Three uses for open-cell foam in your house

Three uses for open-cell foam in your house

Blog provided by The Foam Factory Open-cell foam is a versatile material that can be a valuable addition to different components of your home. Here are three practical ways you can use open-cell foam to make your house a more comfortable, sensible place to live. Insulation Open-cell foam has proven to be an effective material for insulation, or preventing unwanted heat from flowing into your home. As the Department of Energy notes, the right insulation can help reduce your heating and cooling costs. Because of open-cell foam’s flexibility, it can fit into gaps and crevices other insulating materials might not be able to reach. Soundproofing Open-cell foam makes up the structure of acoustic foam panels, which help eliminate unwanted echoes and reverberations in music studios, concert halls, gyms, and houses. These foam panels absorb energy from sound waves, letting the sound waves pass through their open-cell structure, then dissipating them as heat. Cushion filling Open-cell foam is both durable and flexible, which makes it ideal for cushion filling in sofas and chairs. A good foam cushion will support your weight while making it comfortable to sit and lounge on your furniture. Because of open-cell foam’s malleable nature, you can find foam cushions in any size and shape you need. The Foam Factory has provided custom-cut cushions made according to customers’ needs and specifications for decades.

Choosing the right type of cushions for DIY furniture

Choosing the right type of cushions for DIY furniture

Blog provided by The Foam Factory Do you enjoy the process of measuring and cutting wood, then shaping it into your own custom furniture? There are many different furniture shapes and designs you can bring to life when you’re crafting furniture with your own two hands, but once you’re done, you’ll have to figure out where to get cushions for your DIY furniture. Unlike store-bought furniture, handmade furniture doesn’t come with cushions, so you can either buy factory-produced cushions or get a custom cushion made for your project. The problem with mass-produced cushions is that it can be difficult to find cushions that fit your furniture’s exact dimensions, especially if you used a unique shape as the basis for your furniture’s design. Getting a custom cushion from a company such as The Foam Factory allows you to specify the exact measurements and shape that you need to fit your DIY project. You can even choose from different foam types for different levels of firmness and comfort. If you need soft foam for regular use, order some open-cell super soft foam as couch-backing cushions. If your main concern is durability, you can order high quality HD36 foam that can last for almost two decades. If you’ve made DIY furniture for use outdoors, you can also order custom outdoor foam cushions for added protection against sun, moisture, and harmful microorganisms. No matter what you need for your project, you’ll find the right type of foam cushions at The Foam Factory. If you can’t find the shape you need on their site, you can also contact them to discuss custom shape...
