GL BAL FOAM COMPANY
CUSTOM CUT FOAM
Global Foam Company has been in business since 1997. Two
partners designed and built their first computer-controlled foam
cutting machine for cutting patterns on investment castings to
within +/-.005 inches.
We have since diversified and now provide custom precise-cut
foam patterns and shapes for several applications: architecture,
signs, concrete forms, amusement parks, displays/exhibits,
from wedding columns to concrete bridge detailing.
Global Foam Company produces unfinished items for EIFS
(Exterior Insulation Finish Systems). The shapes we create can
be cut from our library of files, or we can produce from
customer generated ideas. Usable files include 2D and 3D CAD
files, dimensioned layouts, photos, hand sketches or
renderings, clip art profiles and letter fonts.
Exceeding customer expectations is our primary goal.
Please Note: All work is CUSTOM CUT
Responsibility
When you submit a design it is the responsibility of the
purchaser/specifier.The designer is responsible for all decisions
pertaining to the design, detail capability, drawings, etc. Global
Foam Company is not liable for any errors in these areas.

Construction Information
Signs are constructed from a solid block of shaped polystyrene, sealed for
strength
and durability with a thick polymer bonded concrete formula and reinforced with a
fiberglass mesh.
Sign Features:
• Simple Installation – prefabricated, no site mess or weather delays
• Visually Appealing – no exposed seams or joints
• Weatherproof – Proven fade resistant weatherproof concrete exterior coating
• Easy Repair – If an unlikely accident damages sign, simple patching done on
site
• Easy to transport due to lightweight materials and simple 4 x 4 mounting posts
• All work is custom and fancier artwork does not drive the cost significantly.
Self Installation:
Step 1 – Determine Location, Frame details (Wood or Tube Steel) and
Check building codes
Step 2 – Dig post holes for 2 holes as depth requires (typically 3 ft)
Step 3 – Make sure posts or frame is plumb to ground, pour in concrete
Step 4 – After concrete sets, apply construction adhesive to posts and slide
sign over posts or from top

Types of Foam and Coatings
EPS (Expanded Bead Polystyrene) (Bead Board)
This material comes in large billets ~ 33x48x96 inches. This type of foam
is white and has small beads formed together like foam packing products.
This material can be of various densities. We typically cut a 1 lb. foam for
most uses. The EPS can be bought at 2 lb., 3 lb., and 5 lb. densities.
The cost of materials increases in prices according to density; for
example: 1 lb. is ½ the price of 2 lb.
This material can be painted by hand or a mechanical sprayer. You
cannot use solvents in any coating because the foam will melt. We have
water based coatings, including paint, which will provide a hard durable
finish for this material and hard plastic finishes for this foam plus a special
Styrocrete finish. The Styrocrete is a concrete with a polymer bonder
providing a weatherproof coating. Add a fiberglass mesh and this material
wears just like a stucco exterior finish. Great for signage or any outdoor
displays.
Extruded Polystyrene (DowTM Board)
This material is a smooth closed cell and is about 1.5 lb. Density, it is
used for items 3 in. thick or less. We use this for letters and shapes when
someone wants a higher quality foam for applying paint.
Plastic and Textured Coatings
We have several coatings which can provide a clear seal or a hard finish
for painting. We can also apply fiberglass mesh under the coating to
provide strength and durability.
