Professional Grade XPS: A high-performance Extruded Polystyrene material featuring a dense, closed-cell structure that offers superior strength and rigidity compared to standard expanded bead foams.
Precision Sculpting & Shaping: The industry-standard choice for professional model makers and architects; it can be effortlessly cut, sanded, planed, and carved without crumbling, maintaining crisp edges and fine detail.
Optimised for Hot-Wire Cutting: Its uniform, small-cell composition makes it the ideal substrate for hot-wire tools, allowing for the creation of perfectly smooth curves, complex organic forms, and exact geometric massing.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: With a density of 33kg/m3, this foam provides a robust structural foundation for large-scale site models and scenery while remaining remarkably lightweight for easy transport.
Sophisticated Aesthetic: The distinct Dark Grey colour provides a neutral, professional finish that highlights shadows and form, making it a popular choice for architectural "blue-sky" studies and modern product prototypes.
Versatile Bonding & Finishing: Easily laminated using polystyrene-safe adhesives like UHU Por or PVA to create large blocks. The surface is highly receptive to being painted or coated for realistic landscape and industrial textures.
Multidisciplinary Utility: A "blank canvas" essential for everything from war-gaming terrain and floral arrangements to 1:1 scale ergonomic product studies and lightweight film props.

Crafts & Model Making

The versatility of Styrofoam is the reason why its the number one choice of material used by model makers, war gamers, flower arrangers and crafters alike. Extruded polystyrene is well-established as a model making material and Styrofoam has quickly become the product of choice for making everything from model boats and railways to architectural models and model scenery.

Styrofoam can be cut easily with a serrated knife, hacksaw or floral knife and its closed cell structure provides it with strength and rigidity, so that even when it is cut and carved it will hold its shape. With a wide range of sheet sizes and thicknesses and the ability to easily glue pieces of Styrofoam together, it is possible to make almost any shape.

Architectural Model Making

Architectural model making demands precision, strength and versatility which is why Styrofoam is the material of choice for many professional model makers. Styrofoam is well established with architects and model makers as an ideal material for creating 3D highly detailed, architectural models. Styrofoam is recognised as the market leader thanks to its strength, uniform small cell structure and excellent surface.
