Product Overview: The Ultimate Safety Station
The Cobolt 2400x1200mm Red Fire Resistant Noticeboard is the safety officer's most powerful tool. In vast industrial spaces, small signs are lost in the visual noise. This 2.4-metre wide unit (8ft) demands attention. The Signal Red finish acts as a universal warning beacon, ensuring that your mandatory safety protocols and emergency procedures are impossible to miss, while the Class B rating keeps your building 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 utilise massive corridor walls for safety information without increasing the fire load or violating building codes.
- Surface Spread of Flame: In high-risk environments, limiting flame spread is crucial. This unit's composite construction is engineered to resist ignition, ensuring that your safety signage does not become a fuel source during a fire.
- Statutory Compliance: To avoid negligence claims, safety notices must be prominent and accessible. This grand-format board allows you to display the full suite of mandatory posters (A1/A0 size) on one compliant surface.
Maximum Visibility
- Seamless Banking: The red felt wraps around the edges. You can butt these huge 2.4m boards end-to-end to create a continuous "Red Zone" wall that spans an entire warehouse aisle, clearly marking it as a hazard or control area.
- Massive Capacity: With 2.88m² of usable space, this board easily accommodates large architectural site plans, insurance certificates, and dozens of A4 notices without looking cluttered.
- Universal Mounting: The board can be installed in Portrait (1.2m wide) or Landscape (2.4m wide), allowing it to fit on large structural columns or across wide partition walls.
The Cobolt Standard
- Free UK Mainland Delivery: Shipping 8ft boards requires specialist heavy-goods logistics. We absorb these costs to ensure there are no barriers to getting your site compliant quickly and within budget.
- Audit Readiness: We understand the pressure of safety audits. Our stock is managed to ensure rapid dispatch, helping you to close out non-conformances regarding signage visibility immediately.
- British Manufacturing: Produced domestically to strict British Standards, ensuring that the fire rating is reliable and the Signal Red colour remains vibrant over years of use.
- Secure Anchoring: In industrial environments, equipment must be secure. Our heavy-duty through-fixing kit anchors the board firmly to the wall, preventing it from becoming a loose hazard.
Where is this 2400x1200mm Board specified?
The 2400mm x 1200mm Red Fire Resistant Board is the standard for critical information areas requiring maximum impact. It is heavily utilised in:
- Distribution Centres: Creating a central "Safety Hub" for PPE requirements, shift patterns, and hazard warnings visible to all staff.
- Fire Exit Corridors: Displaying clear, large-scale "Fire Action" instructions next to call points and exits.
- Emergency Control Rooms: A massive, reliable surface for pinning incident maps, command logs, and temporary orders.
- Student Unions: Used for high-priority campaign notices or "Red Alert" announcements.
Key Features
- Grand Format – 2400mm x 1200mm (8ft x 4ft) for maximum visibility.
- 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 – Dense core holds staples securely for permanent signage.
- Secure Through-Fixing – Mounts flush to the wall for a neat, tamper-resistant finish.
- Acoustic Damping – Reduces noise reverberation in large open spaces.
- 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 critical risk assessments.
- 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 entire unit (core and fabric) is tested as a composite to BS EN 13501-1 Class B. This ensures it meets the stringent requirements for wall linings in escape routes, preventing the board from fueling a fire.
- Vandal Resistance: The bonded felt is tough and difficult to pick at. Because the board is screwed directly to the wall (through the front), it is highly resistant to being pulled off or tampered with.
- Acoustic Benefits: These large boards act as sound absorbers in echoing stairwells, helping to clarify public address announcements or alarm sounds by reducing reverberation.
- 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.
The 2400mm x 1200mm Red Fire Resistant Noticeboard is the robust choice for safety signage. These specifications detail the compliance ratings and dimensions for your building logbook.
Please note: Always check your building's specific Fire Risk Assessment requirements before purchase. Class B is the standard requirement for most circulation areas.

Expert Advice for Safety Officers
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: Why is the Red colour important?
A: Red signifies "Action" and "Prohibition." In safety terms, massive red boards draw immediate attention to hazards and mandatory instructions, ensuring they are not ignored.
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: Can I use staples for permanent notices?
A: Yes, the core accepts staples firmly. Safety officers often prefer staples for permanent notices (like Fire Action signs) as they are tamper-resistant compared to pins.
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: Is the whole board fire rated?
A: Yes, it is a composite test. Both the dense core board and the red fabric covering are fire retardant and tested together to ensure the complete unit achieves the Class B rating.
Q: Can I install this in a fire exit corridor?
A: Yes, it is fully compliant. It is tested to BS EN 13501-1 Class B, which allows it to be used as a wall lining in escape routes where fire load must be minimized.
