Closed cell is a type of foam in which the “cells” are enclosed and tightly pressed together, contrasting with the open, interconnected cells of the open-cell, or traditional polyurethane foam variation. This means that water rolls of the sides rather than passing through the foam. With higher density and greater pressure resistance, this malleable material comes in a variety of forms. From the rigid polyethylene (cross-poly) foam to the squishy feel of Flotex, closed-cell foam is a versatile material offerring a tight seal and enhanced stability.

*Due to the nature of this specialized foam, we cannot cut custom sizes in some dimensions. We won’t charge your credit card until we make your order. We are unable to cut cylinders and wedges deeper that 4 inches without a seam (we can glue them up for larger dimensions).
