Foam Insulation: Looks Soft. Works Hard.
Remodeling | Design, Insulation, Walls: When it comes to tough, durable materials, nothing packs more punch per ounce than one component PU (polyurethane) insulating foam sealant. It’s a stable, flexible, water vapor and thermal barrier that conforms to any space and tolerates a wide range of conditions.

I don’t have a lot of experience working with foam and this article really helps me to understand some of the differences about foam and its uses. Foam definitely has its uses in live theatre. From props and set pieces, to wall carvings and other applications. Foam is lightweight and versatile. Need to create a 14th century hall table that no one will use? Make it out of foam. Some carving of a foam block and some careful detail painting and bam, instant table. It is a versatile product that can save time and money when compared to it’s replacement. A marble statue is heavy, expensive and fragile. One carved out of a block of foam is much more cost effective, lightweight, and although delicate, if damage, can be easily repaired with putty and still look perfect. Foam is our friend in set build and the prop world because it can form into just about any shape. Such a product would be a great thing to look at from a research and development standpoint to see how in our industry could find ways to incorporate foam into set building to make sets lighter and more portable.
