UltraBoard Aluminum

UltraBoard Aluminum is a lightweight structural panel. It consists of a rigid polystyrene foam core facing anodized aluminium on one side and litho grade high impact polystyrene on the other. Its thickness ranges from 3/16″ to 3″. The foam and facer are tightly bonded together. 

Ultraboard aluminium is ideally used for logos and decorative letters. It is easier to craft than solid metal, using a saw or router. The best thing about this material is that it even maintains its appearance better; the surface is anodized aluminum, which doesn’t fade, tarnish, or rust. The back side is high-impact polystyrene.

Moreover, it is lightweight, less expensive, and delivers the same impact and appeal as metal, but in a durable, versatile foam-centered product.
