ValueCore™
Smooth, versatile birch panels.

Introducing ValueCore™, our new birch-faced, multi-purpose panel.

ValueCore provides the uniform attributes of engineered composite crossbands, at a price and grade that makes it an excellent value. These 4'x 8' panels are CARB P1 compliant and ready to ship.

ValueCore: Value. Service. Trust.

ValueCore is a new combi-core panel construction featuring thin MDF crossbands under the face and back to provide exceptional smoothness on the natural birch veneer face. This panel offers the hard-working grade you need and the species you want at an exceptional value.

This combination makes ValueCore the obvious choice for those jobs requiring a combi-core but need the quality and peace of mind that only Columbia Forest Products can offer.
