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.

Angie Haynes has worked with the construction industry for over fifteen years, including flooring projects with Heathrow Airport and the Radison, Marriot and Hilton hotels.

“We have looked long and hard to find the right manufacturer’s representative to support our distribution efforts in the UK and Europe,” said Angus Stocks, President of Plyboo. “Rob and Angie are the perfect fit for Plyboo.”
