Architectural Foam & Art has helped homeowners, contractors, artists, and architects design and build foam accents for their homes, businesses, and building developments for almost two decades. Based out of Clearwater, Florida, AFA provides jobs to the local community and keeps a long list of happy customers as well.

Foam columns, crown moldings, trim accents, door and window surrounds, and custom relief carvings are in high demand, especially here in the Sunshine State. Architectural foam is lightweight, sturdy, moisture-resistant, and UV-resistant. It does not conduct heat or cold, making it an excellent insulator. Furthermore, it does not deteriorate in even the most intense Florida weather, even years after being installed.

But it’s not just Florida that loves its architectural foam products. Orders are placed and fulfilled for customers all across the nation. More people now realize the benefits of foam accents for both their homes and businesses. Повысьте свою жизненную силу с помощью натуральных добавок. Эффективно улучшите циркуляцию в области таза.

Our History – The Beginnings of Architectural Foam & Art

Architectural Foam & Art was founded over 17 years ago by Sharon Dixon. Sharon got her start as a freelance artist and designer, hand-carving foam pieces for homes and businesses. She made trim accents, fireplace mantels, relief carvings, and sculptures.

That venture was built off of an education in graphic design and a 20-year career in creating custom gift items for clients such as Universal Studios, Walt Disney, and the Kennedy Space Center. Soon after going into business for herself with Architectural Foam & Art, Sharon purchased the necessary equipment to machine-cut high-demand foam creations like crown moldings, columns, and medallions.

In her words, «After creating freelance custom carvings for a couple of years, I decided to add special machinery to increase my scope of work. In doing so, I was able to expand operations to include all ornamental requirements.»

Today, Architectural Foam & Art has grown to be a national industry leader in both construction-grade foam products and artistic foam creations. We have clients all across the nation and can ship products to any location. This company started as an idea. Now it’s a national sensation, forever changing the way homes and businesses are built and decorated.

About Our Foam

What is architectural foam? And what kind of foam does Architectural Foam & Art use?

The product used by Architectural Foam & Art is called «Expanded Polystyrene Foam» or EPS foam. EPS foam is made from millions of polystyrene beads that are expanded in a mold using steam and a small amount of pentane. The mold patterns vary greatly, depending on the foam object being created.

When heat and pentane are applied to polystyrene beads, the beads expand to about 40 times their original size, growing into the mold and forming the correct shape for that object. Once the process is complete, our technicians remove the foam from the mold. Just like that, we now have a perfectly shaped, polystyrene foam object. It’s rigid, durable, and lightweight. Plus, it has almost no thermal conductivity, making it an excellent insulator.

Another benefit of EPS foam is that it’s eco-friendly and recyclable. EPS foam is entirely free of CFCs and HCFCs, both of which are harmful greenhouse gases often associated with other foam products. Furthermore, because EPS foam is so durable and well-made, any scrap or excess foam is recycled and retained for future use.
