The
sign industry uses foam to manufacture letters and numerals that are
easily cut and coated with paint to
manufacture durable indoor and outdoor
signs.
Foam used in the sign industry is seen
everywhere. It can be manufactured to produce any size of display.
In the architecture field,
Insul-Board
forms foam to the builder's exact specifications. Builders have
used the product to form impressive facades, pillars, window sills, door
frames, balusters and curved walls. Though it has many decorative
uses, the foam also is a v ery valuable tool as a filler at many
construction sites. It is commonly used as a core in concrete bridge
beams.
Foam particles are used as masonry fill in concrete foundation
blocks. Made of expanded polystyrene, the foam sheaths are often
used as base insulation layers for walls, roofs and foundations.
The solid panels also are used as cores in door construction.
Foam also has many uses in boating.
We have made flotation devices and floating docks that are used all over
the country. Insul-Board's foam has
been used to manufacture boat cradles (foam storage units that cradle
boats when they are out of the water during winter). This eliminates
the need for storing boats on wood or concrete blocks.
