The most commonly used materials for building themed spaces are: Styrofoam (EPS), plaster and specialized coatings. Here are some key benefits:
-
Styrofoam (EPS): This material is very light, easy to shape and allows the creation of complex 3D structures, such as sculptures, fake rocks or decorative elements. Styrofoam is economical and allows the rapid production of large elements with low weight, which makes it easier to install.
-
Plaster: When used in combination with polystyrene, plaster provides a strong, long-lasting and resistant finish. It can also be shaped to mimic different textures, such as stone, wood or concrete, giving a natural and realistic look.
-
Special coatings: They are often used for the final layer to achieve the desired aesthetic effect and additional resistance to weather conditions. Vapor-permeable coatings allow structures to "breathe" and protect them from moisture.
This combination of materials enables the creation of spectacular themed spaces, with minimal weight and costs.
