Features
  • High-Density XPS Formula: A premium Extruded Polystyrene material with a density of approximately 52kg/m, offering significantly greater structural rigidity and a finer cell structure than standard economy foams.
  • Professional Sculpting & Shaping: The industry-standard choice for architects and product designers; its dense composition allows it to be sanded, planed, and carved with extreme precision without crumbling or tearing.
  • Optimised for Hot-Wire Fabrication: The uniform internal structure makes it the premier substrate for hot-wire cutting, enabling the creation of glass-smooth curves and exacting geometric massing for professional prototypes.
  • Superior Surface Detail: Its exceptionally small cell structure provides a smooth, non-porous surface that holds sharp edges and fine engraved details, making it ideal for highly detailed 3D architectural models.
  • Robust & Lightweight: Despite its strength and "market leader" rigidity, it remains remarkably lightweight, perfect for large-scale site models, terrain bases for wargaming, and ergonomic product studies.
  • Ease of Assembly: Can be easily laminated to create large volumetric blocks using solvent-free adhesives like PVA or UHU Por. Once assembled, it can be painted with water-based acrylics to achieve a professional finish.
  • Multi-Disciplinary Utility: A versatile essential for everything from theatrical scenery and floral art to model railway foundations and industrial design mock-ups.

Description

Popular with model makers, architects and product designers

Styrofoam is a versatile XPS (Extruded Polystyrene) material, ideal for a wide range of applications, from model making, scenery and floral art to product design and prototypes.

  • Strong yet lightweight material which can be cut, sanded, planed, glues and painted to create striking models, creative craft projects or professional product prototypes. Can be glued with UHU or PVA.
  • The ideal material for hot-wire cutting to the desired size and shape
  • Colour: Light Blue
  • Size: See options
  • Thickness: See options
  • Density: approx. 52 kg/m

Crafts & Model Making

The versatility of Craftfoam 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 Craftfoam has quickly become the product of choice for making everything from model boats and railways to architectural models and model scenery.

Craftfoam 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 Craftfoam together, it is possible to make almost any shape.

Architectural Model Making

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