve, and a pair butted together read as one continuous display where a single board would fall short.
A staple holds in the blue felt as securely as a push pin, and neither marks the surface, so a laminated notice and a light printout alike fix firmly and come away cleanly, leaving a working wall quick to update. Weighty but not unwieldy, it ships with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings, and a helper steadies the square face as it is brought level on a solid wall. British-made and covered for two years, it is meant for indoor use and kept away from the damp that would work into the felt, so a professional wall keeps its composed, cared-for look over a long working life.

Every detail of the NB7312B is set out in full below, from the large square blue felt and its edge-wrapped, frameless build to the two-year guarantee and the fire rating held under both BS 476 and BS EN 13501-1. A short note against each row spells out what the specification means in practice for a calm, professional display in an office, school or clinic setting.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Unframed fire-resistant noticeboard | A large square frameless blue felt board, rated as a single composite for a calm, compliant display across offices, receptions and corridors. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated blue felt | A cool blue on a fire-rated surface that keeps a busy wall composed and sets off black text in clear, readable contrast for quick scanning. |
| Board Size | 1200mm x 1200mm | A broad square face that keeps a whole run of notices in one place, so one large board does the work of several smaller ones dotted along a shared office wall. |
| Weight | 18.1kg | Heavy enough to feel solid yet within one person's reach to position, with a second pair of hands useful to hold it square while it is fixed. |
| Surface | Fire-rated blue felt, pins and staples | The blue felt holds push pins and staples right across the face, so printed and laminated notices stay put and peel away without a mark. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped fabric | Edges wrapped in felt leave no frame, so the panel lies flush, snags little and lets two boards run together as one continuous surface. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Square on every side, it mounts the same portrait or landscape, dropping onto a tall or wide wall and turning to fit the space available. |
| Fixings | Wall mount kit included | The box holds a wall mount kit and concealed fixings, so the board goes onto a solid wall the day it lands and finishes without visible screws. |
| Fire Certification | Class 0 by BS 476, B-s1 d0 by EN 13501-1 | Assessed independently to both recognised fire standards, so a specifier has documented proof to mount it along a protected route. |
| Fire Testing | Complete composite unit | Certified as the assembled composite rather than part by part, so the rating describes the actual board on the wall, not one component. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | Two years of cover stand behind the board against faults, giving a facilities or procurement team lasting confidence in a certified buy. |
| Origin | Made in the UK | A British build to recognised fire standards keeps the board's origin clear for teams that weigh UK sourcing alongside its rating. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Square Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: Which large fire-rated noticeboard is best for an office or reception?
A: The best large fire-rated noticeboard for an office or reception is the NB7312B, a square 1200mm x 1200mm unframed blue felt board rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. Its calm blue keeps a busy wall composed, the felt takes pins and staples, and it hangs either way on a professional, compliant wall.
Q: What fire rating does this blue display board carry?
A: The board is rated Class 0 under BS 476 and, in the European system, Class B-s1 d0 under BS EN 13501-1:2002. Both grades attach to the finished board, not its individual parts, so the item as a whole is proven fire-rated and clears a corridor, stair or shared route.
Q: Why choose blue rather than a brighter colour?
A: Blue is the composed, professional pick. A cool, even tone keeps a large wall looking calm and ordered, so a dense set of policies and notices still reads as tidy rather than busy. For an office, reception or clinic where a settled, unhurried look matters, this display board suits the setting.
Q: Can notices be fixed with staples as well as pins?
A: Each fixes securely here. A push pin sinks into the blue felt and a staple grips it just as firmly, so laminated notices and printed sheets alike stay put and come away without a mark. You are free to rearrange a working information board as often as the wall demands.
Q: How large is the square face and what is it for?
A: The board is a square 1200mm by 1200mm, a wide, balanced face made for holding a full run of notices at once. It suits a shared wall with plenty to show, letting policies, rotas and updates sit together on one bulletin board instead of being split across several smaller ones.
Q: Can this wall board be mounted portrait or landscape?
A: Yes. As a square it presents the same whichever way up it goes, so a tall or a wide wall takes it without change. A wall mount kit with concealed fixings is included, and though it is manageable for its size, the 18.1kg weight makes a second person useful to steady the face while it is fixed to the wall.
Q: How does this blue board compare with the red NB7312R?
A: Both are square 1200mm x 1200mm unframed, fire-certified boards taking pins and staples, so colour sets them apart. The blue NB7312B reads calm and professional, a fit for offices and receptions. The red NB7312R is bold and high-visibility, better where an urgent notice must be caught fast on a safety wall.
Q: How heavy is this board and is it tricky to mount?
A: At 18.1kg the board is solid for a square this size yet simple to put up. A wall mount kit and concealed fixings are included, so one person offers it up while another keeps it level as the fixings bite into a solid wall. Being frameless, a run of boards can also sit cleanly side by side.
Q: Is this board guaranteed, and where is it made?
A: British-built and carrying a two-year guarantee, the board has a clear origin and longer-term cover against faults. Produced to recognised fire standards, it reassures a facilities or procurement team on both quality and safety when they sign off the purchase.
Q: Is this noticeboard for indoor use only?
A: For indoor use only. It suits receptions, corridors and staffrooms, but keep it away from damp or open-air spots, since moisture works into the felt and ruins it. Used inside, the fire-rated blue surface takes the daily knocks of a busy professional building in its stride.
Q: Can this board be used on a corridor or stairwell?
A: Yes. Certified to BS 476 Class 0, and separately to EN 13501-1 Class B-s1 d0, across one complete composite, the board suits corridors, stairwells and other fire-sensitive shared areas. Its calm blue keeps the wall composed while the rating meets the standards those routes are held to.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other sizes or colours?
A: Yes. This unframed fire-rated range starts at a compact board and climbs past this size, and at this square format the certified felt comes in green and red as well as blue. Prefer a crisp aluminium surround to the frameless edge and a matching framed fire version is available as well.
Choosing a Fire-Rated Board for a Professional Space
Getting the most from a school noticeboard comes down to placement, content and how well it draws people in. These Displaysense guides cover a full noticeboard buying guide, reception board best practice, wider communication strategies, and using displays to lift student engagement across a school. Together they help a board pull its weight rather than simply fade into a busy school corridor.

Keep a Large Wall Composed with a Square Blue Noticeboard
A cool blue felt surface gives a big square board a calm, professional presence, so a wall packed with policies and notices still reads as orderly rather than cluttered. Certified as a complete composite to BS 476 Class 0 and, under the European standard EN 13501-1, Class B-s1 d0, it takes pins and staples, and with wrapped edges and no frame it sits flush and lines up with others for a wider run. In an office, reception or clinic that composed blue keeps a dense wall of information feeling managed rather than noisy, which is often the point of the board. British-made and guaranteed for two years, it offers a square 1200 face with generous room across a shared office wall. Best suited to offices, schools and hospitals where a professional space needs a clear, composed board that also meets fire-safety standards.
Why a Composite Fire Test Matters on a Large Board
- Blue felt that keeps a wall calm: A cool, even blue gives a large wall a composed, professional look, so a dense board of notices still reads as tidy rather than busy. It suits an office or reception where a clear display is taken in at a glance.
- Rated as a finished composite: Independent testing certifies the made-up board to BS 476 Class 0 and, under EN 13501-1, to Class B-s1 d0, covering the product as a whole. That result lets a professional building place it along a corridor or stair it must keep to fire standards.
- Room to spare on a broad wall: The square shape offers a wide, even area that carries a full run of policies, rotas and updates together, so one board serves a busy wall rather than several competing for space. It gives an office or reception a single, orderly place to check.
- A firm grip for pins and staples: The blue felt takes push pins and staples with an equally firm hold, so printed sheets, laminated notices and forms all stay put and lift away cleanly. A working wall can be refreshed as often as the week asks, the surface taking it without wear.
- Wrapped edges, no metal surround: Felt taken over the borders means no frame, so the board lies flush with a clean, modern line and nothing raised to catch a sleeve. Placed beside another, two sit together as one continuous surface where a single board would run out.
- British-built, guaranteed two years: British-built and covered by a two-year guarantee, the board comes with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings for a neat, finished result. It is a large, compliant display secured with little more to arrange before it goes up.
Where Offices and Clinics Put a Large Blue Board
| Offices and Corporate | Meeting-room approaches and shared corridors carry policies, rotas and updates on a composed blue display board, the calm tone keeping a dense wall ordered while the certified build suits a professional space that must meet fire rules on its main routes. |
| Schools and Colleges | Staffrooms and teaching corridors hold timetables, safeguarding notices and pupil information on a fire-rated blue surface, the even colour settling a busy wall while the square face gives room for a full term of material in one place. |
| Hospitals and Clinics | On clinic corridors and staff areas, a calm blue felt takes patient guidance and rotas, the quiet tone suiting a care setting while the whole-board rating holds a large communication board compliant where fire standards apply. |
| Local Authority Buildings | Civic offices and community centres show public information and staff notices on a composite-tested blue board, the measured colour reading as clear and official while the frameless finish keeps a shared wall looking modern and uncluttered. |
| Receptions and Waiting Areas | Welcome details and key notices meet visitors on a steady blue felt at front-of-house and waiting-room walls, the composed look making a calm first impression while the broad square face reads clearly for anyone arriving at the desk. |
| Corridors and Staffrooms | Along a busy corridor or in a shared staffroom the board carries day-to-day information at a size read in passing, the cool blue keeping the wall calm and settled while a whole-board fire rating lets it sit on a route where fire standards apply. |

NB7312B is a large square Unframed Fire-Resistant Blue Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. A frameless board with an edge-wrapped fire-rated blue felt surface, independently certified as a complete composite unit to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0, with no frame so it sits flush and boards butt together for wider coverage. Dimensions 1200mm x 1200mm. Weight 18.1kg. Fire-rated blue felt for pins and staples, unframed edge-wrapped construction, portrait or landscape mounting, wall mount kit included, made in the UK, two-year guarantee, indoor use. Used by offices, schools, hospitals and local authorities for policies, staff information and key notices in receptions, corridors, staffrooms and shared areas. Also available in a smaller size and in green and red, with an aluminium-framed fire-rated version for a defined edge. Displaysense, UK display specialist based in Hertfordshire since 1978. Free UK delivery.
Colour sets the mood of a board before a single notice goes up, and a cool, even blue reads as calm and professional, which is why it suits an office, a reception or a clinic where the wall should feel ordered rather than loud. Against that quiet ground black text stays clear and easy to scan, so a dense set of policies and updates still looks tidy, and a visitor or a member of staff takes in the wall without it feeling cluttered or urgent.
Independent testing certifies the whole board to Class 0 under BS 476 and, in the European classification, to Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, assessing the finished composite rather than its separate materials, so the rating describes the item actually on the wall. Because the certificate covers the complete product, the board can be placed along a corridor, a stair or a shared route that a building is required to keep to fire standards, and a facilities team can hold the certificate on file against its own fire-compliance records, ready to show whenever a building is reviewed or handed to a new tenant.
Measuring a square 1200 across and down, the board gives a wide, even working area that carries a whole run of notices in one place, so a busy office or staffroom wall shows policies, rotas and updates together rather than split across several smaller boards. With the felt folded over the edges and no frame added, the panel sits flush and borderless, nothing proud to snag a sleeve, and a pair butted together read as one continuous display where a single board would fall short.
A staple holds in the blue felt as securely as a push pin, and neither marks the surface, so a laminated notice and a light printout alike fix firmly and come away cleanly, leaving a working wall quick to update. Weighty but not unwieldy, it ships with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings, and a helper steadies the square face as it is brought level on a solid wall. British-made and covered for two years, it is meant for indoor use and kept away from the damp that would work into the felt, so a professional wall keeps its composed, cared-for look over a long working life.

Every detail of the NB7312B is set out in full below, from the large square blue felt and its edge-wrapped, frameless build to the two-year guarantee and the fire rating held under both BS 476 and BS EN 13501-1. A short note against each row spells out what the specification means in practice for a calm, professional display in an office, school or clinic setting.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Unframed fire-resistant noticeboard | A large square frameless blue felt board, rated as a single composite for a calm, compliant display across offices, receptions and corridors. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated blue felt | A cool blue on a fire-rated surface that keeps a busy wall composed and sets off black text in clear, readable contrast for quick scanning. |
| Board Size | 1200mm x 1200mm | A broad square face that keeps a whole run of notices in one place, so one large board does the work of several smaller ones dotted along a shared office wall. |
| Weight | 18.1kg | Heavy enough to feel solid yet within one person's reach to position, with a second pair of hands useful to hold it square while it is fixed. |
| Surface | Fire-rated blue felt, pins and staples | The blue felt holds push pins and staples right across the face, so printed and laminated notices stay put and peel away without a mark. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped fabric | Edges wrapped in felt leave no frame, so the panel lies flush, snags little and lets two boards run together as one continuous surface. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Square on every side, it mounts the same portrait or landscape, dropping onto a tall or wide wall and turning to fit the space available. |
| Fixings | Wall mount kit included | The box holds a wall mount kit and concealed fixings, so the board goes onto a solid wall the day it lands and finishes without visible screws. |
| Fire Certification | Class 0 by BS 476, B-s1 d0 by EN 13501-1 | Assessed independently to both recognised fire standards, so a specifier has documented proof to mount it along a protected route. |
| Fire Testing | Complete composite unit | Certified as the assembled composite rather than part by part, so the rating describes the actual board on the wall, not one component. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | Two years of cover stand behind the board against faults, giving a facilities or procurement team lasting confidence in a certified buy. |
| Origin | Made in the UK | A British build to recognised fire standards keeps the board's origin clear for teams that weigh UK sourcing alongside its rating. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Square Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: Which large fire-rated noticeboard is best for an office or reception?
A: The best large fire-rated noticeboard for an office or reception is the NB7312B, a square 1200mm x 1200mm unframed blue felt board rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. Its calm blue keeps a busy wall composed, the felt takes pins and staples, and it hangs either way on a professional, compliant wall.
Q: What fire rating does this blue display board carry?
A: The board is rated Class 0 under BS 476 and, in the European system, Class B-s1 d0 under BS EN 13501-1:2002. Both grades attach to the finished board, not its individual parts, so the item as a whole is proven fire-rated and clears a corridor, stair or shared route.
Q: Why choose blue rather than a brighter colour?
A: Blue is the composed, professional pick. A cool, even tone keeps a large wall looking calm and ordered, so a dense set of policies and notices still reads as tidy rather than busy. For an office, reception or clinic where a settled, unhurried look matters, this display board suits the setting.
Q: Can notices be fixed with staples as well as pins?
A: Each fixes securely here. A push pin sinks into the blue felt and a staple grips it just as firmly, so laminated notices and printed sheets alike stay put and come away without a mark. You are free to rearrange a working information board as often as the wall demands.
Q: How large is the square face and what is it for?
A: The board is a square 1200mm by 1200mm, a wide, balanced face made for holding a full run of notices at once. It suits a shared wall with plenty to show, letting policies, rotas and updates sit together on one bulletin board instead of being split across several smaller ones.
Q: Can this wall board be mounted portrait or landscape?
A: Yes. As a square it presents the same whichever way up it goes, so a tall or a wide wall takes it without change. A wall mount kit with concealed fixings is included, and though it is manageable for its size, the 18.1kg weight makes a second person useful to steady the face while it is fixed to the wall.
Q: How does this blue board compare with the red NB7312R?
A: Both are square 1200mm x 1200mm unframed, fire-certified boards taking pins and staples, so colour sets them apart. The blue NB7312B reads calm and professional, a fit for offices and receptions. The red NB7312R is bold and high-visibility, better where an urgent notice must be caught fast on a safety wall.
Q: How heavy is this board and is it tricky to mount?
A: At 18.1kg the board is solid for a square this size yet simple to put up. A wall mount kit and concealed fixings are included, so one person offers it up while another keeps it level as the fixings bite into a solid wall. Being frameless, a run of boards can also sit cleanly side by side.
Q: Is this board guaranteed, and where is it made?
A: British-built and carrying a two-year guarantee, the board has a clear origin and longer-term cover against faults. Produced to recognised fire standards, it reassures a facilities or procurement team on both quality and safety when they sign off the purchase.
Q: Is this noticeboard for indoor use only?
A: For indoor use only. It suits receptions, corridors and staffrooms, but keep it away from damp or open-air spots, since moisture works into the felt and ruins it. Used inside, the fire-rated blue surface takes the daily knocks of a busy professional building in its stride.
Q: Can this board be used on a corridor or stairwell?
A: Yes. Certified to BS 476 Class 0, and separately to EN 13501-1 Class B-s1 d0, across one complete composite, the board suits corridors, stairwells and other fire-sensitive shared areas. Its calm blue keeps the wall composed while the rating meets the standards those routes are held to.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other sizes or colours?
A: Yes. This unframed fire-rated range starts at a compact board and climbs past this size, and at this square format the certified felt comes in green and red as well as blue. Prefer a crisp aluminium surround to the frameless edge and a matching framed fire version is available as well.
Choosing a Fire-Rated Board for a Professional Space
Getting the most from a school noticeboard comes down to placement, content and how well it draws people in. These Displaysense guides cover a full noticeboard buying guide, reception board best practice, wider communication strategies, and using displays to lift student engagement across a school. Together they help a board pull its weight rather than simply fade into a busy school corridor.
