The Kerfkore Company Now Offers Foamkore In A Panel Thickness Up To 3

Foamkore (patent pending) is a lightweight cost-effective alternative to traditional panels that features polystyrene foam core and thin face materials. It consists of a balanced constructed foam board that provides a structural panel with up to 80% reduced weight when compared to conventional panels of plywood, particleboard and MDF. Panels can weigh as little as 12 oz. per square foot. Panels can accept a variety of edging options including edge capture, edge insert, outer edge band, edgebanding, and corner post. Panels are laminated with special glue that results in greater moisture resistance. When plywood face materials are used, the product has water resistance capabilities. Kerfkore's Foamkore panels are available in a nominal panel size of 4' X 8' with a thickness that runs the gamut from ¾" up to 3". Standard face and back panels are available in the following: hardboard, fiberboard, Luan Plywood, Poplar Plywood, and Birch Plywood. Additional options include marine grade plywood and melamine faced hardboard face and back. The panels can be painted, veneered, or laminated for producing design possibilities as vast as one's imagination. Applications include furniture, exhibits, ceilings, walls, signage, displays, partitions, shelves, stage props, doors, marine panels, recreational vehicles and even dance floors and much more. The extruded polystyrene core has been ASTM E84 tested with results of 5-10 Flame Spread and 60-200 smoke development which falls in a Class A qualification. The addition of the face materials must be taken into consideration for overall fire rating. Custom sizes, thickness, and materials available.
