Frequently Asked Questions
Can this foam PVC sheet be used outdoors?
The sheet is suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor applications, such as covered signs and displays. For permanently exposed external use, especially in harsh weather or strong UV, additional protection or alternative materials may be advisable depending on the required service life.
How can I cut and fabricate the foam PVC sheet?
The foam PVC sheet can be cut, routed and drilled using standard woodworking or plastic-working tools, such as circular saws, jigsaws and routers with sharp blades. It can also be bonded with suitable PVC-compatible adhesives and fitted with mechanical fixings where required.
Is the material suitable for printing and vinyl graphics?
Yes, the smooth, low-gloss surface is ideal for direct printing using appropriate printing technologies and for the application of self-adhesive vinyl graphics. Surfaces should be clean, dry and free from dust or grease before printing or laminating.
