Product Overview: The High-Visibility Safety Standard
The Cobolt Red Fire Resistant Noticeboard is the safety officer's essential tool. In an emergency, notices need to be seen instantly. This board uses Signal Red to draw the eye, making it the definitive choice for displaying Fire Marshals lists, Evacuation Maps, and Mandatory Safety Warnings in corridors where standard boards are prohibited.
Certified Fire Safety
- Class B Certification: Tested to BS EN 13501-1 (Class B), this board meets the strict criteria required for wall linings in circulation spaces and escape routes. It allows you to place critical safety information exactly where it is needed—in the exit route itself.
- Fire Retardant Materials: Both the red fabric covering and the dense core board are treated to be flame retardant. They are engineered to self-extinguish and prevent rapid flame spread during an incident.
- Legal Compliance: Using non-rated boards in corridors can void insurance and fail fire inspections. This Class B unit ensures your facility remains fully compliant with UK building regulations.
Modular Frameless Design
- Seamless Joining: The lack of a bulky aluminium frame means the red felt wraps completely around the edges. You can mount boards side-by-side to create a continuous red strip along a wall to highlight a specific zone.
- Edge-to-Edge Display: Every millimetre of the 900x600mm surface is usable. There is no frame lip to obstruct text on the edges of posters.
- Versatile Mounting: The board can be mounted in either Portrait (vertical) or Landscape (horizontal) orientation to fit next to fire doors or on narrow structural pillars.
The Cobolt Standard
- Free UK Mainland Delivery: We ship these essential safety items directly to your site at no extra cost, helping you maintain your compliance budget.
- UK Manufactured: Produced in the UK to ensure consistent adherence to British Safety Standards and high-quality fabric finish.
- Secure Installation: Supplied with a screw fixing kit that anchors the board firmly to the wall, preventing accidental removal or tampering.
Where is this Red Fire Resistant Board specified?
The 900mm x 600mm Red Fire Resistant Board is the standard for critical communication. It is heavily utilised in:
- Fire Exits & Stairwells: Holding "Fire Action" notices and evacuation floor plans in the most visible location.
- Industrial Sites: Marking out specific hazard zones or "permit to work" stations.
- Student Unions: High-impact notice areas for urgent announcements or elections.
- Public Buildings: Designating specific "Staff Only" or restricted access information points.
Key Features
- Compact Dimensions – 900mm x 600mm size fits perfectly on pillars or next to doorways.
- Fire Rated Class B – Complies with BS EN 13501-1 for safe use in escape routes.
- Frameless Design – Wrapped felt edges allow for modular, seamless banking of multiple boards.
- Signal Red Felt – High-visibility colour associated with warnings and importance.
- Pin & Staple Friendly – Dense core accepts pins securely and can also be stapled for tamper-resistant displays.
- Secure Through-Fixing – Mounts directly through the board for a flush fit.
- Portrait or Landscape – Flexible orientation to suit your available wall space.
- Sound Absorbing – The dense felt construction helps dampen noise in echoing stairwells.
Cobolt Service & Ethos: Direct from the Experts
- Free UK Mainland Delivery: We cover the shipping costs on all safety noticeboards, ensuring you have a simple, fixed price for your departmental budget.
- 50 Years of Heritage: We are a trusted knowledge base for the industry, supporting UK safety sectors, universities, and councils with reliable display equipment for half a century.
- Dedicated Account Management: We offer personalised support for Purchase Orders and bulk procurement, ensuring you get the right equipment for campus-wide rollouts.
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 is superior to standard boards which may only have a treated fabric surface but a flammable core.
- Vandal Resistance: The bonded felt surface is difficult to peel or tear. The board is mounted directly to the wall with screws (usually hidden by the felt nap or supplied caps), making it harder to remove than hang-on boards.
- Acoustic Benefits: In busy corridors, these boards act as sound absorbers, reducing echo and lowering overall noise levels in open-plan offices.
- Long-Life Surface: The high-quality felt is "self-healing," meaning pinholes close up after removal, keeping the board looking smart even after years of notice changes.
- We offer a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee covering the board construction and fire rating integrity.
The 900mm x 600mm Red Fire Resistant Noticeboard is the compliant choice for public buildings. These specifications detail the safety ratings and dimensions for your fire risk assessment.
Please note: Always check your building's specific Fire Risk Assessment requirements before purchase. Class B is generally accepted for corridors, but local regulations may vary.

Expert Advice for Safety Compliance
Q: Is this noticeboard suitable for fire exit routes?
A: Yes, it is designed for escape routes. It is tested to BS EN 13501-1 Class B, which is the standard required for wall linings in circulation spaces, stairwells, and corridors in public buildings.
Q: Can I mount this board portrait or landscape?
A: Yes, it can be mounted in either orientation. The unframed, through-fix design allows you to rotate the board to 600x900mm or 900x600mm to suit the available wall space.
Q: How does the unframed design work?
A: The red felt wraps around the edges to the back. This allows you to butt multiple boards tightly together to create a continuous red "hazard zone" display without frames breaking up the colour block.
Q: Do I need special fixings to install it?
A: No, a standard wall fixing kit is included. This provides the screws and plugs needed to mount the board securely to a standard masonry or plasterboard wall.
Q: Can I use staples as well as pins?
A: Yes, the core is suitable for both pins and staples. Staples are often preferred for permanent safety signage as they are more difficult for vandals to remove than pins.
Q: Is the core fire rated or just the fabric?
A: The entire composite unit is fire rated. The board achieves its Class B rating because both the core substrate and the felt covering are chemically treated and tested together as a complete unit.
Q: What is the exact size in feet?
A: It is approximately 3ft x 2ft. The precise metric dimensions are 900mm x 600mm, which is a standard size for compact wall displays.
Q: Why choose the Red version?
A: Red is the universal colour for "Danger" or "Action." It immediately grabs attention, making it the safest choice for displaying emergency protocols, fire evacuation maps, or prohibition notices.
