WHAT MATERIALS MAKE UP THE FORBO BULLETIN BOARD?
It’s made from 91% natural ingredients, such as linseed oil, rosin, natural cork, and jute. Additionally, 87% of the raw materials come from renewable sources. Forbo is free from PVC, PET, and plasticizers.
WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE PINBOARD?
The Forbo bulletin board is available in rolls measuring 6 mm × 122 cm × 27 m. This size allows you to cover larger areas with minimal seams.
HOW MUCH DOES ONE ROLL WEIGH?
Each roll weighs approximately 160 kg.
CAN THE FORBO BULLETIN BOARD BE CUT?
Yes, the board can be easily cut with tools like circular saws, band saws, reciprocating saws, jigsaws, metal saws, or hand saws.
Here are two important tips when cutting:
- Use sharp blades to ensure clean cuts.
- Make sure the material is securely held down to prevent shifting and uneven edges.
If this is your first time cutting this material, test the tool on a small section first.
WHAT ADHESIVE SHOULD I USE FOR INSTALLATION?
Use Wakol D-3540 dispersion adhesive or any standard carpet adhesive.
HOW DO I INSTALL THE FORBO BULLETIN BOARD ON A WALL?
- Prepare the surface – Ensure the wall is clean, smooth, and dry. Repair any damages, fill in any holes, and sand the surface. Clean away dust and any old adhesive residues to ensure a solid bond.
- Acclimate the Forbo material – Lay it flat for 24 hours in a room with a temperature above 20°C before installing. Trim the factory edges and leave a small margin at the bottom for overlap. Mark a starting line on the wall to guide your installation.
- Apply adhesive and position the material – Start from the top and use a roller to press the material into place, ensuring there are no air bubbles and that it adheres securely. Wipe away any excess adhesive immediately with a damp cloth.
- Join the material carefully – Make sure the material aligns properly and leave a 1.2 cm overlap between sheets. Press the overlap down firmly with the roller to ensure it sticks properly.
WHAT DO I DO AFTER INSTALLATION?
Once installed, the bulletin board is ready for use. If you notice any adhesive residue, remove it immediately with a damp cloth. Acting quickly is key since fresh adhesive is much easier to clean.
DO PIN HOLES REMAIN ON THE SURFACE?
No, the pinholes heal naturally. The material “self-repairs” the punctured areas, and the regeneration time depends on how long the pins were in place. The surface does not crack, peel, or crumble.
HOW IS THE FORBO PINBOARD SHIPPED?
We ship the product on a pallet.
If necessary, we can cut the roll to specific dimensions (additional fees apply). We also offer custom UV printing upon request. Feel free to contact us through the form!
HOW DO I CLEAN THE FORBO BOARD?
For best results, use a damp cloth or a mild detergent. For deeper cleaning, use a neutral detergent with a pH between 6 and 8 (just a small amount). Rinse the surface with clean water afterward.
Avoid harsh cleaners and abrasive cloths, as they can damage the surface.
HOW SHOULD I STORE FORBO?
Store the roll vertically with the "core facing up" to prevent pressure marks. Lay sheets flat, avoiding point pressure. Avoid placing heavy objects on the surface as they could cause permanent indentations.
Keep the material in a dry room, away from moisture and significant temperature changes.
CAN I WRITE ON FORBO WITH A MARKER?
No, the board is not designed for writing. It’s made for pinning notes and information.
Plastic and felt boards lose their functionality quickly. Damaged surfaces hinder the free exchange of ideas, reduce creativity, and make information get lost in the clutter. Forbo bulletin boards end the mess – durable, natural, and plastic-free.
#1 NATURAL INGREDIENTS = TANGIBLE BENEFITS
Parents are asking about the materials used in classrooms, and clients and employees are paying attention to companies' environmental practices. Forbo is made of 91% natural ingredients, such as linseed oil, rosin, natural cork, and jute. Of these, 87% are renewable, and 43% are recycled materials.
A school investing in healthy, eco-friendly materials gains the trust of parents. A company showing environmental care builds stronger customer relationships.
#2 MAXIMUM FUNCTIONALITY
Important information has its own dedicated spot, and teachers gain a tool that simplifies their daily tasks. In offices, the board becomes the focal point of team meetings – pinning ideas, schedules, and plans to keep everything within easy reach.
With Forbo, you turn doors, cabinets, or office partitions into practical surfaces for pinning notes. Every available space enhances organization – be it a schedule on the door or a task list on partitions.
#3 SAY GOODBYE TO HIDDEN COSTS
A school or business budget is not limitless. The Forbo bulletin board offers a solution that combines durability with cost-effectiveness, eliminating the need for frequent repairs and replacements. Instead of buying new boards each year, you make a one-time investment in a high-quality Forbo board that lasts for years.
Cheap options – such as plastic boards – may seem economical at first, but they accumulate costs in the long run. The Forbo bulletin board solves this problem, providing peace of mind for years once installed. The material is durable and resistant to cleaning and stains.
#4 A SAFE AND CLEAN SPACE FOR NOTES
The absence of PVC, PET, or plasticizers is a true benefit for health. In schools, where children spend most of their day, this is especially important. Imagine a classroom full of children – everyone is breathing in the materials in the environment. With the Forbo bulletin board, parents can feel reassured, and teachers can be confident the space is safe. In offices or meeting rooms, where clear thinking is essential for decision-making, a healthy environment enhances productivity and well-being.
Thanks to its bacteriostatic properties, it prevents the growth of microorganisms in classrooms, meeting rooms, and shared spaces. The Forbo board helps maintain hygiene in areas frequently visited by many people every day.
