Our Furniture ESP (Engineered Strand Panel) is designed for use as framing in upholstery furniture and in other demanding interior applications.
Strong and uniform
We apply industry-leading processes to manufacture panels to precise specifications. Using the latest in strand and resin technology, combined with mill capabilities, our panels align multiple layers of wood strands in alternating directions, which are bonded together with resin, heat and pressure. The resulting panels are consistent, strong and uniform.

- Furniture FN is our standard, cost-effective furniture panel.
- Furniture FN HD has increased density and strength capabilities.
- Furniture FN HD+ offers all the benefits of FN HD with superior fastener-holding capabilities – our strongest furniture panel yet.
