MEGA Core® is a finger jointed blockboard panel specifically designed to be light, rigid, and highly stable. It is a lightweight plywood solution for a wide variety of applications from boat building to office furniture to RVs and the aerospace industries. This product was originally developed with the boat builder in mind, and it was quickly discovered that it could be also used effectively in many other applications where stiffness and a lighter weight are desired features.

The key was in choosing a lumber core which is typically made from softwoods. More durability was needed and screw holding power is important, so a hardwood, low density species (Falcata) was chosen instead. To further reduce the weight and add stability, a Falcata cross banding veneer is added to both faces. Finally, an A face Marine Meranti front veneer is added with the option for an A or C grade back veneer. This different facing option gives you some options when only 1 good face is needed in your application, while providing a bit of cost savings over the good 2 face panel option.

MEGA Core® is available in both 12.2mm and 18.5 mm thicknesses and 48 x 98 (1220mm x 2500 mm) sheets.
