PVC Foam Board

PVC foam board is the workhorse substrate of the signage trade. Made from expanded closed cell polyvinyl chloride, it gives you a rigid, dimensionally stable sheet that weighs a fraction of plywood or MDF and does not care about moisture.

Why fabricators keep coming back to it:

– Genuinely waterproof: the closed cell structure will not absorb water, swell, delaminate or rot, so it holds up in bathrooms, kitchens, coastal sites and monsoon exposure

– Termite proof and borer proof, unlike any wood based board

– Smooth matt surface that takes direct UV printing, vinyl wrap, screen printing and paint without priming

– Works with ordinary tools: it saws, routes, drills, screws and thermoforms cleanly on standard woodworking machinery and CNC routers

– Inherently self extinguishing, a useful property for interior fitouts and exhibition builds

– Light enough to hang on light framing and to ship economically across long distances

Typical trade sizes run 2440 x 1220mm, the standard 8ft x 4ft sheet, in thicknesses from about 5mm through 20mm. Density is normally between 0.45 and 0.60 g per cubic centimetre: the lighter end is easier to handle and cheaper for indoor work, while the denser end holds screws better and stays flatter on large outdoor faces.

Common uses are printed signage and hoardings, digital print mounting, exhibition and retail displays, interior partitions, modular furniture carcasses and decorative wall cladding.
