C/S Interior Lightshelves

Although some aspects of the C/S Interior Lightshelves are standard, each order can be custom-engineered to fulfill unique specifications; “We haven’t got two to match yet,” products representative Eric Wiedman told

The lightshelves are made of an expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam core covered with either aluminum or Construction Specialties’ own Acrovyn® that can be specified to match other wallcovering textures, finishes, patterns, and colors. Acrovyn is a semi-rigid vinyl (PVC), backed by poly-cotton osnaburg—similar to the material used for grain sacks or upholstery.
