Now, we’d like to highlight one of Intectural’s newest and most stunning materials from Smith and Fong Co.: the Plyboo Reveal Collection of bamboo architectural plywood.
What Is the Reveal Collection?
The Plyboo Reveal Collection is a series of carved and textured bamboo panels that are architecturally inspired to bring textures, colors, designs, and unique and spectacular visual effects to interior spaces. A unique interplay between the vertically fluted exterior layer and a revealed inner core produces a stunning visual effect. These intersecting surfaces evoke the natural, tactile quality of a woven textile that is both intriguing and captivating.
Available in eight color patterns and color options, the Reveal Collection is super stable, due to Plyboo’s proprietary RealCore technology. This technology, paired with bamboo material layered in a bi-directional layer arrangement, ensures consistency and fewer voids in the revealed cores.
Application
The Reveal Collection is ideal for open office spaces, where ambient noise can distract workers. The bamboo panels offer an acoustical-dampening effect, helping to reduce the sounds that often resonate through these open spaces. But the panels not only help make these office spaces more comfortable and enjoyable places to work – they also promote the visual appeal of the workplace.
A prime example of this type of Plyboo Reveal installation is Level Office. This Chicago-based company rents private offices, co-working desks and meeting spaces for businesses. The Reveal bamboo panels help reduce ambient noise in this open-office setup.
In addition to serving as wall paneling, Reveal bamboo panels are ideal for elevator lobbies and cabs, reception desks, focus walls, or simply as artistic adornment.
Environmental Benefits
Not only is the Reveal Collection known for its exceptional beauty and stability, but it is also endorsed by homeowners, contractors, designers and developers as an eco-friendly building material. It’s an excellent option for those looking to make their structures and spaces more environmentally sustainable.
Reveal can help to contribute toward three Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) credits. It is made from 100% Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified Bamboo, which means the material comes from well-managed forests is rapidly renewable. It is also free of urea formaldehyde, making it an eco-friendly choice for indoor applications.
