Plywood Questions

Q: What's the difference between Plywood and Bamboo-Ply
A: There is none. Plywood is the term our sheet goods are most commonly referred to, but since there really is no wood in our products and each sheet is made from 100% solid bamboo strips we like to call it bamboo-ply.

Q: Which way does your grain run?
A: Our grain on all of our products go the length of the product.

Q: What kind of finishes do you recommend for the bamboo plywood?
A: It depends on the application. For heavy use like a table top or a bar top, we recommend a very hard finish. For a lighter application like a cabinet door you may want to experiment with environmentally friendly finishes like linseed oil or oil wax. In general, our products can be finished with anything from waxes to polyurethanes, varnishes, oils, and lacquers.

Q: What kind of cleaner can be used?
A: Different applications require different types of maintenance. Before applying any cleaning agent to your plyboo plywood check for recommended cleaners with the manufacturer of the finish you used.

Q: Where can I see samples of installations?
A: If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area please visit us at our showroom. For photos of case work and cabinetry visit some of our favorite designers' web links on our plywood page.
