One Fire-Rated Blue Display Board That Puts Every Notice in One Place

Small boards multiply across a big building until no one is sure which wall holds what, and the fix is fewer, bigger surfaces, which is what this blue board delivers as the widest in the fire-rated felt range. One face takes the notices that would otherwise be spread over three or four separate boards, so a whole department or floor works from a single managed wall. Blue reads as general information rather than a warning, which is why it suits everyday timetables, rotas and service notices, and it doubles as a zoning colour when a site runs one board per team or per subject. The whole board carries a composite fire grade, Class 0 to BS 476 with Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so consolidating onto it loses nothing on compliance. It is the same board the red version is, in a colour that says information rather than alarm, so the choice between them turns on what a wall needs to signal, not on the specification. Best suited to large hospitals, universities and head offices where one broad wall has to absorb the information a cluster of smaller boards used to hold.

Why a Single Blue Information Board Beats Several Small Ones

  • Fewer boards, one big surface: A single wide face holds what three or four smaller boards would, so a building runs on one managed wall instead of a scatter of part-full boards that nobody keeps current. It gives a floor a single place to look.
  • Blue for information, not alarm: Where red flags a warning, blue reads as everyday information, so it fits timetables, rotas and service notices, and it lets a site zone its walls with one colour to a team or a subject. Black print stays sharp on it.
  • Compliance measured on the whole board: The grade is taken on the assembled board, felt and backing together, to Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so pulling several notices onto one surface costs nothing in fire compliance. A specifier can sign off one big surface as readily as a small one.
  • Pins or Velcro, no marks: Push pins press into the blue felt and hook-and-loop pads grip it too, so heavy paper and light card both hold and then lift away without leaving a mark on the surface. Reworking the wall stays quick.
  • No frame to box it in: With no surround, the board finishes level against the wall as one unbroken face, so nothing stands proud to catch a trolley or a passing bag on a busy circulation route where space is tight.
  • Goes up wide and level: It fixes landscape to run the full width of the wall, the supplied fixings suited to that, and two people bring it up to a level line with only the final fixing left to sort on site.

Where One Wide Blue Board Carries a Whole Building's Notices

Hospitals and Healthcare Trusts Long ward corridors and staff hubs generate more notices than a small board can hold, so one wide blue surface gathers rotas, guidance and safety information together, the fire grade meeting what a clinical route is held to. One board on the main corridor then does the work a row of smaller ones used to.
Universities and Colleges Departmental noticeboards multiply fast across a campus, and a single broad blue board pulls a term of timetables, room changes and notices into one place students learn to check, its composite grade covering a shared route. Students get one reliable point to check for changes each week.
Head Offices and Corporate Floors Open-plan floors collect rotas, policies and project updates on scraps of wall, so a large blue board consolidates them onto one managed surface a whole team works from, with a fire grade fit for a commercial building.
Transport and Leisure Hubs High-traffic concourses and leisure centres post a constant churn of information, and a wide blue board takes the volume in one certified span, the colour marking it out as general information rather than an alarm.
Schools and Academies Whole-school notices, safeguarding information and fire-action steps outgrow a small board quickly, so a broad blue surface holds the lot on one wall pupils pass daily, the tested grade suiting a route in constant use.
Councils and Public Buildings Civic buildings run notices for staff and the public at once, and a single large blue board keeps both streams on one wall a facilities team can manage, the fire certificate covering a public space. One managed board then suits a building that stays open to the public all day.

Need a Smaller Blue Board?

Working to a shorter wall? The fire-rated blue felt also comes as the Unframed Fire Resistant Blue Felt Noticeboard 1800mm x 1200mm, free UK mainland delivery included.

NB7324B is an Unframed Fire-Resistant Blue Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. The widest board in the fire-rated felt range, made to consolidate a building's notices onto one certified surface. Delivered as two panels that meet into one board. Dimensions 2400mm x 1200mm. Weight 38.25kg. Blue fire-rated felt, frameless and finished flush edge to edge, tested as a composite to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0. Accepts push pins and hook-and-loop Velcro, hangs landscape, ships with wall fixings, for indoor use. Chosen by hospitals, universities, head offices and councils that need one large information board rather than several small ones. Also comes in green, red and grey in this wide size. Displaysense, UK display specialist since 1978. Free UK delivery.

One large board does the job of several small ones, and that is the practical case for going wide here. Across a big building the notices that matter get spread over separate boards until each is half full and none is trusted, whereas a single broad face pulls a department's rotas, plans and safety notices into one place people actually check. Fewer surfaces also means fewer things to maintain, since one wall is updated on a round rather than a dozen scattered boards. The width is not for show, it is what lets one board carry the load a cluster of small ones used to. It also reads better, because a person scanning one wall takes in the whole picture at once instead of checking board after board and hoping nothing was missed.

Colour carries meaning on a wall of signage, and blue is read as general information where red is read as a warning. That makes a blue board the right home for the everyday material, the timetables, rotas and service notices people check rather than react to. On a site with several boards, blue also works as a zoning colour, one shade to a team, a subject or a floor, so a reader knows from across the room which board is theirs. None of that changes the felt underneath, which behaves the same whatever the colour.

Push pins go into the blue felt and hook-and-loop pads hold on it, giving two ways to fix a notice that each come away without marking the face, so a wall that changes weekly stays clean. With no frame, the board meets the wall as one continuous face, no raised lip for a trolley or a bag to catch where a route runs busy. On a board this wide that flat front does much to keep a shared walkway clear. The felt closes over old pin holes as notices change, so the face still looks even after months of steady use.

Fire performance is certified on the built board, so the blue felt and its backing are graded together rather than as separate materials, and the result, Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1, belongs to the object on the wall. That is what lets a consolidated blue board sit on a corridor or a shared route, and its paperwork is kept on record for any inspection. Because it arrives as two panels that meet on the wall, a board this wide still carries in without a special delivery, and two people set it landscape on the supplied fixings with nothing to work around, no frame, no lock, no hinge.

FAQs About This Large Blue Fire-Rated Noticeboard

What is the best large fire-rated noticeboard for a big hospital, campus or head office wall?
The best large fire-rated noticeboard for a big hospital, campus or head office wall is the NB7324B, the widest board in the fire-rated felt range at 2400mm x 1200mm. One unframed blue face holds the notices several small boards would carry, it is graded whole to Class 0 under BS 476 with Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, and the felt takes push pins and Velcro. Blue marks it as general information rather than a warning, which is why big institutions choose it to consolidate a wall.
Why blue rather than red?
The two colours say different things. Red is read as a warning and pulls the eye to an urgent notice, while blue is read as general information, which suits the everyday timetables, rotas and service notices that make up most of a board. Blue also lets a large site zone its walls, one colour to a team or a floor, so people find the right board faster.
Does the fire rating cover the whole board or only the felt?
The whole board. The blue felt and its backing are graded together as one make-up, returning Class 0 under BS 476 with Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the classification belongs to the finished board and not to a piece of loose felt. That is what lets a wide blue board go onto a corridor or a shared escape route, and its certificate is kept on hand for inspection.
How many small boards does it replace?
In practice one board this size takes the place of three or four smaller ones, its single face measuring 2400mm by 1200mm. Bringing that many notices onto a single wall means one place to look and one surface to keep current, rather than a spread of part-full boards no one quite trusts. That consolidation is the main reason to go this wide.
How do notices attach?
By pin or by Velcro. A push pin holds in the blue felt and a hook-and-loop pad sticks to it just as securely, so you can pin printed notices or mount lighter pieces on Velcro. Each comes away cleanly without marking the surface, keeping a busy wall easy to rework between one week and the next.
Can it go up in portrait?
Landscape is the intended fit, and the supplied fixings match it. Because the board is far wider than it is tall, it is meant to stretch along a wall and gather a long run of notices, not stand upright. Fitted that way, every part of the surface stays in comfortable reach.
Does it arrive in one piece?
Not quite. It ships as two sections that meet on the wall to form one continuous board, and two smaller sections are much simpler to bring into an office or up a stairwell than one large sheet. Once mounted the seam sits discreetly behind the notices.
Can it be cut down to fit?
No. Altering the size breaks the fire certificate, which applies to the board exactly as built, so it has to stay at full dimensions. Where a smaller wall needs covering, the blue felt is offered in smaller boards that each carry their own certification instead.
Is it worth replacing several boards with one?
For a wall that has grown a patchwork of small boards, usually yes. One large surface is easier to scan, easier to keep current and gives every notice the same prominence, and it removes the guesswork of which board holds what. The fire grade covers the whole face, so nothing is lost by consolidating onto it.
Does it suit a hospital or a busy public building?
Yes. High-traffic buildings generate a steady churn of notices, and a wide blue board absorbs that volume on one certified wall while the whole-composite fire grade meets the standards a public or clinical route is held to. Blue keeps it reading as information rather than an alarm.
What are the delivery and returns terms?
Delivery to the UK mainland is free, the board arriving as two boxed sections with its fixings. Displaysense has been supplying display equipment since 1978, and a 28-day returns window lets you check the board suits the wall once it is mounted.
Should I choose the blue or the red version?
Both are the same 2400mm x 1200mm unframed board on the same whole-composite fire grade, so the choice is what the colour signals. The NB7324B in blue reads as general information and suits a wall of everyday notices, and it doubles as a zoning colour on a big site. The NB7324R in red reads as a warning and is the pick where a fire or evacuation notice has to stand out. Green and grey complete the size.

Choosing and Siting a Large Fire-Rated Noticeboard

Getting a large board right is as much about where it goes and what it has to meet as the board itself, and in schools and on campuses fire rules and busy corridors both come into play. The Displaysense guides below look at whether schools need fire-resistant noticeboards, how to choose a school noticeboard, the best boards for school corridors, and noticeboards for university student accommodation.

Delivery to the UK mainland is free, the board arriving as two boxed sections with its fixings. Displaysense has been supplying display equipment since 1978, and a 28-day returns window lets you check the board suits the wall once it is mounted.
Should I choose the blue or the red version?
Both are the same 2400mm x 1200mm unframed board on the same whole-composite fire grade, so the choice is what the colour signals. The NB7324B in blue reads as general information and suits a wall of everyday notices, and it doubles as a zoning colour on a big site. The NB7324R in red reads as a warning and is the pick where a fire or evacuation notice has to stand out. Green and grey complete the size.

Choosing and Siting a Large Fire-Rated Noticeboard

Getting a large board right is as much about where it goes and what it has to meet as the board itself, and in schools and on campuses fire rules and busy corridors both come into play. The Displaysense guides below look at whether schools need fire-resistant noticeboards, how to choose a school noticeboard, the best boards for school corridors, and noticeboards for university student accommodation.

One Fire-Rated Blue Display Board That Puts Every Notice in One Place

Small boards multiply across a big building until no one is sure which wall holds what, and the fix is fewer, bigger surfaces, which is what this blue board delivers as the widest in the fire-rated felt range. One face takes the notices that would otherwise be spread over three or four separate boards, so a whole department or floor works from a single managed wall. Blue reads as general information rather than a warning, which is why it suits everyday timetables, rotas and service notices, and it doubles as a zoning colour when a site runs one board per team or per subject. The whole board carries a composite fire grade, Class 0 to BS 476 with Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so consolidating onto it loses nothing on compliance. It is the same board the red version is, in a colour that says information rather than alarm, so the choice between them turns on what a wall needs to signal, not on the specification. Best suited to large hospitals, universities and head offices where one broad wall has to absorb the information a cluster of smaller boards used to hold.

Why a Single Blue Information Board Beats Several Small Ones

  • Fewer boards, one big surface: A single wide face holds what three or four smaller boards would, so a building runs on one managed wall instead of a scatter of part-full boards that nobody keeps current. It gives a floor a single place to look.
  • Blue for information, not alarm: Where red flags a warning, blue reads as everyday information, so it fits timetables, rotas and service notices, and it lets a site zone its walls with one colour to a team or a subject. Black print stays sharp on it.
  • Compliance measured on the whole board: The grade is taken on the assembled board, felt and backing together, to Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so pulling several notices onto one surface costs nothing in fire compliance. A specifier can sign off one big surface as readily as a small one.
  • Pins or Velcro, no marks: Push pins press into the blue felt and hook-and-loop pads grip it too, so heavy paper and light card both hold and then lift away without leaving a mark on the surface. Reworking the wall stays quick.
  • No frame to box it in: With no surround, the board finishes level against the wall as one unbroken face, so nothing stands proud to catch a trolley or a passing bag on a busy circulation route where space is tight.
  • Goes up wide and level: It fixes landscape to run the full width of the wall, the supplied fixings suited to that, and two people bring it up to a level line with only the final fixing left to sort on site.

Where One Wide Blue Board Carries a Whole Building's Notices

Hospitals and Healthcare Trusts Long ward corridors and staff hubs generate more notices than a small board can hold, so one wide blue surface gathers rotas, guidance and safety information together, the fire grade meeting what a clinical route is held to. One board on the main corridor then does the work a row of smaller ones used to.
Universities and Colleges Departmental noticeboards multiply fast across a campus, and a single broad blue board pulls a term of timetables, room changes and notices into one place students learn to check, its composite grade covering a shared route. Students get one reliable point to check for changes each week.
Head Offices and Corporate Floors Open-plan floors collect rotas, policies and project updates on scraps of wall, so a large blue board consolidates them onto one managed surface a whole team works from, with a fire grade fit for a commercial building.
Transport and Leisure Hubs High-traffic concourses and leisure centres post a constant churn of information, and a wide blue board takes the volume in one certified span, the colour marking it out as general information rather than an alarm.
Schools and Academies Whole-school notices, safeguarding information and fire-action steps outgrow a small board quickly, so a broad blue surface holds the lot on one wall pupils pass daily, the tested grade suiting a route in constant use.
Councils and Public Buildings Civic buildings run notices for staff and the public at once, and a single large blue board keeps both streams on one wall a facilities team can manage, the fire certificate covering a public space. One managed board then suits a building that stays open to the public all day.

Need a Smaller Blue Board?

Working to a shorter wall? The fire-rated blue felt also comes as the Unframed Fire Resistant Blue Felt Noticeboard 1800mm x 1200mm, free UK mainland delivery included.

NB7324B is an Unframed Fire-Resistant Blue Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. The widest board in the fire-rated felt range, made to consolidate a building's notices onto one certified surface. Delivered as two panels that meet into one board. Dimensions 2400mm x 1200mm. Weight 38.25kg. Blue fire-rated felt, frameless and finished flush edge to edge, tested as a composite to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0. Accepts push pins and hook-and-loop Velcro, hangs landscape, ships with wall fixings, for indoor use. Chosen by hospitals, universities, head offices and councils that need one large information board rather than several small ones. Also comes in green, red and grey in this wide size. Displaysense, UK display specialist since 1978. Free UK delivery.

One large board does the job of several small ones, and that is the practical case for going wide here. Across a big building the notices that matter get spread over separate boards until each is half full and none is trusted, whereas a single broad face pulls a department's rotas, plans and safety notices into one place people actually check. Fewer surfaces also means fewer things to maintain, since one wall is updated on a round rather than a dozen scattered boards. The width is not for show, it is what lets one board carry the load a cluster of small ones used to. It also reads better, because a person scanning one wall takes in the whole picture at once instead of checking board after board and hoping nothing was missed.

Colour carries meaning on a wall of signage, and blue is read as general information where red is read as a warning. That makes a blue board the right home for the everyday material, the timetables, rotas and service notices people check rather than react to. On a site with several boards, blue also works as a zoning colour, one shade to a team, a subject or a floor, so a reader knows from across the room which board is theirs. None of that changes the felt underneath, which behaves the same whatever the colour.

Push pins go into the blue felt and hook-and-loop pads hold on it, giving two ways to fix a notice that each come away without marking the face, so a wall that changes weekly stays clean. With no frame, the board meets the wall as one continuous face, no raised lip for a trolley or a bag to catch where a route runs busy. On a board this wide that flat front does much to keep a shared walkway clear. The felt closes over old pin holes as notices change, so the face still looks even after months of steady use.

Fire performance is certified on the built board, so the blue felt and its backing are graded together rather than as separate materials, and the result, Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1, belongs to the object on the wall. That is what lets a consolidated blue board sit on a corridor or a shared route, and its paperwork is kept on record for any inspection. Because it arrives as two panels that meet on the wall, a board this wide still carries in without a special delivery, and two people set it landscape on the supplied fixings with nothing to work around, no frame, no lock, no hinge.

FAQs About This Large Blue Fire-Rated Noticeboard

What is the best large fire-rated noticeboard for a big hospital, campus or head office wall?
The best large fire-rated noticeboard for a big hospital, campus or head office wall is the NB7324B, the widest board in the fire-rated felt range at 2400mm x 1200mm. One unframed blue face holds the notices several small boards would carry, it is graded whole to Class 0 under BS 476 with Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, and the felt takes push pins and Velcro. Blue marks it as general information rather than a warning, which is why big institutions choose it to consolidate a wall.
Why blue rather than red?
The two colours say different things. Red is read as a warning and pulls the eye to an urgent notice, while blue is read as general information, which suits the everyday timetables, rotas and service notices that make up most of a board. Blue also lets a large site zone its walls, one colour to a team or a floor, so people find the right board faster.
Does the fire rating cover the whole board or only the felt?
The whole board. The blue felt and its backing are graded together as one make-up, returning Class 0 under BS 476 with Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the classification belongs to the finished board and not to a piece of loose felt. That is what lets a wide blue board go onto a corridor or a shared escape route, and its certificate is kept on hand for inspection.
How many small boards does it replace?
In practice one board this size takes the place of three or four smaller ones, its single face measuring 2400mm by 1200mm. Bringing that many notices onto a single wall means one place to look and one surface to keep current, rather than a spread of part-full boards no one quite trusts. That consolidation is the main reason to go this wide.
How do notices attach?
By pin or by Velcro. A push pin holds in the blue felt and a hook-and-loop pad sticks to it just as securely, so you can pin printed notices or mount lighter pieces on Velcro. Each comes away cleanly without marking the surface, keeping a busy wall easy to rework between one week and the next.
Can it go up in portrait?
Landscape is the intended fit, and the supplied fixings match it. Because the board is far wider than it is tall, it is meant to stretch along a wall and gather a long run of notices, not stand upright. Fitted that way, every part of the surface stays in comfortable reach.
Does it arrive in one piece?
Not quite. It ships as two sections that meet on the wall to form one continuous board, and two smaller sections are much simpler to bring into an office or up a stairwell than one large sheet. Once mounted the seam sits discreetly behind the notices.
Can it be cut down to fit?
No. Altering the size breaks the fire certificate, which applies to the board exactly as built, so it has to stay at full dimensions. Where a smaller wall needs covering, the blue felt is offered in smaller boards that each carry their own certification instead.
Is it worth replacing several boards with one?
For a wall that has grown a patchwork of small boards, usually yes. One large surface is easier to scan, easier to keep current and gives every notice the same prominence, and it removes the guesswork of which board holds what. The fire grade covers the whole face, so nothing is lost by consolidating onto it.
Does it suit a hospital or a busy public building?
Yes. High-traffic buildings generate a steady churn of notices, and a wide blue board absorbs that volume on one certified wall while the whole-composite fire grade meets the standards a public or clinical route is held to. Blue keeps it reading as information rather than an alarm.
What are the delivery and returns terms?
Delivery to the UK mainland is free, the board arriving as two boxed sections with its fixings. Displaysense has been supplying display equipment since 1978, and a 28-day returns window lets you check the board suits the wall once it is mounted.
Should I choose the blue or the red version?
Both are the same 2400mm x 1200mm unframed board on the same whole-composite fire grade, so the choice is what the colour signals. The NB7324B in blue reads as general information and suits a wall of everyday notices, and it doubles as a zoning colour on a big site. The NB7324R in red reads as a warning and is the pick where a fire or evacuation notice has to stand out. Green and grey complete the size.

By pin or by Velcro. A push pin holds in the blue felt and a hook-and-loop pad sticks to it just as securely, so you can pin printed notices or mount lighter pieces on Velcro. Each comes away cleanly without marking the surface, keeping a busy wall easy to rework between one week and the next.
Can it go up in portrait?
Landscape is the intended fit, and the supplied fixings match it. Because the board is far wider than it is tall, it is meant to stretch along a wall and gather a long run of notices, not stand upright. Fitted that way, every part of the surface stays in comfortable reach.
Does it arrive in one piece?
Not quite. It ships as two sections that meet on the wall to form one continuous board, and two smaller sections are much simpler to bring into an office or up a stairwell than one large sheet. Once mounted the seam sits discreetly behind the notices.
Can it be cut down to fit?
No. Altering the size breaks the fire certificate, which applies to the board exactly as built, so it has to stay at full dimensions. Where a smaller wall needs covering, the blue felt is offered in smaller boards that each carry their own certification instead.
Is it worth replacing several boards with one?
For a wall that has grown a patchwork of small boards, usually yes. One large surface is easier to scan, easier to keep current and gives every notice the same prominence, and it removes the guesswork of which board holds what. The fire grade covers the whole face, so nothing is lost by consolidating onto it.
Does it suit a hospital or a busy public building?
Yes. High-traffic buildings generate a steady churn of notices, and a wide blue board absorbs that volume on one certified wall while the whole-composite fire grade meets the standards a public or clinical route is held to. Blue keeps it reading as information rather than an alarm.
What are the delivery and returns terms?
Delivery to the UK mainland is free, the board arriving as two boxed sections with its fixings. Displaysense has been supplying display equipment since 1978, and a 28-day returns window lets you check the board suits the wall once it is mounted.
Should I choose the blue or the red version?
Both are the same 2400mm x 1200mm unframed board on the same whole-composite fire grade, so the choice is what the colour signals. The NB7324B in blue reads as general information and suits a wall of everyday notices, and it doubles as a zoning colour on a big site. The NB7324R in red reads as a warning and is the pick where a fire or evacuation notice has to stand out. Green and grey complete the size.

Choosing and Siting a Large Fire-Rated Noticeboard

Getting a large board right is as much about where it goes and what it has to meet as the board itself, and in schools and on campuses fire rules and busy corridors both come into play. The Displaysense guides below look at whether schools need fire-resistant noticeboards, how to choose a school noticeboard, the best boards for school corridors, and noticeboards for university student accommodation.
