Lightweight Foam Boards Market Definition
Lightweight Foam board is a strong and lightweight material that is easily cut with a sharp craft knife or picture framing mat cutter. Foam board is easily formed into shapes that can be used for interior design and architectural models, and indoor and outdoor applications. Foam board usually consists of three layers, an inner layer of polystyrene or polyurethane foam that is clad with an outer facing on each side of either a white clay coated paper, cotton archival paper or common brown Kraft paper. Innovative graphic display board’s lightweight offers savings in both system installation and labor costs as well as reduced freight charges to ship large displays.
