What is the difference between KT board and PVC？

1.Material is not the same

KT board is foam board, the outer layer is the board with PVC stickers, because the internal material is foam for complex modeling is not suitable for living, but also the internal use of foam, so the price is cheaper and lighter, reducing construction difficulties and weight.
