The most popular choice for site boards, available in a wide colour range with a gloss or matt finish with a choice of thicknesses.

Why Choose Foamex Advertising Boards

Foamex advertising boards are a budget-friendly option for a wide range of promotional needs. They work well for trade signs, events, exhibitions, and public messages where clarity and durability matter. Additionally, the material is lightweight and easy to handle, so Foamex is ideal for short-term campaigns and longer displays. As a result, it offers flexibility without sacrificing strength.

Lightweight and Versatile Foamex Advertising Boards

Foamex is made from PVC, so it stays strong while remaining easy to carry, cut, and install. Because of this, the boards withstand regular handling and keep their shape over time. Therefore, you can move or reuse them without worrying about damage.

The material performs well indoors and outdoors. In most situations, Foamex maintains its colour and finish. It resists fading, moisture, cracking, and changes in temperature. Consequently, it becomes a low-maintenance choice for busy environments.

Weather-Resistant and Long-Lasting Performance

One of the biggest advantages of Foamex advertising boards is their weather resistance. The PVC construction does not rust, rot, or warp. Thus, your signage stays clean and professional even with frequent exposure. Furthermore, this reliability is helpful for retail promotions, market stalls, safety messages, and temporary outdoor campaigns.

A Range of Thicknesses and Finishes

Foamex boards come in several thicknesses to suit different needs. Thinner panels work well for indoor displays, while thicker options provide more strength outdoors. In addition, you can choose between matt and gloss finishes. The matt finish creates a modern, glare-free look. The gloss option adds shine and boosts colour vibrancy. With these options, you can match your board to your brand style with ease.

Maintenance

Care of your new site boards

Congratulations, you have just bought ‘the best’. Impact Signs use ‘new generation’ vinyls for all of their site boards. The manufacturers stated exterior life under normal conditions is a massive 7 – 10 years (except florescent & some specialty finishes). You may experience ‘air bubbles’ for up to 4 days after sign writing. In actual fact, these are not air but application fluid. All you have to do is…. Leave them alone, they will simply disappear of their own accord, this is in no way caused by poor workmanship and will not affect the long term adhesion of the vinyl

Cleaning your site board:

  • Do not clean your site board for at least 4 days. This allows the adhesive to ‘cure’ properly
  • Do not direct pressure washers ‘up close’ to the sign writing, especially if the text/graphic is very small or intricate.
  • If cleaning by hand, use a sponge, not a cloth.
  • If you have digitally printed (full colour or graduated) vinyl, do not use solvent of any kind. This may cause the image to fade. Soapy water is all you will need.
  • Take care that you do not scuff the sign
If you wish to remove the sign writing at any stage, this is relatively easy to do, just use the following guidelines:
  • Use heat! Vinyl can be removed easier when it is warm. A hair dryer is the best tool for the job. Caution! Do not use hot air guns, these may burn the surface.
  • To remove the glue residue use white spirit. Let it soak in for approx 2 minutes first, glue should then be easy to use.
  • Do not use a knife to remove vinyl. It may ‘pierce’ the surface. Use a plastic knife or ask us for a squeegee
  • When the entire vinyl and glue residue is removed, it would be wise to use ‘T’ cut to hide the ‘ghosting’ that may be evident.
