Large Cork Boards: Sizes, Prices and How to Hang One

The short answer: our large cork boards come in ten sizes, from 23″ × 8″ up to 72″ × 48″, and cost $100 to $725. Each one is 1/2-inch natural cork on a stiff backing frame. It floats about 3/4″ off the wall on corner mounts, so push pins go all the way in. If none of the standard sizes fits your wall, we cut one down to the size you need.

The 36 × 24 Original Modern Cork Board is the single best-selling item we make. Here is how to choose a size, what the big boards cost, and what to know before you hang one.

What makes a large cork board work

Thickness. Thin cork lets a pin hit the wall behind it, so the pin wobbles and falls out. Our cork is 1/2 inch thick with a frame behind it, so a pin goes in all the way and stays put.

A board that stays flat. A big sheet of cork bends when you press a pin into it. The frame on the back keeps it stiff. When you push a pin in, press the board flat against the wall with your other hand.

More mounts on bigger boards. Most sizes hang on four corner mounts. The 48 × 24 and 35 × 30 boards use six, the 48 × 36 uses eight, and the 72-inch boards use ten. You choose black, silver, gold or white hardware.

One thing to expect. Our cork comes from a large roll, so boards 48 × 24 and larger may have a slight curve along two edges. It does not affect how the board works, but we would rather you hear it from us first.

Large cork boards for an office

In an office, a cork board holds the things people need to see without asking: schedules, floor plans, sample swatches, a team's photos. The 36 × 24 fits most office walls. For a conference room or a team area, the 48 × 36 gives everyone room.

Want the 48 × 36 size in two easier-to-carry pieces? We sell two 36 × 24 boards that mount side by side.

Many offices put a cork board next to a dry erase board, with notices on the cork and the week's schedule on the board. If that is your plan, see our custom whiteboard price guide.

Custom size cork boards

If none of the standard sizes fits, we cut a board down to your size. We start from the next standard size up, and you pay that size's price plus a $15 to $30 cutting fee. For example, a 36 × 18 board is cut from a 36 × 24 and costs the 36 × 24 price plus the cutting fee. Anything larger than 48 × 36 is cut from the 72 × 48.

Fill out the form on the custom size cork board page before you order and we will confirm the details.

One tip if you are matching a cork board to a calendar of the same size: cork can shrink a little, so the two may not line up exactly.

Covering an electrical panel or outlet

A cork board is a tidy way to hide an electrical panel. Our mounts and backing frame are both 3/4″ deep, so the cork sits 3/4″ off the wall. If your panel sticks out, we can rework the frame behind that section for $25 to $50. Start with our panel mounting page.

Designs, names and maps

The plain cork board is the bestseller, but you can also have a design printed on the cork. Options include your name or a word, a banner, dots, a geometric pattern, or a map of the USA for tracking travel. These cost $110 to $280 depending on size.

Framed or floating?

A framed cork board has a wood or metal border around the cork, and that is the classic look. Ours has no frame. The cork floats off the wall on four or more corner mounts, so the board reads as a modern piece and the cork runs edge to edge. If you want a traditional frame, a framed board is the better fit. If you want the cork to be the whole look, choose floating.

Questions we get asked

What size cork board do I need for an office?

A 36 × 24 inch cork board fits most office walls. For a conference room or a shared team wall, choose the 48 × 36. Measure the wall and leave at least a few inches clear on each side.

How much does a large cork board cost?

Our modern cork boards cost $100 for the 23 × 8 inch size up to $725 for the 72 × 48 inch size. The popular 36 × 24 is $240 and the 48 × 36 is $495.

Can you make a custom size cork board?

Yes. We cut a board down from the next standard size up. You pay that size's price plus a $15 to $30 cutting fee.

How thick is the cork?

The cork is 1/2 inch thick with a frame behind it, so push pins go in all the way without hitting the wall.

How is the cork board mounted?

It screws to the wall with corner mounts in black, silver, gold or white. Most sizes use four mounts, and the largest sizes use six to ten. The cork sits about 3/4 inch off the wall.

Can a cork board cover an electrical panel?

Yes. If the panel sticks out from the wall, we can rework the frame behind the cork for $25 to $50 so the board still hangs flat.
