PVC foam boards are widely used for outdoor signage due to their resistance to moisture.
Water Resistance
The closed-cell structure of PVC foam prevents water absorption. This makes the material suitable for use in damp or rainy environments.
Outdoor Performance
While the board itself is waterproof, long-term outdoor performance depends on:
-
Board thickness
-
Fixing method
-
Print finish and UV exposure
For outdoor applications, thicker boards and secure mounting methods are recommended.
Typical Outdoor Uses
-
Directional signage
-
Construction boards
-
Temporary outdoor displays
-
Event signage
With proper installation, PVC foam boards perform reliably in outdoor conditions.
