FAQ's
1. Is there skin on both sides of Polyethylene foam?
* Only 1", 2", 3" and 4" have skins on both sides. Any other thickness may not have skin OR may have skin on one side only. If you specifically need the skin, please let us know before placing the order for additional cost.
2. What happens if the foam is left in direct sunlight for all day every day.
This foam can hit up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit of heat. However, due to the sun’s UV rays and radiation over long periods of time the foam may start to melt or start to deteriorate, just like getting sun burned when it is cloudy outside. Foam N’ More don’t recommend this foam be directly sunlight all day every day. Foam N’ More suggest nothing over 3 hours per day but we are still investigating how many hours you can keep the foam in direct sunlight each day.
