Fast grow feature - Bamboo Ply
Bamboo is a fast growing harvested plant and 100% renewable resource and key to the Bamboo Ply system, which brings Pacifica indoors using the natural texture to create an authentic native experience. The tensile strength of the bamboo offers a robust lining with a surface that withstands knocks while being a versatile easy to use building material.

Once installed, Bamboo Ply is easily finished with Resene paint systems – a quick wipe down with Resene Polythane Brush Cleaner followed by Resene Aquaclear acrylic urethane topcoats. Where durability is paramount Resene Uracryl 403 or Resene ArmourCat 822 are recommended.

Often specified in projects retrofitting damaged paperfaced plasterboard and revitalising older homes, Bamboo Ply has formed textural feature zones within this contemporary residential home.

This home’s contemporary design reflects a Pacific theme utilising natural products including leather, wood, granite and linens, all exposed to the rough and tumble of family life with four children and one dog. Resene Alabaster (blackened white) features extensively throughout the interior and the harakeke style of Bamboo Ply complements the colour while creating stimulus and variety for the interior. Bamboo Ply feature walls 2.5mm thick adorn the bedroom, kitchen bench and an office, fixed directly to paperfaced plasterboard using glue without the need for stopping the plasterboard.

Extremely versatile, Bamboo Ply is also ideal in retail interior and community spaces through to schools.
