The cardboard often used for model making, crafts, and dioramas, particularly when precision and versatility are required, is commonly referred to as foamboard. However, it's crucial to understand that not all are created equal. The quality and performance of foamboard can vary significantly depending on the type of foam cardboard used and the quality of the outer layers.

It consists of three layers: a central froth core, often made from materials like polystyrene, polyurethane, and many others, sandwiched between two thin layers of cardstock or cardboard. This composition gives it a unique set of characteristics that make it an attractive choice for creative projects.

These boards are incredibly versatile and their dense foam construction will give you a cleaner cut and optimal support for your creations.

The dense foam section is sandwiched between two thin card layers, which allow ink, paint, and toppers to adhere to the surface easily compared with a more porous foam surface. It can be painted, decorated, and nailed. Add a thin PVA glue layer before painting to reduce and almost remove the low porosity of this material.

The inner foam can be easily texturized either by hand or with textured rolling pins. We recommend using rolling pins with simple textures such as bricks, cobblestone, pavement, and frozen.
