Architectural Foam Adds Inexpensive
Style
You have seen the beautiful homes that
captivate your attention as you drive
through million dollar additions and the
estates that dot oceanfronts with their
huge columns and architectural moldings
around windows. The massive amount of
stone and concrete that goes into these
structures is just mind-boggling. You
think of how a touch of this elegance
could dress up your own home and now it
can with architectural foam that looks
so real you have to touch it to make
sure.
What
is Architectural Foam?
Architectural foam is made from expanded
polystyrene (EPS) or molded urethane. You
have seen the peanuts that are used in
packing shipping items; EPS uses the same
concept only on a larger and more stable
scale. Once treated with high-density
coatings, foam columns or windowsills will
hold up to the worst of storms just as stone
or concrete molds. EPS is also a great
insulator for your home that can lend an R-4
factor around windows and interior trim
along ceilings and walls. A tough coating
will guarantee years of wear.
How do
you install Architectural Foam?
Installation of architectural foam is much
easier than stone. There is no need for
large crews, heavy equipment or running the
risk of chipped pieces being delivered.
Lightweight and available in hundreds of
different shapes and forms, pieces are
simple to maneuver and cuts labor costs in
half. If your foam column or molding does
happen to be damaged through shipping, most
companies can have a new one delivered in a
matter of days, not weeks or months like
stone columns.
Make
your Real Estate Dazzle
The aesthetic effect that expanded
polystyrene forms can have on your property
will increase the value and make it more
noticeable to potential buyers because of
that extra architectural detail that you
have spent the time and money to create.
People look for creative beauty and
something that will set their property apart
from the rest. Architectural foam is
wonderful for making this happen with bases,
arches, moldings, columns, capitals, wall
caps, window sills, brackets, balusters and
louvers that can be painted to match any
interior or exterior. There are even chair
rails and fireplace enclosures molded to
take on the look of wood.
