Show Notices Clearly on a Large Blue Felt Noticeboard
Where a large wall has a great deal to say, it takes a board broad enough to hold it, and this navy felt noticeboard covers a wide span in one continuous run. Tested as a composite to BS 476 Class 0 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, it is the finished board that holds the rating rather than the felt by itself, so it is cleared for a corridor or a protected route that has to resist flame spread. The deep navy gives a wide wall a composed, professional face while black notices stand out crisply against the dark ground. Made as two parts that come together on the wall, a board this size is straightforward to carry in and hang, and it fixes portrait or landscape to suit the space. A navy this deep with a real fire rating behind it is uncommon in one board, and a single face then stands in for a whole wall of small boards. A pair have it up in one visit, the fixings tucked away so the finished wall shows a clean navy face and the notices alone. Best suited to offices, schools and public buildings where a large wall should look considered, hold plenty of notices and meet fire rules.
Why This Communication Board Suits a Professional Space
- A deep, considered navy: A serious navy rather than a bright blue, it gives a large wall a composed, professional look, and black print and white paper stand out crisply from the dark ground so notices read across a room. The felt keeps that depth for years rather than greying off.
- Rated as the finished board: Since the made-up board is graded and not loose felt, the classes of Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1 apply to what hangs on the wall. That is what allows a large navy display onto a corridor or an escape route.
- One board for a whole wall: A single broad face carries a full set of notices in one place, where several small boards would look scattered on a big wall. It suits an office, foyer or hall with a lot to put in front of people at once.
- A sure hold for pins and staples: A pin or a staple presses into the navy felt and draws back out without a tear, so a notice fixes firm and comes away clean. Across a broad board that keeps a busy, frequently-swapped display straightforward to keep in order.
- Felt-wrapped edges, no frame: The felt folds around each edge instead of a frame, so it lies flat to the wall as one continuous face with no raised border. On a large run that trim front looks smart and gives a passing coat nothing to catch.
- Built in Britain, two-year cover: Made in the UK under a two-year guarantee, it arrives with the mount kit and concealed fixings it calls for. A large fire-rated board then goes onto a solid wall with only the levelling left to do.
Where This Deep Navy Board Belongs
| Offices and Corporate | Rotas, policies and updates take a large navy board along an open-plan or breakout wall, the deep colour looking at home in a professional space while one broad face carries the whole wall in a single run. Smart without shouting. |
| Schools and Colleges | Pupil information and staff notices go on a large blue board down a corridor or hall wall, the considered felt keeping a busy space composed while a broad face reaches a stretch a lesser board would leave bare. It goes up in one visit. |
| Universities and Campuses | Lecture timetables and residence notices go on a wide navy board across faculty and hall walls, the deep shade clear along a wide span while the composite grade meets what a campus estate has to answer for. It carries down a busy corridor. |
| Reception and Front-of-House | Directions and welcome notes greet arrivals on a big navy board at an entrance or lobby wall, the smart colour setting a confident first impression while the broad board runs a full display along the wall. Noticed as visitors come in. |
| Public Sector Buildings | Public information and notices take a big blue board through council foyers and circulation areas, the composed shade reading as official and calm while the wide face works a broad wall a civic building needs put to use. One board, a whole run. |
| Healthcare and Clinics | Patient guidance and staff notes sit on a fire-rated navy board along a clinic corridor or waiting-room wall, the steady colour easy in a care setting while the whole-board grade holds a large panel to the fire rules a route has to keep. |

Depth is what a navy this dark brings to a large board. A serious, considered blue holds a big wall together, reading as composed rather than plain, and its darkness makes black text and white paper stand out from across a room. On a wide surface that contrast is what keeps a notice legible where a paler board would let it fade, and the felt holds its depth for years rather than greying off. It is a colour that looks deliberate on a professional wall, and it sets the tone for a room as much as the notices pinned to it.
Bringing a whole wall of information onto one board is the reason for a size like this. Notices dotted across a big wall get overlooked, so a single broad face pulling them together is what finally gets them noticed. Run at full width, this navy board dresses a large office or foyer wall in one go, with space for a complete set of notices where several small boards would look scattered. A single wide face is what keeps a wall of information legible instead of a jumble. It reaches the wall as two parts that join into one face, so a large wall that stood empty turns into a single, orderly noticeboard.
Certification here is earned by the finished board, not by the felt on its own. The made-up board is graded Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the rating belongs to the object a visitor sees on the wall. That is the result that lets a large navy board go onto a corridor or an escape route, and the certificate is held on file as the proof an inspection will want, holding good for as long as the board stays on the wall, with no yearly re-test to arrange.
Two sets of hands put a board this size up, and not much more is asked. The supplied fixings anchor into a solid wall out of sight, the board goes up tall or wide as the space suits, and nothing framed, locked or hinged gets in the way of fitting it. In use, a pin or a staple sinks cleanly into the felt and lifts out again, so a busy display is quick to change and the surface stays unmarked. With the fixings out of sight, the finished board shows only navy and the notices. Where a wall carries on, a second board sits neatly beside it. Nothing about the work asks for a specialist, so a maintenance call is short and the board can move to another wall just as simply.
What Ships with This Noticeboard

The full specification for the NB7318B sits below. The stat boxes lift out the headline figures, and each row then puts a detail next to a plain note on what it brings to a large navy board built to fill a wide wall. Take it row by row for the surface, the fixings, the fire grade and the origin, all before you commit.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Unframed fire-resistant blue felt noticeboard | A large navy board with no frame, graded as one composite and built to fill a wide wall inside the fire rules. One board covers what a smaller one leaves part-done. Fewer boards, one composed navy wall. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated deep navy felt | A deep, professional navy that keeps a big wall composed, with black print standing out crisply on it. Deliberate on a corporate wall, never loud. |
| Board Size | 1800mm x 1200mm | Broad enough to dress a whole wall in one navy run when hung, where a narrower board falls short across the width. Better where a smaller board runs out. |
| Panel Format | Two parts, 900mm x 1200mm each | Supplied as two parts, so a wide board comes in and up without shifting one full-width sheet. Two see it done, no gear. |
| Weight | 27.95kg | The weight to plan for on a board this size, lifted and set by a pair between them. No hoist and no lift crew on site. |
| Surface | Felt, accepts pins and staples | A pin or a staple takes hold and draws free without a trace, so a wide display is changed as often as the week wants. Nothing marks the felt as it turns over. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped | Felt folds over each edge instead of a frame, giving a flat, unbroken front and no border proud of the wall face. A flat navy front, bar the seam. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Fix it standing or lying to fit the wall, the supplied fixings doing the same job standing or lying. |
| Fixings | Wall mount kit with concealed fixings | A kit of hidden fixings comes in the box, so the board is set for a solid wall the day it lands. You match the plug to your own wall build. |
| Fire Certification | BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0 | Independently graded to both standards, the proof a specifier needs to place a large navy board on a monitored route. Filed for a compliant wall. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | Two years' cover stands behind it, so a big fire-rated board is one a building can commit to with confidence, well past year one. |
| Origin | Made in the UK | British-built to recognised fire standards, so even a large navy board carries a source set clearly on the record for buyers who want it. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Large Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: What is the best fire-rated noticeboard for a large office or reception wall?
A: The best fire-rated noticeboard for a large office or reception wall is the NB7318B, an 1800mm x 1200mm unframed navy felt board rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. Its deep navy keeps a big wall composed, the broad face fills a wide span in one run, and the felt takes pins and staples for a full display an office can rely on. It is a board an office fits once and leaves for years.
Q: Is the whole board fire-rated, or only the felt?
A: The board as a whole. It is graded a completed composite to Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the rating covers the object on the wall, felt and backing together. That clearance is what allows a large navy board onto a corridor or a protected escape route, the test certificate serving as a fire officer's proof.
Q: What shade of blue is the felt?
A: A deep, professional navy rather than a bright or royal blue, so it gives a large wall a composed, considered look. Black print stands out crisply against the dark ground, so notices carry across a wide board, and the felt holds its depth over the years instead of greying off. On a large wall that depth reads as smart, not stark.
Q: How much wall does it cover?
A: Its face runs 1800mm wide by 1200mm high, plenty for a big office, hall or foyer. Hung, it is one navy display with room for a full run of notices at once, where a smaller board would soon crowd. Room to lay it out clearly is really the point at this width, a full week of notices in view at once.
Q: Does it arrive as one board or two?
A: It is made in two parts that meet on the wall as one continuous board. Two lighter halves are far simpler to bring in and raise than one big sheet, and mounted, the join between them sits almost unseen behind the notices. Two parts also spare a single awkward wide lift.
Q: Does it need two people to hang?
A: Yes. At this width it is a job for two, one keeping it steady while the other sets the supplied concealed fixings into a solid wall, with no special kit called for. It hangs standing or lying, taking whichever line the wall runs. A stepladder and a screwdriver cover the whole job.
Q: How does the blue board compare with the red one?
A: Both share the 1800mm x 1200mm unframed build, the fire grading and the pin-holding felt, so it comes down to tone. The navy NB7318B is the composed, professional pick for offices, receptions and schools, while the red NB7318R is the bold one, for a wall where a safety or evacuation notice must be impossible to miss.
Q: Portrait or landscape, which way does it hang?
A: Either way. Fix it wide and low or stand it upright, as the wall suits, and with no frame the front stays flat and seamless whichever way it hangs. One set of supplied fixings serves both, with none on show once it is up.
Q: Do staples grip as well as pins?
A: Yes, both. Push a pin or a staple into the navy felt and it grips, letting go later without a mark, so a printed or laminated sheet sits tight then lifts off clean. On a board this broad that turns a full refresh into a fast job, swapped over in minutes with no re-drilling.
Q: Can it be used outdoors?
A: No, keep it indoors. Damp or open air can work into the felt within the fire-rated make-up, so a covered office, hall or corridor is where it belongs. Somewhere dry it holds its navy and its rating for years, which a board left out in the damp would not. Under cover it looks close to new five years on.
Q: What are the delivery and returns arrangements?
A: It arrives with free UK mainland delivery, from Displaysense, in the display trade since 1978. A 28-day returns window lets you confirm it works on the wall after it goes up, before you commit to it for good.
Q: Can I get it in another colour or size?
A: Yes. At 1800mm x 1200mm it also comes in green, red and grey, and the fire-rated line runs from small single-panel boards up to 2400mm x 1200mm, plus a slim 1800mm x 600mm navy option. Only the colour and size shift; the felt and the rating stay the same throughout.
Getting a Wide Wall of Notices Right
A large board repays the thought put into what goes on it, so on a wide office or reception wall the way notices are ordered and read tells as much as the board behind them. These Displaysense guides take in reception noticeboard best practice, attendance display ideas, engaging people through displays, and school communication strategies, each one worth a look where a big navy board has to hold a busy, shared wall.

A: The best fire-rated noticeboard for a large office or reception wall is the NB7318B, an 1800mm x 1200mm unframed navy felt board rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1.

A: Yes, both. Push a pin or a staple into the navy felt and it grips, letting go later without a mark, so a printed or laminated sheet sits tight then lifts off clean. On a board this broad that turns a full refresh into a fast job, swapped over in minutes with no re-drilling.
Q: Can it be used outdoors?
A: No, keep it indoors. Damp or open air can work into the felt within the fire-rated make-up, so a covered office, hall or corridor is where it belongs. Somewhere dry it holds its navy and its rating for years, which a board left out in the damp would not. Under cover it looks close to new five years on.
Q: What are the delivery and returns arrangements?
A: It arrives with free UK mainland delivery, from Displaysense, in the display trade since 1978. A 28-day returns window lets you confirm it works on the wall after it goes up, before you commit to it for good.
Q: Can I get it in another colour or size?
A: Yes. At 1800mm x 1200mm it also comes in green, red and grey, and the fire-rated line runs from small single-panel boards up to 2400mm x 1200mm, plus a slim 1800mm x 600mm navy option. Only the colour and size shift; the felt and the rating stay the same throughout.

Getting a Wide Wall of Notices Right
A large board repays the thought put into what goes on it, so on a wide office or reception wall the way notices are ordered and read tells as much as the board behind them. These Displaysense guides take in reception noticeboard best practice, attendance display ideas, engaging people through displays, and school communication strategies, each one worth a look where a big navy board has to hold a busy, shared wall.

Show Notices Clearly on a Large Blue Felt Noticeboard
Where a large wall has a great deal to say, it takes a board broad enough to hold it, and this navy felt noticeboard covers a wide span in one continuous run. Tested as a composite to BS 476 Class 0 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, it is the finished board that holds the rating rather than the felt by itself, so it is cleared for a corridor or a protected route that has to resist flame spread. The deep navy gives a wide wall a composed, professional face while black notices stand out crisply against the dark ground. Made as two parts that come together on the wall, a board this size is straightforward to carry in and hang, and it fixes portrait or landscape to suit the space. A navy this deep with a real fire rating behind it is uncommon in one board, and a single face then stands in for a whole wall of small boards. A pair have it up in one visit, the fixings tucked away so the finished wall shows a clean navy face and the notices alone. Best suited to offices, schools and public buildings where a large wall should look considered, hold plenty of notices and meet fire rules.
Why This Communication Board Suits a Professional Space
- A deep, considered navy: A serious navy rather than a bright blue, it gives a large wall a composed, professional look, and black print and white paper stand out crisply from the dark ground so notices read across a room. The felt keeps that depth for years rather than greying off.
- Rated as the finished board: Since the made-up board is graded and not loose felt, the classes of Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1 apply to what hangs on the wall. That is what allows a large navy display onto a corridor or an escape route.
- One board for a whole wall: A single broad face carries a full set of notices in one place, where several small boards would look scattered on a big wall. It suits an office, foyer or hall with a lot to put in front of people at once.
- A sure hold for pins and staples: A pin or a staple presses into the navy felt and draws back out without a tear, so a notice fixes firm and comes away clean. Across a broad board that keeps a busy, frequently-swapped display straightforward to keep in order.
- Felt-wrapped edges, no frame: The felt folds around each edge instead of a frame, so it lies flat to the wall as one continuous face with no raised border. On a large run that trim front looks smart and gives a passing coat nothing to catch.
- Built in Britain, two-year cover: Made in the UK under a two-year guarantee, it arrives with the mount kit and concealed fixings it calls for. A large fire-rated board then goes onto a solid wall with only the levelling left to do.
Where This Deep Navy Board Belongs
| Offices and Corporate | Rotas, policies and updates take a large navy board along an open-plan or breakout wall, the deep colour looking at home in a professional space while one broad face carries the whole wall in a single run. Smart without shouting. |
| Schools and Colleges | Pupil information and staff notices go on a large blue board down a corridor or hall wall, the considered felt keeping a busy space composed while a broad face reaches a stretch a lesser board would leave bare. It goes up in one visit. |
| Universities and Campuses | Lecture timetables and residence notices go on a wide navy board across faculty and hall walls, the deep shade clear along a wide span while the composite grade meets what a campus estate has to answer for. It carries down a busy corridor. |
| Reception and Front-of-House | Directions and welcome notes greet arrivals on a big navy board at an entrance or lobby wall, the smart colour setting a confident first impression while the broad board runs a full display along the wall. Noticed as visitors come in. |
| Public Sector Buildings | Public information and notices take a big blue board through council foyers and circulation areas, the composed shade reading as official and calm while the wide face works a broad wall a civic building needs put to use. One board, a whole run. |
| Healthcare and Clinics | Patient guidance and staff notes sit on a fire-rated navy board along a clinic corridor or waiting-room wall, the steady colour easy in a care setting while the whole-board grade holds a large panel to the fire rules a route has to keep. |

For a narrower wall, the same fire-rated navy felt comes as the Unframed Fire Resistant Blue Felt Noticeboard 1500mm x 1200mm. Order with free UK mainland delivery.
NB7318B is an Unframed Fire-Resistant Blue Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. A large fire-rated board that fills a wide wall in one continuous run. Made in two 900mm x 1200mm parts that come together into the full display. Dimensions 1800mm x 1200mm. Weight 27.95kg. Deep navy fire-rated felt, unframed and edge-wrapped, tested as a composite to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0. Takes pins and staples, portrait or landscape, wall mount kit and concealed fixings included, indoor use, two-year guarantee, made in the UK. Used by offices, schools, universities, receptions and public sector for notices and information on large walls. Also available in green, red and grey at this size, in smaller and larger sizes, and in a narrow 1800mm x 600mm blue board. Displaysense, UK display specialist based in Hertfordshire since 1978. Free UK delivery.
Depth is what a navy this dark brings to a large board. A serious, considered blue holds a big wall together, reading as composed rather than plain, and its darkness makes black text and white paper stand out from across a room. On a wide surface that contrast is what keeps a notice legible where a paler board would let it fade, and the felt holds its depth for years rather than greying off. It is a colour that looks deliberate on a professional wall, and it sets the tone for a room as much as the notices pinned to it.
Bringing a whole wall of information onto one board is the reason for a size like this. Notices dotted across a big wall get overlooked, so a single broad face pulling them together is what finally gets them noticed. Run at full width, this navy board dresses a large office or foyer wall in one go, with space for a complete set of notices where several small boards would look scattered. A single wide face is what keeps a wall of information legible instead of a jumble. It reaches the wall as two parts that join into one face, so a large wall that stood empty turns into a single, orderly noticeboard.
Certification here is earned by the finished board, not by the felt on its own. The made-up board is graded Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the rating belongs to the object a visitor sees on the wall. That is the result that lets a large navy board go onto a corridor or an escape route, and the certificate is held on file as the proof an inspection will want, holding good for as long as the board stays on the wall, with no yearly re-test to arrange.
Two sets of hands put a board this size up, and not much more is asked. The supplied fixings anchor into a solid wall out of sight, the board goes up tall or wide as the space suits, and nothing framed, locked or hinged gets in the way of fitting it. In use, a pin or a staple sinks cleanly into the felt and lifts out again, so a busy display is quick to change and the surface stays unmarked. With the fixings out of sight, the finished board shows only navy and the notices. Where a wall carries on, a second board sits neatly beside it. Nothing about the work asks for a specialist, so a maintenance call is short and the board can move to another wall just as simply.
What Ships with This Noticeboard
- 2 x unframed fire-resistant blue felt panels, 900mm x 1200mm each
- 1 x wall mount kit with concealed fixings

Take it row by row for the surface, the fixings, the fire grade and the origin, all before you commit.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Unframed fire-resistant blue felt noticeboard | A large navy board with no frame, graded as one composite and built to fill a wide wall inside the fire rules. One board covers what a smaller one leaves part-done. Fewer boards, one composed navy wall. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated deep navy felt | A deep, professional navy that keeps a big wall composed, with black print standing out crisply on it. Deliberate on a corporate wall, never loud. |
| Board Size | 1800mm x 1200mm | Broad enough to dress a whole wall in one navy run when hung, where a narrower board falls short across the width. Better where a smaller board runs out. |
| Panel Format | Two parts, 900mm x 1200mm each | Supplied as two parts, so a wide board comes in and up without shifting one full-width sheet. Two see it done, no gear. |
| Weight | 27.95kg | The weight to plan for on a board this size, lifted and set by a pair between them. No hoist and no lift crew on site. |
| Surface | Felt, accepts pins and staples | A pin or a staple takes hold and draws free without a trace, so a wide display is changed as often as the week wants. Nothing marks the felt as it turns over. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped | Felt folds over each edge instead of a frame, giving a flat, unbroken front and no border proud of the wall face. A flat navy front, bar the seam. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Fix it standing or lying to fit the wall, the supplied fixings doing the same job standing or lying. |
| Fixings | Wall mount kit with concealed fixings | A kit of hidden fixings comes in the box, so the board is set for a solid wall the day it lands. You match the plug to your own wall build. |
| Fire Certification | BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0 | Independently graded to both standards, the proof a specifier needs to place a large navy board on a monitored route. Filed for a compliant wall. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | Two years' cover stands behind it, so a big fire-rated board is one a building can commit to with confidence, well past year one. |
| Origin | Made in the UK | British-built to recognised fire standards, so even a large navy board carries a source set clearly on the record for buyers who want it. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Large Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: What is the best fire-rated noticeboard for a large office or reception wall?
A: The best fire-rated noticeboard for a large office or reception wall is the NB7318B, an 1800mm x 1200mm unframed navy felt board rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. Its deep navy keeps a big wall composed, the broad face fills a wide span in one run, and the felt takes pins and staples for a full display an office can rely on. It is a board an office fits once and leaves for years.
Q: Is the whole board fire-rated, or only the felt?
A: The board as a whole. It is graded a completed composite to Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the rating covers the object on the wall, felt and backing together. That clearance is what allows a large navy board onto a corridor or a protected escape route, the test certificate serving as a fire officer's proof.
Q: What shade of blue is the felt?
A: A deep, professional navy rather than a bright or royal blue, so it gives a large wall a composed, considered look. Black print stands out crisply against the dark ground, so notices carry across a wide board, and the felt holds its depth over the years instead of greying off. On a large wall that depth reads as smart, not stark.
Q: How much wall does it cover?
A: Its face runs 1800mm wide by 1200mm high, plenty for a big office, hall or foyer. Hung, it is one navy display with room for a full run of notices at once, where a smaller board would soon crowd. Room to lay it out clearly is really the point at this width, a full week of notices in view at once.
Q: Does it arrive as one board or two?
A: It is made in two parts that meet on the wall as one continuous board. Two lighter halves are far simpler to bring in and raise than one big sheet, and mounted, the join between them sits almost unseen behind the notices. Two parts also spare a single awkward wide lift.
Q: Does it need two people to hang?
A: Yes. At this width it is a job for two, one keeping it steady while the other sets the supplied concealed fixings into a solid wall, with no special kit called for. It hangs standing or lying, taking whichever line the wall runs. A stepladder and a screwdriver cover the whole job.
Q: How does the blue board compare with the red one?
A: Both share the 1800mm x 1200mm unframed build, the fire grading and the pin-holding felt, so it comes down to tone. The navy NB7318B is the composed, professional pick for offices, receptions and schools, while the red NB7318R is the bold one, for a wall where a safety or evacuation notice must be impossible to miss.
Q: Portrait or landscape, which way does it hang?
A: Either way. Fix it wide and low or stand it upright, as the wall suits, and with no frame the front stays flat and seamless whichever way it hangs. One set of supplied fixings serves both, with none on show once it is up.
Q: Do staples grip as well as pins?
A: Yes, both. Push a pin or a staple into the navy felt and it grips, letting go later without a mark, so a printed or laminated sheet sits tight then lifts off clean. On a board this broad that turns a full refresh into a fast job, swapped over in minutes with no re-drilling.
Q: Can it be used outdoors?
A: No, keep it indoors. Damp or open air can work into the felt within the fire-rated make-up, so a covered office, hall or corridor is where it belongs. Somewhere dry it holds its navy and its rating for years, which a board left out in the damp would not. Under cover it looks close to new five years on.
Q: What are the delivery and returns arrangements?
A: It arrives with free UK mainland delivery, from Displaysense, in the display trade since 1978. A 28-day returns window lets you confirm it works on the wall after it goes up, before you commit to it for good.
Q: Can I get it in another colour or size?
A: Yes. At 1800mm x 1200mm it also comes in green, red and grey, and the fire-rated line runs from small single-panel boards up to 2400mm x 1200mm, plus a slim 1800mm x 600mm navy option. Only the colour and size shift; the felt and the rating stay the same throughout.

Q: What shade of blue is the felt?
A: A deep, professional navy rather than a bright or royal blue, so it gives a large wall a composed, considered look. Black print stands out crisply against the dark ground, so notices carry across a wide board, and the felt holds its depth over the years instead of greying off. On a large wall that depth reads as smart, not stark.
Q: How much wall does it cover?
A: Its face runs 1800mm wide by 1200mm high, plenty for a big office, hall or foyer. Hung, it is one navy display with room for a full run of notices at once, where a smaller board would soon crowd. Room to lay it out clearly is really the point at this width, a full week of notices in view at once.
Q: Does it arrive as one board or two?
A: It is made in two parts that meet on the wall as one continuous board. Two lighter halves are far simpler to bring in and raise than one big sheet, and mounted, the join between them sits almost unseen behind the notices. Two parts also spare a single awkward wide lift.
Q: Does it need two people to hang?
A: Yes. At this width it is a job for two, one keeping it steady while the other sets the supplied concealed fixings into a solid wall, with no special kit called for. It hangs standing or lying, taking whichever line the wall runs. A stepladder and a screwdriver cover the whole job.
Q: How does the blue board compare with the red one?
A: Both share the 1800mm x 1200mm unframed build, the fire grading and the pin-holding felt, so it comes down to tone. The navy NB7318B is the composed, professional pick for offices, receptions and schools, while the red NB7318R is the bold one, for a wall where a safety or evacuation notice must be impossible to miss.
Q: Portrait or landscape, which way does it hang?
A: Either way. Fix it wide and low or stand it upright, as the wall suits, and with no frame the front stays flat and seamless whichever way it hangs. One set of supplied fixings serves both, with none on show once it is up.
Q: Do staples grip as well as pins?
A: Yes, both. Push a pin or a staple into the navy felt and it grips, letting go later without a mark, so a printed or laminated sheet sits tight then lifts off clean. On a board this broad that turns a full refresh into a fast job, swapped over in minutes with no re-drilling.
Q: Can it be used outdoors?
A: No, keep it indoors. Damp or open air can work into the felt within the fire-rated make-up, so a covered office, hall or corridor is where it belongs. Somewhere dry it holds its navy and its rating for years, which a board left out in the damp would not. Under cover it looks close to new five years on.
Q: What are the delivery and returns arrangements?
A: It arrives with free UK mainland delivery, from Displaysense, in the display trade since 1978. A 28-day returns window lets you confirm it works on the wall after it goes up, before you commit to it for good.
Q: Can I get it in another colour or size?
A: Yes. At 1800mm x 1200mm it also comes in green, red and grey, and the fire-rated line runs from small single-panel boards up to 2400mm x 1200mm, plus a slim 1800mm x 600mm navy option. Only the colour and size shift; the felt and the rating stay the same throughout.

Getting a Wide Wall of Notices Right
A large board repays the thought put into what goes on it, so on a wide office or reception wall the way notices are ordered and read tells as much as the board behind them. These Displaysense guides take in reception noticeboard best practice, attendance display ideas, engaging people through displays, and school communication strategies, each one worth a look where a big navy board has to hold a busy, shared wall.
