Themed Environments

Complex or simple, raw foam or highly dimensioned. Pre-finished for a fast installation, we provide the experience to help guide our clients to the best possible choice.

Overview

Located on King’s Road in the heart of chic and high-end Chelsea, we've designed the first Sticks 'N' Sushi restaurant in London. A richly textured space where Scandinavian and Japanese aesthetics meet through an emphasis on natural materials and an overall sense of contemporary luxury.

Details

Complex or simple, raw foam or highly dimensioned. Pre-finished for a fast installation, we provide the experience to help guide our clients to the best possible choice:

  1. Columns and balustrades systems
  2. Cornicing and watertables
  3. Medallions, quatrefoils, quoins and corbelling
  4. Window and Door surrounds
  5. Foam only, base-coated or completely finished

Our shapes are fabricated from virgin expanded polystyrene (EPS). EPS is a rigid, closed-cell insulation material that is white in color. It is a nontoxic material that provides Class 1 flame spread rating (25 or less) and is environmentally sound. Initially made from a petroleum byproduct, virtually all of our scrap is recycled into other post-consumer uses or back into the manufacture of other foam products.

The application of coatings to foam is limited only by your imagination. Our standard application involves the application of a fiberglass reinforcing mesh embedded in an acrylic modified cementitious base coat. The base coat must be tailored to the end finish of the element . Some finishes require different base coats than others. We also utilize epoxy resins, urethane, paints and gypsum-based coatings to foam. Application of finish can vary from conventional stucco to faux paints, a synthetic granite look or glass mosaic tile.
