  • Is Foamex Board Waterproof ?

Foamex is 100% weatherproof and is a highly resilient waterproof board. This material, which is highly recommended for outdoor applications, can withstand extremes of temperature and weather conditions, including strong winds and heavy rains, as well as snow and dryness.

It is one of the most straightforward materials to deal with, and it can be cut, drilled, sawn, or moulded with heat to get the greatest possible finish in a short amount of time. It is exceptionally lightweight when compared to alternatives such as glass or wood, and it is reasonably simple to install on any flat surface. The waterproof board pairs very well with double-sided Velcro. The material will hold precisely if it is attached to both the Foamex and the wall or surface where it will be mounted. It is simple to install and requires no special tools. A basic home drill is all that is needed for the installation, and nails or screws are sufficient for attachment to most surfaces.

Waterproof Board for Exterior Use

If you are looking for a waterproof board for exterior use in UK, then you cannot go wrong with these foamex boards. With an average sign lifetime of 3-5 years, foamex is a more cost-effective alternative to traditional sign materials such as plywood and aluminium. You’ll have lots of hanging choices with this durable and lightweight product, and it’s also great for when you need a speedy turnaround. Your waterproof sheets outdoor signage will seem to be of the utmost quality when you use our same-day foamex printing service. Aside from that, it has a class 1 fire rating and may be manufactured with an anti-static coating to resist dust and debris from the environment.

  • Point of Sale Displays and advertising
  • Display Panels
  • Indoor Signs
  • Advertising Boards.
  • Backdrop Displays.

In terms of business signage, this exterior waterproof  board is an excellent material. It is possible to print high-quality images directly onto 3mm foamex board, resulting in signs that have a significant visual impact and may be used both inside and outdoors.

Several Benefits of Waterproof Boards

In addition to withstanding considerable wear and tear, waterproof boards are also protected against water damage. The colours of your signage will last considerably longer before they run or fade, and your message will remain in the minds of your target audience for a much longer duration resulting in a more successful advertisement.

Increases Your reach to a Larger Audience

Many companies and brands are concerned about the long-term viability of their signage in all weather situations, therefore they prefer to place their signs in covered places. There are many great places to reach people undercover, such as bars and clubs, subway stations, and other densely inhabited structures like gyms and libraries. However, confining yourself to these covered spaces means you’re losing out on important outreach possibilities. In addition to its capacity to maintain its form and quality, a long-lasting waterproof board will stand out due to the lack of competition it faces from other posters and advertising that is often shown indoors and in covered places.

Attracts the Attention of a Passersby

Outside of your own location or business, a waterproof board may help you reach a larger audience not to mention how effective they are in attracting your target audience straight outside your establishment. Outside of your shop or venue, you may entice your target audience at a vital juncture for your company by delivering attractive discounts and messaging.

Easy to Clean and Maintain

Aside from weatherproofing, waterproof boards are also quite effective at coping with all kinds of wear and strain. For example, if you have signage in your cafeteria or kitchen, oil and moisture are likely to come into touch with them,, causing them to seem worn out and unclean. When you use waterproof boards, you don’t have to worry about removing the dirt and dust that might build up on your signages.

Your outdoor signage will be even more durable thanks to the use of waterproof, lightfast inks, as well as the additional lamination coating that you can choose from. Improve the aesthetics of your design by using either a matte or a gloss lamination that provides your signage with additional protection for a long-lasting impact.

And that’s a wrap: Foamex waterproof board, with its water-resistant qualities, is the signage material that provides you with cost-effective excellence.
