Smith & Fong Introduces New Line of Carved & Textured Bamboo Architectural Panels
San Francisco, Calif. – Smith & Fong Co., manufacturer of Plyboo® bamboo architectural plywood and flooring, today announced the launch of its new Reveal™ Collection of carved and textured bamboo panels, according to company president Angus Stocks.
Available in eight different modern pattern/color options, Reveal creates a stunning, three-dimensional visual effect, as the panel’s face is carved in designed patterns to reveal its inner core layers. Utilizing Smith & Fong’s proprietary RealCore™ technology ensures the revealed cores are consistent and that layers of bamboo material in bi-directional construction enable stability.
“Reveal is one of the most visually dynamic products we’ve ever introduced,” Stocks said. “It’s ideal for modern retail, hospitality and commercial projects that seek a cutting-edge design with an warm, natural look.”
Reveal panels can contribute toward three different USGBC LEED credits (MR 6 Rapidly Renewable Materials; MR 7 Certified Wood; EQ 4.4 Low-Emitting Materials, Composite Wood). Panels can be specified CARB Phase II-compliant or FSC 100%-certified bamboo/urea formaldehyde-free. Reveal panels are Class C fire-resistant (Class B available custom order), and California Section 01350- and CARB Phase II-compliant.
Sheet sizes are 4’x8′ x 3/4″ thick and available in amber or natural, prefinished or unfinished.
Reveal panels are fabricated in the USA with domestic and foreign components.
