Styrofoam can be pre-ordered in any shape, or an installer can simply take a utility hot knife or a bucksaw and trim off whatever amount they need to make a piece fit into place. Using special made adhesive glue just prior to pressing the piece into place, makes it simple. In many large construction sites, you will see that styrofoam is the main element of construction. It can be used under eaves, for columns, cap blocks, arches, gables; it can be used for special lettering for displays and many other things. The moldings can also be pre-ordered. Employee's really love working with styrofoam, because of its weight. It also saves money for heavy equipment that would have had to been used to lift other types of materials.
Some of the styrofoam pieces can be coated to give them extra strength. Styrofoam can also be coated for easy painting. The final finish can come in a large variety of options: sand, keystone, light sand, white sand, 2-tones, knock down.
