What Customers Are Saying

The PolyPro Foam Boards provide effective insulation that is easy to install and suitable for DIY projects. Customers appreciated the 2-inch thickness, foil facing, and ease of cutting and shaping the boards. The insulation helped improve temperature and comfort levels in various spaces. However, some customers reported issues with damaged or defective boards, high prices, and excessive cleanup due to Styrofoam shedding. The R-value was also lower than competing products, and the boards may not be suitable for certain applications. Overall, the product is a decent insulation option, but customers should carefully consider their specific requirements before purchasing.

Product as described

Would Recommend

The product is as described. But the curbside pickup is what I'll talk about. This was my first curbside pickup experience. The young man who answered the phone was so helpful and he's the one who loaded both my orders. He was great. Wish I remembered his name.

Would recommend.

Cutting

Would Recommend

So I bought 1 sheet, had to cut it in the parking lot to get it into my SUV. Used a razor knife and snapped it which leaves a very rough edge that you have to contend with. So at home, I used my 7 1/4 Inch Circular Saw to make my final cuts. Supper clean edges and way easier to fit them in. Yes, makes a mess so cut over your grass and use your lawn mower to clean up. Did this for the next 2 sheets I had to buy, very happy with the results

Be careful when getting this delivered

Would Recommend

Does not transport well when delivered by Lowe's. Ordered two sheets, and both had the corners dinged up a bit. Tip: Cuts well with electric knife, use a wallboard square as a guide, taping it down temporarily with duct tape. Square: Item #77676, Model #32410181

This Foam panel board is great. Its unfortunate that Lowes isnt. I ordered 4 of these and 4 of the 1.5" for pick up and a day later, no word that my order is ready for pick up.

Great Project Foam

Would Recommend

I know this is supposed to be insulation but it works great for my Christmas train project. Wanting something more than the floor or a table I happen to see this in the store. As you can see the project Christmas train is coming along fine.

Skeptical at First

Would Recommend

I bought this to insulate my garage door. I was somewhat skeptical at first, but after having it installed a few days, it has worked amazingly. It bends and flexes as much as you would need it too and as long as you have a sharp enough blade, it is easy to measure and cut.

Best flotation material I ever used

Would Recommend

I installed a center console in my boat. Boat being over 20 years old flotation was shot. I read somewhere about using this. 2” thick and fit perfectly in floor, will also add to walls ect. Very light weight, no way this boat will ever sink.
