Renewable interior panels for railcars

Panels manufactured by Koshii have traditionally been fabricated with renewable materials such as wood, plywood, balsa and decorative, high-pressure laminate. For years Koshii interiors have provided the safety, durability, maintenance, functionality and aesthetics demanded by the rail industry.

More recently, in order to meet the industries need for a more desirable ergonomic appeal, Koshii interiors have begun to include thermo-plastic panels for lighter weight. This includes aluminium lightweight flooring with ultra lightweight balsa cores, as well as foam cores, which maintain the ability to seal out elements of moisture absorption while preserving the structural integrity of more durable plywood and stainless steel.

Reusable wood rail interiors

Interiors such as floors, designed with reusable wood products such as high-quality exterior construction plywood, are manufactured to the requirements of the American Plywood Association PS-1-2007 for use in wet environments, including rail cars.

This assures the ability to withstand cleaning, new finish flooring, ASTM smoke flame and toxicity compliance, as well as impact and vandal resistance, and ease of replacement, if required.

Watertight floor panels for the rail industry

Koshii’s seam-welded watertight perimeter is totally encapsulated in stainlesssteel and is by far the most durable floor panel the transit industry. The stainless-steel seam-weld is unique in lighter gauge stainlesssteel, as well as lightweight plywood.

The floor panel is still manufactured to the same marine-type plywood specification and contributes to a lightweight floor system that does not compromise on durability and safety.
