Architectural Foam in San Jose, CA
What Is Architectural Foam?
Architectural foam is a lightweight building material that is molded into decorative shapes. It is made from expanded polystyrene and is a versatile, cost-effective alternative to using concrete for cornices, columns, and decorative trim. It is much easier and safer to install than heavier decorative elements, which allows us to achieve much more complex designs and custom applications.
About Our Quality Architectural Foam Products
Our environmentally safe foam is made of the highest-quality raw materials. As a closed-cell plastic foam, it is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms, derived from natural gas byproducts and petroleum. Inherently lightweight and rot- and temperature-resistant, our shapes are very durable and have a proven track record for performance.
Our EPS shapes have a Class A Flame Spread rating, making them able to withstand fire for longer than any of the other classifications. They are also able to withstand the rigors of temperature cycling, or “freeze-thaw,” without any loss of structural integrity. Additionally, we’re staying
environmentally-conscious, recycling as much of the material from the manufacturing process as possible.
