Foam is an incredible material which can be used for a wide range of applications. It’s used in so many different ways, we often forget just how useful it is. Here at Foam Supplier, we do exactly what it says on the tin: provide highly quality foam products for all kinds of projects.

Whether you’re looking for foam products for insulation, crafts, upholstery or packaging, we’ve got you covered. All our foam is manufactured to ensure exceptional quality, comfort and versatility. 

We regularly supply our products to customers across the UK, including DIY enthusiasts, professional crafters and business owners. 

Our products include class 0 foam products, including PE (Polyethylene) and PU (Polyurethane) foam materials. These have diverse applications across various industries due to their properties such as lightweight, cushioning, insulation and durability. 

Here are just a few of the ways our foam products can be used:

Firstly, they make excellent packaging material. PE and PU foams are commonly used in this regard to protect fragile items during shipping and handling. They provide cushioning and shock absorption, reducing the risk of damage.

Secondly, they serve well as insulating materials. They can be used in buildings as insulation for walls, roofs, and floors, as well as in refrigeration units and HVAC systems to improve energy efficiency.

If you love customising your own furniture, our foam products in the UK are also useful. PU foam is often used in the manufacture of furniture, such as sofas, mattresses, and chairs, due to its comfortable and supportive properties. PE foam can also be used for cushioning in outdoor furniture or for lightweight applications.

They can even be used for automotive applications.  PE and PU foams are used extensively in the automotive industry for insulation, cushioning, and sound absorption. They can be found in car seats, headrests, door panels, and interior trim.

These types of foams are also great for sports and recreational equipment. They often appear in helmets, padding for protective gear, yoga mats, flotation devices, and exercise mats due to their lightweight and impact-absorbing properties.

In the medical field, PE and PU foams are used for orthopaedic supports, prosthetics, cushioning in medical devices, and as padding in wheelchairs and hospital beds.

Did you know that both PE and PU foams are excellent sound absorbers?

That makes them useful for soundproofing applications in buildings, recording studios, theatres, and automotive interiors. Among our products you’ll find specialist acoustic foams, including:

• PE Foam (Polyethylene foam). This is a versatile closed-cell foam material that's used for a variety of purposes due to its durability, lightweight nature, and excellent shock-absorbing properties. PE foam is commonly used in packaging, such as for cushioning delicate items during shipping, as well as in insulation, flotation devices, sports equipment padding, and even in orthopaedic devices. Its closed-cell structure makes it water-resistant and buoyant, and it can be easily cut or shaped to fit specific needs.
• Class 0 Foam. Class 0 foam typically refers to a specialised type of firefighting foam used to suppress fires involving flammable liquids. It is designed to quickly smother the fire, preventing its spread and re-ignition. Class 0 foam is often used in situations where traditional water-based firefighting methods are ineffective.
  
• Closed Cell Foam. This type of foam is characterised by its structure of tiny, closed-off cells. Each cell is completely enclosed and separated from others by its walls, which makes the foam more rigid and less flexible compared to open cell foam.
• Open Cell Foam. This type of foam is characterised by its structure of interconnected pores or cells, which are not completely enclosed. This allows air or liquid to pass through the material, making it lightweight, flexible, and breathable.

PE and PU foams can be die-cut or moulded into various shapes to create gaskets and seals for automotive, industrial, and electronic applications, providing a reliable barrier against moisture, dust, and vibration.

Last but not least, they’re brilliant for arts and crafts. 

PE foam sheets are popular for arts and crafts projects due to their versatility, ease of cutting, and availability in various colours. They can be used for creating costumes, cosplay props, decorations, and model making.

The arts and crafts movement boomed during the pandemic, and has continued to be highly popular. It provides many of us with a refuge from computer screens, phones and modern technology in general. 

These are just a few examples of the many ways in which PE and PU foam materials can be utilised across different industries and applications. Their versatility, lightweight nature, and cushioning properties make them valuable materials in numerous fields.
