Foam reduces core weight, but total weight and handling depend on the coating, support, base and size. Large or suspended pieces still require confirmed lifting points, fixing methods and venue approval.

Applications include event props, stage scenery, retail displays, mall installations and restaurant decor. The surface can be sealed and painted, or reinforced with a hard coating where the piece will be handled or transported repeatedly.

Foam blocks are cut or carved, joined and prepared for the selected finish. Large forms may be divided for transport and site access. Outdoor use depends on the foam, coating, joints, exposure and display period.
