About Triple Layer Canoe Construction
Three Layer Polyethylene has been used to successfully manufacture canoe models for decades. This material is used to produce canoes using a rotational moulding process, which was first developed by Old Town in 1983. This scientifically designed structural sandwich includes a layer of closed cell foam surrounded by layers of high-density linear polyethylene. This combination, and the unique process by which it is accomplished, are the principal reasons for the material's strength.
The foam-core material also ensures buoyancy. Under most conditions when the canoe is filled with water, the canoe will remain afloat. The main disadvantage to triple-layer canoes is in their weight. With incredibly tough, durable canoes the additional material in the construction process means that most of the canoes below would be considered a 2-person lift.
