Services
Hardcoat
Hardcoat applies a durable, sandable urethane resin to protect foam sculptures while preserving fine details. It offers water and impact resistance, fast drying, and Class 1 fire retardancy. Compatible with foam, wood, metal, and plastic, it supports custom colors and automotive-grade finishes.
Flexcoat
Flexcoat provides a flexible, weatherproof rubberized coating for foam and other substrates. It resists cracking, peeling, and chipping while allowing paintable finishes. Ideal for outdoor projects, it offers customizable textures and Class 1 fire retardant options.
Sprayfoam
Sprayfoam transforms surfaces into textured landscapes, caves, or structures with sculptable, insulating material. It adheres to wood, metal, and concrete, supports custom thicknesses, and dries quickly for immediate finishing.
Waterproofing
Our waterproofing services create 100% watertight scenery for tanks, pools, or flooded sets. Using a two-stage coating process, we ensure durability for projects ranging from small props to large-scale environments with custom color options.
CNC Hotwire
CNC hotwire services cut complex EPS foam shapes up to 60x90x90 with precision. Equipped with a turntable and lathe, we produce custom mouldings, logos, and large-scale elements for architectural or entertainment applications.
