AmeriCore – is perfectly suited to meet even the strictest building requirements and is usable as a core material in nearly every application where sandwich composites are used. Conformable to most surfaces, AmeriCore is ideal for uniformly increasing the thickness and stiffness of laminates. AmeriCore is comprised of 100% composite materials, has minimal resin demand, and chemically bonds with the laminate, forming a single component that makes delamination a nonissue. AmeriCore is a suitable replacement for wood and other reinforcements within composite laminates because it adds tremendous strength without absorbing water, rotting, or decomposing. Furthermore, AmeriCore has the added benefit of excellent screw retention. Lastly, AmeriCore FR and FR premium offer excellent fire resistance and smoke protection and is available in up to Class A fire resistance.

Architectural applications:

  • Storm shelters
  • Amusement parks
  • Climbing walls
  • Aquariums
  • Septic tanks
  • Storage tanks

AmeriCore-Boards are fiberglass reinforced plastic panels that are ideal for new or retrofit construction. AmeriCore-Board panels are comprised of 100% composite materials and are durable and long lasting. Unlike other composite panels, AmeriCore-Board panels have excellent screw retention that will not weaken significantly over time. AmeriCore-Board panels also have low thermal conductivity and offer excellent sound abatement. AmeriCore-Board panels are specifically engineered to be strong yet lightweight and are a versatile and cost-effective building panel that can meet most architectural needs.

Common Architectural Uses:

  • Structural panels
  • Walkable ceilings and roofs
  • Pedestrian and trail bridges
  • Boardwalks
  • Docks
  • Jet bridge flooring and sidewalls
  • Storage containers
