Gen-Eco Ultra-light Balsa end-grain panels are produced from certified plantation grown Balsa (the world’s lightest commercially grown tree). These panels are an ideal core material resulting in an extremely light and strong product. Balsa’s end-grain configuration creates optimal physical properties due to the honeycomb like structure of this unique tree. The Balsa tree can grow from a tiny seedling to an adult 90 feet high in about 5-7 years. The fast growth of Balsa trees makes them a unique environmentally friendly building material.
Balsa End-Grain panels are also used in the construction of wind turbine blades, transportation, and marine industries.
Our Balsa panels are available as both a standard end-grain panel or more typically with a MDF skin applied to both sides of the sheet.
