SAN FRANCISCO—Smith & Fong Co., manufacturer of Durapalm palm architectural plywood and flooring products, announced the introduction of DecoPalm, a line of premium, contemporary, three-dimensional wall paneling products manufactured from reclaimed palm wood, according to company founder Dan Smith.
“DecoPalm delivers a unique, multi-textural surface,” Smith said. “Its rustic but modern lines contrast well with contemporary materials like steel, glass and concrete.”
Palm offers a broad range of tones and grains. Manufactured entirely of reclaimed palm lumber, DecoPalm panels are made with no added formaldehyde and comply with California Section 01350 VOC emissions standards, a more rigorous protocol than CARB II. Offered in dimensions of ¾” x 6” x 48”, the panels interlock seamlessly to create a monolithic wall or ceiling surface. The use of DecoPalm panels can contribute to multiple USGBC LEED V4 credits.
Founded in 1989 and headquartered in San Francisco, Smith & Fong Co. was the first U.S. company to manufacture bamboo flooring for sale in North America, offering its initial product under the brand name Plyboo in 1993. In 1996 the firm began producing bamboo plywood, followed by coconut palm flooring and plywood products in 2000. Today, the company’s products are distributed and sold throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
