In Lesson 02 of EDURA University, John Rossi, Director of Product & Design, breaks down the key differences between EDURA 207 and 407 panels — and what the numbers actually mean.
If you’ve been wondering whether to choose 207 or 407 for your project, this lesson explains the structural differences in fiberglass reinforcement, foam density, strength, and weight so you can make the right decision.

🎯 In This Video, You’ll Learn:
✔ What the numbers 207 and 407 represent
✔ The difference between 2-layer and 4-layer fiberglass reinforcement
✔ How 7 lb density PET foam impacts structural performance
✔ Weight vs. strength comparisons between 207 and 407
✔ Why both options outperform traditional marine plywood and Coosa
The 207 panel features 2 layers of fiberglass reinforcement on each side of a 7 lb density PET foam core, offering lightweight stiffness and structural performance.
The 407 panel features 4 layers of fiberglass reinforcement on each side of the same 7 lb density PET foam core, delivering maximum strength and durability — while still remaining lighter than traditional wood-based marine materials.
Color-coded for easy identification:
🔴 207 panels = Red core
⚫ 407 panels = Black core

“We’re not waiting on the future. We’re building it.”
Ben Davis of @edurabuildingsystem + @theopbox says it best: the technology for affordable housing exists right now—it’s safe, practical, and cost-effective. So what’s holding us back? Outdated codes and regulations that haven’t caught up with innovation.
At Edura, they’re proving every day that you don’t need a 2x4 to build something strong—you just need vision and a system that works.
Let’s rethink how we define housing solutions in Maine and beyond.

One of the most frequently asked questions is what marine applications are suitable for EDURA Marine panels?
EDURA panels are versatile and can be used for structural and non-structural bulkheads, decks, cabin tops and sides, doors, hatches, transoms, thermal insulation, cabinetry, consoles, dry or wet holds, docks, floats, gangways, containers, ice wells, fencing, partitions, and storage structures. Check out how a local #oyster farm is testing out EDURA as a solution 😎
