• Expanded Polyurethane Cover

  Expanded polyurethane is a type of insulation foam used in the building industry that hardens into a lightweight but very strong material. This can be sprayed onto a simple cloth cover with metal mesh to bind it together. Then the foam can either be painted to protect it from the sun or rendered & painted.
  



• Concrete covering

  The frames when used as shuttering, covered with wood can be used with gunite (sprayed concrete).
