Put Safety Notices on a Narrow Red Felt Noticeboard
When a message concerns safety, red says so instantly, and this slim red noticeboard carries that signal onto the tight wall runs a full board cannot use, from a stairwell to a window pier or a doorway margin. Certified as a complete composite to BS 476 Class 0 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, it accepts pins and staples, and its wrapped edges leave no frame against a narrow wall. The strong red lends an alert real weight, and being light it hangs by one person either upright or flat. British-made with a two-year guarantee, it puts a compliant board where room is short. It hangs equally well as an upright column or a low band, fitting whichever way the run of wall happens to fall on the day. Best suited to schools, healthcare sites and escape routes where a narrow wall must stay fire-safe.
Why a Narrow Pin Board Still Has to Be Fire-Rated
- Rated across the finished board: Independent testing rates the built board Class 0 to BS 476 and, separately, Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the grades describe the finished item rather than the felt by itself. That is what clears a slim red board for an escape route or protected stair.
- Made for a narrow run of wall: This slim wall board is cut for the thin strips a full-size one leaves untouched, so a stairwell, a window pier or the space by a doorway holds a display at last. Awkward gaps gain a home for safety notices without losing floor room.
- Pins and staples hold fast: Push pins and staples both grip the red felt firmly, so a printed alert or a laminated sheet fixes securely and comes away clean. Even a slim board keeps a fast-changing set of notices tidy through repeated swaps.
- A strong red for safety notices: A deep, strong red is the shade reached for when a message is about safety, so a warning or an evacuation notice carries real weight on a stair. Black print holds firm against it, keeping the words legible while the colour signals its purpose.
- No frame, wrapped in felt: Felt folded over each edge leaves no surround, so the slim board lies flush and unbroken with nothing raised to catch a sleeve. On a busy stair that clean, snag-free face earns its place where people brush past.
- UK-built and light to hang: A UK build and a two-year guarantee come with a wall mount kit and concealed fixings, and the board is slight enough for one person to carry and fix. A compliant information board goes onto a solid wall with just the mounting to arrange.
Where a Slim Red Board Earns a Tight Stairwell Wall
| Schools and Colleges | Fire-drill notices and safety information mark a slim red board along a stairwell or corridor pillar, the bold colour flagging what matters and the narrow drop covering runs a full board misses. A drill instruction is never missed. |
| Hospitals and Healthcare | On ward stairs and clinical routes, evacuation guidance and staff alerts stand out on a fire-rated red board, the urgent tone right for the message while the whole-unit rating keeps a slim board legal where fire rules bite. |
| Stairwells and Escape Routes | Where a protected stair narrows, a Class 0 red board takes the evacuation instruction, the vivid colour lending it the prominence it needs on a route kept compliant from one day to the next. The exit route is made obvious. |
| Universities and Campuses | Down departmental corridors a narrow red board carries safety notices, the deep felt picking out an important message in the through-traffic while the certified construction meets what an estate has to keep. It works where corridors run long. |
| Local Authority Buildings | Council stairwells show safety and evacuation notices on a composite-tested red board, the strong colour giving a critical message presence and the slim, frameless build keeping a public wall in order. The public sees it straight away. |
| Circulation and Through-Ways | Around lift lobbies and the squeeze between doors, alerts and safety notices go on a narrow red board, its compact drop filling slim spaces a standard board leaves empty and the strong colour making the message hard to miss. A warning keeps its place. |

NB7317R is a narrow-format Unframed Fire-Resistant Red Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. A slim 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, built for tight wall spaces where a full-size board will not fit. Dimensions 1800mm x 600mm. Weight 12kg. Fire-rated red felt for pins and staples, unframed edge-wrapped construction, portrait or landscape mounting, wall mount kit with concealed fixings included, light enough for one person to fit, made in the UK, two-year guarantee, indoor use. Used by schools, healthcare sites, universities and local authorities for safety notices and information on stairwells, escape routes and other narrow circulation spaces. Also available in blue, green and grey at this size and in other sizes, with a taller red board for fuller walls. Displaysense, UK display specialist based in Hertfordshire since 1978. Free UK delivery.
What holds the fire rating here is the completed board, not one layer within it, since the assembly was measured as a single composite and came back Class 0 to BS 476 and B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. That is precisely what lets a narrow red panel go up on a protected route, and a facilities lead can hand an inspector the certificate on the spot, the classes printed plainly on it. Kept in the building's records, that single sheet answers a fire officer without any debate over the fabric.
Cut long and shallow, the board reaches into the thin strips of wall a full-size one simply cannot occupy, from a stairwell to a corridor pier or the space to one side of a doorway. Whether it rises as a tall column or runs low along the wall, it hands an otherwise empty band of plaster a real job, and it does so without eating into the route people walk each day. A landing beside a fire door becomes usable, rather than sitting as dead plaster nobody could dress. Set beside a doorway it does not crowd the opening, and along a corridor it stays clear of the handrail line.
Red registers as a safety colour before a single word is taken in, which is exactly why it earns a place on an evacuation notice or an alert. This one is a deep, strong red rather than a pale one, so the message carries proper weight, while black lettering stays firmly legible across it. On a stairwell where a glance is all anyone gives, that instant signal is worth having. Where an ordinary board would fade back, a strong red pulls the eye to the notice that has to be read first.
A lone fitter copes with the whole job, the weight being slight enough to lift, plumb and fix single-handed as the supplied fixings bite into a solid wall, and where a longer wall calls for it two panels sit flush end to end. Made in the UK under a two-year guarantee, it is meant for inside use and kept away from any damp that might reach the fabric. There is no door to hang or catch to align, so a single visit is enough to have it mounted and ready for notices. A maintenance team can add or reposition one without booking a fitter for the whole day.

Below is the complete spec for the NB7317R. Every line pairs a figure with what it does for you, covering a narrow red board built to carry safety notices on an escape route. The five stat boxes flag the essentials at a glance, and the table underneath works through every remaining detail in order.
| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Unframed fire-resistant noticeboard | A narrow red board with no frame, rated as a single composite, made to dress the tight strips a full board cannot. That shape claims wall a full board would waste. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated red felt | A strong safety red on fire-rated felt, giving urgent notices real weight while keeping print legible. The signal is read before the words even are. |
| Board Size | 1800mm x 600mm | A long, slim face that fits an escape stair or a doorway margin a full board would overhang. Dead plaster becomes a proper safety display. |
| Weight | 12kg | At this weight a single fitter carries, steadies and fixes it alone, with no second pair of hands. No lift crew or second helper is called for. |
| Surface | Fire-rated red felt, pins and staples | The felt grips a pin or a staple firmly and releases it mark-free, keeping fast changes tidy. Nothing marks the felt as notices change over. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped fabric | With the fabric folded round the edges there is no surround, keeping the face flat and snag-free. Nothing raised catches a passing shoulder. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Fixes upright or flat, letting it stand narrow in a stair or run long down a corridor. The wall decides, and it obliges. |
| Fixings | Wall mount kit with concealed fixings | A mount kit with hidden fixings is supplied, so the board arrives ready to fit, no visible screws. You choose fixings to match the wall behind, plasterboard or masonry. |
| Fire Certification | Class 0 to BS 476 and, separately, B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1 | Tested to both recognised standards, so the evidence to site it on an escape route is in hand. Evidence a fire officer will accept. |
| Fire Testing | Complete composite unit | Rated as the built-up unit rather than part by part, so the result belongs to the complete board. What hangs up is what was actually tested. |
| Guarantee | 2 years | A two-year guarantee protects against faults, giving an estates team longer-term reassurance. Reassurance well past the first year. |
| Origin | Made in the UK | Made in the UK to the fire standards, so its origin is as clear as its certification. A clear source to match the certificate. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Narrow Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: What is the best fire-rated noticeboard for an escape route or safety wall?
A: The best fire-rated noticeboard for an escape route or safety wall is the NB7317R, a 1800mm x 600mm unframed red felt board rated Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. The strong red flags an instruction that must be seen, the slim drop suits a tight route, and the felt holds pins and staples. It is the board to reach for on a safety-critical wall.
Q: Does the fire rating apply to the built board or the material alone?
A: To the built board. It was measured as a single composite and returned Class 0 to BS 476 and B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1, so the grades describe the whole panel, not one layer. A facilities lead can show the certificate for a board sited on a live route. That paperwork can be produced for a fire officer at any time.
Q: What size is the board, and what wall does it suit?
A: It is 1800mm by 600mm, long and shallow, cut for the strips a full board leaves spare. A stairwell, a window pier or the margin beside a fire door carries a red safety board where nothing else would sit, without eating into the route people walk. The route stays clear while the wall finally earns its keep.
Q: Can I fix notices with staples, or only pins?
A: Either works. A staple grips the red felt just as securely as a push pin, and both release without tearing the surface, so a printed alert or laminated sheet fixes fast and comes away clean. Fast-changing safety notices stay tidy through repeated swaps. The surface shrugs off the constant churn of a safety board.
Q: Why choose a red board over a plainer colour?
A: Red reads as a safety colour before a word is taken in, so a warning or evacuation notice carries weight the moment someone glances at it. This is a deep, strong red rather than a pale one, and black print stays firmly legible across it. The shade is consistent panel to panel across an order.
Q: Can one person carry and hang it?
A: Yes. At 12kg a single fitter lifts, plumbs and fixes it alone, with the supplied concealed fixings going into a solid wall unaided. Where a longer wall calls for it, two frameless boards sit flush end to end without a gap. One visit is enough to have it up and carrying notices.
Q: What sets the red board apart from the blue?
A: Both use the same 1800mm x 600mm frameless shell, the fire test and the pin-holding felt, so it comes down to signal. The red NB7317R is the bolder, more urgent choice for safety and evacuation notices, while the blue NB7317B suits a calmer, more considered corridor or reception. The build, size and rating match, so it is purely a colour call.
Q: Does it hang upright or flat?
A: Both. Stand it tall and narrow in a stairwell or beside a door, or lay it as a low band along a corridor, whichever the wall run allows. The mount kit and hidden fixings are supplied, and the light panel is easy to hold while it is fixed. Whichever way it hangs, no screw heads show on the face.
Q: Is the board suitable for outdoor use?
A: No, it is an indoor board. Damp or open air can work into the felt inside the fire-rated shell, so it should stay in a corridor, stairwell or lobby under cover. Kept dry, it keeps both its colour and its certification. Under cover and dry, both colour and rating are preserved.
Q: What guarantee and origin does it have?
A: Made in the UK and guaranteed for two years, it pairs a clear British source with lasting cover against faults. Produced to recognised fire standards, it gives an estates team confidence that a slim safety board meets the marks that matter. It is protection an estates team can budget around.
Q: How is it delivered, and can it be returned?
A: It ships with free UK mainland delivery from Displaysense, a display supplier trading since 1978. A 28-day returns window gives you room to confirm the red board fits the route once it is in front of you. It reaches you boxed with its fixings included.
Q: Is it available in other colours or larger sizes?
A: Yes. The same 1800mm x 600mm board comes in blue, green and grey, and the fire-rated range extends to bigger formats, among them an 1800mm x 1200mm board supplied as two panels for a wider wall. The felt and rating carry across the range. A mixed order can zone corridors by colour if wanted.
Choosing a Calm Fire-Rated Board for a Quiet Space
A restful board earns a reading corner or reception when its rating and its content suit the room, so the colour and the fire cover matter as much as the message. These Displaysense guides cover British values display ideas, engaging students through displays, reception board ideas, and boards for university accommodation, each useful when a slim green board has to work hard in a calm space.
