4mm Correx — the industry standard for estate agent boards. Lightweight but rigid. Weatherproof. Easy to fix with cable ties, screws, nails, or wire. Built to handle months of outdoor use without warping, fading, or deteriorating. Not all Correx is equal — ours is 4mm for the right balance of strength and practicality.
Single and double-sided printing. Single-sided boards are ideal for roadside and garden displays where the board faces one direction. Double-sided boards maximise visibility from both sides of the road — popular in busier locations or on corner plots.

Why Correx Is the Right Material for Estate Agent Boards
Correx has been the material of choice for estate agent boards for decades — and for good reason. It’s lightweight enough for one person to carry, cut, and install without tools, but rigid enough to hold its shape outdoors for months. It’s waterproof, frost-resistant, and UV-stable, meaning your boards stay looking professional regardless of the weather.
At 4mm thickness, our Correx boards hit the right balance between durability and cost. Thinner boards (3mm) are prone to bending in wind. Thicker boards (5mm or 6mm) are heavier and more expensive to ship. 4mm is the industry standard for good reason — it’s what the major national estate agency chains use, and it’s what we recommend.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size are standard estate agent boards?
The UK industry standard for estate agent boards is 813mm x 610mm (approximately 32″ x 24″). This is the size used by the major national chains and most independent agencies. It fits standard wire H-frames and metal post systems. We can also print custom sizes if you need something different — contact us to discuss.
Do you supply the frames or posts?
We supply the printed Correx boards. Standard wire H-frames and metal post systems are available from specialist estate agency supplies companies such as The Board Company and Estate Agent Supplies — they are not a product we stock. Our boards are fully compatible with all standard estate agent frame systems.
What’s the difference between single-sided and double-sided boards?
A single-sided board is printed on one face only — suitable for positions where the board is viewed primarily from one direction, such as a garden fence or a gatepost facing the road. A double-sided board is printed on both faces, giving visibility from both directions — ideal for corner plots, end-of-terrace positions, or any location with passing traffic from multiple directions. Double-sided boards cost a little more but significantly increase your exposure per board.
Can I get boards printed in a custom size?
Yes. While 813mm x 610mm is our standard size, we can print Correx boards in any custom size you require. Just contact us with your dimensions and we’ll provide a quote. Custom sizes are popular with agencies that use non-standard frame systems or need oversized boards for commercial property.
How long do Correx estate agent boards last?
With normal use outdoors, a well-maintained 4mm Correx board will typically last 12 months or more before the material starts to show significant wear. UV-stable inks mean the print remains vibrant throughout. Boards left in direct sunlight for extended periods or in coastal salt air environments may show wear sooner. Most estate agencies replace their boards seasonally or as standard practice rather than waiting for wear.
Do you offer bulk discounts?
Yes — the unit cost reduces significantly with volume. If you’re ordering 50 boards or more, contact us directly on 01708 200166 or email info@essexbanners.com for a bulk quote. We regularly supply agencies ordering 100, 200, and 500+ boards.
Can you match our existing board design?
Yes. If you have an existing board design that you want to replicate or refresh, send us the existing artwork (or even a photograph of a board) and our design team will recreate it for you at no extra cost. We’ll send a proof for your approval before printing.
Do you deliver to multiple branches?
Yes — we can split a single order across multiple delivery addresses. Just let us know the breakdown when you place your order and we’ll arrange delivery to each branch individually. White label delivery is available for trade and agency network orders.
