Make Safety Notices Stand Out on a Large Red Felt Noticeboard
A strong red felt surface gives this large frameless board real pulling power, drawing the eye to urgent alerts and safety notices so they land fast on a busy wall. Its fire rating covers the whole board, Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to the European standard EN 13501-1, and the red felt holds pins and Velcro-backed resources alike, sitting flush with wrapped edges and no frame so several boards line up into a wider run. Mounted portrait or landscape, it suits the corridors, wards and foyers where a notice has to be seen quickly and the wall still has to meet fire rules. Best suited to schools, hospitals and council buildings where a large, high-visibility display must catch attention and satisfy fire-safety standards at once.
Why High-Risk Areas Rely on a Fire-Certified Board
- Bold red that catches the eye: A strong, vivid red pulls attention fast, so an urgent alert or safety notice is seen across a busy room rather than blending in. Black text and printed sheets stand out sharply against it, making the board a natural home for messages that must not be missed.
- Flat to the wall, no surround: Because the felt wraps over the edges with no surround, the board lies flat for a clean look and leaves less to snag a sleeve or be picked at in a corridor. Two or more butt together edge to edge as one wider run when a single panel cannot cover the space.
- Takes both pins and Velcro: Push pins press into the red felt and Velcro-backed resources cling to it just as well, so a poster, a rota or a safety sign fixes firmly and lifts off again in seconds. The face shrugs off constant swaps, keeping a clean, even red on a board that changes daily.
- Whole-board fire classification: It clears BS 476 Class 0 and, as a separate European standard, BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1 d0, checked as a finished board rather than by individual parts. That gives a fire officer or estates team the evidence to place it on a protected route.
- Made for busy indoor spaces: Kept to indoor corridors, foyers and shared rooms away from damp and weather, the board earns its place on the high-traffic walls of a school, hospital or council building, giving room for a full run of alerts where visibility and fire safety both count.
- Fast to fix despite the width: Supplied with wall fixings and light for such a broad board, it beds onto a solid wall without fuss, an extra person needed only to hold the wide face level. After that it looks after itself, a large, compliant display that took very little to hang.
Where a Bold Red Board Suits a Safety-First Wall
| Education Corridors and Halls | Teaching corridors and assembly halls use a vivid red board to make safeguarding alerts and urgent notices impossible to miss, the certified surface meeting the fire rules a school route demands while the frameless face sits flush in a busy walkway. |
| Hospitals and Healthcare Wards | Ward approaches and department walls carry emergency information and staff alerts on a fire-rated red felt, the strong colour drawing the eye to what matters most while the rating keeps a large display compliant on a safety-critical route. |
| Offices and Staff Rooms | Priority notices, rotas and health and safety updates go up on a bold red surface in shared offices and staff rooms, standing out among everyday paperwork, the unframed board taking pins and Velcro so a mixed display changes without fuss. |
| Council and Housing Buildings | Civic lobbies and housing-association foyers show safety notices and public alerts on a composite-tested red board, the high-visibility colour and flush frameless finish suiting a public wall that must be noticed and stay compliant at once. |
| Stairwells and Escape Routes | On a protected stairwell or escape route a BS 476 Class 0 rating lets this red board hold evacuation guidance where it has to be seen fast, the vivid surface proving good on a wall a building cannot afford to have overlooked in an emergency. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | Front-of-house walls put visitor safety information and key alerts on a striking red felt, the borderless edge keeping a large display looking deliberate while the colour makes sure a visitor takes in the notice straight away. |

NB7309R is a large 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 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 900mm x 1200mm. Weight 13.6kg. Fire-rated red felt for pins and Velcro-backed resources, unframed edge-wrapped construction, portrait or landscape mounting, wall fixings included, indoor use. Used by schools, hospitals, offices, council and housing-association buildings for high-visibility safety notices, alerts, timetables and staff information in corridors, stairwells and escape routes. Also available in a smaller size and in green, grey 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.
A saturated red reads from right across a room, so an alert, a warning or a safety notice on this board registers quickly instead of sitting unnoticed among other paper on a wall. That reach is the whole reason to reach for red over a quieter colour on a wall that matters. Black print holds sharp contrast against the surface, keeping the words legible at the same time as the panel itself draws the eye, which is why it works so well for the messages a building most needs people to see. On a wall crowded with paper, that pull is often the difference between a warning being read and being walked straight past.
Losing the frame changes how the board sits as much as how it looks. With the red felt wrapped over the edges, the panel lies flat and borderless against the wall, and with nothing standing proud there is little to snag a sleeve or be worked loose along a busy walkway. Set more than one together and they meet edge to edge with no border between, so a bare stretch of wall becomes a single continuous red display instead of a row of separate panels. That flush, unbroken run also gives a modern look, letting the notices do the talking with nothing framing them.
Independent testing puts the whole board at Class 0 under BS 476 and, separately, at Class B-s1 d0 under BS EN 13501-1, assessed as a finished unit rather than component by component, so the rating belongs to the board itself and not to one layer of it. Because that certificate covers the finished board, it can be fitted where fire matters most, a corridor, a stairwell, an escape route, spots an untested surface has no business being. A fire officer can read the classes off the paperwork, and an estates or procurement team keeps that same record on file against the order.
Putting a display together on it stays quick and flexible. The felt takes traditional push pins and Velcro-backed resources alike, so a laminated warning and a light flyer both fix securely and lift away clean, letting a fast-moving board be re-dressed as often as the day demands. Wide though the panel is, it weighs little for its footprint and comes with wall fixings, so it beds onto a solid indoor wall in minutes, an extra person useful mainly to steady the broad face while it is levelled. For its scale, that is a large stretch of bright, safety-rated display gained for very little work.

This table gives the NB7309R in full, taking in the large red felt, the way its edges are wrapped without a frame, and its fire rating under both BS 476 and BS EN 13501-1, each line noting in plain terms what the detail brings to 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 frameless red felt board, certified fire-rated as one unit, for a high-visibility, compliant display in the corridors, stairwells and lobbies of a building. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated red felt | A strong, vivid red on a fire-rated surface that pulls the eye to urgent notices and keeps black text standing out clearly on a large wall. |
| Board Size | 900mm x 1200mm | A big face that shows a full set of alerts, notices and signage at once, so a single board does the work of several smaller ones across a busy public wall. |
| Weight | 13.6kg | The 13.6kg mass is modest for so large a panel, so one person can hang it, with someone steadying the far side making the wide board simpler to level. |
| Surface | Fire-rated red felt, pins and Velcro | Red felt grips push pins and Velcro-backed resources alike, so posters and signage stay firm across the whole face and swap out later without marking it. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped fabric | Felt taken over the edges leaves no frame, so the board sits flush, snags less and lets several align into one broader display. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Hangs in portrait or landscape, so a tall wall or a wide one both take the board, which turns to fit the space and the notices it carries. |
| Fixings | Wall fixings included | Wall fixings arrive with the board, so it mounts to a solid wall on the day it lands, with nothing more to order or source separately. |
| Fire Certification | Class 0 to BS 476, B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1 | Checked by an independent lab against both recognised fire standards, which is the evidence a specifier needs to site the board on a protected route. |
| Fire Testing | Complete unit | Signed off as the finished board, not part by part, so the rating belongs to the item you hang rather than one layer of it. |
| Environment | Indoor use | Built for indoor corridors, foyers and wards, kept clear of the damp and weather that would work into a felt surface and spoil it over time. |
| Ideal Locations | Corridors, stairwells, escape routes | For the fire-sensitive, high-traffic walls of schools, hospitals, offices and council buildings where an urgent notice must be caught quickly. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Large Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: Which large fire-rated noticeboard is best for high-visibility safety notices?
A: The best large fire-rated noticeboard for high-visibility safety notices is the NB7309R, an unframed red felt board measuring 900mm by 1200mm, fire-rated to Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1. Its vivid red pulls the eye to urgent alerts, the felt holds pins and Velcro, and it goes up either way round in a compliant, high-traffic spot.
Q: What fire certification does this red board hold?
A: Independent testing gives the board a BS 476 Class 0 rating and, in the European classification, a BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0 one. Each is awarded to the finished unit rather than to a single component, so the whole item is proven fire-rated and can be signed off for a corridor, stairwell or escape route.
Q: Why choose a red board over a calmer colour?
A: Red is built for visibility. Its strong, warm tone jumps out on a wall, so a warning or urgent notice is picked up quickly across a busy space instead of slipping past. It fits anywhere a message cannot be missed, whereas the green version of this board suits a wellbeing or waiting area where a softer, calmer look is wanted instead.
Q: Can I fix notices with Velcro or only with pins?
A: Both hold well. Push pins press into the red felt, and Velcro-backed resources grip it just as firmly, so a laminated warning and a paper flyer alike stay put and peel away without a mark. That flexibility lets a display be arranged and refreshed however a busy wall needs from one week to the next.
Q: What makes the frameless build suit a busy corridor?
A: There is no surround, so the red felt reaches the edge and the board lies flat to the wall, leaving nothing proud to catch a passing sleeve or be picked loose. It also means boards can be run tight against each other into a single broad display, with a clean borderless finish that looks at home in a modern building.
Q: Does the board fix in portrait or in landscape?
A: Either orientation works. Stand it upright on a tall slice of wall or lay it wide across a low one, whichever fits the space and the notices going on it. Wall fixings come in the box, and while the board is light for its footprint, a helper to steady the far side makes levelling the broad face easier.
Q: How does the red NB7309R differ from the green NB7309GR?
A: They are the same 900mm x 1200mm unframed, fire-certified board and both take pins and Velcro, so the split is purely colour and purpose. Red is the bold, high-visibility option for alerts that must be seen at once. The green NB7309GR is the calmer choice, better suited to wellbeing, healthcare and pastoral walls.
Q: How large and heavy is this noticeboard?
A: It spans 900mm by 1200mm and weighs 13.6kg, a size cut out for the bigger walls of a corridor, ward or foyer. The weight is modest for that footprint, so a single person can lift and hang it, though holding such a wide board level is quicker with someone bracing the opposite side.
Q: Is the board only for indoor use?
A: Yes, it belongs indoors. Corridors, foyers and wards suit it well, but it should be kept away from damp or outdoor spots where moisture would work into the felt and spoil it. Used inside, the fire-rated red surface stands up to the constant handling of a busy public building.
Q: How is a board of this width fixed up?
A: The wall fixings needed come supplied, and the board beds flat onto a solid wall within minutes. One person can steady it while a second drives the fixings, whether it hangs tall or wide. Without a frame in the way, a row of boards lines up edge to edge into a broader display and no join shows between them.
Q: Can it go in an escape route or stairwell?
A: Yes. The board carries BS 476 Class 0 and, in the European scheme, EN 13501-1 Class B-s1 d0 across the finished unit, which makes it right for stairwells, escape routes and other fire-sensitive shared areas. The bright red keeps evacuation guidance in clear view while the rating meets the standards those routes have to satisfy.
Q: Is the board sold in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. This unframed fire-rated line steps up from a compact board to formats larger than this one, and the certified felt comes in green, grey and blue besides red. Where a defined metal edge is preferred to the borderless look, a matching aluminium-framed fire version is available as well.
How a Bright Red Board Keeps a Busy Building Compliant
When a large board goes onto a public wall, how far it can be seen, whether the surface is fire-tested and where it is fixed all shape the right choice for a school, hospital or council building. These Displaysense guides look at fire-resistant boards for schools, boards for busy corridors, and choosing the right display for a space.

The board carries BS 476 Class 0 and, in the European scheme, EN 13501-1 Class B-s1 d0 across the finished unit, which makes it right for stairwells, escape routes and other fire-sensitive shared areas. The bright red keeps evacuation guidance in clear view while the rating meets the standards those routes have to satisfy.
Q: Is the board sold in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. This unframed fire-rated line steps up from a compact board to formats larger than this one, and the certified felt comes in green, grey and blue besides red. Where a defined metal edge is preferred to the borderless look, a matching aluminium-framed fire version is available as well.

How a Bright Red Board Keeps a Busy Building Compliant
When a large board goes onto a public wall, how far it can be seen, whether the surface is fire-tested and where it is fixed all shape the right choice for a school, hospital or council building. These Displaysense guides look at fire-resistant boards for schools, boards for busy corridors, and choosing the right display for a space.

Make Safety Notices Stand Out on a Large Red Felt Noticeboard
A strong red felt surface gives this large frameless board real pulling power, drawing the eye to urgent alerts and safety notices so they land fast on a busy wall. Its fire rating covers the whole board, Class 0 to BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 to the European standard EN 13501-1, and the red felt holds pins and Velcro-backed resources alike, sitting flush with wrapped edges and no frame so several boards line up into a wider run. Mounted portrait or landscape, it suits the corridors, wards and foyers where a notice has to be seen quickly and the wall still has to meet fire rules. Best suited to schools, hospitals and council buildings where a large, high-visibility display must catch attention and satisfy fire-safety standards at once.
Why High-Risk Areas Rely on a Fire-Certified Board
- Bold red that catches the eye: A strong, vivid red pulls attention fast, so an urgent alert or safety notice is seen across a busy room rather than blending in. Black text and printed sheets stand out sharply against it, making the board a natural home for messages that must not be missed.
- Flat to the wall, no surround: Because the felt wraps over the edges with no surround, the board lies flat for a clean look and leaves less to snag a sleeve or be picked at in a corridor. Two or more butt together edge to edge as one wider run when a single panel cannot cover the space.
- Takes both pins and Velcro: Push pins press into the red felt and Velcro-backed resources cling to it just as well, so a poster, a rota or a safety sign fixes firmly and lifts off again in seconds. The face shrugs off constant swaps, keeping a clean, even red on a board that changes daily.
- Whole-board fire classification: It clears BS 476 Class 0 and, as a separate European standard, BS EN 13501-1 Class B-s1 d0, checked as a finished board rather than by individual parts. That gives a fire officer or estates team the evidence to place it on a protected route.
- Made for busy indoor spaces: Kept to indoor corridors, foyers and shared rooms away from damp and weather, the board earns its place on the high-traffic walls of a school, hospital or council building, giving room for a full run of alerts where visibility and fire safety both count.
- Fast to fix despite the width: Supplied with wall fixings and light for such a broad board, it beds onto a solid wall without fuss, an extra person needed only to hold the wide face level. After that it looks after itself, a large, compliant display that took very little to hang.
Where a Bold Red Board Suits a Safety-First Wall
| Education Corridors and Halls | Teaching corridors and assembly halls use a vivid red board to make safeguarding alerts and urgent notices impossible to miss, the certified surface meeting the fire rules a school route demands while the frameless face sits flush in a busy walkway. |
| Hospitals and Healthcare Wards | Ward approaches and department walls carry emergency information and staff alerts on a fire-rated red felt, the strong colour drawing the eye to what matters most while the rating keeps a large display compliant on a safety-critical route. |
| Offices and Staff Rooms | Priority notices, rotas and health and safety updates go up on a bold red surface in shared offices and staff rooms, standing out among everyday paperwork, the unframed board taking pins and Velcro so a mixed display changes without fuss. |
| Council and Housing Buildings | Civic lobbies and housing-association foyers show safety notices and public alerts on a composite-tested red board, the high-visibility colour and flush frameless finish suiting a public wall that must be noticed and stay compliant at once. |
| Stairwells and Escape Routes | On a protected stairwell or escape route a BS 476 Class 0 rating lets this red board hold evacuation guidance where it has to be seen fast, the vivid surface proving good on a wall a building cannot afford to have overlooked in an emergency. |
| Reception and Entrance Areas | Front-of-house walls put visitor safety information and key alerts on a striking red felt, the borderless edge keeping a large display looking deliberate while the colour makes sure a visitor takes in the notice straight away. |

NB7309R is a large 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 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 900mm x 1200mm. Weight 13.6kg. Fire-rated red felt for pins and Velcro-backed resources, unframed edge-wrapped construction, portrait or landscape mounting, wall fixings included, indoor use. Used by schools, hospitals, offices, council and housing-association buildings for high-visibility safety notices, alerts, timetables and staff information in corridors, stairwells and escape routes. Also available in a smaller size and in green, grey 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.
A saturated red reads from right across a room, so an alert, a warning or a safety notice on this board registers quickly instead of sitting unnoticed among other paper on a wall. That reach is the whole reason to reach for red over a quieter colour on a wall that matters. Black print holds sharp contrast against the surface, keeping the words legible at the same time as the panel itself draws the eye, which is why it works so well for the messages a building most needs people to see. On a wall crowded with paper, that pull is often the difference between a warning being read and being walked straight past.
Losing the frame changes how the board sits as much as how it looks. With the red felt wrapped over the edges, the panel lies flat and borderless against the wall, and with nothing standing proud there is little to snag a sleeve or be worked loose along a busy walkway. Set more than one together and they meet edge to edge with no border between, so a bare stretch of wall becomes a single continuous red display instead of a row of separate panels. That flush, unbroken run also gives a modern look, letting the notices do the talking with nothing framing them.
Independent testing puts the whole board at Class 0 under BS 476 and, separately, at Class B-s1 d0 under BS EN 13501-1, assessed as a finished unit rather than component by component, so the rating belongs to the board itself and not to one layer of it. Because that certificate covers the finished board, it can be fitted where fire matters most, a corridor, a stairwell, an escape route, spots an untested surface has no business being. A fire officer can read the classes off the paperwork, and an estates or procurement team keeps that same record on file against the order.
Putting a display together on it stays quick and flexible. The felt takes traditional push pins and Velcro-backed resources alike, so a laminated warning and a light flyer both fix securely and lift away clean, letting a fast-moving board be re-dressed as often as the day demands. Wide though the panel is, it weighs little for its footprint and comes with wall fixings, so it beds onto a solid indoor wall in minutes, an extra person useful mainly to steady the broad face while it is levelled. For its scale, that is a large stretch of bright, safety-rated display gained for very little work.

This table gives the NB7309R in full, taking in the large red felt, the way its edges are wrapped without a frame, and its fire rating under both BS 476 and BS EN 13501-1, each line noting in plain terms what the detail brings to 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 frameless red felt board, certified fire-rated as one unit, for a high-visibility, compliant display in the corridors, stairwells and lobbies of a building. |
| Colour / Finish | Fire-rated red felt | A strong, vivid red on a fire-rated surface that pulls the eye to urgent notices and keeps black text standing out clearly on a large wall. |
| Board Size | 900mm x 1200mm | A big face that shows a full set of alerts, notices and signage at once, so a single board does the work of several smaller ones across a busy public wall. |
| Weight | 13.6kg | The 13.6kg mass is modest for so large a panel, so one person can hang it, with someone steadying the far side making the wide board simpler to level. |
| Surface | Fire-rated red felt, pins and Velcro | Red felt grips push pins and Velcro-backed resources alike, so posters and signage stay firm across the whole face and swap out later without marking it. |
| Design | Unframed, edge-wrapped fabric | Felt taken over the edges leaves no frame, so the board sits flush, snags less and lets several align into one broader display. |
| Orientation | Portrait or landscape | Hangs in portrait or landscape, so a tall wall or a wide one both take the board, which turns to fit the space and the notices it carries. |
| Fixings | Wall fixings included | Wall fixings arrive with the board, so it mounts to a solid wall on the day it lands, with nothing more to order or source separately. |
| Fire Certification | Class 0 to BS 476, B-s1 d0 to EN 13501-1 | Checked by an independent lab against both recognised fire standards, which is the evidence a specifier needs to site the board on a protected route. |
| Fire Testing | Complete unit | Signed off as the finished board, not part by part, so the rating belongs to the item you hang rather than one layer of it. |
| Environment | Indoor use | Built for indoor corridors, foyers and wards, kept clear of the damp and weather that would work into a felt surface and spoil it over time. |
| Ideal Locations | Corridors, stairwells, escape routes | For the fire-sensitive, high-traffic walls of schools, hospitals, offices and council buildings where an urgent notice must be caught quickly. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This Large Fire-Rated Noticeboard
Q: Which large fire-rated noticeboard is best for high-visibility safety notices?
A: The best large fire-rated noticeboard for high-visibility safety notices is the NB7309R, an unframed red felt board measuring 900mm by 1200mm, fire-rated to Class 0 under BS 476 and Class B-s1 d0 under EN 13501-1. Its vivid red pulls the eye to urgent alerts, the felt holds pins and Velcro, and it goes up either way round in a compliant, high-traffic spot.
Q: What fire certification does this red board hold?
A: Independent testing gives the board a BS 476 Class 0 rating and, in the European classification, a BS EN 13501-1:2002 Class B-s1 d0 one. Each is awarded to the finished unit rather than to a single component, so the whole item is proven fire-rated and can be signed off for a corridor, stairwell or escape route.
Q: Why choose a red board over a calmer colour?
A: Red is built for visibility. Its strong, warm tone jumps out on a wall, so a warning or urgent notice is picked up quickly across a busy space instead of slipping past. It fits anywhere a message cannot be missed, whereas the green version of this board suits a wellbeing or waiting area where a softer, calmer look is wanted instead.
Q: Can I fix notices with Velcro or only with pins?
A: Both hold well. Push pins press into the red felt, and Velcro-backed resources grip it just as firmly, so a laminated warning and a paper flyer alike stay put and peel away without a mark. That flexibility lets a display be arranged and refreshed however a busy wall needs from one week to the next.
Q: What makes the frameless build suit a busy corridor?
A: There is no surround, so the red felt reaches the edge and the board lies flat to the wall, leaving nothing proud to catch a passing sleeve or be picked loose. It also means boards can be run tight against each other into a single broad display, with a clean borderless finish that looks at home in a modern building.
Q: Does the board fix in portrait or in landscape?
A: Either orientation works. Stand it upright on a tall slice of wall or lay it wide across a low one, whichever fits the space and the notices going on it. Wall fixings come in the box, and while the board is light for its footprint, a helper to steady the far side makes levelling the broad face easier.
Q: How does the red NB7309R differ from the green NB7309GR?
A: They are the same 900mm x 1200mm unframed, fire-certified board and both take pins and Velcro, so the split is purely colour and purpose. Red is the bold, high-visibility option for alerts that must be seen at once. The green NB7309GR is the calmer choice, better suited to wellbeing, healthcare and pastoral walls.
Q: How large and heavy is this noticeboard?
A: It spans 900mm by 1200mm and weighs 13.6kg, a size cut out for the bigger walls of a corridor, ward or foyer. The weight is modest for that footprint, so a single person can lift and hang it, though holding such a wide board level is quicker with someone bracing the opposite side.
Q: Is the board only for indoor use?
A: Yes, it belongs indoors. Corridors, foyers and wards suit it well, but it should be kept away from damp or outdoor spots where moisture would work into the felt and spoil it. Used inside, the fire-rated red surface stands up to the constant handling of a busy public building.
Q: How is a board of this width fixed up?
A: The wall fixings needed come supplied, and the board beds flat onto a solid wall within minutes. One person can steady it while a second drives the fixings, whether it hangs tall or wide. Without a frame in the way, a row of boards lines up edge to edge into a broader display and no join shows between them.
Q: Can it go in an escape route or stairwell?
A: Yes. The board carries BS 476 Class 0 and, in the European scheme, EN 13501-1 Class B-s1 d0 across the finished unit, which makes it right for stairwells, escape routes and other fire-sensitive shared areas. The bright red keeps evacuation guidance in clear view while the rating meets the standards those routes have to satisfy.
Q: Is the board sold in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. This unframed fire-rated line steps up from a compact board to formats larger than this one, and the certified felt comes in green, grey and blue besides red. Where a defined metal edge is preferred to the borderless look, a matching aluminium-framed fire version is available as well.

Red is the bold, high-visibility option for alerts that must be seen at once. The green NB7309GR is the calmer choice, better suited to wellbeing, healthcare and pastoral walls.
Q: How large and heavy is this noticeboard?
A: It spans 900mm by 1200mm and weighs 13.6kg, a size cut out for the bigger walls of a corridor, ward or foyer. The weight is modest for that footprint, so a single person can lift and hang it, though holding such a wide board level is quicker with someone bracing the opposite side.
Q: Is the board only for indoor use?
A: Yes, it belongs indoors. Corridors, foyers and wards suit it well, but it should be kept away from damp or outdoor spots where moisture would work into the felt and spoil it. Used inside, the fire-rated red surface stands up to the constant handling of a busy public building.
Q: How is a board of this width fixed up?
A: The wall fixings needed come supplied, and the board beds flat onto a solid wall within minutes. One person can steady it while a second drives the fixings, whether it hangs tall or wide. Without a frame in the way, a row of boards lines up edge to edge into a broader display and no join shows between them.
Q: Can it go in an escape route or stairwell?
A: Yes. The board carries BS 476 Class 0 and, in the European scheme, EN 13501-1 Class B-s1 d0 across the finished unit, which makes it right for stairwells, escape routes and other fire-sensitive shared areas. The bright red keeps evacuation guidance in clear view while the rating meets the standards those routes have to satisfy.
Q: Is the board sold in other colours or sizes?
A: Yes. This unframed fire-rated line steps up from a compact board to formats larger than this one, and the certified felt comes in green, grey and blue besides red. Where a defined metal edge is preferred to the borderless look, a matching aluminium-framed fire version is available as well.

How a Bright Red Board Keeps a Busy Building Compliant
When a large board goes onto a public wall, how far it can be seen, whether the surface is fire-tested and where it is fixed all shape the right choice for a school, hospital or council building. These Displaysense guides look at fire-resistant boards for schools, boards for busy corridors, and choosing the right display for a space.
