NorCore™ ESP (Engineered Strand Panel) is a precision-calibrated wood core suited to applications that demand exact thickness tolerances. The precision-sanded face is perfect for the overlay industry. It’s the smart alternative to other products, like offshore plywood, that often have surface imperfections.
