Backers & Crossbands
FormWood backers and crossbands support balanced panel construction, reliable lamination and consistent finished results. From stabilizing backers that help prevent warping to synthetic crossbands that offer uniform thickness and smoothness, these products help fabricators build better panels from the inside out.
Helps reduce movement
Backers and crossbands support more balanced panel construction and help reduce warping.
Improves consistency
Synthetic materials offer uniformity that natural wood products cannot always provide.
Application-specific options
FormWood can recommend the right backer or crossband based on your core, face, construction and finishing needs.

Backers & Crossbands Options
Stabilizing Veneer Backers
Resin-impregnated backers used on the reverse side of veneered or high-pressure laminate panels to help balance construction.
Synthetic Crossband
A consistent alternative to natural wood crossband with uniform thickness, density and moisture content.
Paintable Veneer Backers
A backer option that can also be painted or printed for applications where the reverse side may need color or decoration.
