Frequently Asked Questions
Can this foam PVC sheet be used outdoors?
Yes, the sheet can be used for short to medium term outdoor applications, particularly for signage and displays. As with most foam PVC products, long-term performance outdoors will depend on exposure conditions, and using suitable protective coatings or films can help extend service life.
How can I cut and shape the foam PVC sheet?
The sheet can be worked using standard tools such as fine-toothed saws, routers and sharp knives for thinner gauges. It is also suitable for drilling and routing, allowing you to create cut-outs, profiles and fixing holes to suit your installation.
Is the traffic red colour suitable as a base for printed graphics and vinyl?
Yes, the smooth traffic red surface accepts a range of self-adhesive vinyls and is suitable as a base colour for many printed and applied graphics. The bright red finish is particularly effective for safety and promotional messages where strong background colour is required.
