Polystyrene sheeting or Polystyrene Sheets (better known as foam sheeeting or foam sheets), is cut to size from blocks 2400x1200mm. The cutting service provided is generally square cutting only. Apart from standard sheets sizes as listed below, the cutting service is priced on application, as the grade of material, the size, shape and quantity will determine the amount of wastage from a full block.

Polystyrene Grades

There are three grades of polystyrene available, although other grades may be obtainable. The grades generally are based on the density of the material. The most common grade is the SL grade or normal grade, followed by M grade, which has a higher density. Both grades are stocked, whilst the higher grade, H grade is purchased on application.

Custom Cutting

Virtually any size can be cut from a block. It should be noted that to cut a piece 2400mm long (apart from a full sheet), the minimum dimension should be 100mm. If smaller pieces are required, they should be made up in 1200mm lengths. Angle cuts require jigging and are time consuming and are priced on application. To prevent a misinterpretation, a sketch of the shape with dimensions should be provided.
