Cover a Large Wall with a Grey Felt Noticeboard
A large wall in an office, school or public building holds a great deal of information, provided the board is broad enough to take it, and this grey felt noticeboard covers a wide span in a single 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 carries the rating, not the felt on its own, so it can go onto a corridor or protected route that has to resist flame spread. The muted grey gives a wide wall an understated, professional look while black notices read sharply against it. It reaches the wall in two sections, which keeps a board this size simple to carry in and mount, and it fixes portrait or landscape to suit the space. Two people have it level in a single visit, and the understated finish keeps a workplace wall looking deliberate rather than busy. Once up, one grey face does the work of a whole noticeboard wall, the concealed fixings sitting out of sight so nothing shows but the notices. Best suited to offices, schools and healthcare sites where a large wall has to stay composed, hold plenty of notices and keep to fire rules.
Why This Information Board Suits Several Sectors
- A muted, professional grey: A considered grey rather than a bright shade, it leaves a large wall calm and orderly, and black text stands out sharply against the dark ground so notices read at a glance. The felt keeps its depth over years of use rather than fading on a busy wall.
- Certified as one whole board: Testing is done on the built-up board rather than the bare felt, so the grade of Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1 belongs to the object on the wall. That is what allows a big display onto a corridor or an escape route.
- Wide enough for a big wall: Sized to fill a broad span a smaller board would leave part-bare, it turns a large empty wall into one full working display. A wide grey face suits a busy office or corridor where there is a lot to show at once on a single wall.
- A firm grip for pins or staples: Push a pin or a staple into the grey felt and it holds, then lets go later without a mark, so a notice fixes fast and lifts away clean. On a large board that keeps a full, often-changed display simple to keep in order.
- No frame, wrapped edges: Every edge is bound in felt in place of a frame, so the board meets the wall flat, in one unbroken face with no raised border. On a wide run that clean front gives a passing bag or coat nothing to snag.
- UK-made, two-year guarantee: Built in Britain under a two-year guarantee, it ships with the mount kit and concealed fixings it needs. A large fire-rated wall board then goes up with just the fixing left to finish once it is on site.
Where This Large Grey Board Fits Best
| Offices and Corporate | Policies, rotas and updates sit on a large grey board along an open-plan or breakout wall, the understated colour at home in a workplace while one broad face covers the whole wall in a single run. The wall never feels cluttered. |
| Schools and Colleges | Pupil and staff notices go up on a large grey board down a corridor or hall wall, the muted felt holding a busy wall calm while the width takes in a span a smaller board would miss. Two people have it up in one visit. |
| Hospitals and Healthcare | Patient and staff notices take a fire-rated grey board on a ward corridor or waiting-area wall, the quiet tone settling a care space while testing of the whole board holds a wide panel to the fire rules a route must satisfy. Calm for a waiting area. |
| Universities and Campuses | Timetables and notices appear on a wide grey board across faculty foyers and lecture-block walls, the considered shade legible along a big span while the composite grade covers what a campus estate has to account for. It reads across a busy department. |
| Public Sector Buildings | Information and public notices go on a big grey board through council foyers and circulation areas, the measured colour reading as official while the broad face works a wide wall a civic building needs used fully. One board covers a civic wall. |
| Reception and Foyers | Directions and welcome notes greet arrivals on a large grey board at an entrance or lobby wall, the professional colour setting a composed first impression while the wide board carries a display the length of the wall. Seen as visitors arrive. |

Free UK delivery.
Scattering small notices across a wide wall leaves them lost, so a board that pulls everything into one broad panel is what actually gets information seen. This grey board runs the full width of a large office or hall wall, holding a complete set of notices in one place where a run of small boards would look piecemeal. It reaches the wall in two sections for handling and joins into a single face, and the muted felt keeps the whole thing looking ordered rather than busy. Receiving and fitting a board of this scale becomes routine rather than an event, and there is nothing to prop, lean or store between changes, with no single part too big for one person to carry.
Grey is as much the point of this board as its size. A muted, considered grey settles a large wall down, reading as professional rather than shouting for attention, and its depth lifts black text so a notice carries across a room. Where a paler surface would swallow the words, this one keeps them sharp, which is why a workplace that wants to look composed tends to reach for a shade like this. The tone never competes with what is pinned to it, and along a corridor that restraint reads as considered rather than plain or stark.
What earns this board a place on a corridor is that the rating covers the whole of it. Testing is carried out on the completed panel rather than the bare felt, returning Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the classification is true of the object hung on the wall. On a fire-sensitive route that distinction is the one that counts, and the certificate stands as the record an inspector will ask to see, and it holds good for as long as the board is in use, so it need not be re-checked each year.
Two people put a board this size up, and little else is involved. Concealed fixings go into a solid wall, the board sits portrait or landscape as the space dictates, and there is no lock, hinge or frame to fuss with. Once mounted it simply gets on with the job, a pin or a staple pressing into the felt and lifting out clean, so the display turns over without marking or wearing the surface. A second board can butt onto it where a wall runs longer still, and the whole thing can be taken down and re-hung elsewhere just as simply should a layout change.
What Ships with This Noticeboard

Here is the NB7318GY in full. Above the rows, five stat boxes give the numbers at a glance, and the table then works through every detail with a short line on what each does for a large grey board built to fill a wide wall. It sets out the surface, the fixings, the fire grade and the place of manufacture, laid out clearly.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Unframed fire-resistant grey felt noticeboard | A large grey board without a frame, tested as one composite and made to cover a wide wall while meeting the fire rules. It handles a wall a smaller one leaves unfinished. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated grey felt | An understated grey that leaves a large wall calm, its dark ground making black text easy to read across the board. It keeps a professional space looking ordered. |
| Board Size | 1800mm x 1200mm | Enough width to dress a large wall in one grey run once it is up, where a narrower board would come up short of the span. |
| Panel Format | Two sections, 900mm x 1200mm each | Split into two sections, so a board this wide can be carried in and hung without moving one full-width sheet. A pair of hands manage it. |
| Weight | 27.95kg | A weight to expect from a board this size, best lifted and set by two people. No hoist or extra kit is needed to raise it on site. |
| Surface | Felt, accepts pins and staples | Pins and staples both take hold and pull free without a trace, so a wide display can be reworked as often as a week demands. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped | The felt turns over each edge instead of a frame, leaving a flat, continuous front and no border standing proud of the wall face. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Mount it upright or on its side to fit the wall, with the supplied fixings working the same in either position to match how the wall runs. |
| Fixings | Wall mount kit with concealed fixings | A mount kit with hidden fixings is in the box, so the board is ready for a solid wall the day it turns up. You match the plug to your own wall type. |
| Fire Certification | BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0 | Independently graded to both standards, which is the evidence a specifier needs to place a large grey board on a monitored route. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | A two-year guarantee sits behind the board, so a sizeable fire-rated display is a purchase a building can settle on with confidence for the long term. |
| Origin | Made in the UK | British manufacture against recognised fire standards, giving even a large board a source that is clear on the record. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Large Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: What is the best fire-rated noticeboard for a large office or corridor wall?
A: The best fire-rated noticeboard for a large office or corridor wall is the NB7318GY, an 1800mm x 1200mm unframed grey felt board rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. Its muted grey 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.
Q: Is the whole board fire-rated, or only the felt?
A: The board as a whole. It is graded as a completed composite to Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the rating describes what actually hangs on the wall, not the fabric on its own. That clearance is what allows a large grey board onto a corridor or a monitored escape stair.
Q: What shade of grey is the felt?
A: A muted, considered grey, not a bright or silvery one, so it leaves a large wall looking calm and workmanlike. Black lettering lifts off it cleanly, letting notices carry the full width of the board, and the felt stays deep rather than fading as the years pass.
Q: What size of wall does it suit?
A: Its face runs 1800mm across and 1200mm high, room enough for a big hall, office or corridor. That gives a single grey display with space for a whole run of notices at once, where a narrower board would crowd and need trimming back. The room to spread out is the point on a busy wall, with space to lay a full week of notices out clearly.
Q: Does the board come in one piece?
A: No, it arrives in two sections for easier handling, which fix together on the wall into one continuous board. At this size two parts are far simpler to carry in and hang than a single sheet, and once up the join reads as a fine seam that is barely noticed behind the notices. Two lighter parts also spare a single awkward lift on site.
Q: Does it take two people to put up?
A: Yes, a board this size is a two-person job. One steadies it while the other fixes the concealed anchors provided into a solid wall, and no special equipment comes into it. It hangs upright or on its side, so it can follow whichever way the wall runs. A stepladder and a screwdriver are really all the job asks for.
Q: How does grey differ from the red board?
A: Both share the 1800mm x 1200mm unframed build, the fire grading and the pin-friendly felt, so the pick is one of tone. The grey NB7318GY is the quiet, workmanlike choice for offices and corridors, whereas the red NB7318R is the loud one, chosen when a warning or evacuation notice has to be impossible to miss.
Q: Can it be mounted portrait or landscape?
A: Either way works. Fit it wide and low or stand it tall, to suit the wall, and because nothing frames it the front stays flat and unbroken both ways. A single set of fixings covers whichever layout you choose, and none of them show once it is up.
Q: Will staples work as well as pins?
A: Yes to both. Push in a pin or fire in a staple and the grey felt takes either, letting go afterwards without a tear, so a printed sheet or laminated notice stays put and lifts away clean. On a board this wide that makes refreshing a full display a quick job, swapped over in minutes rather than re-drilled.
Q: Is the board suitable for outdoor use?
A: No, keep it indoors. Wet or humid air can reach the felt inside the fire-rated make-up, so a covered office, hall or corridor is where it belongs. Somewhere dry it holds its grey and its rating for years, which an untreated board out in the weather would not. Under cover it will look much the same in five years as on day one.
Q: How is it delivered, and are returns allowed?
A: Free UK mainland delivery is included, from Displaysense, in the display trade since 1978. A 28-day returns window means you can be sure it works on the wall after it goes up, without committing before you have seen it in place.
Q: Can I get it in another colour or size?
A: Yes. At 1800mm x 1200mm it also comes in green, red and blue, and the fire-rated line runs from small single-panel boards up to 2400mm x 1200mm, plus a slim 1800mm x 600mm grey option. Only the colour and size shift between them; the felt and the rating stay put.
Planning a Large Wall of Notices
A big board is only as good as the notices on it, so on a large office or hall wall the way information is grouped and read counts as much as the board underneath. These Displaysense guides work through school communication strategies, a full noticeboard buying guide, the best boards for busy corridors, and mental-health noticeboards, each one handy where a wide grey board has to earn a shared, well-used wall.

Somewhere dry it holds its grey and its rating for years, which an untreated board out in the weather would not. Under cover it will look much the same in five years as on day one.
Q: How is it delivered, and are returns allowed?
A: Free UK mainland delivery is included, from Displaysense, in the display trade since 1978. A 28-day returns window means you can be sure it works on the wall after it goes up, without committing before you have seen it in place.
Q: Can I get it in another colour or size?
A: Yes. At 1800mm x 1200mm it also comes in green, red and blue, and the fire-rated line runs from small single-panel boards up to 2400mm x 1200mm, plus a slim 1800mm x 600mm grey option. Only the colour and size shift between them; the felt and the rating stay put.

Planning a Large Wall of Notices
A big board is only as good as the notices on it, so on a large office or hall wall the way information is grouped and read counts as much as the board underneath. These Displaysense guides work through school communication strategies, a full noticeboard buying guide, the best boards for busy corridors, and mental-health noticeboards, each one handy where a wide grey board has to earn a shared, well-used wall.

Cover a Large Wall with a Grey Felt Noticeboard
A large wall in an office, school or public building holds a great deal of information, provided the board is broad enough to take it, and this grey felt noticeboard covers a wide span in a single 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 carries the rating, not the felt on its own, so it can go onto a corridor or protected route that has to resist flame spread. The muted grey gives a wide wall an understated, professional look while black notices read sharply against it. It reaches the wall in two sections, which keeps a board this size simple to carry in and mount, and it fixes portrait or landscape to suit the space. Two people have it level in a single visit, and the understated finish keeps a workplace wall looking deliberate rather than busy. Once up, one grey face does the work of a whole noticeboard wall, the concealed fixings sitting out of sight so nothing shows but the notices. Best suited to offices, schools and healthcare sites where a large wall has to stay composed, hold plenty of notices and keep to fire rules.
Why This Information Board Suits Several Sectors
- A muted, professional grey: A considered grey rather than a bright shade, it leaves a large wall calm and orderly, and black text stands out sharply against the dark ground so notices read at a glance. The felt keeps its depth over years of use rather than fading on a busy wall.
- Certified as one whole board: Testing is done on the built-up board rather than the bare felt, so the grade of Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1 belongs to the object on the wall. That is what allows a big display onto a corridor or an escape route.
- Wide enough for a big wall: Sized to fill a broad span a smaller board would leave part-bare, it turns a large empty wall into one full working display. A wide grey face suits a busy office or corridor where there is a lot to show at once on a single wall.
- A firm grip for pins or staples: Push a pin or a staple into the grey felt and it holds, then lets go later without a mark, so a notice fixes fast and lifts away clean. On a large board that keeps a full, often-changed display simple to keep in order.
- No frame, wrapped edges: Every edge is bound in felt in place of a frame, so the board meets the wall flat, in one unbroken face with no raised border. On a wide run that clean front gives a passing bag or coat nothing to snag.
- UK-made, two-year guarantee: Built in Britain under a two-year guarantee, it ships with the mount kit and concealed fixings it needs. A large fire-rated wall board then goes up with just the fixing left to finish once it is on site.
Where This Large Grey Board Fits Best
| Offices and Corporate | Policies, rotas and updates sit on a large grey board along an open-plan or breakout wall, the understated colour at home in a workplace while one broad face covers the whole wall in a single run. The wall never feels cluttered. |
| Schools and Colleges | Pupil and staff notices go up on a large grey board down a corridor or hall wall, the muted felt holding a busy wall calm while the width takes in a span a smaller board would miss. Two people have it up in one visit. |
| Hospitals and Healthcare | Patient and staff notices take a fire-rated grey board on a ward corridor or waiting-area wall, the quiet tone settling a care space while testing of the whole board holds a wide panel to the fire rules a route must satisfy. Calm for a waiting area. |
| Universities and Campuses | Timetables and notices appear on a wide grey board across faculty foyers and lecture-block walls, the considered shade legible along a big span while the composite grade covers what a campus estate has to account for. It reads across a busy department. |
| Public Sector Buildings | Information and public notices go on a big grey board through council foyers and circulation areas, the measured colour reading as official while the broad face works a wide wall a civic building needs used fully. One board covers a civic wall. |
| Reception and Foyers | Directions and welcome notes greet arrivals on a large grey board at an entrance or lobby wall, the professional colour setting a composed first impression while the wide board carries a display the length of the wall. Seen as visitors arrive. |
After a Smaller Grey Board?
For a narrower wall, the same fire-rated grey felt comes as the Unframed Fire Resistant Grey Felt Noticeboard 1500mm x 1200mm. Order with free UK mainland delivery.
NB7318GY is an Unframed Fire-Resistant Grey Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. A large fire-rated board that fills a wide wall in one continuous run. Supplied in two 900mm x 1200mm sections that fix together into the full display. Dimensions 1800mm x 1200mm. Weight 27.95kg. Muted grey 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, healthcare, universities and public sector for notices and information on large walls. Also available in green, red and blue at this size, in smaller and larger sizes, and in a narrow 1800mm x 600mm grey board. Displaysense, UK display specialist based in Hertfordshire since 1978. Free UK delivery.
Scattering small notices across a wide wall leaves them lost, so a board that pulls everything into one broad panel is what actually gets information seen. This grey board runs the full width of a large office or hall wall, holding a complete set of notices in one place where a run of small boards would look piecemeal. It reaches the wall in two sections for handling and joins into a single face, and the muted felt keeps the whole thing looking ordered rather than busy. Receiving and fitting a board of this scale becomes routine rather than an event, and there is nothing to prop, lean or store between changes, with no single part too big for one person to carry.
Grey is as much the point of this board as its size. A muted, considered grey settles a large wall down, reading as professional rather than shouting for attention, and its depth lifts black text so a notice carries across a room. Where a paler surface would swallow the words, this one keeps them sharp, which is why a workplace that wants to look composed tends to reach for a shade like this. The tone never competes with what is pinned to it, and along a corridor that restraint reads as considered rather than plain or stark.
What earns this board a place on a corridor is that the rating covers the whole of it. Testing is carried out on the completed panel rather than the bare felt, returning Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the classification is true of the object hung on the wall. On a fire-sensitive route that distinction is the one that counts, and the certificate stands as the record an inspector will ask to see, and it holds good for as long as the board is in use, so it need not be re-checked each year.
Two people put a board this size up, and little else is involved. Concealed fixings go into a solid wall, the board sits portrait or landscape as the space dictates, and there is no lock, hinge or frame to fuss with. Once mounted it simply gets on with the job, a pin or a staple pressing into the felt and lifting out clean, so the display turns over without marking or wearing the surface. A second board can butt onto it where a wall runs longer still, and the whole thing can be taken down and re-hung elsewhere just as simply should a layout change.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Unframed fire-resistant grey felt noticeboard | A large grey board without a frame, tested as one composite and made to cover a wide wall while meeting the fire rules. It handles a wall a smaller one leaves unfinished. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated grey felt | An understated grey that leaves a large wall calm, its dark ground making black text easy to read across the board. It keeps a professional space looking ordered. |
| Board Size | 1800mm x 1200mm | Enough width to dress a large wall in one grey run once it is up, where a narrower board would come up short of the span. |
| Panel Format | Two sections, 900mm x 1200mm each | Split into two sections, so a board this wide can be carried in and hung without moving one full-width sheet. A pair of hands manage it. |
| Weight | 27.95kg | A weight to expect from a board this size, best lifted and set by two people. No hoist or extra kit is needed to raise it on site. |
| Surface | Felt, accepts pins and staples | Pins and staples both take hold and pull free without a trace, so a wide display can be reworked as often as a week demands. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped | The felt turns over each edge instead of a frame, leaving a flat, continuous front and no border standing proud of the wall face. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Mount it upright or on its side to fit the wall, with the supplied fixings working the same in either position to match how the wall runs. |
| Fixings | Wall mount kit with concealed fixings | A mount kit with hidden fixings is in the box, so the board is ready for a solid wall the day it turns up. You match the plug to your own wall type. |
| Fire Certification | BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0 | Independently graded to both standards, which is the evidence a specifier needs to place a large grey board on a monitored route. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | A two-year guarantee sits behind the board, so a sizeable fire-rated display is a purchase a building can settle on with confidence for the long term. |
| Origin | Made in the UK | British manufacture against recognised fire standards, giving even a large board a source that is clear on the record. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Large Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: What is the best fire-rated noticeboard for a large office or corridor wall?
A: The best fire-rated noticeboard for a large office or corridor wall is the NB7318GY, an 1800mm x 1200mm unframed grey felt board rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. Its muted grey 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.
Q: Is the whole board fire-rated, or only the felt?
A: The board as a whole. It is graded as a completed composite to Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the rating describes what actually hangs on the wall, not the fabric on its own. That clearance is what allows a large grey board onto a corridor or a monitored escape stair.
Q: What shade of grey is the felt?
A: A muted, considered grey, not a bright or silvery one, so it leaves a large wall looking calm and workmanlike. Black lettering lifts off it cleanly, letting notices carry the full width of the board, and the felt stays deep rather than fading as the years pass.
Q: What size of wall does it suit?
A: Its face runs 1800mm across and 1200mm high, room enough for a big hall, office or corridor. That gives a single grey display with space for a whole run of notices at once, where a narrower board would crowd and need trimming back. The room to spread out is the point on a busy wall, with space to lay a full week of notices out clearly.
Q: Does the board come in one piece?
A: No, it arrives in two sections for easier handling, which fix together on the wall into one continuous board. At this size two parts are far simpler to carry in and hang than a single sheet, and once up the join reads as a fine seam that is barely noticed behind the notices. Two lighter parts also spare a single awkward lift on site.
Q: Does it take two people to put up?
A: Yes, a board this size is a two-person job. One steadies it while the other fixes the concealed anchors provided into a solid wall, and no special equipment comes into it. It hangs upright or on its side, so it can follow whichever way the wall runs. A stepladder and a screwdriver are really all the job asks for.
Q: How does grey differ from the red board?
A: Both share the 1800mm x 1200mm unframed build, the fire grading and the pin-friendly felt, so the pick is one of tone. The grey NB7318GY is the quiet, workmanlike choice for offices and corridors, whereas the red NB7318R is the loud one, chosen when a warning or evacuation notice has to be impossible to miss.
Q: Can it be mounted portrait or landscape?
A: Either way works. Fit it wide and low or stand it tall, to suit the wall, and because nothing frames it the front stays flat and unbroken both ways. A single set of fixings covers whichever layout you choose, and none of them show once it is up.
Q: Will staples work as well as pins?
A: Yes to both. Push in a pin or fire in a staple and the grey felt takes either, letting go afterwards without a tear, so a printed sheet or laminated notice stays put and lifts away clean. On a board this wide that makes refreshing a full display a quick job, swapped over in minutes rather than re-drilled.
Q: Is the board suitable for outdoor use?
A: No, keep it indoors. Wet or humid air can reach the felt inside the fire-rated make-up, so a covered office, hall or corridor is where it belongs. Somewhere dry it holds its grey and its rating for years, which an untreated board out in the weather would not. Under cover it will look much the same in five years as on day one.
Q: How is it delivered, and are returns allowed?
A: Free UK mainland delivery is included, from Displaysense, in the display trade since 1978. A 28-day returns window means you can be sure it works on the wall after it goes up, without committing before you have seen it in place.
Q: Can I get it in another colour or size?
A: Yes. At 1800mm x 1200mm it also comes in green, red and blue, and the fire-rated line runs from small single-panel boards up to 2400mm x 1200mm, plus a slim 1800mm x 600mm grey option. Only the colour and size shift between them; the felt and the rating stay put.

At this size two parts are far simpler to carry in and hang than a single sheet, and once up the join reads as a fine seam that is barely noticed behind the notices. Two lighter parts also spare a single awkward lift on site.
Q: Does it take two people to put up?
A: Yes, a board this size is a two-person job. One steadies it while the other fixes the concealed anchors provided into a solid wall, and no special equipment comes into it. It hangs upright or on its side, so it can follow whichever way the wall runs. A stepladder and a screwdriver are really all the job asks for.
Q: How does grey differ from the red board?
A: Both share the 1800mm x 1200mm unframed build, the fire grading and the pin-friendly felt, so the pick is one of tone. The grey NB7318GY is the quiet, workmanlike choice for offices and corridors, whereas the red NB7318R is the loud one, chosen when a warning or evacuation notice has to be impossible to miss.
Q: Can it be mounted portrait or landscape?
A: Either way works. Fit it wide and low or stand it tall, to suit the wall, and because nothing frames it the front stays flat and unbroken both ways. A single set of fixings covers whichever layout you choose, and none of them show once it is up.
Q: Will staples work as well as pins?
A: Yes to both. Push in a pin or fire in a staple and the grey felt takes either, letting go afterwards without a tear, so a printed sheet or laminated notice stays put and lifts away clean. On a board this wide that makes refreshing a full display a quick job, swapped over in minutes rather than re-drilled.
Q: Is the board suitable for outdoor use?
A: No, keep it indoors. Wet or humid air can reach the felt inside the fire-rated make-up, so a covered office, hall or corridor is where it belongs. Somewhere dry it holds its grey and its rating for years, which an untreated board out in the weather would not. Under cover it will look much the same in five years as on day one.
Q: How is it delivered, and are returns allowed?
A: Free UK mainland delivery is included, from Displaysense, in the display trade since 1978. A 28-day returns window means you can be sure it works on the wall after it goes up, without committing before you have seen it in place.
Q: Can I get it in another colour or size?
A: Yes. At 1800mm x 1200mm it also comes in green, red and blue, and the fire-rated line runs from small single-panel boards up to 2400mm x 1200mm, plus a slim 1800mm x 600mm grey option. Only the colour and size shift between them; the felt and the rating stay put.

Planning a Large Wall of Notices
A big board is only as good as the notices on it, so on a large office or hall wall the way information is grouped and read counts as much as the board underneath. These Displaysense guides work through school communication strategies, a full noticeboard buying guide, the best boards for busy corridors, and mental-health noticeboards, each one handy where a wide grey board has to earn a shared, well-used wall.
