Make Notices Impossible to Miss on a Square Red Noticeboard
This large square board is built to be hard to walk past, its bold red felt drawing the eye to safety notices, alerts and urgent information as soon as anyone steps into the room. Fire-tested as a whole composite, it earns BS 476 Class 0 and, under the European standard EN 13501-1, Class B-s1 d0, and takes pins and staples, its wrapped edges carrying no frame so the board sits flush and joins others into a wider run. Made in the UK and backed by a two-year guarantee, its square 1200 format gives generous room across a communal wall. Best suited to schools, hospitals and local authority buildings where an urgent notice must be seen quickly and the board itself has to meet fire-safety standards.
Why Escape Routes Call for a Certified Board
- A vivid red that draws the eye: A strong, saturated red pulls attention to the board, so an alert or a notice is caught rather than missed on a busy wall. Black print holds sharp against it, so words stay readable while the panel does the work.
- Certified as one composite unit: Independent testing rates the finished board to BS 476 Class 0 and, in the European scheme, to BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1 d0, judging the whole product not its parts. That composite result lets it go on an escape route a building must keep compliant.
- A big square face for a busy wall: The square format gives generous, balanced room for a full set of notices at once, so timetables, policies and safety signage share one clear board rather than several. It suits a broad communal wall with plenty to show and little to waste.
- Takes pins and staples both: The red felt grips push pins and staples with the same firm hold, so posters, laminated sheets and rotas all fix securely and swap out fast. A working board can be rearranged as often as a busy week demands without the surface wearing.
- A clean edge with no metal frame: Felt wrapped over the borders leaves no surround, so the board lies flat for a modern, seamless look with less to snag a sleeve. Placed by another, the two meet cleanly as one wider run where a single panel falls short.
- Made in the UK, two-year cover: Built in Britain and backed by a two-year guarantee, the board arrives with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings for a neat finish, ready to go straight onto a solid wall. It is a large, compliant display gained with little to arrange first.
Where a Bold Red Board Owns a Communal Wall
| Schools and Colleges | Teaching corridors and staffrooms take timetables, safeguarding notices and pupil information on a certified red display board, the strong colour pulling the eye to what matters while the square face gives room for a full term of notices. |
| Hospitals and Healthcare | On ward approaches and clinic walls, patient guidance and staff information sit on a fire-rated red surface, the bold tone flagging urgent notices at a glance while certification keeps a large communication board compliant on a protected route. |
| Universities and Campuses | Departmental corridors and common rooms carry course details, events and safety information on a square red board, the vivid felt keeping key announcements visible across a busy space while the certified build suits a departmental or halls wall a campus must keep compliant. |
| Local Authority Buildings | Civic lobbies and community halls show public information and safety notices on a composite-tested red board, the eye-catching colour drawing attention to important messages while the frameless finish keeps a public wall looking modern and orderly. |
| Stairwells and Escape Routes | A BS 476 Class 0 rating lets the board carry evacuation guidance on a protected stairwell where it has to be seen fast, the bold red making urgent instructions register on an escape-route wall a building must keep compliant through daily use. |
| Reception and Communal Areas | Front-of-house and shared-space walls carry welcome details and key notices on a striking red felt, the large square format giving a confident, visible display that lifts the first impression a communal wall leaves, whether in a leisure centre, college foyer or council reception. |

NB7312R is a large square Unframed Fire-Resistant Red Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. A frameless board with an edge-wrapped fire-rated red felt surface, independently certified as a complete composite unit to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0, with no frame so it sits flush and boards butt together for wider coverage. Dimensions 1200mm x 1200mm. Weight 18.1kg. Fire-rated red felt for pins and staples, unframed edge-wrapped construction, portrait or landscape mounting, wall mount kit included, made in the UK, two-year guarantee, indoor use. Used by schools, hospitals, universities and local authorities for safety notices, policies and key information in corridors, stairwells, reception zones and escape routes. Also available in a smaller size and in green and blue, with an aluminium-framed fire-rated version for a defined edge. Displaysense, UK display specialist based in Hertfordshire since 1978. Free UK delivery.
Walk into a room and the red board is the thing the eye finds first, which is exactly why urgent messages belong on it rather than on a quieter surface, a warning or a safety notice registering fast instead of blending into a wall of paper. Black print stays crisp against the red, keeping the words legible at the same time as the colour itself draws the eye, and on a crowded communal wall that pull is often what decides whether a notice gets read or gets walked straight past. For anything a building genuinely needs people to see, that head start on attention is the point of choosing red.
Tested as one finished composite, the board is graded Class 0 against BS 476 and, to the European standard EN 13501-1, Class B-s1 d0, the assessment covering the made-up product rather than its materials one by one, so the rating belongs to the item on the wall. Because that certificate covers the complete board, it can go where fire matters most, an escape route, a stairwell, a corridor, the places an untested surface has no business being. A fire officer can read the classes straight off the paperwork, and an estates or procurement team keeps the same record on file against the order, which is what turns a bold board into a specified one.
A square face, equal on every side, gives the board a broad, balanced area that holds a whole set of notices together, so a busy wall carries timetables, policies and safety signage side by side rather than scattered over several smaller boards. With the felt wrapped over the edges and no frame added, the panel lies flat and borderless, nothing proud to catch a sleeve, and a pair butted together read as one wider display where a single board would run short.
A staple grips the red felt as readily as a push pin, and neither tears the surface, so a laminated notice and a light flyer alike hold firmly and peel back off without a trace, leaving a busy wall quick to refresh. The board is solid but manageable for its footprint, arriving with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings, and a second pair of hands helps steady the square face while it goes level onto a solid wall. Made in the UK and covered by a two-year guarantee, it is meant for indoor use and kept clear of the damp that would work into the felt, a large certified display then left to get on with the job for a whole space to share.

Every detail of the NB7312R is set out in full below, from the large square red felt and its edge-wrapped, frameless build to the two-year guarantee and the fire rating held under both BS 476 and BS EN 13501-1. Each row carries a short note on what the spec delivers for a big, high-visibility display in a school, hospital or public building.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Unframed fire-resistant noticeboard | A large square frameless red felt board, fire-rated as one composite unit, for a bold, compliant display in corridors, stairwells and lobbies. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated red felt | A strong, saturated red on a fire-rated surface that draws the eye to urgent notices and holds black text in sharp contrast for easy reading. |
| Board Size | 1200mm x 1200mm | A generous square face that shows a whole set of notices together, so a single large board covers a busy communal wall in place of several smaller ones over its life. |
| Weight | 18.1kg | Solid but manageable for its size, so one person can position it with a second steadying the square face as it is levelled and fixed. |
| Surface | Fire-rated red felt, pins and staples | Red felt grips push pins and staples across the whole face, so posters and signage stay firm and swap out without leaving a mark behind. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped fabric | With felt folded over the borders and no frame, the panel sits flush, catches little and lets a pair join into one seamless, wider display. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | A square board hangs the same either way, so it drops onto a tall or a wide wall without fuss and turns to match the space. |
| Fixings | Wall mount kit included | A wall mount kit with concealed fixings comes in the box, so the board mounts to a solid wall on the day it lands with a neat finish. |
| Fire Certification | BS 476 Class 0, with EN 13501-1 B-s1 d0 | Checked by an independent lab against both recognised fire standards, so a specifier has the paperwork to site the board on a protected route. |
| Fire Testing | Complete composite unit | Signed off as the finished composite, not material by material, so the fire rating covers the whole board you hang, not one part of it. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | A two-year guarantee backs the board against faults, giving an estates or procurement team longer-term confidence in a certified, made-in-Britain purchase. |
| Origin | Made in the UK | Built in Britain to recognised fire standards, so the board carries a clear origin behind its certification for buyers who value UK sourcing. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Square Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: Which large fire-rated noticeboard is best for a school or hospital corridor?
A: For a school or hospital corridor, the best large fire-rated noticeboard is the NB7312R, a square 1200mm x 1200mm unframed red felt board rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. Its saturated red pulls the eye to urgent notices, the surface takes pins and staples, and the square board mounts either way round wherever fire safety and visibility both count.
Q: What fire rating does this red display board carry?
A: A Class 0 result stands to the board under BS 476, with a Class B-s1 d0 grade under the European standard BS EN 13501-1:2002. Each applies to the made-up board rather than its separate materials, so the whole item is proven fire-rated and clears use in a corridor, stairwell or escape route.
Q: Why choose a red board over a quieter colour?
A: Red is the high-visibility pick. A strong, saturated tone pulls the eye to the board straight away, so a warning or an urgent notice is caught quickly rather than lost among other paper on a wall. For safety messaging in a busy communal space, that immediate visibility is exactly what this display board offers.
Q: Can I fix notices with staples as well as pins?
A: Both hold on this felt board. Push pins press into the red felt and staples grip it just as firmly, so a laminated notice and a paper flyer alike stay put and come away without a mark. It leaves you free to arrange and refresh an information board however a busy wall needs.
Q: How big is the square format and what does it suit?
A: The board is a square 1200mm by 1200mm, a broad, balanced face built for showing a whole set of notices at once. It suits a communal wall with plenty to display, letting timetables, policies and safety signage sit together on one bulletin board rather than being split across several smaller ones.
Q: Can this wall board be mounted portrait or landscape?
A: Yes, and being square it looks the same either way, so it drops onto a tall or a wide wall without any change. A wall mount kit with concealed fixings is supplied, and while the board is manageable for its size, its 18.1kg weight makes a second pair of hands useful for steadying the face as it goes level.
Q: How does this red board compare with the blue NB7312B?
A: Both are square 1200mm x 1200mm unframed, fire-certified boards taking pins and staples, so colour decides. The red NB7312R is bold and high-visibility, best where an urgent notice must be caught fast. The blue NB7312B reads calmer and more corporate, a better fit for an office or reception where a composed look is wanted.
Q: How heavy is this noticeboard and is it hard to fit?
A: The board weighs 18.1kg, solid for its square size but straightforward to hang. It arrives with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings, and one person can position it while a second holds the face level as the fixings go into a solid wall. No frame means several boards can also line up cleanly side by side.
Q: Is this board guaranteed, and where is it made?
A: The board is made in the UK and comes with a two-year guarantee, so it carries a clear origin and longer-term cover against faults. Built to recognised fire standards, it gives an estates or procurement team confidence that the display board meets both quality and safety expectations.
Q: Is this noticeboard suitable for indoor use only?
A: Yes, indoors only. Corridors, stairwells and reception zones suit it, though it should stay clear of damp or outdoor spots where moisture would get into the felt and ruin it. Kept inside, the fire-rated red surface holds up well to the daily wear of a busy public building.
Q: Can this board go in a stairwell or escape route?
A: Yes. Both fire ratings apply to the finished composite, Class 0 through BS 476 and B-s1 d0 through EN 13501-1, so the board is suited to stairwells, escape routes and other fire-sensitive shared areas. Its bold red keeps evacuation guidance plainly on show while the certification meets what those routes demand.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other sizes or colours?
A: Yes. The unframed fire-rated range begins at a compact board and grows beyond this size, and in this square format the certified felt is offered in green and blue besides red. If a defined metal border is wanted rather than the frameless look, a matching aluminium-framed fire version is stocked as well.
Matching a Fire-Rated Board to a High-Traffic Wall
For a fire-rated board in a school, the right choice turns on where it hangs, what it has to show and the fire rules that apply to the wall. These Displaysense guides cover whether schools need fire-resistant boards, the best boards for corridors, a full noticeboard buying guide, and safeguarding display ideas for schools. Each one helps match a certified board to the way a school actually uses its walls day to day.

A: Yes. The unframed fire-rated range begins at a compact board and grows beyond this size, and in this square format the certified felt is offered in green and blue besides red. If a defined metal border is wanted rather than the frameless look, a matching aluminium-framed fire version is stocked as well.

These Displaysense guides cover whether schools need fire-resistant boards, the best boards for corridors, a full noticeboard buying guide, and safeguarding display ideas for schools. Each one helps match a certified board to the way a school actually uses its walls day to day.

Make Notices Impossible to Miss on a Square Red Noticeboard
This large square board is built to be hard to walk past, its bold red felt drawing the eye to safety notices, alerts and urgent information as soon as anyone steps into the room. Fire-tested as a whole composite, it earns BS 476 Class 0 and, under the European standard EN 13501-1, Class B-s1 d0, and takes pins and staples, its wrapped edges carrying no frame so the board sits flush and joins others into a wider run. Made in the UK and backed by a two-year guarantee, its square 1200 format gives generous room across a communal wall. Best suited to schools, hospitals and local authority buildings where an urgent notice must be seen quickly and the board itself has to meet fire-safety standards.
Why Escape Routes Call for a Certified Board
- A vivid red that draws the eye: A strong, saturated red pulls attention to the board, so an alert or a notice is caught rather than missed on a busy wall. Black print holds sharp against it, so words stay readable while the panel does the work.
- Certified as one composite unit: Independent testing rates the finished board to BS 476 Class 0 and, in the European scheme, to BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1 d0, judging the whole product not its parts. That composite result lets it go on an escape route a building must keep compliant.
- A big square face for a busy wall: The square format gives generous, balanced room for a full set of notices at once, so timetables, policies and safety signage share one clear board rather than several. It suits a broad communal wall with plenty to show and little to waste.
- Takes pins and staples both: The red felt grips push pins and staples with the same firm hold, so posters, laminated sheets and rotas all fix securely and swap out fast. A working board can be rearranged as often as a busy week demands without the surface wearing.
- A clean edge with no metal frame: Felt wrapped over the borders leaves no surround, so the board lies flat for a modern, seamless look with less to snag a sleeve. Placed by another, the two meet cleanly as one wider run where a single panel falls short.
- Made in the UK, two-year cover: Built in Britain and backed by a two-year guarantee, the board arrives with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings for a neat finish, ready to go straight onto a solid wall. It is a large, compliant display gained with little to arrange first.
Where a Bold Red Board Owns a Communal Wall
| Schools and Colleges | Teaching corridors and staffrooms take timetables, safeguarding notices and pupil information on a certified red display board, the strong colour pulling the eye to what matters while the square face gives room for a full term of notices. |
| Hospitals and Healthcare | On ward approaches and clinic walls, patient guidance and staff information sit on a fire-rated red surface, the bold tone flagging urgent notices at a glance while certification keeps a large communication board compliant on a protected route. |
| Universities and Campuses | Departmental corridors and common rooms carry course details, events and safety information on a square red board, the vivid felt keeping key announcements visible across a busy space while the certified build suits a departmental or halls wall a campus must keep compliant. |
| Local Authority Buildings | Civic lobbies and community halls show public information and safety notices on a composite-tested red board, the eye-catching colour drawing attention to important messages while the frameless finish keeps a public wall looking modern and orderly. |
| Stairwells and Escape Routes | A BS 476 Class 0 rating lets the board carry evacuation guidance on a protected stairwell where it has to be seen fast, the bold red making urgent instructions register on an escape-route wall a building must keep compliant through daily use. |
| Reception and Communal Areas | Front-of-house and shared-space walls carry welcome details and key notices on a striking red felt, the large square format giving a confident, visible display that lifts the first impression a communal wall leaves, whether in a leisure centre, college foyer or council reception. |

NB7312R is a large square Unframed Fire-Resistant Red Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. A frameless board with an edge-wrapped fire-rated red felt surface, independently certified as a complete composite unit to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0, with no frame so it sits flush and boards butt together for wider coverage. Dimensions 1200mm x 1200mm. Weight 18.1kg. Fire-rated red felt for pins and staples, unframed edge-wrapped construction, portrait or landscape mounting, wall mount kit included, made in the UK, two-year guarantee, indoor use. Used by schools, hospitals, universities and local authorities for safety notices, policies and key information in corridors, stairwells, reception zones and escape routes. Also available in a smaller size and in green and blue, with an aluminium-framed fire-rated version for a defined edge. Displaysense, UK display specialist based in Hertfordshire since 1978. Free UK delivery.
Walk into a room and the red board is the thing the eye finds first, which is exactly why urgent messages belong on it rather than on a quieter surface, a warning or a safety notice registering fast instead of blending into a wall of paper. Black print stays crisp against the red, keeping the words legible at the same time as the colour itself draws the eye, and on a crowded communal wall that pull is often what decides whether a notice gets read or gets walked straight past. For anything a building genuinely needs people to see, that head start on attention is the point of choosing red.
Tested as one finished composite, the board is graded Class 0 against BS 476 and, to the European standard EN 13501-1, Class B-s1 d0, the assessment covering the made-up product rather than its materials one by one, so the rating belongs to the item on the wall. Because that certificate covers the complete board, it can go where fire matters most, an escape route, a stairwell, a corridor, the places an untested surface has no business being. A fire officer can read the classes straight off the paperwork, and an estates or procurement team keeps the same record on file against the order, which is what turns a bold board into a specified one.
A square face, equal on every side, gives the board a broad, balanced area that holds a whole set of notices together, so a busy wall carries timetables, policies and safety signage side by side rather than scattered over several smaller boards. With the felt wrapped over the edges and no frame added, the panel lies flat and borderless, nothing proud to catch a sleeve, and a pair butted together read as one wider display where a single board would run short.
A staple grips the red felt as readily as a push pin, and neither tears the surface, so a laminated notice and a light flyer alike hold firmly and peel back off without a trace, leaving a busy wall quick to refresh. The board is solid but manageable for its footprint, arriving with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings, and a second pair of hands helps steady the square face while it goes level onto a solid wall. Made in the UK and covered by a two-year guarantee, it is meant for indoor use and kept clear of the damp that would work into the felt, a large certified display then left to get on with the job for a whole space to share.

Every detail of the NB7312R is set out in full below, from the large square red felt and its edge-wrapped, frameless build to the two-year guarantee and the fire rating held under both BS 476 and BS EN 13501-1. Each row carries a short note on what the spec delivers for a big, high-visibility display in a school, hospital or public building.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Unframed fire-resistant noticeboard | A large square frameless red felt board, fire-rated as one composite unit, for a bold, compliant display in corridors, stairwells and lobbies. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated red felt | A strong, saturated red on a fire-rated surface that draws the eye to urgent notices and holds black text in sharp contrast for easy reading. |
| Board Size | 1200mm x 1200mm | A generous square face that shows a whole set of notices together, so a single large board covers a busy communal wall in place of several smaller ones over its life. |
| Weight | 18.1kg | Solid but manageable for its size, so one person can position it with a second steadying the square face as it is levelled and fixed. |
| Surface | Fire-rated red felt, pins and staples | Red felt grips push pins and staples across the whole face, so posters and signage stay firm and swap out without leaving a mark behind. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped fabric | With felt folded over the borders and no frame, the panel sits flush, catches little and lets a pair join into one seamless, wider display. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | A square board hangs the same either way, so it drops onto a tall or a wide wall without fuss and turns to match the space. |
| Fixings | Wall mount kit included | A wall mount kit with concealed fixings comes in the box, so the board mounts to a solid wall on the day it lands with a neat finish. |
| Fire Certification | BS 476 Class 0, with EN 13501-1 B-s1 d0 | Checked by an independent lab against both recognised fire standards, so a specifier has the paperwork to site the board on a protected route. |
| Fire Testing | Complete composite unit | Signed off as the finished composite, not material by material, so the fire rating covers the whole board you hang, not one part of it. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | A two-year guarantee backs the board against faults, giving an estates or procurement team longer-term confidence in a certified, made-in-Britain purchase. |
| Origin | Made in the UK | Built in Britain to recognised fire standards, so the board carries a clear origin behind its certification for buyers who value UK sourcing. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Square Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: Which large fire-rated noticeboard is best for a school or hospital corridor?
A: For a school or hospital corridor, the best large fire-rated noticeboard is the NB7312R, a square 1200mm x 1200mm unframed red felt board rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. Its saturated red pulls the eye to urgent notices, the surface takes pins and staples, and the square board mounts either way round wherever fire safety and visibility both count.
Q: What fire rating does this red display board carry?
A: A Class 0 result stands to the board under BS 476, with a Class B-s1 d0 grade under the European standard BS EN 13501-1:2002. Each applies to the made-up board rather than its separate materials, so the whole item is proven fire-rated and clears use in a corridor, stairwell or escape route.
Q: Why choose a red board over a quieter colour?
A: Red is the high-visibility pick. A strong, saturated tone pulls the eye to the board straight away, so a warning or an urgent notice is caught quickly rather than lost among other paper on a wall. For safety messaging in a busy communal space, that immediate visibility is exactly what this display board offers.
Q: Can I fix notices with staples as well as pins?
A: Both hold on this felt board. Push pins press into the red felt and staples grip it just as firmly, so a laminated notice and a paper flyer alike stay put and come away without a mark. It leaves you free to arrange and refresh an information board however a busy wall needs.
Q: How big is the square format and what does it suit?
A: The board is a square 1200mm by 1200mm, a broad, balanced face built for showing a whole set of notices at once. It suits a communal wall with plenty to display, letting timetables, policies and safety signage sit together on one bulletin board rather than being split across several smaller ones.
Q: Can this wall board be mounted portrait or landscape?
A: Yes, and being square it looks the same either way, so it drops onto a tall or a wide wall without any change. A wall mount kit with concealed fixings is supplied, and while the board is manageable for its size, its 18.1kg weight makes a second pair of hands useful for steadying the face as it goes level.
Q: How does this red board compare with the blue NB7312B?
A: Both are square 1200mm x 1200mm unframed, fire-certified boards taking pins and staples, so colour decides. The red NB7312R is bold and high-visibility, best where an urgent notice must be caught fast. The blue NB7312B reads calmer and more corporate, a better fit for an office or reception where a composed look is wanted.
Q: How heavy is this noticeboard and is it hard to fit?
A: The board weighs 18.1kg, solid for its square size but straightforward to hang. It arrives with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings, and one person can position it while a second holds the face level as the fixings go into a solid wall. No frame means several boards can also line up cleanly side by side.
Q: Is this board guaranteed, and where is it made?
A: The board is made in the UK and comes with a two-year guarantee, so it carries a clear origin and longer-term cover against faults. Built to recognised fire standards, it gives an estates or procurement team confidence that the display board meets both quality and safety expectations.
Q: Is this noticeboard suitable for indoor use only?
A: Yes, indoors only. Corridors, stairwells and reception zones suit it, though it should stay clear of damp or outdoor spots where moisture would get into the felt and ruin it. Kept inside, the fire-rated red surface holds up well to the daily wear of a busy public building.
Q: Can this board go in a stairwell or escape route?
A: Yes. Both fire ratings apply to the finished composite, Class 0 through BS 476 and B-s1 d0 through EN 13501-1, so the board is suited to stairwells, escape routes and other fire-sensitive shared areas. Its bold red keeps evacuation guidance plainly on show while the certification meets what those routes demand.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other sizes or colours?
A: Yes. The unframed fire-rated range begins at a compact board and grows beyond this size, and in this square format the certified felt is offered in green and blue besides red. If a defined metal border is wanted rather than the frameless look, a matching aluminium-framed fire version is stocked as well.

No frame means several boards can also line up cleanly side by side.
Q: Is this board guaranteed, and where is it made?
A: The board is made in the UK and comes with a two-year guarantee, so it carries a clear origin and longer-term cover against faults. Built to recognised fire standards, it gives an estates or procurement team confidence that the display board meets both quality and safety expectations.
Q: Is this noticeboard suitable for indoor use only?
A: Yes, indoors only. Corridors, stairwells and reception zones suit it, though it should stay clear of damp or outdoor spots where moisture would get into the felt and ruin it. Kept inside, the fire-rated red surface holds up well to the daily wear of a busy public building.
Q: Can this board go in a stairwell or escape route?
A: Yes. Both fire ratings apply to the finished composite, Class 0 through BS 476 and B-s1 d0 through EN 13501-1, so the board is suited to stairwells, escape routes and other fire-sensitive shared areas. Its bold red keeps evacuation guidance plainly on show while the certification meets what those routes demand.
Q: Does this noticeboard come in other sizes or colours?
A: Yes. The unframed fire-rated range begins at a compact board and grows beyond this size, and in this square format the certified felt is offered in green and blue besides red. If a defined metal border is wanted rather than the frameless look, a matching aluminium-framed fire version is stocked as well.

Matching a Fire-Rated Board to a High-Traffic Wall
For a fire-rated board in a school, the right choice turns on where it hangs, what it has to show and the fire rules that apply to the wall. These Displaysense guides cover whether schools need fire-resistant boards, the best boards for corridors, a full noticeboard buying guide, and safeguarding display ideas for schools. Each one helps match a certified board to the way a school actually uses its walls day to day.
