WCV EXPERT TIP

Plan which finished face will remain visible before cutting, then use sharp carbide tooling and a supported backer to reduce chipping around exposed edges.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

ULTRALIGHT UltraHEX Double-Sided Plywood combines a scuff-resistant, hex-textured phenolic face with a smooth phenolic reverse surface. Both sides arrive finished, making the panel especially useful for cabinet doors, partitions, benches, platforms, and open storage components where the front and back may remain visible.

Its lightweight, minimum-void core uses WBP marine-grade phenolic resin adhesive throughout. Consistent density and tight thickness tolerances support precision CNC fabrication, while average weight savings of approximately 40% help builders manage finished vehicle weight.

BEST FOR

• VISIBLE CABINET COMPONENTS: Ideal for doors, partitions, shelves, and open storage where both panel faces remain exposed.

• MODULAR VAN INTERIORS: Well suited to removable benches, bed components, utility panels, and convertible furniture.

• CNC AND CUSTOM FABRICATION: Consistent density and finished faces support repeatable production with less surface preparation.
