Foam PVC boards for furniture

Those shiny-looking PVC foam boards are available in thicknesses ranging from 10mm to 30mm and sheet sizes 1200mm to 3000mm. Nowadays, these boards have become an alternate to plyboards because of the following advantages:

• PVC foam boards are very light in weight. So, it is easy to use such boards with fewer difficulties in transportation and handling.
• Like plyboards, it is easy to drill, saw, screw, bend, glue or nail it. One can also put a protective film on the surface of the boards.
• PVC foam boards are moisture-resistant. It has low water absorption properties and hence it is easy to maintain hygiene.
• PVC foam boards are termite-proof and rot-proof.
• PVC foam boards are safe for kitchen cabinets as they are non-toxic and anti-chemical corrosion-resistant material.
• PVC foam boards provide heat insulation and are fairly fire-resistant.

The best thing about PVC foam boards is that they are available in matt/glossy finishes that can be used directly for kitchen storage cabinets. However, any raw surface can get scratches; hence we recommend using laminates or films for such surfaces.

The only disadvantage of PVC cabinets is it needs a skilled carpenter for fixing the furniture. Even improper screwing in the boards can cause sagging of shutters and drawers.

PVC foam boards are giving real competition to traditional wooden cabinets. It is time to replace old wooden cabinets with these PVC foam boards and have maintenance-free cabinets.
