Small Business

Typically, small businesses don't need as large sheets as industrial or commercial uses (as mentioned in the below section). 22 x 28 inches is very common to work with and is a great general size to use for storefronts. It IS on the smaller side, so another popular size on the "larger" end for small businesses is 24'x36' or 2"x3". There are sizes available in between, and we can do custom work for you based on your needs, whether it's various/different sizes or artwork.

Industrial/Commercial
The most common large, industrial sheets typically come in the following sizes:

The common large sheets come in four Imperial sizes of 8' x 4', 60" x 40", 48" x 36" and 40"x 32".

The metric equivalent of these is 2440 x 1220mm, 1524 x 1015mm, 1220 x 915mm and 1015 x 813mm

The thicknesses that color pvc foam board is commonly available in Australia are 3mm, 5mm, 10mm, and 20mm.

The 3mm, 5mm, and 10mm board is available in either a black or white color and as either plain or adhesive coated.

Model Making
Architectural students often use color pvc foam board for crafting and presenting their models. These models often include buildings and various structures that can, luckily, be made easily with the foam board.

Painting on Foamboard
However, as there are different types of color pvc foam board, students often use the one that has a fine balance between rigidity and softness. As many models are made in a tiny size, it’s ideal that your foam board isn’t that thick.

On the other side, a thicker color pvc foam board often lets you make 3D models that pack a much bigger size and lots of details. And if you're really into foam board, you can even make a stand for a certain model in much bigger size

Mounting
In most cases, a color pvc foam board is used for mounting. How many times have you seen a certain painting or artwork mounted on a piece of foam board? It’s not a coincidence – foam boards are great for this purpose.

In this case, you may want to buy a self-adhesive color pvc foam board that lets you stick your artwork without using additional adhesive agents. Thanks to its rigid and durable sheets of paper outside, a foam board can hold your paintings pretty firmly.

Since it can be cut easily, you can customize the size of the board according to your artwork size. This will result in a professional presentation of your artwork.

Lighting
How can a color pvc foam board be used for lighting? As it can’t be a definitive source of lighting, it can be a great tool for creating backdrops. You can tailor it the way you want- either create a lighter or a darker backdrop to adjust the lighting for your photography needs. With a color pvc foam board, you can make different lighting effects which is excellent for photography.

Durability
How durable are color pvc foam board? The answer to this question is simple – very durable. Thanks to thick layers of papers on the outside and an even thicker layer of foam inside, the color pvc foam board is easy to handle, yet hard to damage. Having in mind that an additional layer of coating is applied to each color pvc foam board, it gains even more durability and sturdiness.

Still, this product has its downsides when it comes to durability. One weak point of a color pvc foam board is its inability to cope with the wet areas.

Water and other forms of liquids can damage the color pvc foam board as it’s made of paper. As we know, paper and water don’t go well with each other.
