Bamboo ply is a renewable and sustainable alternative to traditional plywood. Selectively harvested every year without destroying plantations, bamboo is one of the strongest building materials available on the market, offering a tensile strength of 28,000 per square inch.
The ideal substitute for traditional hardwood
- 25 percent harder than red oak and 12 percent harder than North American maple. In addition it features 50 percent less expansion or contraction than red oak
- Made from fine layers of bamboo strips laying in parallel order, skins are kiln dried, sanded smooth and then laminated edge-to-edge to create a single-ply panel
- Multi layers are cross-laminated and heat pressed together to provide stability and to prevent warping
