What Is PVC Foam Board?

PVC foam board sheet

PVC foam board, also known as expanded PVC or foam PVC sheet, is a lightweight, durable, and rigid plastic sheet made from polyvinyl chloride. It is widely used in industries such as advertising, interior decoration, exhibition displays, construction, furniture manufacturing, and model making.

Produced through a foaming extrusion process, it features a fine, closed-cell structure that offers excellent strength-to-weight ratio. PVC foam board is a cost-effective alternative to wood, metal, or solid plastic sheets.

PVC foam board is easy to cut, rout, drill, sand, and paint using standard tools. It is also waterproof, resistant to weather and corrosion, and provides good thermal and sound insulation. These properties make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

As a leading manufacturer of PVC foam board in China, Boardway offers a wide range of thicknesses, densities, and surface finishes to meet various industry needs.

Applications Of PVC Foam Board

Advertising and Signage

PVC foam board is widely used in advertising and exhibition due to its smooth surface, excellent ink adhesion, and outstanding formability. It enables vivid, high-resolution printing for eye-catching graphics and clear messaging. The board can be easily cut, engraved, or shaped into customized forms, making it suitable for both flat and 3D displays.
Lightweight yet rigid, it simplifies transport and setup at events. Common applications include indoor and outdoor signage, retail displays, promotional boards, exhibition booth construction, trade show stands, and 3D logos or lettering. Its weather resistance also makes it suitable for short-term outdoor use.

Cabinet and Furniture Making

Thanks to its durability, moisture resistance, and easy workability, PVC foam board is an ideal material for cabinetry and furniture making. It serves as a lightweight yet strong alternative to wood-based panels, without risks of warping or termite damage.
The board can be cut, drilled, nailed, or laminated with decorative surfaces to match custom styles. It is commonly used in kitchen cabinets, wardrobe back panels, bathroom vanities, drawer bases, and partition panels. Its clean surface also allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, making it popular in both residential and commercial furniture applications.

Interior Decoration

PVC foam board offers an aesthetically pleasing and functional solution for modern interior decoration. With options for smooth, embossed, or laminated surfaces, it can replicate the look of wood, stone, or textured finishes while remaining lightweight and water-resistant.
It is often used for wall cladding, ceiling panels, room dividers, decorative columns, and even customized shelving or moldings. The material is easy to cut and install, helping designers meet specific aesthetic goals while reducing installation time. Ideal for homes, hotels, offices, and retail interiors, PVC foam board provides both visual appeal and long-term durability.

Construction and Building

In the construction sector, PVC foam board is valued for its strength, moisture resistance, and versatility. It serves as an effective alternative to plywood and MDF in non-structural applications, particularly in humid environments where wood may fail.
The board can be nailed or screwed into frameworks, and is resistant to rot, insects, and mold. Applications include wall backing panels, window sills, decorative paneling, ceiling boards, and temporary partitions. Its smooth surface also allows for easy painting or lamination. With excellent workability and reduced maintenance, PVC foam board is a practical solution for both new construction and interior renovation projects.

The board is typically installed as wall panels, ceiling boards, flooring underlays, and partition walls. It can be cut and shaped to fit specific vehicle dimensions and is compatible with decorative laminates or anti-slip mats. Its flame retardant, moisture-proof, and corrosion-resistant properties make it a safe and reliable material for commercial and public transport interiors.
