What is a good source of viv build materials?

I've been using expanded 1/2" PVC, and find that it is far superior to wood or melamine. However, building centers seldom carry it. Plastic wholesalers are the best source. It's far better to find one within driving distance, though, as shipping is expensive.

Is that the same as what some places call rigid PVC foam board?

Am interested in seeing the answer to that question as I don't know it. To me, they seem to use cellular PVC, foam PVC and expanded PVC interchangeably.
