Bamboo Flooring
Plyboo's bamboo flooring offers a sustainable alternative to traditional hardwood. Engineered for durability, our flooring options include strand, edge grain, and flat grain varieties with finishes ranging from natural to stained. Ideal for residential and commercial spaces, these floors meet FSC and LEED standards while providing dimensional stability and resistance to wear. The product line includes Stiletto Strand, our hardest option rated at 3500 psi Janka hardness.
Acoustic Wall Panels
Our acoustic wall panels combine aesthetic design with noise reduction technology. Using proprietary QuietWall systems, these bamboo panels achieve 60 IIC ratings for sound insulation while maintaining visual appeal. Available in Linear Sound, Futura Sound, and Reveal collections, they feature carved patterns that expose layered cores for dynamic visual effects. Ideal for offices, hospitality venues, and public spaces requiring both style and functional acoustics.
Custom Millwork
Plyboo provides custom bamboo millwork solutions for cabinetry, countertops, and built-in fixtures. Our edge grain and flat grain plywood options offer dimensional stability for complex shapes and joinery. Used in projects ranging from retail environments to educational facilities, these components leverage bamboo's strength-to-weight ratio and sustainability credentials. Custom staining and finishing services ensure design cohesion across applications.
Ceiling Systems
Lightweight bamboo ceiling panels deliver acoustic performance and visual interest. The Linear Sound Ceiling Collection features optically engaging patterns, while Reveal panels use layered carving techniques for depth. Designed for commercial installations, these systems integrate with standard suspension frameworks and meet fire safety standards. Applications include healthcare facilities, tech offices, and hospitality venues seeking biophilic design elements.
Environmental Documentation
Plyboo supports green building initiatives with comprehensive environmental documentation. This includes FSC chain-of-custody certifications, life cycle assessments (LCAs), and environmental product declarations (EPDs). Our materials contribute to LEED credits for sustainable sourcing, low-emitting materials, and innovation in design. We provide technical specifications and compliance reports to facilitate eco-conscious project certifications.

Product is gorgeous, service.not so much. Phone was slammed in my ear. I've had better service ordering pickup at Pizza Hut. Lots of other flooring people out there. I'm going with someone that wants my business.
