Fit Notices into a Tight Space with a Blue Felt Noticeboard
Not every wall has room for a full board, and this slim navy noticeboard is made for the ones that do not, slipping into a stairwell, a corridor pillar or the strip beside a doorway. Tested as a whole composite to BS 476 Class 0 and to Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, it takes pins and staples, and with felt-wrapped edges and no frame it sits flush on a tight wall. The deep blue keeps a notice clear against sharp black text, and one person can lift and level it. Made in Britain with a two-year guarantee, it brings a compliant board to a wall that had none. The mounting is straightforward, and the deep navy finish looks deliberate rather than loud on the wall. Best suited to schools, healthcare sites and stairwells where a slim run of wall still has to meet fire rules.
Why a Narrow Board Still Needs Full Fire Cover
- Slim enough for a tight wall: Barely any drop from top to bottom means this pin board takes the thin wall strips a standard one has to skip, so a stairwell, a pillar or a doorway margin finally holds a display. Circulation areas gain a spot for notices without giving up walking room.
- A deep blue with strong contrast: A rich navy felt gives the board a considered, quality look, and black print shows up crisply against the dark ground so notices read at a glance. It is a grown-up tone for a corridor or stairwell, never a colour that clamours for attention.
- Certified as one whole board: Independent testing grades the assembled panel Class 0 to BS 476 and, under the European scheme, Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1, covering the finished item and not just the felt. That whole-board result is what lets a slim display go on an escape route.
- Pins and staples both bite in: A push pin or a staple presses firmly into the navy felt and pulls out without a tear, so a laminated notice or a printed sheet fixes fast and lifts clean. Even a narrow information board stays neat through constant swapping.
- Felt-wrapped, no surround: Felt taken over each edge does away with a frame, so the slim board sits flat and seamless, with nothing standing proud to catch a passing sleeve. Along a busy stair that unbroken face keeps a tight wall looking crisp right through the day.
- UK-made and light to fit: A British build and a two-year guarantee arrive with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings, and the panel is light enough for one person to carry and hang. A compliant wall board goes up with only the mounting left to sort.
Where a Slim Blue Board Suits a Stairwell Wall
| Schools and Colleges | A stairwell wall or a corridor pillar carries safety notices and pupil information on this slim navy board, the deep felt keeping the wall composed while its narrow drop reaches strips a full board could not. The wall stays orderly all day. |
| Hospitals and Healthcare | Along ward corridors and clinical routes, patient guidance and staff notices go up on a fire-rated navy board, the calm tone at home in a care setting and the composite rating holding good on a corridor bound by fire rules. |
| Universities and Campuses | Timetables and departmental notices appear on a narrow navy board down study-block corridors, the considered shade reading cleanly amid the traffic while the certified build answers what an estate has to uphold. It holds up on the busiest floors. |
| Local Authority Buildings | Civic buildings post public information and safety updates on a composite-tested navy board through their stairwells, the professional colour looking suitably official and the slim, frameless form keeping a public wall neat. |
| Stairwells and Escape Routes | Right where a protected stair pinches, a Class 0 navy board holds evacuation guidance, the strong contrast making the instruction easy to read on a route the building keeps compliant every day. A drill notice is never lost here. |
| Circulation and Through-Ways | Between doors and around lift lobbies, wayfinding and key notices sit on a narrow navy board, the compact drop taking up slim gaps a standard one leaves bare while the deep felt keeps the panel composed. No strip of wall goes to waste. |

NB7317B is a narrow-format Unframed Fire-Resistant Blue Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. A slim, wide-but-short 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, built for tight wall spaces where a full-size board will not fit. Dimensions 1800mm x 600mm. Weight 12kg. Fire-rated blue felt for pins and staples, unframed edge-wrapped construction, portrait or landscape mounting, wall mount kit with concealed fixings included, light enough for one person to fit, made in the UK, two-year guarantee, indoor use. Used by schools, healthcare sites, universities and local authorities for notices and safety information in stairwells, corridors and other narrow circulation spaces. Also available in red, green and grey at this size and in other sizes, with a taller blue board for fuller walls. Displaysense, UK display specialist based in Hertfordshire since 1978. Free UK delivery.
This board is far longer than it is deep, a shape made for the slim bands of wall a square or full-size board has to leave alone. That is why it settles onto a stairwell, a pier between two windows or the short run next to a doorway. Hung as an upright column or laid flat as a low strip, it turns an ignored sliver of wall into somewhere notices can live, and it steals no room from the corridor it sits in, which is generally why that wall was bare to begin with. Fitted low or high, it gives a cramped landing or lobby a proper place for notices at last.
Deep and considered rather than bright, the blue reads as a navy that looks deliberate on a wall instead of shouting from it. Set against that dark ground, black print stays crisp and a notice is caught at a glance, and the felt keeps its richness over time instead of drifting to a washed-out tone. In a stairwell or a professional corridor, a colour with that weight tends to suit the setting better than a vivid one. It is the sort of blue a reception can carry without the wall ever feeling loud.
A certificate here covers the finished board rather than the felt by itself, because the whole thing was tested as a single composite and graded Class 0 to BS 476 alongside Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1. A rating earned by the complete panel is what permits a slim board on a protected stair or an escape route, and the document sits in the building's fire records for whenever an inspection calls for it. For a facilities team that keeps its paperwork in order, having the whole-board result on hand settles a question before it is asked.
Because the panel is light, one person can raise it, hold it steady and drive the included concealed fixings into a solid wall without a second pair of hands, and with no surround two boards butt together for a longer wall. British-built and guaranteed for two years, it is an indoor board, best kept back from the moisture that would creep into the felt. Nothing about putting it up asks for a lock, a door or specialist tools, so a maintenance person has it level and fixed in short order.

The full specification for the NB7317B sits below. Each row gives the detail and a plain note on what it means for a slim, navy, fire-rated board headed for a tight corridor or stair. The stat boxes above pull out the headline figures, and the rows then fill in the rest, from surface and fixings to the fire grade and its origin.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Unframed fire-resistant noticeboard | A slim, frameless blue board, fire-tested in one piece, sized for the thin wall runs a standard board leaves unused. It earns a place where a bigger board never could. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated blue felt | A deep navy felt, fire-rated, that sets off black text sharply and reads as considered rather than loud. The wall stays smart without shouting for notice. |
| Board Size | 1800mm x 600mm | The long, shallow footprint drops into a stairwell or the pier between windows where space is scarce. Wall that usually sits bare finally does a job. |
| Weight | 12kg | Light enough for one person to lift and hold plumb while the fixings go in, no helper required. One maintenance visit has it up and level. |
| Surface | Fire-rated blue felt, pins and staples | Push pins and staples both bite the felt cleanly, so notices go up and come down without a mark. The face takes constant swaps without wear. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped fabric | Felt wrapped over every edge leaves no frame, so the board lies flush with nothing to catch a sleeve. A flush front reads clean in a public space. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Hangs as a tall column or a low strip, whichever way the wall run happens to fall. You pick the layout, not the board. |
| Fixings | Wall mount kit with concealed fixings | The concealed fixings and mount kit are in the box, so it reaches a solid wall on arrival, screws hidden. Only the wall type is left for you to judge. |
| Fire Certification | Class 0 to BS 476, with B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1 | Independently rated to both fire standards, giving a specifier the proof to place it on a protected route. Proof enough for a specifier's file. |
| Fire Testing | Complete composite unit | Graded as the finished board, not a single layer, so the rating covers the whole item on the wall. The rating follows the board onto the wall. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | Two years of cover stands behind it, so a building buys a certified board with lasting confidence. Longer-term cover for a commercial buy. |
| Origin | Made in the UK | British-made to recognised fire standards, giving the board a clear provenance behind its rating. Provenance that stands behind the rating. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Narrow Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: Which fire-rated noticeboard is best for a narrow stairwell or corridor?
A: The best fire-rated noticeboard for a narrow stairwell or corridor is the NB7317B, a 1800mm x 600mm unframed blue felt board rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. Its slim drop fits where a full board will not, the deep navy reads as considered rather than loud, and the felt takes pins and staples.
Q: Is the fire certification for the whole board or just the felt?
A: The rating belongs to the finished board. Tested as one composite, it earns Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the certificate covers the complete panel that hangs on the wall rather than the fabric alone. That is what clears it for a protected stair. The certificate is there to show an inspector on request.
Q: What is the blue felt like on this board?
A: The blue here is deep and rich rather than bright, giving the board a smart, considered look on the wall. Black text shows up crisply against the dark ground, so notices stay clear, and the saturated colour holds its depth over time instead of fading to a washed-out shade. Under corridor lighting the navy stays even and rich.
Q: Will a staple hold in the felt as well as a drawing pin?
A: Both grip well. A drawing pin presses into the navy felt and a staple bites just as firmly, so laminated notices and printed sheets stay put and lift away without a mark. It keeps even a narrow board quick to rearrange as the week moves on. Nothing is left behind on the felt when a notice comes down.
Q: How big is the board and where does the narrow shape earn its place?
A: It measures 1800mm by 600mm, a long but shallow strip made for tight wall spaces. A stairwell, a corridor pillar or the gap between two doors takes a proper display where a full-size board could never fit and the wall would otherwise stay bare. It claims a strip most rooms had given up on.
Q: Can the board be hung portrait or landscape?
A: Yes, it goes up either way. Run it as a long horizontal band down a corridor, or stand it tall and slim beside a door or in a stairwell. A wall mount kit with concealed fixings comes in the box, and the panel is light enough to hold while the fixings are set. The concealed fixings keep the finished look clean either way.
Q: How does the blue board sit against the red version?
A: Both are 1800mm x 600mm unframed, fire-certified boards taking pins and staples, so colour is the deciding factor. The navy NB7317B looks smart in classrooms, professional corridors and stairwells. The red NB7317R is far bolder, the pick where a notice must grab attention on a safety wall.
Q: Is the board light enough for one person to put up?
A: At 12kg it is light for its length, so one person can lift, hold and level it unaided. A wall mount kit and concealed fixings are supplied, and being slim and light it needs no second helper. With no frame, two can also sit end to end along a longer wall. A caretaker can rehang or move it without booking help.
Q: Is the board guaranteed, and where is it made?
A: It is British-made and carries a two-year guarantee, so it has a clear origin and lasting cover against faults. Built to recognised fire standards, it reassures a school or estates team that even a slim display meets quality and safety together. That cover gives a commercial buyer real reassurance.
Q: Can the board go outdoors, or is it indoor only?
A: It is made for indoor use. Kept inside, away from damp or open-air spots where moisture could reach the felt within the fire-rated build, it holds its finish and its rating. A covered corridor, stairwell or lobby is exactly where it belongs. A covered lobby or landing keeps it in good order for years.
Q: What are the delivery and returns terms?
A: The board comes with free UK mainland delivery, and Displaysense has supplied displays since 1978. A 28-day returns policy applies, so there is time to check the board suits the wall once it arrives before you commit to it. The board is packed to arrive ready to hang.
Q: Does the board come in other sizes or colours?
A: Yes. At this narrow 1800mm x 600mm size it also comes in red, green and grey, and the unframed fire-rated line runs in fuller sizes too, including an 1800mm x 1200mm board for a taller wall. The felt and fire rating stay the same across them. Matching the colours keeps a scheme consistent across a building.
Fitting a Fire-Rated Board into a Tight Circulation Space
A narrow board only earns a stairwell or corridor when its rating and its notices suit a route people move through, so the shape and the content matter as much as the wall. These Displaysense guides cover whether schools need fire-resistant boards, the best boards for busy corridors, a full noticeboard buying guide, and wider communication strategies for keeping a tight space clear.

A: The board comes with free UK mainland delivery, and Displaysense has supplied displays since 1978. A 28-day returns policy applies, so there is time to check the board suits the wall once it arrives before you commit to it. The board is packed to arrive ready to hang.
Q: Does the board come in other sizes or colours?
A: Yes. At this narrow 1800mm x 600mm size it also comes in red, green and grey, and the unframed fire-rated line runs in fuller sizes too, including an 1800mm x 1200mm board for a taller wall. The felt and fire rating stay the same across them. Matching the colours keeps a scheme consistent across a building.

Fitting a Fire-Rated Board into a Tight Circulation Space
A narrow board only earns a stairwell or corridor when its rating and its notices suit a route people move through, so the shape and the content matter as much as the wall. These Displaysense guides cover whether schools need fire-resistant boards, the best boards for busy corridors, a full noticeboard buying guide, and wider communication strategies for keeping a tight space clear.

Fit Notices into a Tight Space with a Blue Felt Noticeboard
Not every wall has room for a full board, and this slim navy noticeboard is made for the ones that do not, slipping into a stairwell, a corridor pillar or the strip beside a doorway. Tested as a whole composite to BS 476 Class 0 and to Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, it takes pins and staples, and with felt-wrapped edges and no frame it sits flush on a tight wall. The deep blue keeps a notice clear against sharp black text, and one person can lift and level it. Made in Britain with a two-year guarantee, it brings a compliant board to a wall that had none. The mounting is straightforward, and the deep navy finish looks deliberate rather than loud on the wall. Best suited to schools, healthcare sites and stairwells where a slim run of wall still has to meet fire rules.
Why a Narrow Board Still Needs Full Fire Cover
- Slim enough for a tight wall: Barely any drop from top to bottom means this pin board takes the thin wall strips a standard one has to skip, so a stairwell, a pillar or a doorway margin finally holds a display. Circulation areas gain a spot for notices without giving up walking room.
- A deep blue with strong contrast: A rich navy felt gives the board a considered, quality look, and black print shows up crisply against the dark ground so notices read at a glance. It is a grown-up tone for a corridor or stairwell, never a colour that clamours for attention.
- Certified as one whole board: Independent testing grades the assembled panel Class 0 to BS 476 and, under the European scheme, Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1, covering the finished item and not just the felt. That whole-board result is what lets a slim display go on an escape route.
- Pins and staples both bite in: A push pin or a staple presses firmly into the navy felt and pulls out without a tear, so a laminated notice or a printed sheet fixes fast and lifts clean. Even a narrow information board stays neat through constant swapping.
- Felt-wrapped, no surround: Felt taken over each edge does away with a frame, so the slim board sits flat and seamless, with nothing standing proud to catch a passing sleeve. Along a busy stair that unbroken face keeps a tight wall looking crisp right through the day.
- UK-made and light to fit: A British build and a two-year guarantee arrive with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings, and the panel is light enough for one person to carry and hang. A compliant wall board goes up with only the mounting left to sort.
Where a Slim Blue Board Suits a Stairwell Wall
| Schools and Colleges | A stairwell wall or a corridor pillar carries safety notices and pupil information on this slim navy board, the deep felt keeping the wall composed while its narrow drop reaches strips a full board could not. The wall stays orderly all day. |
| Hospitals and Healthcare | Along ward corridors and clinical routes, patient guidance and staff notices go up on a fire-rated navy board, the calm tone at home in a care setting and the composite rating holding good on a corridor bound by fire rules. |
| Universities and Campuses | Timetables and departmental notices appear on a narrow navy board down study-block corridors, the considered shade reading cleanly amid the traffic while the certified build answers what an estate has to uphold. It holds up on the busiest floors. |
| Local Authority Buildings | Civic buildings post public information and safety updates on a composite-tested navy board through their stairwells, the professional colour looking suitably official and the slim, frameless form keeping a public wall neat. |
| Stairwells and Escape Routes | Right where a protected stair pinches, a Class 0 navy board holds evacuation guidance, the strong contrast making the instruction easy to read on a route the building keeps compliant every day. A drill notice is never lost here. |
| Circulation and Through-Ways | Between doors and around lift lobbies, wayfinding and key notices sit on a narrow navy board, the compact drop taking up slim gaps a standard one leaves bare while the deep felt keeps the panel composed. No strip of wall goes to waste. |

NB7317B is a narrow-format Unframed Fire-Resistant Blue Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. A slim, wide-but-short 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, built for tight wall spaces where a full-size board will not fit. Dimensions 1800mm x 600mm. Weight 12kg. Fire-rated blue felt for pins and staples, unframed edge-wrapped construction, portrait or landscape mounting, wall mount kit with concealed fixings included, light enough for one person to fit, made in the UK, two-year guarantee, indoor use. Used by schools, healthcare sites, universities and local authorities for notices and safety information in stairwells, corridors and other narrow circulation spaces. Also available in red, green and grey at this size and in other sizes, with a taller blue board for fuller walls. Displaysense, UK display specialist based in Hertfordshire since 1978. Free UK delivery.
This board is far longer than it is deep, a shape made for the slim bands of wall a square or full-size board has to leave alone. That is why it settles onto a stairwell, a pier between two windows or the short run next to a doorway. Hung as an upright column or laid flat as a low strip, it turns an ignored sliver of wall into somewhere notices can live, and it steals no room from the corridor it sits in, which is generally why that wall was bare to begin with. Fitted low or high, it gives a cramped landing or lobby a proper place for notices at last.
Deep and considered rather than bright, the blue reads as a navy that looks deliberate on a wall instead of shouting from it. Set against that dark ground, black print stays crisp and a notice is caught at a glance, and the felt keeps its richness over time instead of drifting to a washed-out tone. In a stairwell or a professional corridor, a colour with that weight tends to suit the setting better than a vivid one. It is the sort of blue a reception can carry without the wall ever feeling loud.
A certificate here covers the finished board rather than the felt by itself, because the whole thing was tested as a single composite and graded Class 0 to BS 476 alongside Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1. A rating earned by the complete panel is what permits a slim board on a protected stair or an escape route, and the document sits in the building's fire records for whenever an inspection calls for it. For a facilities team that keeps its paperwork in order, having the whole-board result on hand settles a question before it is asked.
Because the panel is light, one person can raise it, hold it steady and drive the included concealed fixings into a solid wall without a second pair of hands, and with no surround two boards butt together for a longer wall. British-built and guaranteed for two years, it is an indoor board, best kept back from the moisture that would creep into the felt. Nothing about putting it up asks for a lock, a door or specialist tools, so a maintenance person has it level and fixed in short order.

The full specification for the NB7317B sits below. Each row gives the detail and a plain note on what it means for a slim, navy, fire-rated board headed for a tight corridor or stair. The stat boxes above pull out the headline figures, and the rows then fill in the rest, from surface and fixings to the fire grade and its origin.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Unframed fire-resistant noticeboard | A slim, frameless blue board, fire-tested in one piece, sized for the thin wall runs a standard board leaves unused. It earns a place where a bigger board never could. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated blue felt | A deep navy felt, fire-rated, that sets off black text sharply and reads as considered rather than loud. The wall stays smart without shouting for notice. |
| Board Size | 1800mm x 600mm | The long, shallow footprint drops into a stairwell or the pier between windows where space is scarce. Wall that usually sits bare finally does a job. |
| Weight | 12kg | Light enough for one person to lift and hold plumb while the fixings go in, no helper required. One maintenance visit has it up and level. |
| Surface | Fire-rated blue felt, pins and staples | Push pins and staples both bite the felt cleanly, so notices go up and come down without a mark. The face takes constant swaps without wear. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped fabric | Felt wrapped over every edge leaves no frame, so the board lies flush with nothing to catch a sleeve. A flush front reads clean in a public space. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Hangs as a tall column or a low strip, whichever way the wall run happens to fall. You pick the layout, not the board. |
| Fixings | Wall mount kit with concealed fixings | The concealed fixings and mount kit are in the box, so it reaches a solid wall on arrival, screws hidden. Only the wall type is left for you to judge. |
| Fire Certification | Class 0 to BS 476, with B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1 | Independently rated to both fire standards, giving a specifier the proof to place it on a protected route. Proof enough for a specifier's file. |
| Fire Testing | Complete composite unit | Graded as the finished board, not a single layer, so the rating covers the whole item on the wall. The rating follows the board onto the wall. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | Two years of cover stands behind it, so a building buys a certified board with lasting confidence. Longer-term cover for a commercial buy. |
| Origin | Made in the UK | British-made to recognised fire standards, giving the board a clear provenance behind its rating. Provenance that stands behind the rating. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Narrow Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: Which fire-rated noticeboard is best for a narrow stairwell or corridor?
A: The best fire-rated noticeboard for a narrow stairwell or corridor is the NB7317B, a 1800mm x 600mm unframed blue felt board rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. Its slim drop fits where a full board will not, the deep navy reads as considered rather than loud, and the felt takes pins and staples.
Q: Is the fire certification for the whole board or just the felt?
A: The rating belongs to the finished board. Tested as one composite, it earns Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the certificate covers the complete panel that hangs on the wall rather than the fabric alone. That is what clears it for a protected stair. The certificate is there to show an inspector on request.
Q: What is the blue felt like on this board?
A: The blue here is deep and rich rather than bright, giving the board a smart, considered look on the wall. Black text shows up crisply against the dark ground, so notices stay clear, and the saturated colour holds its depth over time instead of fading to a washed-out shade. Under corridor lighting the navy stays even and rich.
Q: Will a staple hold in the felt as well as a drawing pin?
A: Both grip well. A drawing pin presses into the navy felt and a staple bites just as firmly, so laminated notices and printed sheets stay put and lift away without a mark. It keeps even a narrow board quick to rearrange as the week moves on. Nothing is left behind on the felt when a notice comes down.
Q: How big is the board and where does the narrow shape earn its place?
A: It measures 1800mm by 600mm, a long but shallow strip made for tight wall spaces. A stairwell, a corridor pillar or the gap between two doors takes a proper display where a full-size board could never fit and the wall would otherwise stay bare. It claims a strip most rooms had given up on.
Q: Can the board be hung portrait or landscape?
A: Yes, it goes up either way. Run it as a long horizontal band down a corridor, or stand it tall and slim beside a door or in a stairwell. A wall mount kit with concealed fixings comes in the box, and the panel is light enough to hold while the fixings are set. The concealed fixings keep the finished look clean either way.
Q: How does the blue board sit against the red version?
A: Both are 1800mm x 600mm unframed, fire-certified boards taking pins and staples, so colour is the deciding factor. The navy NB7317B looks smart in classrooms, professional corridors and stairwells. The red NB7317R is far bolder, the pick where a notice must grab attention on a safety wall.
Q: Is the board light enough for one person to put up?
A: At 12kg it is light for its length, so one person can lift, hold and level it unaided. A wall mount kit and concealed fixings are supplied, and being slim and light it needs no second helper. With no frame, two can also sit end to end along a longer wall. A caretaker can rehang or move it without booking help.
Q: Is the board guaranteed, and where is it made?
A: It is British-made and carries a two-year guarantee, so it has a clear origin and lasting cover against faults. Built to recognised fire standards, it reassures a school or estates team that even a slim display meets quality and safety together. That cover gives a commercial buyer real reassurance.
Q: Can the board go outdoors, or is it indoor only?
A: It is made for indoor use. Kept inside, away from damp or open-air spots where moisture could reach the felt within the fire-rated build, it holds its finish and its rating. A covered corridor, stairwell or lobby is exactly where it belongs. A covered lobby or landing keeps it in good order for years.
Q: What are the delivery and returns terms?
A: The board comes with free UK mainland delivery, and Displaysense has supplied displays since 1978. A 28-day returns policy applies, so there is time to check the board suits the wall once it arrives before you commit to it. The board is packed to arrive ready to hang.
Q: Does the board come in other sizes or colours?
A: Yes. At this narrow 1800mm x 600mm size it also comes in red, green and grey, and the unframed fire-rated line runs in fuller sizes too, including an 1800mm x 1200mm board for a taller wall. The felt and fire rating stay the same across them. Matching the colours keeps a scheme consistent across a building.

A: Both are 1800mm x 600mm unframed, fire-certified boards taking pins and staples, so colour is the deciding factor. The navy NB7317B looks smart in classrooms, professional corridors and stairwells. The red NB7317R is far bolder, the pick where a notice must grab attention on a safety wall.
Q: Is the board light enough for one person to put up?
A: At 12kg it is light for its length, so one person can lift, hold and level it unaided. A wall mount kit and concealed fixings are supplied, and being slim and light it needs no second helper. With no frame, two can also sit end to end along a longer wall. A caretaker can rehang or move it without booking help.
Q: Is the board guaranteed, and where is it made?
A: It is British-made and carries a two-year guarantee, so it has a clear origin and lasting cover against faults. Built to recognised fire standards, it reassures a school or estates team that even a slim display meets quality and safety together. That cover gives a commercial buyer real reassurance.
Q: Can the board go outdoors, or is it indoor only?
A: It is made for indoor use. Kept inside, away from damp or open-air spots where moisture could reach the felt within the fire-rated build, it holds its finish and its rating. A covered corridor, stairwell or lobby is exactly where it belongs. A covered lobby or landing keeps it in good order for years.
Q: What are the delivery and returns terms?
A: The board comes with free UK mainland delivery, and Displaysense has supplied displays since 1978. A 28-day returns policy applies, so there is time to check the board suits the wall once it arrives before you commit to it. The board is packed to arrive ready to hang.
Q: Does the board come in other sizes or colours?
A: Yes. At this narrow 1800mm x 600mm size it also comes in red, green and grey, and the unframed fire-rated line runs in fuller sizes too, including an 1800mm x 1200mm board for a taller wall. The felt and fire rating stay the same across them. Matching the colours keeps a scheme consistent across a building.

Fitting a Fire-Rated Board into a Tight Circulation Space
A narrow board only earns a stairwell or corridor when its rating and its notices suit a route people move through, so the shape and the content matter as much as the wall. These Displaysense guides cover whether schools need fire-resistant boards, the best boards for busy corridors, a full noticeboard buying guide, and wider communication strategies for keeping a tight space clear.
