Notice Boards

Cromwell offers a wide range of noticeboards to suit every need, with brands such as Offis, Qconnect, Bi Office and Legamaster.

What are Notice Boards

A notice board is a surface that is used for displaying messages. This can be used within the workplace to update employees or customers by pinning messages or announcements. They can be used at home for attaching photo's, messages etc. Or within the community to announce events or items for sale.

Why a Notice Board

A noticeboard can be re-used by pinning messages or announcements and removing, moving or replacing without damaging walls.

Types of Notice Board

• Felt - Usually found in work environments in a wide range of felt colours. Documents can be attached by using pins.
• Cork - A cost effective board that uses pins to attach messages.
• Display - Documents are protected by a lockable closing door with perspex front.
• Whiteboard - A whiteboard that uses specific whiteboard markers to leave messages that can be removed with a dry fabric cloth.
• Blackboard - A writing surface that uses chalk or a chalk pen to write messages, removable with a damp fabric cloth.
• Combination - *Usually a combination of cork notice board for pinning documents/pictures and whiteboard to write messages and wipe clean.

Considerations when choosing a Notice Board

• Size - Ensure the board is big enough to attach all the documents you want to display.
• Colour and style - The fabric colour can attract the eye to the notice board. A coloured background could also coordinate with an office decor.
• Orientation - Many of the notice boards can be hung either portrait or landscape.
• Display Location - If you wanted to display your messages outdoors or in an area where they may get damaged a display notice board could be a better option as it will keep the messages dry and safe.
