- Exceptional look
TUFSKIN EVA
Tufskin technology uses a layer of continuous mat fibres sandwiched between 2 layers of glass weave to form a thick, stiff and durable epoxy sandwiched laminate. The standing area has a 0.6 mm Australian pine veneer layer for extra strength.
With superior impact resistance, it is the technology of choice for those looking for durability and strength.
The seamless rail finish and sharp release edges add to the value, quality and performance of Tufskin Technology.
