BURLAP PANELS

Homasote Burlap Panels are composed of an all-natural, heavyweight jute fabric laminated to a nominal 1/2" structural Homasote® fiberboard. Decorative, tackable Burlap Panels are used in both residential and commercial construction as a finished paneling in its natural state or painted to adapt to any color or décor. They're ideal for a range of applications from family rooms and children's bedrooms, to school rooms and business offices - anywhere the rich look of natural fabric with the bonus of a fully tackable surface would be appreciated.
