Fit a Grey Felt Noticeboard into a Tight Wall Space
Plenty of walls have a thin, awkward strip that a full-size board cannot use, and this slim grey pin board is made for exactly those, dropping into a stairwell, a pier between windows or the gap beside a doorway. Certified as a complete composite to BS 476 Class 0 and, in the European scheme, Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, it takes pins and staples, and with edges wrapped in felt and no frame it lies flush against a narrow wall. The muted grey gives the panel an understated, professional look while black text sits sharp against it, and at a light weight one person can hang it as a tall column or a long low strip. Built in the UK and guaranteed for two years, it puts a compliant display where wall space is scarce. Best suited to schools, offices and healthcare sites where a narrow wall still needs a fire-rated board.
Why a Slim Display Board Still Needs a Fire Rating
- Pins and staples both hold: Push pins and staples grip the grey felt firmly, so a notice fixes on securely and lifts off clean. Even on a slim pin board a fast-changing run of information stays tidy through repeated swaps.
- A muted grey with sharp contrast: A considered, muted grey gives the panel an understated, professional look, and black print sits sharp against it so a notice reads clearly. It is a quiet, grown-up tone for a corridor or stairwell, never a colour that shouts.
- Built for a narrow run of wall: This slim wall board is shaped for the thin strips a full-size one leaves unused, so a stairwell, a corridor pier or the gap beside a doorway finally carries a display. Tight spots gain a home for information without losing any room.
- Certified as a finished board: Independent testing rates the assembled board to BS 476 Class 0 and, separately, to Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the classes cover the finished item not the felt alone. That whole-board result lets a slim notice board sit on an escape route or stair.
- Unframed, edges wrapped in felt: With the grey felt folded round each edge there is no surround at all, so the slim panel lies flat and unbroken, nothing standing proud to snag a sleeve. On a busy stair that seamless face earns its keep where people pass close all day.
- Made in the UK, light to fit: Backed by a two-year guarantee and made in Britain, it ships with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings, and it is light enough for one person to hold and fix single-handed. A compliant display board goes up with little beyond the mounting to sort out.
Where a Grey Pin Board Fits a Narrow Corridor
| Schools and Colleges | Stairwell walls and corridor piers take timetables, reminders and pupil information on a slim grey communication board, the understated felt keeping the wall calm while the narrow drop fits the thin runs a full-size board never reaches. |
| Hospitals and Healthcare | Ward corridors and clinical circulation carry patient guidance and staff notices on a fire-rated grey bulletin board, the muted tone suiting a care setting while the whole-board rating keeps a slim information board compliant where fire standards apply. |
| Offices and Corporate | Lift lobbies and corridor pinch points show policies and updates on a quiet grey message board, the considered colour sitting well in a professional space while the certified, frameless build suits a tight wall bound by fire rules on its routes. |
| Universities and Campuses | Departmental stairwells and study-block corridors present notices and reminders on a narrow grey display board, the professional tone reading cleanly in a busy through-route while the certified construction suits a wall an estate must keep compliant. |
| Local Authority Buildings | Civic stairwells and public circulation hold information and safety notices on a composite-tested grey announcement board, the measured colour reading as clear and official while the slim, frameless profile keeps a tight public wall looking orderly. |
| Circulation and Through-Ways | The pinch points between doors and lift lobbies carry wayfinding and key notices on a narrow grey wall board, the compact drop working in slim gaps a standard notice board leaves empty while the muted felt keeps the panel understated. |

NB7317GY is a narrow-format Unframed Fire-Resistant Grey Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. A slim frameless pin board with an edge-wrapped fire-rated grey 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 grey 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, offices and local authorities for notices and information on stairwells, corridors and other narrow circulation spaces. Also available in red, blue and green at this size and in other sizes, with a taller grey board for fuller walls. Displaysense, UK display specialist based in Hertfordshire since 1978. Free UK delivery.
Grey here is muted and considered, a quiet tone that gives the panel a professional air rather than a loud one, the sort of shade that reads as deliberate on a wall. Black text stands out sharply against it so a notice is easy to take in, and the felt holds its depth across the years instead of dulling. Where a corridor or an office wants to feel calm and orderly, an understated grey usually earns its place on the wall. Along an office corridor or behind a reception desk it keeps the wall looking ordered while the notices do the talking.
Long and slim in its proportions, the board is built for the narrow runs of wall a square or full-size panel must skip over, so a stairwell, a pier along a corridor or the gap by a doorway finally gains a display. Standing tall or lying low, it makes a neglected strip of plaster useful, and it borrows nothing from the circulation space that generally kept the wall clear in the first place. A stair landing or the pinch between two doors turns from wasted plaster into a place staff actually look.
Testing was carried out on the made-up board in one piece, which earns it Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, grades that attach to the object on the wall and not to the fabric on its own. On that basis it is cleared for escape routes and protected stairs, and the certificate stays on file for the estates team to show at inspection. An inspector reads the two classes straight from the document, so a slim board on a monitored route raises no awkward questions. That evidence counts for most where a corridor doubles as an escape route and the wall has to answer for itself.
Its light build lets a single person lift, level and secure it without help, sending the concealed fixings from the kit into a solid wall, and because nothing frames the edges two panels sit snugly together along a longer stretch. UK-made and carrying a two-year guarantee, it is an indoor panel and should stay clear of wet or humid spots. With no lock or hinged door in the way, one maintenance visit is all it takes to have it fixed and in use.

Here is the NB7317GY in full. The table sets each specification against a short, practical note, describing a slim grey board made for a corridor, office or stairwell wall. Above the table, five stat boxes give the quick read, while the rows below take each specification one at a time with its meaning.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Unframed fire-resistant noticeboard | A slim grey board, edge-wrapped and frameless, certified whole, built for the awkward wall gaps others skip. Just right for the strips others have to skip. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated grey felt | A muted, professional grey on fire-rated felt, understated on the wall with crisp text contrast. It keeps a professional wall calm and ordered. |
| Board Size | 1800mm x 600mm | Its long, low shape suits a corridor pier or the gap by a door, using wall a bigger board cannot. A neglected strip turns into somewhere useful. |
| Weight | 12kg | Slight for its length, so one person manages the lift and level unaided as the fixings are set. The job is done without booking extra hands. |
| Surface | Fire-rated grey felt, pins and staples | Pins and staples hold fast in the felt and lift out clean, so a display swaps over in seconds. The surface stays tidy through a busy term. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped fabric | Edges clad in felt do away with a frame, so the panel sits flat where people brush past. The unbroken front looks neat on a busy route. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Mounts either way up, rising as a column or lying as a band to match the space. Either way suits the space it lands in. |
| Fixings | Wall mount kit with concealed fixings | Supplied with a kit and concealed fixings, it mounts to a solid wall the day it lands, cleanly finished. Pick the anchor that suits your wall build, whether stud or solid masonry. |
| Fire Certification | Class 0 to BS 476, plus B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1 | Assessed against both fire standards, documenting its use on a stair or corridor that must comply. Documentation a compliant route needs. |
| Fire Testing | Complete composite unit | Assessed in one piece, so the fire grade attaches to the whole panel and not just the fabric. No single layer stands in for the whole. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | Backed for two years, so a school or office commits to a certified panel with peace of mind. Confidence that outlasts the fit-out. |
| Origin | Made in the UK | Produced in Britain against the fire standards, so even a slim board has a known source. A known origin even at this slim, narrow size. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Narrow Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: What is the best fire-rated noticeboard for an office or corridor wall?
A: The best fire-rated noticeboard for an office or corridor wall is the NB7317GY, a 1800mm x 600mm unframed grey felt board rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. Its muted grey keeps a professional wall calm, the slim shape fits a tight run, and the felt takes pins and staples. It is a board a busy workplace can rely on every day.
Q: What does the grey felt look like in a workplace?
A: The grey is muted and considered, giving the board an understated, professional look rather than a loud one. Black text stands out sharply against it, so a notice reads at a glance, and the felt keeps its depth over the years instead of dulling. It works behind a reception desk as well as along a corridor.
Q: Do staples work on the felt, or should I stick to pins?
A: Both hold. A push pin and a staple each grip the grey felt firmly and lift out clean, so a notice fixes on without fuss and the surface takes repeated swaps without marking, keeping a slim board tidy through a busy term. A whole term of daily changes leaves the felt unmarked.
Q: Is the whole board fire-rated, or just the surface?
A: The whole board. It was tested in one piece and rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1, so the grades attach to the finished panel, not the felt on its own. That lets a slim grey board sit on a protected route. The grades are printed on the document kept with the board.
Q: What are the dimensions, and where does the shape help?
A: The board is 1800mm by 600mm, a long, low strip for the wall a full board skips. A corridor pier, a stair landing or the gap by a doorway gains a display, turning a neglected sliver of plaster into somewhere staff actually look. A corridor gains a noticeboard without losing any walking width.
Q: Will one person manage the fit?
A: Yes. At 12kg it is slight for its length, so one person lifts, levels and secures it without help, the concealed fixings from the kit going into a solid wall. With nothing framing the edges, two panels can also butt together along a longer stretch. No lifting crew or second fitter needs to be arranged.
Q: Can it mount either way round?
A: It can. Set it upright as a column against a door or run it low along a corridor to match the space. A wall mount kit with concealed fixings is included, and the slim board is simple to steady while it is fixed. The layout follows the wall rather than the other way round.
Q: How does the grey board weigh up against the red?
A: Both are 1800mm x 600mm unframed, fire-rated boards that take pins and staples, so colour sets them apart. The grey NB7317GY is quiet and professional, at home in an office or corridor, while the red NB7317R is bold and urgent, better where a safety notice must be seen fast. For most buyers the setting decides which colour fits best.
Q: Is it guaranteed, and where does it come from?
A: It is produced in Britain and backed for two years, so a clear source comes with lasting cover against faults. Made to recognised fire standards, it lets a school or office commit to a certified panel with real peace of mind. The guarantee comfortably outlasts the fit-out it goes into.
Q: Can the grey board go outdoors?
A: No, it is intended for inside use. Wet or humid spots can get to the felt behind the fire-rated surface, so a dry corridor, office or stairwell is the right home. Kept clear of damp, it holds its finish and its rating. An internal wall well away from splashes is the ideal spot.
Q: What are the delivery and returns arrangements?
A: Free UK mainland delivery is included, from Displaysense, which has supplied displays since 1978. There is a 28-day returns policy, so you have time to check the grey board works on your wall after it arrives. Everything needed to mount it comes in the one carton.
Q: Does it come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. This 1800mm x 600mm board is also made in blue, red and green, and the fire-rated line covers larger formats, including an 1800mm x 1200mm two-panel board for a broader wall. The felt surface and fire rating stay consistent across them. The range lets a single supplier cover a whole site.
Choosing an Understated Fire-Rated Board for a Tight Space
A muted board earns a corridor or stairwell when its rating and its content suit a route people move through, so the shape and the felt matter as much as the message. These Displaysense guides cover the best boards for busy corridors, a full noticeboard buying guide, reception board best practice, and mental health display ideas, each useful when a slim grey board has to work hard in a tight space.

A muted board earns a corridor or stairwell when its rating and its content suit a route people move through, so the shape and the felt matter as much as the message. These Displaysense guides cover the best boards for busy corridors, a full noticeboard buying guide, reception board best practice, and mental health display ideas, each useful when a slim grey board has to work hard in a tight space.

Fit a Grey Felt Noticeboard into a Tight Wall Space
Plenty of walls have a thin, awkward strip that a full-size board cannot use, and this slim grey pin board is made for exactly those, dropping into a stairwell, a pier between windows or the gap beside a doorway. Certified as a complete composite to BS 476 Class 0 and, in the European scheme, Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, it takes pins and staples, and with edges wrapped in felt and no frame it lies flush against a narrow wall. The muted grey gives the panel an understated, professional look while black text sits sharp against it, and at a light weight one person can hang it as a tall column or a long low strip. Built in the UK and guaranteed for two years, it puts a compliant display where wall space is scarce. Best suited to schools, offices and healthcare sites where a narrow wall still needs a fire-rated board.
Why a Slim Display Board Still Needs a Fire Rating
- Pins and staples both hold: Push pins and staples grip the grey felt firmly, so a notice fixes on securely and lifts off clean. Even on a slim pin board a fast-changing run of information stays tidy through repeated swaps.
- A muted grey with sharp contrast: A considered, muted grey gives the panel an understated, professional look, and black print sits sharp against it so a notice reads clearly. It is a quiet, grown-up tone for a corridor or stairwell, never a colour that shouts.
- Built for a narrow run of wall: This slim wall board is shaped for the thin strips a full-size one leaves unused, so a stairwell, a corridor pier or the gap beside a doorway finally carries a display. Tight spots gain a home for information without losing any room.
- Certified as a finished board: Independent testing rates the assembled board to BS 476 Class 0 and, separately, to Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the classes cover the finished item not the felt alone. That whole-board result lets a slim notice board sit on an escape route or stair.
- Unframed, edges wrapped in felt: With the grey felt folded round each edge there is no surround at all, so the slim panel lies flat and unbroken, nothing standing proud to snag a sleeve. On a busy stair that seamless face earns its keep where people pass close all day.
- Made in the UK, light to fit: Backed by a two-year guarantee and made in Britain, it ships with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings, and it is light enough for one person to hold and fix single-handed. A compliant display board goes up with little beyond the mounting to sort out.
Where a Grey Pin Board Fits a Narrow Corridor
| Schools and Colleges | Stairwell walls and corridor piers take timetables, reminders and pupil information on a slim grey communication board, the understated felt keeping the wall calm while the narrow drop fits the thin runs a full-size board never reaches. |
| Hospitals and Healthcare | Ward corridors and clinical circulation carry patient guidance and staff notices on a fire-rated grey bulletin board, the muted tone suiting a care setting while the whole-board rating keeps a slim information board compliant where fire standards apply. |
| Offices and Corporate | Lift lobbies and corridor pinch points show policies and updates on a quiet grey message board, the considered colour sitting well in a professional space while the certified, frameless build suits a tight wall bound by fire rules on its routes. |
| Universities and Campuses | Departmental stairwells and study-block corridors present notices and reminders on a narrow grey display board, the professional tone reading cleanly in a busy through-route while the certified construction suits a wall an estate must keep compliant. |
| Local Authority Buildings | Civic stairwells and public circulation hold information and safety notices on a composite-tested grey announcement board, the measured colour reading as clear and official while the slim, frameless profile keeps a tight public wall looking orderly. |
| Circulation and Through-Ways | The pinch points between doors and lift lobbies carry wayfinding and key notices on a narrow grey wall board, the compact drop working in slim gaps a standard notice board leaves empty while the muted felt keeps the panel understated. |

NB7317GY is a narrow-format Unframed Fire-Resistant Grey Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. A slim frameless pin board with an edge-wrapped fire-rated grey 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 grey 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, offices and local authorities for notices and information on stairwells, corridors and other narrow circulation spaces. Also available in red, blue and green at this size and in other sizes, with a taller grey board for fuller walls. Displaysense, UK display specialist based in Hertfordshire since 1978. Free UK delivery.
Grey here is muted and considered, a quiet tone that gives the panel a professional air rather than a loud one, the sort of shade that reads as deliberate on a wall. Black text stands out sharply against it so a notice is easy to take in, and the felt holds its depth across the years instead of dulling. Where a corridor or an office wants to feel calm and orderly, an understated grey usually earns its place on the wall. Along an office corridor or behind a reception desk it keeps the wall looking ordered while the notices do the talking.
Long and slim in its proportions, the board is built for the narrow runs of wall a square or full-size panel must skip over, so a stairwell, a pier along a corridor or the gap by a doorway finally gains a display. Standing tall or lying low, it makes a neglected strip of plaster useful, and it borrows nothing from the circulation space that generally kept the wall clear in the first place. A stair landing or the pinch between two doors turns from wasted plaster into a place staff actually look.
Testing was carried out on the made-up board in one piece, which earns it Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, grades that attach to the object on the wall and not to the fabric on its own. On that basis it is cleared for escape routes and protected stairs, and the certificate stays on file for the estates team to show at inspection. An inspector reads the two classes straight from the document, so a slim board on a monitored route raises no awkward questions. That evidence counts for most where a corridor doubles as an escape route and the wall has to answer for itself.
Its light build lets a single person lift, level and secure it without help, sending the concealed fixings from the kit into a solid wall, and because nothing frames the edges two panels sit snugly together along a longer stretch. UK-made and carrying a two-year guarantee, it is an indoor panel and should stay clear of wet or humid spots. With no lock or hinged door in the way, one maintenance visit is all it takes to have it fixed and in use.

Here is the NB7317GY in full. The table sets each specification against a short, practical note, describing a slim grey board made for a corridor, office or stairwell wall. Above the table, five stat boxes give the quick read, while the rows below take each specification one at a time with its meaning.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Unframed fire-resistant noticeboard | A slim grey board, edge-wrapped and frameless, certified whole, built for the awkward wall gaps others skip. Just right for the strips others have to skip. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated grey felt | A muted, professional grey on fire-rated felt, understated on the wall with crisp text contrast. It keeps a professional wall calm and ordered. |
| Board Size | 1800mm x 600mm | Its long, low shape suits a corridor pier or the gap by a door, using wall a bigger board cannot. A neglected strip turns into somewhere useful. |
| Weight | 12kg | Slight for its length, so one person manages the lift and level unaided as the fixings are set. The job is done without booking extra hands. |
| Surface | Fire-rated grey felt, pins and staples | Pins and staples hold fast in the felt and lift out clean, so a display swaps over in seconds. The surface stays tidy through a busy term. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped fabric | Edges clad in felt do away with a frame, so the panel sits flat where people brush past. The unbroken front looks neat on a busy route. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Mounts either way up, rising as a column or lying as a band to match the space. Either way suits the space it lands in. |
| Fixings | Wall mount kit with concealed fixings | Supplied with a kit and concealed fixings, it mounts to a solid wall the day it lands, cleanly finished. Pick the anchor that suits your wall build, whether stud or solid masonry. |
| Fire Certification | Class 0 to BS 476, plus B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1 | Assessed against both fire standards, documenting its use on a stair or corridor that must comply. Documentation a compliant route needs. |
| Fire Testing | Complete composite unit | Assessed in one piece, so the fire grade attaches to the whole panel and not just the fabric. No single layer stands in for the whole. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | Backed for two years, so a school or office commits to a certified panel with peace of mind. Confidence that outlasts the fit-out. |
| Origin | Made in the UK | Produced in Britain against the fire standards, so even a slim board has a known source. A known origin even at this slim, narrow size. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Narrow Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: What is the best fire-rated noticeboard for an office or corridor wall?
A: The best fire-rated noticeboard for an office or corridor wall is the NB7317GY, a 1800mm x 600mm unframed grey felt board rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. Its muted grey keeps a professional wall calm, the slim shape fits a tight run, and the felt takes pins and staples. It is a board a busy workplace can rely on every day.
Q: What does the grey felt look like in a workplace?
A: The grey is muted and considered, giving the board an understated, professional look rather than a loud one. Black text stands out sharply against it, so a notice reads at a glance, and the felt keeps its depth over the years instead of dulling. It works behind a reception desk as well as along a corridor.
Q: Do staples work on the felt, or should I stick to pins?
A: Both hold. A push pin and a staple each grip the grey felt firmly and lift out clean, so a notice fixes on without fuss and the surface takes repeated swaps without marking, keeping a slim board tidy through a busy term. A whole term of daily changes leaves the felt unmarked.
Q: Is the whole board fire-rated, or just the surface?
A: The whole board. It was tested in one piece and rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1, so the grades attach to the finished panel, not the felt on its own. That lets a slim grey board sit on a protected route. The grades are printed on the document kept with the board.
Q: What are the dimensions, and where does the shape help?
A: The board is 1800mm by 600mm, a long, low strip for the wall a full board skips. A corridor pier, a stair landing or the gap by a doorway gains a display, turning a neglected sliver of plaster into somewhere staff actually look. A corridor gains a noticeboard without losing any walking width.
Q: Will one person manage the fit?
A: Yes. At 12kg it is slight for its length, so one person lifts, levels and secures it without help, the concealed fixings from the kit going into a solid wall. With nothing framing the edges, two panels can also butt together along a longer stretch. No lifting crew or second fitter needs to be arranged.
Q: Can it mount either way round?
A: It can. Set it upright as a column against a door or run it low along a corridor to match the space. A wall mount kit with concealed fixings is included, and the slim board is simple to steady while it is fixed. The layout follows the wall rather than the other way round.
Q: How does the grey board weigh up against the red?
A: Both are 1800mm x 600mm unframed, fire-rated boards that take pins and staples, so colour sets them apart. The grey NB7317GY is quiet and professional, at home in an office or corridor, while the red NB7317R is bold and urgent, better where a safety notice must be seen fast. For most buyers the setting decides which colour fits best.
Q: Is it guaranteed, and where does it come from?
A: It is produced in Britain and backed for two years, so a clear source comes with lasting cover against faults. Made to recognised fire standards, it lets a school or office commit to a certified panel with real peace of mind. The guarantee comfortably outlasts the fit-out it goes into.
Q: Can the grey board go outdoors?
A: No, it is intended for inside use. Wet or humid spots can get to the felt behind the fire-rated surface, so a dry corridor, office or stairwell is the right home. Kept clear of damp, it holds its finish and its rating. An internal wall well away from splashes is the ideal spot.
Q: What are the delivery and returns arrangements?
A: Free UK mainland delivery is included, from Displaysense, which has supplied displays since 1978. There is a 28-day returns policy, so you have time to check the grey board works on your wall after it arrives. Everything needed to mount it comes in the one carton.
Q: Does it come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. This 1800mm x 600mm board is also made in blue, red and green, and the fire-rated line covers larger formats, including an 1800mm x 1200mm two-panel board for a broader wall. The felt surface and fire rating stay consistent across them. The range lets a single supplier cover a whole site.

A: Free UK mainland delivery is included, from Displaysense, which has supplied displays since 1978. There is a 28-day returns policy, so you have time to check the grey board works on your wall after it arrives. Everything needed to mount it comes in the one carton.
Q: Does it come in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. This 1800mm x 600mm board is also made in blue, red and green, and the fire-rated line covers larger formats, including an 1800mm x 1200mm two-panel board for a broader wall. The felt surface and fire rating stay consistent across them. The range lets a single supplier cover a whole site.

Choosing an Understated Fire-Rated Board for a Tight Space
A muted board earns a corridor or stairwell when its rating and its content suit a route people move through, so the shape and the felt matter as much as the message. These Displaysense guides cover the best boards for busy corridors, a full noticeboard buying guide, reception board best practice, and mental health display ideas, each useful when a slim grey board has to work hard in a tight space.
