PALIGHT® ProjectPVC

Lightweight PVC sheets for DIY home projects, cosplay, and crafts

PALIGHT ProjectPVC sheets are the perfect solution for hobbies, crafts, modeling, maker projects, and decorative interior home improvement projects. Offering more rigidity and durability than typical craftboard or foamboard, ProjectPVC is lightweight and waterproof, and functions similar to working with a soft wood such as pine or balsa. DIY project makers prefer ProjectPVC because it’s easy to cut and fabricate using conventional tools such as blades, saws, and drills. It can also be glued with adhesives approved for use with PVC, and is available in bright white and bold colors. ProjectPVC helps bring projects to life.
