Product FAQs

Product Overview: The High-Vis Safety Strip

The Cobolt 1800x600mm Red Fire Resistant Noticeboard is the safety officer's solution for maintaining compliance in restricted spaces. In industrial and public buildings, safety notices must be seen but often compete for space with machinery or furniture. This Panoramic Format (3:1 ratio) fits where standard boards cannot. The Signal Red finish acts as an immediate visual alert, while the Class B rating ensures the escape route remains legally compliant.

Certified Fire Safety

  • Class B Certification: Tested to BS EN 13501-1 (Class B), this board is approved for installation in escape routes. It allows you to place directional fire safety signage or "Do Not Enter" warnings on corridor walls without increasing the fire load.
  • Composite Reliability: This is not just a surface treatment. The fire retardancy is engineered into the core and the red fabric face, ensuring the board resists ignition and limits flame spread even in high-risk environments.
  • Statutory Compliance: To ensure staff safety, mandatory notices must be displayed. This certified unit allows you to utilise linear wall space for these legal requirements without obstructing the width of the escape route.

Linear Hazard Zoning

  • Continuous Red Strips: The frameless design allows the red felt to wrap around the edges. You can mount these 1.8m boards end-to-end to create a distinct red zone running the length of a walkway to denote a specific hazard or PPE area.
  • Eye-Level Impact: The 600mm height is perfect for creating a "header" display above workstations or machinery, ensuring safety instructions are right in the operator's eyeline.
  • Versatile Mounting: While typically used as a landscape strip, it can be mounted vertically (600mm wide x 1800mm high) to fit on structural columns near fire extinguishers or call points.

The Cobolt Standard

  • Free UK Mainland Delivery: We prioritise the delivery of safety equipment. We include the shipping costs in the price to ensure there are no barriers to getting your site compliant quickly.
  • British Manufacturing: Produced domestically to strict British Standards, our red boards offer consistent, vivid colour fastness and reliable fire safety certification on every unit.
  • Audit Readiness: We manage our stock levels to ensure rapid dispatch, helping you to address any non-conformances raised during safety audits or fire inspections.
  • Secure Anchoring: Supplied with a robust through-fixing kit, ensuring this wide board remains flush and securely attached to the wall, preventing it from becoming a snagging hazard in busy aisles.

Where is this 1800x600mm Board specified?

The 1800mm x 600mm Red Fire Resistant Board is the standard for critical information areas where vertical space is limited. It is heavily utilised in:

  • Factory Walkways: Mounted above dado rails to display mandatory PPE reminders along the route.
  • Fire Exit Routes: Acting as a long directional board for evacuation instructions in narrow corridors.
  • Plant Rooms: Installed above machinery headers to display operating procedures and emergency stop protocols.
  • School Science Labs: Used as a high-level "Safety Rules" board above workbenches.

Key Features

  • Panoramic Format – 1800mm x 600mm (6ft x 2ft) for linear display.
  • Fire Rated Class B – Complies with BS EN 13501-1 for use in escape routes.
  • Frameless Design – Wrapped felt edges allow for continuous "Red Zone" banking.
  • Signal Red Felt – High-contrast background that demands attention.
  • Pin & Staple Friendly – High-density core holds staples securely for permanent signage.
  • Secure Through-Fixing – Mounts flush to the wall for a neat, tamper-resistant finish.
  • Portrait or Landscape – Versatile mounting options for pillars or walls.
  • British Standard Tested – Certified to BS EN 13501-1.

Cobolt Service & Ethos: Direct from the Experts

  • 50 Years of Heritage: We have supported UK Safety Officers for decades, providing the documentation and reliable equipment needed for risk assessments and audits.
  • Built to Last: We design for durability. Our boards are built to withstand the tough conditions of industrial sites and busy public corridors without failing.
  • In-House UK Support: Safety is critical. Our UK-based team is on hand to answer compliance queries and ensure you order the correct rating for your building.
  • Project Expertise: From a single warehouse to a multi-site factory rollout, we have the expertise to manage your safety signage infrastructure requirements.

Engineered for Compliance. Designed for Durability.

  • Fire Safety: The board is tested as a complete unit to BS EN 13501-1 Class B. This certification is critical for installation in "circulation spaces" (corridors, lobbies, stairwells), ensuring you meet building regulations.
  • Secure Mounting: Unlike boards that hang on picture hooks, this unit is screwed directly through the board into the wall. This makes it safe for busy public areas as it cannot be accidentally knocked off.
  • Acoustic Performance: Even in this strip format, the dense felt helps to break up sound reflections on hard corridor walls, contributing to a quieter environment.
  • Long-Life Surface: The high-quality felt is "self-healing," meaning pinholes tend to close up when pins are removed, ensuring safety notices always look neat and authoritative.
  • We offer a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee covering the board construction and fire rating integrity.

Expert Advice for Safety Signage

Q: Is this 1800x600mm board suitable for narrow corridors?

A: Yes, it is ideal. The slim 600mm height allows it to fit above radiators or pipework, while the 1800mm length provides ample space for safety notices. It is Class B rated for full compliance.

Q: Why is the Red colour important?

A: Red signifies "Action" and "Prohibition." In safety terms, a red board creates an immediate visual alert, ensuring that warning signs or emergency instructions are noticed by staff and visitors.

Q: What are the dimensions in feet?

A: It is approximately 6ft x 2ft. The precise metric dimensions are 1800mm (width) x 600mm (height).

Q: Can I join multiple boards together?

A: Yes, the frameless design is perfect for this. You can butt the short edges together to create a continuous red "hazard strip" running the entire length of a walkway.

Q: How secure is the fixing method?

A: It is very secure. The board uses a through-fixing system where screws go directly through the face of the board into the wall, ensuring it stays flat and cannot be accidentally dislodged.

Q: Do I need special fixings to install it?

A: No, a standard wall fixing kit is included. This kit typically includes screws and wall plugs suitable for solid walls, along with washers or caps for a neat finish.

Q: Can I use staples as well as pins?

A: Yes, the core accepts both. The high-density core holds staples firmly, which is often preferred for permanent safety signage as it is more tamper-resistant than pins.

Q: Is the whole board fire rated?

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

Product FAQs

Expert Advice for Safety Signage

Q: Is this 1800x600mm board suitable for narrow corridors?

A: Yes, it is ideal. The slim 600mm height allows it to fit above radiators or pipework, while the 1800mm length provides ample space for safety notices. It is Class B rated for full compliance.

Q: Why is the Red colour important?

A: Red signifies "Action" and "Prohibition." In safety terms, a red board creates an immediate visual alert, ensuring that warning signs or emergency instructions are noticed by staff and visitors.

Q: What are the dimensions in feet?

A: It is approximately 6ft x 2ft. The precise metric dimensions are 1800mm (width) x 600mm (height).

Q: Can I join multiple boards together?

A: Yes, the frameless design is perfect for this. You can butt the short edges together to create a continuous red "hazard strip" running the entire length of a walkway.

Q: How secure is the fixing method?

A: It is very secure. The board uses a through-fixing system where screws go directly through the face of the board into the wall, ensuring it stays flat and cannot be accidentally dislodged.

Q: Do I need special fixings to install it?

A: No, a standard wall fixing kit is included. This kit typically includes screws and wall plugs suitable for solid walls, along with washers or caps for a neat finish.

Q: Can I use staples as well as pins?

A: Yes, the core accepts both. The high-density core holds staples firmly, which is often preferred for permanent safety signage as it is more tamper-resistant than pins.

Q: Is the whole board fire rated?

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