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, thicker faces,
less telegraphing as well as reduced warping and moisture problems than many imported
or domestic 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.

GOLD+ panels with the appropriate face and back combination in order to control
costs and to suit your particular application.
- Variable moisture content in manufacturing with the potential for warping
- Multiple inner plies with possible core voids and panel thickness variability
- More glue lines = higher formaldehyde emissions and delamination risk
- Inconsistent crossband quality = telegraphing through thin faces and backs
- Random quality of thin face veneers and risk of sand-through and finishing problems
- Subject to freight and exchange rate fluctuations, shipping delays and inventory
outages
|
- Controlled moisture content in manufacturing
- Made with PureBond® formaldehyde-free technology (proven in over 50 million
panels)
