Is Fomex the Same as EPS Foam or Acrylic?
No. Fomex on this page is white PVC foam board for signage and displays. EPS foam has a different bead structure; acrylic is a separate sheet material available in clear, opal white and colours. Choose by material and finished-product requirements rather than the generic term “foam board”.
What Is the Difference Between Reduced-Thickness and Full-Thickness Grades?
The catalogue lists 3 mm reduced-thickness grade, 3 mm, 10 mm reduced-thickness grade and 10 mm full-thickness grade separately. Each specification has its own price; compare like-for-like grades. Actual thickness and tolerances must be checked against a sample or batch, not inferred from the name alone.
Are All Thicknesses Available in 1,220 × 2,440 mm?
The 1,220 × 2,440 mm size is currently specified for Fomex 2 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm full-thickness grade and 15 mm. Other specifications are marked “Confirm During Consultation”. If cutting is needed, send the finished dimensions and quantity to check board size, cutting layout and waste.
Can Fomex Be UV-Printed or Covered with Adhesive Graphics?
PVC foam is used for direct printing and adhesive graphics. For a specific order, check the board surface, ink system, drying or curing settings, graphic film and adhesive. Test a sample for adhesion and print quality before producing large quantities.
Can Fomex Be Used Outdoors Long Term?
Select a board range with data appropriate to the exposure conditions and duration. Do not assume all PVC foam boards have the same UV or heat resistance. For outdoor signs, send the installation location, dimensions, intended service period and supporting structure for advice.
Are Fomex Boards of the Same Thickness Identical?
Not necessarily. Density, foam structure, surface quality and tolerances, as well as thickness, can affect weight, rigidity and fabrication performance. For consistent finished products, compare samples and specifications for the exact range or batch.
Do the Displayed Prices Include VAT, Cutting and Delivery?
Prices are per full board for each specification and exclude VAT, transport, cutting, printing and fabrication. The estimator multiplies board price by quantity only. Bulk, cut-to-size or drawing-based fabrication orders need a separate quotation to establish the full cost.
What Information Is Needed for an Accurate Quote?
Send thickness specifications, board size or finished dimensions, quantity, printing / graphics / cutting requirements and delivery area. Attach any files or drawings to check materials, component layout and finishing options. LIONVINA confirms stock and costs before finalising the order.
