What Are Foam Architectural Moldings?
Foam architectural moldings are decorative exterior details made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) coated with a hard polymer finish. They look exactly like cast stone, concrete, or carved wood — but weigh a fraction as much, cost significantly less, and resist weather, rot, and insects far better.
In Brooklyn, foam moldings are the go-to solution for adding or restoring architectural details to homes, apartment buildings, and commercial properties. Whether you're restoring missing cornices on a historic brownstone, adding window surrounds to a modern renovation, or creating a completely custom look, foam moldings deliver exceptional results.

Foam vs. Traditional Materials
- vs. Cast Stone — foam costs 60–80% less, weighs 90% less, installs faster, and lasts just as long when properly coated
- vs. Wood — foam doesn't rot, warp, or get eaten by insects — dramatically lower maintenance
- vs. Fiber Cement — foam is lighter, more flexible in design, and easier to customize
- vs. Plaster — foam installs faster and is significantly more resistant to cracking from building movement
