Product Overview: The Ultimate Wall Covering Solution

The Cobolt 2400x1200mm Fire Resistant Noticeboard is the facility manager's choice for maximum impact. When a standard 4ft or 6ft board isn't enough, this 2.4-metre wide unit (8ft) delivers "cinematic" display capacity. It transforms entire wall sections into functional acoustic communication surfaces. Crucially, the Class B fire rating ensures that covering such a large surface area does not compromise the fire safety certification of your building.

Certified Fire Safety

  • Class B Certification: Tested to BS EN 13501-1 (Class B), this board is approved for wall linings in circulation spaces. It enables schools and offices to install massive display surfaces in corridors without increasing the fire load or violating the Fire Safety Order.
  • Surface Spread of Flame: For a board of this size, resistance to flame spread is critical. The composite construction (core and fabric) is engineered to prevent rapid ignition, ensuring the escape route remains tenable during an emergency.
  • Audit Compliance: Large non-compliant boards are immediate failures in fire risk assessments. This certified unit provides the documentation and safety performance needed to pass rigorous safety audits.

Maximum Utility

  • Seamless Banking: The frameless design means the blue felt wraps around the edges. You can butt these huge 2.4m boards end-to-end to create a professional "Blue Wall" that spans an entire lecture hall width.
  • Massive Capacity: With 2.88m² of usable space, this board easily holds 24-30 sheets of A4 paper, oversize architectural plans, or extensive project timelines without clutter.
  • Acoustic Damping: The significant surface area of dense felt acts as a powerful sound absorber, helping to reduce reverberation and improve speech clarity in large, echoing rooms.

The Cobolt Standard

  • Free UK Mainland Delivery: Shipping 8ft boards requires specialist freight logistics which can be very expensive. We include this in the price to provide a transparent, fixed cost for your procurement.
  • British Manufacturing: Manufactured in the UK to rigorous standards, ensuring that these large panels remain flat and true, and that the fire rating is consistent across the entire batch.
  • Compliance Guarantee: We supply equipment specifically designed to meet UK Building Regulations (Approved Document B), ensuring your installation is legal and safe.
  • Secure Anchoring: Supplied with a heavy-duty through-fixing kit, ensuring this massive board sits flush against the wall and cannot be accidentally dislodged, even in busy school environments.

Where is this 2400x1200mm Board specified?

The 2400mm x 1200mm Blue Fire Resistant Board is preferred for areas requiring "Wall-to-Wall" communication. It is heavily utilised in:

  • University Lecture Halls: Mounted behind podiums for course information, or along side walls for student society notices.
  • Conference Rooms: A massive surface for mapping out quarterly goals, flowcharts, and strategy documents.
  • School Assembly Halls: Creating "Whole School" displays that celebrate achievement across every year group.
  • Open Plan Offices: Acting as a central "Town Hall" noticeboard for company-wide announcements.

Key Features

  • Grand Format – 2400mm x 1200mm (8ft x 4ft) for maximum display capacity.
  • Fire Rated Class B – Legally compliant for use in escape routes and circulation zones.
  • Frameless Design – Wrapped felt edges allow for seamless banking.
  • Royal Blue Felt – A professional, high-contrast colour that stays looking smart.

Expert Advice for Grand Format Displays

Q: Is this 2400x1200mm board difficult to install?

A: It requires two people. Due to the 8ft length and weight, you will need two people to position and fix it safely. However, the through-fixing method itself is straightforward.

Q: Can this be used in a school corridor?

A: Yes, it is fully compliant. It is tested to BS EN 13501-1 Class B, which is the required standard for wall linings in educational circulation spaces and escape routes.

Q: What are the dimensions in feet?

A: It is approximately 8ft x 4ft. The precise metric dimensions are 2400mm (width) x 1200mm (height).

Q: How many A4 sheets does it hold?

A: It holds approximately 24 to 30 sheets of A4 paper. This massive capacity makes it the ultimate solution for central information hubs.

Q: Is delivery expensive for this size?

A: No, delivery is free. Despite the specialist logistics required for 8ft boards, we cover the delivery cost to UK Mainland addresses.

Q: Do I need special fixings to install it?

A: No, a heavy-duty fixing kit is included. This kit includes appropriate screws and plugs for solid walls to ensure the large board is anchored securely.

Q: Can I use staples as well as pins?

A: Yes, the core accepts both. The high-density core holds staples firmly, making it a good choice for permanent displays that shouldn't be easily removed.

Q: Is the whole board fire rated?

A: Yes, it is a composite rating. Both the core board and the blue fabric are treated and tested together to ensure the complete unit achieves the Class B certification.

Product FAQs

Expert Advice for Grand Format Displays

Q: Is this 2400x1200mm board difficult to install?

A: It requires two people. Due to the 8ft length and weight, you will need two people to position and fix it safely. However, the through-fixing method itself is straightforward.

Q: Can this be used in a school corridor?

A: Yes, it is fully compliant. It is tested to BS EN 13501-1 Class B, which is the required standard for wall linings in educational circulation spaces and escape routes.

Q: What are the dimensions in feet?

A: It is approximately 8ft x 4ft. The precise metric dimensions are 2400mm (width) x 1200mm (height).

Q: How many A4 sheets does it hold?

A: It holds approximately 24 to 30 sheets of A4 paper. This massive capacity makes it the ultimate solution for central information hubs.

Q: Is delivery expensive for this size?

A: No, delivery is free. Despite the specialist logistics required for 8ft boards, we cover the delivery cost to UK Mainland addresses.

Q: Do I need special fixings to install it?

A: No, a heavy-duty fixing kit is included. This kit includes appropriate screws and plugs for solid walls to ensure the large board is anchored securely.

Q: Can I use staples as well as pins?

A: Yes, the core accepts both. The high-density core holds staples firmly, making it a good choice for permanent displays that shouldn't be easily removed.

Q: Is the whole board fire rated?

A: Yes, it is a composite rating. Both the core board and the blue fabric are treated and tested together to ensure the complete unit achieves the Class B certification.
