Construction & interior
Since 1993, IFG has been developing high-quality foam and coating solutions specifically designed for use in construction and interior applications. Our materials are used for insulation, acoustics, protection, finishing and shaped components in various building structures and interior projects. Thanks to our technical expertise and custom manufacturing capabilities, we can tailor foam precisely to the intended function—whether it’s insulation for air ducts, acoustic wall and ceiling panels, or comfort layers in designer furniture.
On this page, you will discover how foam is applied in practice, which foam types are suitable, and the advantages IFG offers in projects where precision and quality are essential.
Why foam is essential in construction & interior
Foam is a versatile material that plays a key role in both functional and aesthetic applications. It offers excellent properties in terms of insulation, protection, acoustics and design flexibility. This makes it suitable for use in walls, ceilings, furniture, panels and structural elements.
Because no project is the same, foam is often produced to measure. Our custom foam and coating solutions ensure that dimensions, hardness, shape and finishing fully meet the requirements of your specific application.
Foam applications in construction
In construction, foam is widely used because of its combined insulating, sealing and protective qualities. Examples include filler pieces, seam sealing, shock-absorbing components and elements that contribute to improved building energy performance.
A specific application area is insulation material for air ducts and piping. Foam provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation and helps reduce heat loss and sound transmission. Thanks to its dimensional stability, it can be applied precisely around pipes, ducts and technical installations.
For applications involving moisture or airflow, foam is often combined with a durable coating. Our airtight and waterproof coating provides extra protection, making the material suitable for intensive use and demanding environments.
Foam applications in interior construction
In interior construction, foam is used in furniture, panels, displays and finishing components. The material offers comfort, precise shaping and a high-quality appearance.
Foam is also used in designer furniture, where aesthetics and functionality come together. Thanks to its flexibility, it enables the creation of complex shapes and unique contours.
Acoustic & aesthetic benefits
Foam is highly suitable for applications where sound absorption is essential. It is commonly used in acoustic solutions such as wall and ceiling panels. These panels improve sound quality in spaces such as offices, homes, hospitality environments and studios. The open-cell structure of the material ensures effective reduction of reflections and reverberation.
In addition to acoustics, foam allows for the creation of aesthetic elements. The material is easy to shape, making sleek, curved or textured surfaces possible. This makes foam an important component in the experience, appearance and functionality of a space.
Foam types for professional applications
For professional applications, PE and PU foams are primarily used. PE foam is firm, water-resistant and highly suitable for insulation, protection and construction-related purposes. PU foam is often chosen for interior elements because of its comfort, flexibility and finishing possibilities.
More information on the properties of PE foam can be found on our page about polyethylene foam (PE).
Sustainable & responsible foam use
As a family-owned company, IFG places great importance on corporate social responsibility. We carefully select our materials, reduce residual waste wherever possible and develop solutions that contribute to longer product lifespans. The social and sustainable character of our organization is an essential part of who we are and how we work.
Foam, when used correctly, provides sustainable insulation, protection and comfort. Through smart production and coating techniques, we extend the lifespan and improve the efficiency of applications in both construction and interior design.
