Notice boards are an ideal way to display important messages, events and correspondence. Often utilised in small communities, notice boards can offer a focal point where key information about the community is displayed safely and prominently
Most notice boards that are used externally will feature a glass cover to shield the paper contained within it. The glass sheet on the notice boards may be lockable to ensure that only authorised people can display material. Alternatively, your community may decide that anyone may have access to the notice boards and you could therefore opt for a non-locking one. Notice boards come in a wide variety of sizes, from ones that will display a few items, to large free standing notice boards that can feature large posters and multiple leaflets and flyers.
One important feature of notice boards is the durability of the wood from which they are constructed. Outside 24/7 and subject to ever-changing British weather conditions, the wood used needs to be extremely hard-wearing and sturdy. The same is true for the glazing on notice boards, which must be weather-sealed to prevent any water ingress to the notice boards. It is also a good idea to ensure the glazing is strengthened and vandal proof. Although notice boards are unlikely to be the first target of vandals, it is still worth making sure that the glass can is shatter proof and can withstand heavy impact.
Communities may wish to personalise notice boards – perhaps adding on the name of their Parish or village for example. Vinyl lettering can be added to most notice boards and hand carved lettering creates high end notice boards which are eye-catching and unique. Of course, notice boards are not used solely by communities, and local groups or businesses may utilise notice boards to display promotional literature. Restaurants commonly use notice boards to display their menus outside the restaurant for customers to view.
Harrystebbing.com creates beautiful, durable and hand-made notice boards, as well as other wood products such as village signs. All notice boards are made from extremely hard-wearing wood and the glazing is silicon treated to create a vandal proof exterior. Hand carved lettering by a master carver and solid brass fittings help to make these notice boards a cut above the rest.
