Get noticed – with stylish boards that are environmentally friendly

One of the UK’s leading UK notice board manufacturers is Greenbarnes. They have an innovative yet traditional approach to delivering quality noticeboards, signage and street furniture. In 1990 they became the first company to revive the manufacture of wooden village boards, establishing themselves as a pioneer in transforming the industry into what it is today.

Catering to an ever-expanding market, the company offers a wide range of boards, both standard designs and custom-built. All are available to order at www.greenbarnes.co.uk. The site is interactive, allowing visitors to choose from a range of features available to select digitally and add to baskets or wishlists.

Company director Lyn Boardman explained: “Here at Greenbarnes we recognise the importance of longevity, hence all our products are built to last. We have consistently taken a traditional approach concerning manufacturing and continue to ensure the business operates by these values.

“All our boards are manufactured in the UK, ensuring higher quality products that are tailored to each customer – giving a personal touch to the customer journey.

“The materials used for each board are chosen with careful consideration. We work with esteemed materials suppliers such as Tricoya to ensure unmatched quality.”

The company’s range includes:

• Oak notice boards, made with European oak to ensure a smoother finish. This oak is often used in fine furniture making and provides a noticeably high-quality look. It is also more sustainable than, say, English oak as it creates less waste.
• Man-made timber notice boards, which come free of common problems that are typically associated with timber boards and are low maintenance. Made from recycled plastic of the highest quality, man-made timber has a traditional appearance.
• Aluminium notice boards that are made to thrive in both prestigious and challenging locations, maintaining a stainless, brushed, flawless finish. The standard display panel is also magnetic and has weatherproof features. Aluminium boards are available in many sub-categories that differ in features required for the specific needs of each consumer.
• Internal notice boards that are a long-lasting and budget friendly solution for public buildings, offices or schools. The hand-crafted designs can blend into any aesthetic. Each board has features like lockable doors, shatterproof glazing and magnetic materials.
• Honours boards that are of the highest quality, with lettering badges, crests and coats of arms applied with computer-cut vinyl and frequently made from oak.

The boards offer a fusion of traditionalism and intelligent design, marrying over 30 years of hand-crafted experience with the best of traditional and modern materials.

Lyn Boardman continued: “Longevity cannot exist without quality, and we consider all possible concerns that can affect the durability of our merchandise. All Greenbarnes boards have built-in weatherproof filters such as seals and ventilation to minimise condensation – remaining mindful of Britain’s climate. Tricoya wood is used on all oak boards for back panels: this reputable brand has moisture-resistant qualities, perfect for withstanding wet weather.

“In recent years many businesses across all sectors have become more environmentally aware. Sustainability is one of the key components of our company values. An example of our commitment is that all oak used comes from a European FSC-certified source. That means sourcing timber from responsibly managed forests and utilising a range of recycled materials for countless products, successfully meeting the product and service needs and beliefs of customers who appreciate environmentally conscious practices.”

All Greenbarnes’ products are hand-crafted in their production unit. Within that context, the brand delivers a creative use of modern materials available in a variety of sizes, styles and finishes calculated to cater to the needs of churches and places of worship.

The boards are traditional in look and feel, but with none of the traditional problems due to product quality and carefully considered features. To discover the complete range of products for churches visit www.greenbarnes.co.uk/products-for-churches-gallery/.

Greenbarnes products are budget friendly: The products come in various prices to inclusively fit the budgets of customers while maintaining excellent value for money, with prices starting as low as £76.

They are weatherproof and durable: The boards are hand-made by skilled cabinet makers and are assembled and finished to order. Their durability can be attributed to weather protection features, such as polycarbonate glazing that is anti-UV coated on the interior and exterior, while glazed boards contain integral ventilation to reduce condensation. A microporous stain finish is applied to European oak boards, meaning they require less frequent maintenance.

They are secure: Features such as robust locks and easy-grip keys, stainless-steel piano hinges made from stainless steel and secure anti-shatter glazing are included – and they come with a five-year warranty. Greenbarnes also supply a collection of outdoor furniture, crafted from recycled plastic made to withstand the elements.

Lyn Boardman concluded: “The collection includes benches, planters and picnic tables. Due to the high quality of the materials used these items do not require any varnish or staining. We supply bespoke and customisable products that can be used to elevate public spaces or celebrate an event.”
