Strong mechanical support for flooring, structural partitions, and high load-bearing applications.
Product Overview
SKD FRP Sandwich Panels with Plywood Core combine a weather-resistant FRP gelcoat outer skin, a plywood structural core, and an FRP inner skin — a structure engineered to deliver strong mechanical support for applications with demanding load-bearing requirements.
Plywood Core is a practical choice for flooring, structural partitions, and other applications where load-bearing capacity is the priority.

Note on width and shipping
Panel width is determined by standard container dimensions for shipping purposes. Panels wider than standard container dimensions cannot be transported and are therefore not available. Contact our team to confirm the maximum width for your specific container type and shipping route.
Why Plywood Core
Plywood Core delivers strong mechanical support, making it a preferred choice for applications with demanding load-bearing requirements — such as flooring and structural partitions where consistent rigidity under load matters most.
Beyond its structural strength, Plywood Core panels retain all the advantages of SKD’s FRP gelcoat technology: excellent weather resistance, moisture resistance, and long-term durability, backed by the same 10–15 year warranty as our standard gelcoat panels.
Applications
With its strong load-bearing capacity, the Plywood Core Sandwich Panel is well suited for structural applications, including:Modular Building Structures, Structural Partitions, and Trailer & Truck Bed Flooring, and other applications where high load-bearing capacity is the priority.
A: Both Plywood and Honeycomb Core prioritize structural performance over insulation, but Plywood Core is typically chosen for flooring and high load-bearing applications, while Honeycomb Core is favored where minimizing weight matters most alongside rigidity. Contact our team to discuss which fits your project’s requirements.
A: Yes. Panel thickness is made to order based on your project’s structural and load-bearing requirements. Contact our team to discuss the right thickness for your application.
A: Yes. The FRP gelcoat skins provide the same weather resistance across all applications, so Plywood Core panels can be used for both interior structural partitions and exterior-facing applications where load-bearing capacity is needed.
A: Generally, yes — plywood’s layered wood structure makes it denser than foam cores like PU or hollow structures like Honeycomb. This added weight comes with the trade-off of strong load-bearing performance, which is why Plywood Core is chosen specifically for high load-bearing applications. Contact our team for guidance on weight considerations for your project.
A: Yes. The FRP gelcoat outer and inner skins form a moisture-resistant barrier around the plywood core, helping protect it from water damage and extending the panel’s service life compared to exposed plywood.
