How Much Does a Cork Board Cost? Factors That Affect Pricing

Cork boards are pretty great: a simple tool that's incredibly useful for pinning notes and memos, organising information or hang up photos. Even as pieces of decoration, they look elegant.

For everyone who gets one, it always ends up becoming an important part of the daily routine and almost like an old friend, whether they use it for organising their daily tasks, for displaying their child’s artwork or photos with family and friends, as a tool for teaching in classrooms, or in a million other ways.

This article is about some simple questions you may have before you buy one. Questions like: how much is a cork board? Do they all cost the same? What are the differences?

Let’s get to it.

What will you use your cork board for?

One of the first decisions to make, and one of the most significant in terms of cost, is size. Are you looking for something modest and practical to pin reminders and photos, or is it for a classroom? 

Or maybe you are interested in covering your walls with cork (which has the added benefit of providing excellent sound and thermal insulation)?

Secondly, what do you like in terms of look and which type of cork do you prefer? You’re sure to find something that fits your style.

How much does a cork board cost?

That will very much depend: you’ll find in our catalogue price ranges starting from £15.99, but that’s just a point of reference on one end of the spectrum. Prices vary, depending on a few factors.

One of the most important variables to choose is size. This will, of course, depend on the space where you’ll put the cork board and on its intended use.

For example, our Small Natural Cork Notice Board (£15.99) has a versatile size of 45x30cm, which is modest but very practical for many uses. If you prefer something bigger, the Large Natural Cork Notice Board (£26.99) is similar, but with 60x45cm or for an even larger, the Extra Large Natural Cork Notice Board (£59.99) in size 90x60cm. In all three cases, the cork is nicely robust and thick.

Of course, you may want something even bigger. Our biggest Cork Roll For Wall, for example, is 10x1.22m and costs £364.99. Another option is to use Cork Notice Board Wall Tiles, which come in several sizes, but the biggest ones are 90x60cm and cost £59.95. With these, you can cover an area up to any size.

Additionally, cork is not all the same, and there’s more than just the quantity to account for differences in price.

The quality and thickness of cork boards also make a difference

The second factor, then, is the quality and the type of cork, as well as its thickness. This mainly affects the durability and the look of your board.

As an example, compare the look of the Twist Cork Notice & Memo Board (£52.99) with the Dark Cork Notice & Memo Board (£44.99). A popular option with an unconventional shape is the Hexagon Cork Notice Board (£29.99), while the World Map Cork Notice Board (£15.99) presents a different visual design. There’s something for every taste.

Some cork boards aren’t completely made of cork. When it comes to frames, the possibilities are many, in material – usually, wood, plastic, or metal – or in design – basic, decorative, and custom frames. All our boards, however, are frameless, as frames tend not only to raise the price, but also to rob a bit of surface space – also, in our opinion, it’s hard to beat the simple elegance of the frameless board!

Conclusion

Cork notice boards are not all the same – they’re not only wonderfully versatile, but also varied. There’s something for every need, which means that there’s also a wide price range. So, the answer to the straightforward question “how much does a cork board cost?” is not so simple.
