About Display Boards

Display boards are a functional display system, which can be utilised throughout any school, college or university. With a wide selection of display options, there’s a design that will suit any education setting regardless of the use.

Type of Display Panels

Folding Display Boards

The Folding Display Boards range from tabletop to freestanding and all feature the easy folding function. Assembly is quicker than ever, all that’s required for full assembly is the unfolding of the boards and placing in the suitable shape and position.

Pole & Panel Modular Display Boards

Panel & Pole Display Boards offer more versatility than the folding display board, as the configurations are endless.

A modular design means you’re able to choose a starting display board kit, but you’ll always have the option to add display panels and enhance what you currently have. By connecting further display panels and poles, the width and shape of the display can be transformed.

Furthermore, the display panels can be displayed landscape or portrait to accommodate different posters and image sizes.

Portable Display Panels

Whilst the folding and modular display boards are portable in the sense they are easy to carry and move, the portable display panels have fitted wheels. No lifting is required, the display panels smoothly fold together and the entire unit can be wheeled to it’s next location.

Similarly to the alternate display board styles, the Portable Display Panels feature the loop nylon fabric for easy attachment of posters, paper and printed medias.

How can Display Boards be used in a classroom or educational environment?

Educational Tool

A display board can be used as a teaching tool, which is one of its most significant applications. By introducing a new element to the classroom, it’s possible to support various learning preferences and draw more attention from the class.

School display boards can also be utilised for discussion and class involvement in addition to serving as a display tool. Allow the children to participate by making words, solving puzzles, or solving math problems while moving the printed posters and/or cards around the loop nylon fabric.

The loop nylon fabric is compatible with self-adhesive hook tape which can easily be pulled away from the board and reattached.

Creating display

The most obvious choice for a display board is to create a display. The type of display will depend on the chosen use, but here are a few suggestions on how to maximise your display options.

Create a lesson based display.
Showcase children’s artwork or painting.
Use during parents evening.
Display open day information.
Displaying Course/school work.
Welcome information at reception.

Coursework and higher education homework for art or creative lessons may require a more robust display solution. Modular display options are the ideal choice when it comes to hanging and displaying bigger pieces of work or framed artwork/images.

Normally, any attachments will fit directly onto the loop nylon fabric surface, however this isn’t the case for heavier, framed work. To withstand the weight, an additional fixing is used to hook over the side of the frame and provide a strong anchor point.

Why do schools find Display Boards useful?

Display Boards are versatile, no matter the design.

The ability to be able to move from classroom to office, office to hallway and hallway to reception is important. The structure of the available display boards ensures all panels can be moved with ease and set up again, requiring only one person.

You'll find that certain display panels may be suited to different schools and age groups based on the use and the types of material being displayed.

Decorative and Informative
