BalsaMarine panels have been tested in the Laboratories of Technique du Bois in France, and it is worth noting that the resistance to deflection, or elasticity, is comparable to Okoume plywood, and even greater in the transverse direction. In addition, despite the low density, hardness is equal to about 50% compared to plywood BalsaMarine Panels, with an end grain balsa core, have been developed to provide the user with a strong, lightweight structural panel. Our Composite Panels are 4' x 8' in size and can be produced in-house with a variety of decorative veneers: Teak, Cherry, Afromosia, Maple, Teak & Holly etc.
