Despite being a thermoplastic, PET foam exhibits remarkable thermal stability that allows it to be machined with standard woodworking tools—it can be sawn, routed, drilled, and planed to create complex edge profiles and geometries. Crucially, unlike aluminum honeycomb, it can undergo three-dimensional thermoforming to produce curved or shaped architectural elements without spring-back. For contractors, this means on-site adjustments, cuts for openings, and modifications are fast and tooling-light, slashing installation time and enabling the realization of complex, free-form architectural designs without prohibitive costs.
