Cover a Full Corridor Wall with a Bold Red Felt Noticeboard

An extra-wide wall along a corridor or stairwell can swallow a run of small boards, so a single broad face is what actually gets a fire notice seen, and this red board stretches across a long wall in one continuous sweep. Because it is tested as a whole composite to BS 476 Class 0 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, the rating belongs to the finished board rather than the felt on its own, which is what allows it onto a protected corridor or an escape route. The red is bold and high-visibility, chosen to pull attention straight to an urgent notice, and black print or a safety poster reads cleanly against it down a long space. It hangs landscape to run the length of the wall, the fixings supplied for that orientation, and one broad red face then stands in for a whole wall of small boards. Fixed level and edge to edge, it reads as one deliberate panel rather than a patchwork of separate boards, which is the look a public building wants from a compliance wall. Best suited to schools, NHS buildings and council premises where a long corridor wall has to hold safety information, read clearly from a distance and satisfy fire rules.

Why a Bold Red Wall-Mounted Board Suits Corridors and Escape Routes

  • One extra-wide face: A single broad surface runs the length of a long corridor or hall wall, taking in a span that a row of smaller boards would leave broken up. It gives a busy route one place for every safety notice at once.
  • Rated as one whole panel: Grading is carried out on the finished make-up, felt and backing as one, to Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1. That fixes the classification to the finished article that hangs on the wall, so a wide red one is signed off for a protected escape route.
  • A bold, high-visibility red: This felt is a strong, bright red picked to pull the eye straight to an urgent message. Black text and safety posters stand out sharply on it, so a warning is caught at a glance along a long wall.
  • Frameless and flush to the wall: With no frame around it, the board sits flat against the wall as one edge-to-edge face. On a narrow corridor or stairwell that flush finish keeps a protrusion out of a walkway and gives a passing bag nothing to snag.
  • Push pins or Velcro: The felt takes both push pins and hook-and-loop Velcro, so a notice fixes on and lifts off without a mark. Across a wide board that keeps a busy, often-changed safety display simple to keep in order.
  • Made to hang landscape: It mounts landscape to run wide across the wall, with the wall fixings supplied for that orientation. A long red board then goes up level with only the fixing left to finish on site.

The Buildings That Put a Large Red Board to Work

Stairwells and Escape RoutesEscape stairs and exit routes keep evacuation steps in view on a broad red board that spans the wall, the bold colour holding an instruction legible where a route must stay compliant. Its flush face leaves the walkway clear.
Schools and CollegesLong corridor and hall walls take fire-action notices and safeguarding information on a wide red board, the strong shade marking out what must be seen while the extra width covers a span a smaller board would leave short of the wall.
NHS and HealthcareWard corridors and waiting areas show patient guidance and staff alerts on a fire-rated red board, the vivid tone flagging an urgent notice while whole-board testing meets the fire rules a clinical route is held to. Across a wide waiting area it also gives patients one clear place to find the notice they came for.
Housing AssociationsCommunal blocks and building entrances keep fire-safety information on a broad red panel, its bold shade giving a critical message presence in a shared hallway while the frameless face sits flat where residents pass.
Councils and Public SectorReception halls and busy circulation routes display safety and evacuation information on a wide red board, the high-visibility red reading as urgent while the broad face dresses a long wall a public building has to keep current. A single board then holds the whole run of notices a civic space cycles through week to week.
Universities and CampusesLecture-block corridors and hall-of-residence landings hold safety and fire notices on an extra-wide red board, the strong colour flagging a key instruction the length of a busy floor while whole-board testing is the record a campus estate keeps for its routes.

Fitting a Narrower Wall?

For a shorter run, the same bold red felt comes as the Unframed Fire Resistant Red Felt Noticeboard 1800mm x 1200mm. Free UK mainland delivery included.

NB7324R is an Unframed Fire-Resistant Red Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. An extra-wide safety-red board built to run fire and evacuation notices the length of a corridor wall. Supplied in two parts that join into one display. Dimensions 2400mm x 1200mm. Weight 38.25kg. Bold red fire-rated felt, unframed with a flush edge-to-edge finish, tested as a composite to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0. Takes push pins and Velcro, mounts landscape, wall fixings included, for indoor use. Chosen by schools, the NHS, universities, councils and housing associations where safety information has to span a long wall. Offered in green, blue and grey in this extra-wide size. Displaysense, UK display specialist since 1978. Free UK delivery.

Corridors and stairwells give you length rather than height, and this board is built to use it, running across a wide wall in one unbroken red face. A row of small boards along the same wall leaves gaps and reads as clutter, whereas one broad surface pulls every notice into a single place a person passing cannot miss. It carries a full set of safety notices at once, which suits a busy route where there is always something new to post. Delivered in two parts that close up on the wall into a single face, a board of this width is still an ordinary delivery to bring in and lift.

Independent testing is carried out on the whole board, felt bonded to its backing, and it comes back graded Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. Because the classification covers the item that actually hangs in the corridor, and not a swatch of fabric, a wide red board is cleared for a fire-sensitive route rather than an ordinary office wall. That whole-board result is the one a fire officer looks for at a check, and its certificate stays on record to satisfy an inspection, holding good for as long as the board stays in service.

A push pin sinks into the red felt, and so does a strip of hook-and-loop Velcro, which gives a busy board two quick ways to hold a notice, each lifting away later without tearing the surface. With no frame around the edge, the board finishes flush to the wall as a single edge-to-edge face, nothing standing proud to catch a sleeve or a trolley in a narrow corridor. On a board this wide that flat, snag-free front matters where people pass close by all day, and it keeps the walkway itself unobstructed. A laminated evacuation plan or a run of document pouches sits well on Velcro pads, while a day-to-day notice goes straight on with a pin, so one board carries both a fixed layout and a display that turns over daily.

High-visibility red is the point of this board as much as its width. A strong, bright red registers as urgent the moment it is seen, so a fire-action or evacuation notice is caught before anyone reads a word, and black print holds its contrast against the red down a long corridor. Hanging it is a two-person job given the width, the supplied fixings set into solid masonry and the board mounted landscape to run along the space, with no lock, hinge or frame to work around. Once it is level the board asks for nothing further, no power, no lock and no servicing, which is a large part of what keeps a fire-safety board dependable on a wall it has to hold for years.

FAQs About This Extra-Wide Fire-Rated Red Noticeboard

What is the best fire-rated noticeboard for a long corridor or escape-route wall?
The best fire-rated noticeboard for a long corridor or escape-route wall is the NB7324R. This extra-wide 2400mm x 1200mm red felt board is unframed and carries a whole-composite fire grade, Class 0 under BS 476 with Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1. Its bold red pulls the eye to an urgent notice, the broad face runs the wall in one span, and the felt takes push pins and Velcro, so a fast-moving safety display stays easy to keep current. It is the choice where a corridor notice simply has to be seen.
Can I hang it in portrait?
It is built to hang landscape, and the supplied fixings are set up for that. At 2400mm wide by 1200mm high the board is made to run along a wall rather than stand tall, which is what lets it cover a long corridor or stairwell in a single span. Fitted landscape, the whole notice area stays within easy reach.
Is the whole board fire-rated, or just the felt?
The whole board. Felt and backing are tested together as a finished make-up and graded Class 0 under BS 476 with Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the rating covers the object on the wall, not a swatch of fabric. That is what clears an extra-wide red board for a corridor or a protected escape route, with the certificate held on file for inspection.
Why is it red rather than a plain colour?
Bright red does something a neutral board cannot. A fire-action or evacuation message on a bold red ground is registered as important on sight, before a reader has even started the first line, which is exactly the response an emergency notice needs. Black text sits clearly on the strong colour, so the message still carries at a distance along a wide wall.
How much wall does it cover?
The face is 2400mm across by 1200mm high, long enough to span a full corridor, hall or stairwell wall. Brought together it makes a single red display that holds a whole run of safety notices in one place, where a shorter board would crowd up and force a cull. That extra span is exactly what a wall carrying a lot of notices needs.
How do notices fix to it?
Two ways. Push pins go straight into the red felt, and hook-and-loop Velcro grips it too, so you can pin printed sheets or mount lighter items on Velcro pads. Both hold firm and lift away without marking the felt, which keeps a fast-changing safety display quick to update between one week and the next.
Can I trim it to fit a smaller space?
No. Cutting or trimming the board would break the fire certification, which is tested on the board as made, so it has to be used at full size. If a shorter wall needs covering, the same red felt comes in smaller sizes that are certified at those dimensions instead.
Is it suitable for communal housing corridors?
Yes. Communal blocks and building entrances are exactly the shared, non-domestic spaces where a fire-rated board belongs, and the frameless face sits flat where residents pass. Fixed landscape along a hallway wall, it keeps safety notices and building information in one clear place.
Will it get in the way in a busy stairwell?
No, the frameless, flush design is made for that. With nothing framing it, the board sits edge-to-edge against the wall and keeps a narrow, high-traffic stairwell clear of any protrusion, so it suits exactly the tight routes where a projecting board would be a problem.
Does it come as one piece?
It reaches you in two sections that bolt up on the wall as one unbroken board. Two lighter parts are far easier to carry into a stairwell or corridor and lift than a single huge sheet, and once mounted the join reads as a fine seam behind the notices.
What are the delivery and returns terms?
Free UK mainland delivery comes as standard, the board boxed with its fixings, and Displaysense has supplied the display trade since 1978. A 28-day returns window is there to confirm it works in place once it is fitted, so you can check it on the wall before committing.
How does it compare with the 1800mm red board?
The two boards share a build, the same whole-composite fire grade and a felt that takes push pins, so picking between them comes down to how much wall you have. The NB7324R spans 2400mm for a long corridor or a full wall, while the NB7318R is the 1800mm version for a shorter run. In this 2400mm width the board also comes in green, blue and grey.

Getting a Long Fire-Safe Corridor Board Right

Covering a long corridor with one fire-rated board is only half the job, because how the safety notices are laid out and kept current counts as much as the board itself. These Displaysense guides cover choosing a noticeboard, picking a display board for schools and offices, fire-compliant display in education, and making shared spaces work harder.

Yes. Communal blocks and building entrances are exactly the shared, non-domestic spaces where a fire-rated board belongs, and the frameless face sits flat where residents pass. Fixed landscape along a hallway wall, it keeps safety notices and building information in one clear place.
Will it get in the way in a busy stairwell?
No, the frameless, flush design is made for that. With nothing framing it, the board sits edge-to-edge against the wall and keeps a narrow, high-traffic stairwell clear of any protrusion, so it suits exactly the tight routes where a projecting board would be a problem.
Does it come as one piece?
It reaches you in two sections that bolt up on the wall as one unbroken board. Two lighter parts are far easier to carry into a stairwell or corridor and lift than a single huge sheet, and once mounted the join reads as a fine seam behind the notices.
What are the delivery and returns terms?
Free UK mainland delivery comes as standard, the board boxed with its fixings, and Displaysense has supplied the display trade since 1978. A 28-day returns window is there to confirm it works in place once it is fitted, so you can check it on the wall before committing.
How does it compare with the 1800mm red board?
The two boards share a build, the same whole-composite fire grade and a felt that takes push pins, so picking between them comes down to how much wall you have. The NB7324R spans 2400mm for a long corridor or a full wall, while the NB7318R is the 1800mm version for a shorter run. In this 2400mm width the board also comes in green, blue and grey.

Getting a Long Fire-Safe Corridor Board Right

Covering a long corridor with one fire-rated board is only half the job, because how the safety notices are laid out and kept current counts as much as the board itself. These Displaysense guides cover choosing a noticeboard, picking a display board for schools and offices, fire-compliant display in education, and making shared spaces work harder.

Cover a Full Corridor Wall with a Bold Red Felt Noticeboard

An extra-wide wall along a corridor or stairwell can swallow a run of small boards, so a single broad face is what actually gets a fire notice seen, and this red board stretches across a long wall in one continuous sweep. Because it is tested as a whole composite to BS 476 Class 0 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, the rating belongs to the finished board rather than the felt on its own, which is what allows it onto a protected corridor or an escape route. The red is bold and high-visibility, chosen to pull attention straight to an urgent notice, and black print or a safety poster reads cleanly against it down a long space. It hangs landscape to run the length of the wall, the fixings supplied for that orientation, and one broad red face then stands in for a whole wall of small boards. Fixed level and edge to edge, it reads as one deliberate panel rather than a patchwork of separate boards, which is the look a public building wants from a compliance wall. Best suited to schools, NHS buildings and council premises where a long corridor wall has to hold safety information, read clearly from a distance and satisfy fire rules.

Why a Bold Red Wall-Mounted Board Suits Corridors and Escape Routes

  • One extra-wide face: A single broad surface runs the length of a long corridor or hall wall, taking in a span that a row of smaller boards would leave broken up. It gives a busy route one place for every safety notice at once.
  • Rated as one whole panel: Grading is carried out on the finished make-up, felt and backing as one, to Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1. That fixes the classification to the finished article that hangs on the wall, so a wide red one is signed off for a protected escape route.
  • A bold, high-visibility red: This felt is a strong, bright red picked to pull the eye straight to an urgent message. Black text and safety posters stand out sharply on it, so a warning is caught at a glance along a long wall.
  • Frameless and flush to the wall: With no frame around it, the board sits flat against the wall as one edge-to-edge face. On a narrow corridor or stairwell that flush finish keeps a protrusion out of a walkway and gives a passing bag nothing to snag.
  • Push pins or Velcro: The felt takes both push pins and hook-and-loop Velcro, so a notice fixes on and lifts off without a mark. Across a wide board that keeps a busy, often-changed safety display simple to keep in order.
  • Made to hang landscape: It mounts landscape to run wide across the wall, with the wall fixings supplied for that orientation. A long red board then goes up level with only the fixing left to finish on site.

The Buildings That Put a Large Red Board to Work

Stairwells and Escape RoutesEscape stairs and exit routes keep evacuation steps in view on a broad red board that spans the wall, the bold colour holding an instruction legible where a route must stay compliant. Its flush face leaves the walkway clear.
Schools and CollegesLong corridor and hall walls take fire-action notices and safeguarding information on a wide red board, the strong shade marking out what must be seen while the extra width covers a span a smaller board would leave short of the wall.
NHS and HealthcareWard corridors and waiting areas show patient guidance and staff alerts on a fire-rated red board, the vivid tone flagging an urgent notice while whole-board testing meets the fire rules a clinical route is held to. Across a wide waiting area it also gives patients one clear place to find the notice they came for.
Housing AssociationsCommunal blocks and building entrances keep fire-safety information on a broad red panel, its bold shade giving a critical message presence in a shared hallway while the frameless face sits flat where residents pass.
Councils and Public SectorReception halls and busy circulation routes display safety and evacuation information on a wide red board, the high-visibility red reading as urgent while the broad face dresses a long wall a public building has to keep current. A single board then holds the whole run of notices a civic space cycles through week to week.
Universities and CampusesLecture-block corridors and hall-of-residence landings hold safety and fire notices on an extra-wide red board, the strong colour flagging a key instruction the length of a busy floor while whole-board testing is the record a campus estate keeps for its routes.

Fitting a Narrower Wall?

For a shorter run, the same bold red felt comes as the Unframed Fire Resistant Red Felt Noticeboard 1800mm x 1200mm. Free UK mainland delivery included.

NB7324R is an Unframed Fire-Resistant Red Felt Noticeboard from Displaysense. An extra-wide safety-red board built to run fire and evacuation notices the length of a corridor wall. Supplied in two parts that join into one display. Dimensions 2400mm x 1200mm. Weight 38.25kg. Bold red fire-rated felt, unframed with a flush edge-to-edge finish, tested as a composite to BS 476 Class 0 and BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0. Takes push pins and Velcro, mounts landscape, wall fixings included, for indoor use. Chosen by schools, the NHS, universities, councils and housing associations where safety information has to span a long wall. Offered in green, blue and grey in this extra-wide size. Displaysense, UK display specialist since 1978. Free UK delivery.

Corridors and stairwells give you length rather than height, and this board is built to use it, running across a wide wall in one unbroken red face. A row of small boards along the same wall leaves gaps and reads as clutter, whereas one broad surface pulls every notice into a single place a person passing cannot miss. It carries a full set of safety notices at once, which suits a busy route where there is always something new to post. Delivered in two parts that close up on the wall into a single face, a board of this width is still an ordinary delivery to bring in and lift.

Independent testing is carried out on the whole board, felt bonded to its backing, and it comes back graded Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1. Because the classification covers the item that actually hangs in the corridor, and not a swatch of fabric, a wide red board is cleared for a fire-sensitive route rather than an ordinary office wall. That whole-board result is the one a fire officer looks for at a check, and its certificate stays on record to satisfy an inspection, holding good for as long as the board stays in service.

A push pin sinks into the red felt, and so does a strip of hook-and-loop Velcro, which gives a busy board two quick ways to hold a notice, each lifting away later without tearing the surface. With no frame around the edge, the board finishes flush to the wall as a single edge-to-edge face, nothing standing proud to catch a sleeve or a trolley in a narrow corridor. On a board this wide that flat, snag-free front matters where people pass close by all day, and it keeps the walkway itself unobstructed. A laminated evacuation plan or a run of document pouches sits well on Velcro pads, while a day-to-day notice goes straight on with a pin, so one board carries both a fixed layout and a display that turns over daily.

High-visibility red is the point of this board as much as its width. A strong, bright red registers as urgent the moment it is seen, so a fire-action or evacuation notice is caught before anyone reads a word, and black print holds its contrast against the red down a long corridor. Hanging it is a two-person job given the width, the supplied fixings set into solid masonry and the board mounted landscape to run along the space, with no lock, hinge or frame to work around. Once it is level the board asks for nothing further, no power, no lock and no servicing, which is a large part of what keeps a fire-safety board dependable on a wall it has to hold for years.

FAQs About This Extra-Wide Fire-Rated Red Noticeboard

What is the best fire-rated noticeboard for a long corridor or escape-route wall?
The best fire-rated noticeboard for a long corridor or escape-route wall is the NB7324R. This extra-wide 2400mm x 1200mm red felt board is unframed and carries a whole-composite fire grade, Class 0 under BS 476 with Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1. Its bold red pulls the eye to an urgent notice, the broad face runs the wall in one span, and the felt takes push pins and Velcro, so a fast-moving safety display stays easy to keep current. It is the choice where a corridor notice simply has to be seen.
Can I hang it in portrait?
It is built to hang landscape, and the supplied fixings are set up for that. At 2400mm wide by 1200mm high the board is made to run along a wall rather than stand tall, which is what lets it cover a long corridor or stairwell in a single span. Fitted landscape, the whole notice area stays within easy reach.
Is the whole board fire-rated, or just the felt?
The whole board. Felt and backing are tested together as a finished make-up and graded Class 0 under BS 476 with Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the rating covers the object on the wall, not a swatch of fabric. That is what clears an extra-wide red board for a corridor or a protected escape route, with the certificate held on file for inspection.
Why is it red rather than a plain colour?
Bright red does something a neutral board cannot. A fire-action or evacuation message on a bold red ground is registered as important on sight, before a reader has even started the first line, which is exactly the response an emergency notice needs. Black text sits clearly on the strong colour, so the message still carries at a distance along a wide wall.
How much wall does it cover?
The face is 2400mm across by 1200mm high, long enough to span a full corridor, hall or stairwell wall. Brought together it makes a single red display that holds a whole run of safety notices in one place, where a shorter board would crowd up and force a cull. That extra span is exactly what a wall carrying a lot of notices needs.
How do notices fix to it?
Two ways. Push pins go straight into the red felt, and hook-and-loop Velcro grips it too, so you can pin printed sheets or mount lighter items on Velcro pads. Both hold firm and lift away without marking the felt, which keeps a fast-changing safety display quick to update between one week and the next.
Can I trim it to fit a smaller space?
No. Cutting or trimming the board would break the fire certification, which is tested on the board as made, so it has to be used at full size. If a shorter wall needs covering, the same red felt comes in smaller sizes that are certified at those dimensions instead.
Is it suitable for communal housing corridors?
Yes. Communal blocks and building entrances are exactly the shared, non-domestic spaces where a fire-rated board belongs, and the frameless face sits flat where residents pass. Fixed landscape along a hallway wall, it keeps safety notices and building information in one clear place.
Will it get in the way in a busy stairwell?
No, the frameless, flush design is made for that. With nothing framing it, the board sits edge-to-edge against the wall and keeps a narrow, high-traffic stairwell clear of any protrusion, so it suits exactly the tight routes where a projecting board would be a problem.
Does it come as one piece?
It reaches you in two sections that bolt up on the wall as one unbroken board. Two lighter parts are far easier to carry into a stairwell or corridor and lift than a single huge sheet, and once mounted the join reads as a fine seam behind the notices.
What are the delivery and returns terms?
Free UK mainland delivery comes as standard, the board boxed with its fixings, and Displaysense has supplied the display trade since 1978. A 28-day returns window is there to confirm it works in place once it is fitted, so you can check it on the wall before committing.
How does it compare with the 1800mm red board?
The two boards share a build, the same whole-composite fire grade and a felt that takes push pins, so picking between them comes down to how much wall you have. The NB7324R spans 2400mm for a long corridor or a full wall, while the NB7318R is the 1800mm version for a shorter run. In this 2400mm width the board also comes in green, blue and grey.

This extra-wide 2400mm x 1200mm red felt board is unframed and carries a whole-composite fire grade, Class 0 under BS 476 with Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1. Its bold red pulls the eye to an urgent notice, the broad face runs the wall in one span, and the felt takes push pins and Velcro, so a fast-moving safety display stays easy to keep current. It is the choice where a corridor notice simply has to be seen.
Can I hang it in portrait?
It is built to hang landscape, and the supplied fixings are set up for that. At 2400mm wide by 1200mm high the board is made to run along a wall rather than stand tall, which is what lets it cover a long corridor or stairwell in a single span. Fitted landscape, the whole notice area stays within easy reach.
Is the whole board fire-rated, or just the felt?
The whole board. Felt and backing are tested together as a finished make-up and graded Class 0 under BS 476 with Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1, so the rating covers the object on the wall, not a swatch of fabric. That is what clears an extra-wide red board for a corridor or a protected escape route, with the certificate held on file for inspection.
Why is it red rather than a plain colour?
Bright red does something a neutral board cannot. A fire-action or evacuation message on a bold red ground is registered as important on sight, before a reader has even started the first line, which is exactly the response an emergency notice needs. Black text sits clearly on the strong colour, so the message still carries at a distance along a wide wall.
How much wall does it cover?
The face is 2400mm across by 1200mm high, long enough to span a full corridor, hall or stairwell wall. Brought together it makes a single red display that holds a whole run of safety notices in one place, where a shorter board would crowd up and force a cull. That extra span is exactly what a wall carrying a lot of notices needs.
How do notices fix to it?
Two ways. Push pins go straight into the red felt, and hook-and-loop Velcro grips it too, so you can pin printed sheets or mount lighter items on Velcro pads. Both hold firm and lift away without marking the felt, which keeps a fast-changing safety display quick to update between one week and the next.
Can I trim it to fit a smaller space?
No. Cutting or trimming the board would break the fire certification, which is tested on the board as made, so it has to be used at full size. If a shorter wall needs covering, the same red felt comes in smaller sizes that are certified at those dimensions instead.
Is it suitable for communal housing corridors?
Yes. Communal blocks and building entrances are exactly the shared, non-domestic spaces where a fire-rated board belongs, and the frameless face sits flat where residents pass. Fixed landscape along a hallway wall, it keeps safety notices and building information in one clear place.
Will it get in the way in a busy stairwell?
No, the frameless, flush design is made for that. With nothing framing it, the board sits edge-to-edge against the wall and keeps a narrow, high-traffic stairwell clear of any protrusion, so it suits exactly the tight routes where a projecting board would be a problem.
Does it come as one piece?
It reaches you in two sections that bolt up on the wall as one unbroken board. Two lighter parts are far easier to carry into a stairwell or corridor and lift than a single huge sheet, and once mounted the join reads as a fine seam behind the notices.
What are the delivery and returns terms?
Free UK mainland delivery comes as standard, the board boxed with its fixings, and Displaysense has supplied the display trade since 1978. A 28-day returns window is there to confirm it works in place once it is fitted, so you can check it on the wall before committing.
How does it compare with the 1800mm red board?
The two boards share a build, the same whole-composite fire grade and a felt that takes push pins, so picking between them comes down to how much wall you have. The NB7324R spans 2400mm for a long corridor or a full wall, while the NB7318R is the 1800mm version for a shorter run. In this 2400mm width the board also comes in green, blue and grey.

Getting a Long Fire-Safe Corridor Board Right

Covering a long corridor with one fire-rated board is only half the job, because how the safety notices are laid out and kept current counts as much as the board itself. These Displaysense guides cover choosing a noticeboard, picking a display board for schools and offices, fire-compliant display in education, and making shared spaces work harder.
