Abstract: An engineering wood based laminated panel for use as structural flooring for vehicle decking systems replaces a traditional hardwood decking and is cheaper plus having superior structural and wear properties. The panel has a plurality of layers in order down from a top surface, comprising a surface layer (1) having at least two high density wood veneer plies oriented parallel to one side of the panel, a load distribution layer (2) having at least one high density wood veneer ply cross oriented to the one side of the panel; a core layer (3) having from about 8 to 14 wood veneer plies oriented parallel to the one side of the panel with centre plies of the core layer being high density wood plies, and a resin impregnated reinforcement layer (4).
