Choosing a Notice Board Surface That Still Looks Good In Year Three
Notice boards are judged on how they look after years of pins going in and out. The surface, not the frame, decides that.
Bare Cork
Cork paper takes pins easily and looks warm, which is why it is the home and small office choice in a wooden frame. Over years of pinning in the same spots it does show wear.
Fabric Over Cork
Fabric stretched over cork paper closes around pin holes far better than bare cork, so an office notice wall still looks maintained years later. It also lets the board match an interior scheme.
Free Standing Display
Where the notice board also has to divide a space, a tackboard partition on an aluminium alloy stand carries cloth or cork paper on both faces and needs no fixing at all.
Pin Or Magnet
Notice boards are pinning surfaces and are not magnetic. Where the display changes daily and includes printed sheets, a magnetic writing steel board is often the better answer.
