An innovative new wood product, Mass Plywood Panel (MPP), is hitting the market thanks to Freres Lumber. MPP is currently being tested and refined through a partnership with Oregon State University and the new Center for Advanced Wood Products.
A veneer-based engineered wood product, MPP is a massive, large-scale plywood panel with maximum finished panel dimensions up to 12 feet wide by 48 feet long and up to 24 inches thick. The panels may be customised to fit specific projects; constructed in 1-inch thick increments that provide superior strength and performance.
An alternative to cross laminated timbers, MPP is an engineered panel that allows wood products to be used for multi-story buildings, while increasing the speed of construction. What sets it apart is the fact that it uses engineered veneer and custom plywood layups as a base material rather than lumber.
