What is 4x8 pvc foam board?
Fully made from plastic, PVC is the go-to-material for many industries. They are light-weight and moisture resistant. It is also corrosion-free. It means, rain or sun, PVC materials stand the test of time.

PVC is also quite flexible in terms of its usage as per requirements. You can paint it, engrave or emboss or even laminate. Also, PVC foam boards are durable. It is thus, a preferred material in making wall panels, display panels, vehicle ceilings, screen printing, advertising and so on.

What is Composite Foam Board?
As the term suggests, a composite foam board comprises a composition of two materials, plastic and wood. Hence, they are also known as Wood Plastic Composite Boards or WPC. The wood and plastic used for composite boards come from recycled materials and hence it is considered eco-friendly.

Types of Composites:

Capped
Uncapped.
Capped composites contain a mix of wood and plastics but the outer capping is made of plastic and protects the inner core from damage. Capped composites thus have a long life span.

Uncapped composites do not have such a feature and hence, could be porous and exposed to damage and fungus.

Key Differences Between PVC and Composite Boards You Should Know
Components: You should decide if you wish to go with plastic or if you prefer a mix of materials. PVC is the way to go for the former and composite for the latter.
Look: PVC foam boards have lesser colour options compared to composite boards. But they have an appeal of their own.
Installation: PVC boards need professional installation but composite boards can be easily installed or modified.
Features: When it comes to water and moisture resistance, both types come with excellent resistance. As for slip resistance, composite boards may offer better resistance, but you can check with a PVC foam board manufacturer, on the slip quotient of the PVC.
