Set designers rely on lightweight, rigid materials to deliver the look and feel of the real thing. They turn to specialized suppliers like Provost Displays, Norristown, PA, for architectural elements fabricated from lightweight, thin-gauge, rigid thermoplastic. The company vacuum forms plastic panels for theatrical, film, and photographic scenery. Standard designs include stones, building materials, windows, doors, tiles, as well as 16 types of brick. Other items are manhole covers, rafters, Egyptian panels, deer heads, radiators, and fire hydrants. Molds for some designs are hand-sculpted from high-density foam and then sealed with reinforced two-part epoxy resin. Other molds are taken from plaster casts of real items. Continuous-pattern designs, like brick, have interlocking soldiered edges. Provost's owner, Ardia Dayton, says the company uses Boltaron sheet for its formability. The material has little thin-out on outside corners or in recesses. The Boltaron material also has good tensile strength, scratch resistance, and 20-ft-lb/in. impact resistance.
