POLYSTYRENE
Plastic is something that we all come into contact with daily – not only in the sculpture form of a retail display displayed in a shop window or at a specific event, but also in the more basic forms of packaging in your recent online order, or protection, such as the interior of your bike helmet or any polystyrene decoration.
Aside from the fact that it is readily available and easily accessible in a variety of shapes with varying degrees of expansion and density, it has several additional advantages that make it the ideal material for sculpting and bringing your prop design concept to fruition.
Versatile
Polystyrene is an extremely versatile material, as seen in several applications and used in different decorative sculptures and statues. Furthermore, it is pliable, making it simple to carve out shapes, mould and coat – making it a propmaker’s ideal material for creating props!
The creation of replica sculptures, as well as curved walls and unusual forms, is no issue for our creative pros, providing you with an almost endless number of alternatives for your project ideas and prop designs.
Response time is critical
Bring your project to a competent and devoted staff like ours, and not only will you get high-quality results, but you’ll also get them in a short amount of time. Your polystyrene-based props and shop displays may be made in a short period thanks to our experience. The only method to improve the aesthetic appeal of a store window is to use a different kind of paper for different decorative polystyrene statues.
Nonetheless, we statue makers make no compromises on the finer aspects – we understand how vital intricacy and realistic details are, which is why we ensure that all of our projects and sculptures have the “wow factor” that everyone is seeking.
Scale
Using polystyrene for sculptures, models and other props has the advantage of having no upper limit on the size of the final product. The use of polystyrene allows you to create designs or polystyrene decorations that are large or little. The use of polystyrene allows us to create high-quality props in a variety of sizes, from small sculptures to huge shop displays and enormous props. Please have a peek at some of our statue maker’s most recent projects to witness our polystyrene sculptures in person.
Cost-effective
A large part of its popularity stems from the fact that it is a reasonably affordable material. When it comes to utilising other materials, for designs and decorations of polystyrene, the volume or time frame may result in a bill that you are unable to manage, which is where using polystyrene as a cost-effective option comes into play.
It’s also a good choice for ornamental reasons since, in addition to being inexpensive to purchase, it’s also long-lasting and works well when coated and finished properly. In other words, you’re getting the most bang for your buck possible by choosing polystyrene efficiently for all decorative sculptures and statues.
Lightweight
In addition to being quite diverse in terms of how it may be worked with, polystyrene can also be utilised, as we have previously discussed. A large part of this is since it is so light. Because it is a lightweight material, it is easy to manipulate and move about in any way you like – for example, if you want a floating polystyrene prop in your store window, you can easily do this.
Additionally, because of its modest weight, expanded polystyrene is simple to move and manoeuvre. That van driver who is transporting the sculptures from one event to another, as well as the store assistant who needs to experiment with their display in the shop window, will have an easier time of it. Large polystyrene sculptures and statues, especially those that are quite large, can usually be moved by one or two persons with relative ease.
Recyclable
Additionally, utilising expanded polystyrene is helpful to the environment in addition to being favourable to you and your wallet. All garbage generated while creating your outstanding creation may be recycled since it is a recyclable product. Recyclable polystyrene may be made from leftovers, which can then be used for new and innovative designs or any of the material’s many additional applications.
What is expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam and how does it work?
When people think of foam, they commonly think of expanded polystyrene (EPS). However, the name “Styrofoam” refers to a closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam that is used for thermal insulation and crafts. The phrase “EPS foam” refers to any kind of expanded polystyrene foam, regardless of its composition.
Expanded Polystyrene insulation is a closed-cell material that is lightweight, stiff, and inexpensive. EPS is available in a variety of compressive strengths to accommodate a variety of load and backfill stresses. Due to the closed-cell structure, there is minimal water absorption as well as low vapour permanence.
You can learn more about expanded polystyrene carving and other polystyrene decorations which our statue makers do decoration of sculptures at our firm by visiting our services page, or by getting in contact with us. Your feedback is much appreciated.
