FAQs
No yet, but we’re working on it!
UK Bamboo Supplies Ltd have had an FSC audit conducted and are currently waiting for official FSC certification on the following bamboo plyboards: 19mm (side-pressed), 19mm (plain-pressed), 30mm, 40mm (5-ply).
Till official certification is given, we cannot sell the boards as FSC-certified with a full chain of custody document – but watch this space!
How the bamboo is laid out prior to pressing. Different arrangements give a different board face.
Plain-pressed
Imagine a ruler laid flat on a table. This is our bamboo slat. Lay multiple bamboo slats next to each other and subject to a pressing machine. Hey presto, you have Plain-Pressed! This results in the individual bamboo slat and node details being clearly visible. A ‘plainer’ look, compared to the side-pressed.
Side-pressed
Using the same ruler analogy, imagine all the slats on their side. The bamboo is then pressed to create a more detailed face to the bamboo plyboard.
The debate of side-pressed vs plain-pressed bamboo board ultimately comes down to personal preference on the look of the board.
The standard sheet we sell is 8ft x 4ft.
We also sell A4, A2, and 4ft x 4ft sizes as standard sizes.
The following products are exceptions to this:
- 1.35/1.5mm Bamboo Veneer
- 3mm Bamboo Veneer
- 40mm Bamboo Worktop
Yes.
The boards and veneers are ideal for this. See product page for individual product recommendations (e.g., on the 3mm it features as a product highlight).
