You asked, we listened...
After a strong launch of the Can/Am panel line up, we've upgraded the Can/Am line
to gold plus status after hearing our customers'
feedback. CAN/AM GOLD+ is Columbia's new and improved value-priced professional
grade plywood.
North American-made and CARB Phase 2 compliant, this product will fill your need
for a low cost plywood panel to round out your construction options. These CAN/AM
GOLD+ panels offer more consistent quality, less thickness variation as well as
reduced warping and moisture problems than many imported, low-cost alternatives.
And because they're made at Columbia's plywood mills across the US and Canada, quick
regional shipping will assure steady availability.
Available options include pre-priming, foil or UV coating, and all are produced
with our soy-based, formaldehyde-free PureBond®
technology.
Features and Benefits
North American Made.
CAN/AM GOLD+ panels are made at Columbia's mills in the US and Canada. You'll benefit
from quick regional shipping options even at low quantity needs.
Formaldehyde-free.
Because all of Columbia's veneer core panels are made with soy flour-based formaldehyde-free
PureBond® technology, they are CARB Phase 2 compliant and contribute to LEED®
and other Green Building credits.
Improved Yield.
Less waste due to problems like warping, thickness variation, delamination and poorly
patched plies. Controlled moisture content gives these panels enhanced stability.
Reliable Visuals.
Panels feature faces pre-sorted for uniformity. Available in SAP and Natural options.
