Product Overview: 1500x1200mm Fire Rated Blue Noticeboard
The Cobolt 1500x1200mm Fire Resistant Blue Noticeboard is a high-capacity solution for safe communication in regulated buildings. Offering significantly more space than standard boards, this 1.5m wide unit serves as a central information hub for whole-school notices, staff rotas, or departmental updates. Manufactured with fully fire-rated materials (Class B certification equivalent), it is designed to resist ignition and prevent flame spread, making it the essential choice for Facility Managers who need to utilize large wall spaces in corridors and stairwells without compromising fire safety regulations.
Critical Safety Compliance
- Fire Retardant Construction: Both the woven blue fabric and the internal core are tested to meet BS EN 13501-1 Class B standards, confirming suitability for use in high-risk circulation areas and escape routes
- Sector Approved: Engineered to meet the stringent fire safety protocols of the NHS, education, and public sectors, allowing large displays to be mounted legally in busy corridors
- Secure Mounting: Features a corner-fixing system concealed by plastic caps to prevent tampering or accidental dislodgement of this larger unit
Expansive Display
- Large Format: The 1500mm x 1200mm size offers a generous canvas, capable of holding 18-24 sheets of A4 paper, reducing the need for multiple smaller boards
- Corporate Blue Cloth: The high-quality fire-rated felt offers a smart, professional background that contrasts cleanly with documents and suits a wide range of interiors
- Aluminium Frame: The anodised silver frame provides a rigid structure that prevents bowing on larger boards while protecting the fabric edges

Compliance & Usage: Common Questions
Q: Is this 1500x1200mm board legal for use in NHS corridors?
A: Generally, yes. This board meets Class B fire rating standards, which is typically the requirement for noticeboards in hospital circulation areas (corridors). However, always consult your specific Trust's Fire Safety Officer for final approval.
Q: Why is a Class B fire rating important for school noticeboards?
A: Class B materials are tested to ensure they do not easily ignite or spread flame. In a school fire, corridors are primary escape routes; using Class B boards prevents these routes from becoming impassable due to burning displays.
Q: Can I install this large board myself (DIY)?
A: Yes, installation is straightforward for a competent DIYer or caretaker. The board comes with a corner fixing kit. Due to the 1.5m width, we recommend two people for positioning to ensure it is level before screwing it to the wall.
Q: How many notices can I fit on this board?
A: The 1500mm x 1200mm size is very generous. You can comfortably display around 18 to 24 sheets of A4 paper in a portrait grid layout, making it perfect for central staff room updates or whole-school news.
Q: Are there specific classroom display ideas for this size?
A: This large size is excellent for "Subject Walls" (e.g., a dedicated Science or History display) in corridors. The blue background provides a professional frame for students' work, and the fire rating ensures safety regulations are met.
Q: Does this product offer good value for money?
A: Absolutely. While fire-rated materials cost more to manufacture, the durability and compliance assurance offer long-term value. Plus, we include Free UK Mainland Delivery, saving you significant shipping costs on a large 5ft item.
Q: Is it fully fireproof?
A: No material is 100% "fireproof". It is "Fire Resistant" (Class B), meaning it is engineered to resist ignition and slow down flame spread significantly, meeting the strict legal standards for public escape routes.
Q: Why buy from Cobolt Furniture?
A: With over 50 years of heritage, we are a leading supplier to UK education and healthcare sectors. We offer Free UK Mainland Delivery, accept Purchase Orders, and provide dedicated account management to ensure your large-scale compliance projects run smoothly.
