WORKLITE® EPS FOAMKORE®
Worklite EPS Foamkore lightweight panel reduces material weight up to 80%* by capturing a lightweight core between two thin high-density faces, resulting in a strong lightweight panel with structural integrity. Core material is a dense closed-cell Styrofoam that provides moisture resistance, thermal performance and compressive strength. Some panels can weigh as little as 12 oz/sf while still providing a 1/8″ plywood faced panel to achieve a 3/4″ overall thickness. Panels can be covered with high-pressure laminates, veneers, metals and many other semirigid materials as well as stained or painted.
*Compared to conventional panels made of plywood, particleboard and MDF
