In this article, Goldensign looks at one practical use of PVC foam board
—cabinet and furniture manufacturing. A field where material choice matters more than it seems.
PVC foam board is a rigid, foamed plastic sheet made primarily from polyvinyl chloride.
Not a new material. But still misunderstood.
It is waterproof. Moisture does not travel inside.
Mold and termites are not an issue.
Fire behavior is controllable. Weather resistance is stable.
No formaldehyde. No need to overthink indoor safety.
Processing is simple. Cutting, drilling, machining — all familiar operations.
Maintenance stays low over time.
Because of these traits, PVC foam board is often used as an alternative to wood-based panels, especially in modern cabinet systems where humidity, cleaning frequency, and long-term stability are constant concerns.
Main Types of PVC Foam Board
In furniture production, PVC foam board usually appears in three forms:
Free foam board is lighter and softer. Useful, but with limits.
Celuka board and co-extrusion board come with a denser surface layer.
More hardness. Better edge quality. More suitable for cabinet structures and visible furniture parts.
Co-extrusion board, in particular, offers a smooth and glossy surface straight from production.
Often no surface treatment needed. That alone changes the cost structure.
Surface Options and Laminated Boards
Solid color boards work in many cases. Not all.
When surface appearance becomes part of the design, laminated PVC foam board is usually the next step.
Different films. Different textures. Different performance targets.
Lamination improves more than appearance.
Scratch resistance. Fire performance. Fingerprint control.
Chosen based on use, not decoration.
Where PVC Foam Board Cabinets Are Used
Depending on environment and load conditions, PVC foam board is commonly applied in:
Office and public-space furniture
DIY and modular furniture systems
Areas where moisture, cleaning, and dimensional stability are everyday issues.
