Transforming Residential Projects with Custom Foam Mouldings
Lightweight EPS/XPS foam mouldings let builders deliver sharp architectural detail without heavy masonry. EPSTECH designs, cuts and coats custom profiles that install fast and stand up to Australian conditions. Below we outline where it works best, how we build it, and the practical details teams care about—lead times, finishes and install considerations.
Why foam mouldings?
Traditional masonry details look great but add weight, labour and cost. Hot‑wire cut foam profiles capture crisp geometry at a fraction of the mass. When sealed with a reinforced hard‑coat and UV‑stable topcoat, they deliver the look of cast elements without structural penalties or long install times.
Design to install—our process
We start with your elevations or a photo of an inspiration profile. Our team drafts the section, validates scale at window lines and parapets, and then hot‑wire cuts EPS or XPS blanks. A glass‑fibre reinforced hard‑coat creates impact resistance; a flexible acrylic or 2K polyurethane topcoat finishes the surface. Adhesive‑fixing and mechanical pins minimise penetrations and speed install.
Performance in Australian conditions
From coastal salt to high‑UV inland heat, coatings matter. We specify UV‑stable topcoats and flexible base layers to control hairline cracking across seasonal movement. The assemblies remain light—ideal for retrofits or timber framing—while the hard‑coat protects against hail and job‑site knocks.
Common residential applications
Window surrounds, eave trims, parapet caps, keystones, string courses, cornices and gable features. We match existing profiles for renovations or develop new families for volume builders so every facade reads consistently across an estate.
Specs & options
• Substrates: EPS or XPS density matched to span/impact needs
• Coatings: reinforced elastomeric base + acrylic or 2K PU topcoat
• Fixing: construction adhesive + mechanical pinning where required
• Finish: paint‑ready fine texture or rendered look
• Lengths: factory‑joined modules sized for easy handling on scaffolds
Quality, safety and compliance
We build to your project documentation and local requirements. Final compliance with building codes and fire performance sits with the project designer/engineer; we provide material data and installation guidance for sign‑off.
