Expanded PVC?????

tsusnakeguy Oct 01, 2007 08:42 PM

I am trying to find a supplier that sells either Expanded PVC or something like that in sheets kinda like plywood sheets. I am not sure the exact material I want or maybe it has a name I am not use to. I have seen rigid PVC foam board and I am not sure if that is the stuff I want. I want a material kinda like what BARRS cages are made out of. I hope someone knows what I am talking about and can help me.

Actually I think Barrs uses Styrene. I could be wrong, as I was once.

well you will know haha, what would be a good plastic material to use in cage making and how thick would it need to be for certain weights and all? I would appreciate any help you could give me.

BARRs uses Polystyrene. No idea how it is to work with, but it is super easy to clean. That's a huge plus. A lot of PVCs are difficult to clean.
