What is Foamex®?
Foamex® is a lightweight board with a polyurethane foam core, known for its lightweight and semi-rigidity. Foamex is often used to mount work for Box (spacer) frames, tray frames or as a mounting solution for artwork that is to be hung directly on the wall.
Why should I choose Foamex Mounting?
Foamex is exceptionally lightweight, and Foamex mounting is ideal for short-term applications, including touring exhibitions and those wanting to achieve excellent dimensional stability on a budget.
We can offer Foamex mounts in 2mm, 3mm or 5mm thicknesses and up to a maximum size of 2 997 x 1 828mm (118 x 72 inches).
Direct to Foamex Printing:
We can also print your images or artwork direct to Foamex using our Direct to Media printing service. Printing direct to a substrate can often be quicker as it removes the need for a photographic print and is a popular choice for those looking to explore new creative possibilities. Foamex is just one of the hundreds of substrates we can print on to – find out more about our Direct to Media UV Printing here.
