The Forte II from the Symphony Series® is a high-performance strandwoven compressed bamboo cladding panel, engineered specifically for external walling, feature façades, fencing, and compliant pool and landscape applications. With a tongue‑and‑groove joint system and densely compressed bamboo grain, Forte II delivers superior structural stability, making it a stronger, more durable alternative to laminated Cello panels. Designed for tough environments and elegant architectural contexts, it’s an ideal solution for commercial and high‑traffic settings.
Built using the Scrimber Grain process, Forte II exhibits exceptional density, strength, and dimensional stability, traits that make it suitable for commercial landscapes and design projects requiring both durability and refined aesthetics.
Each pre‑oiled panel reflects the natural beauty of bamboo while offering a long service life under external exposure. Its engineered density and hardness outperform conventional laminated versions, providing dependable performance where impact resistance and visual continuity matter most.
Perfect for facades, boundary fencing, pool screening, and high‑traffic urban developments, Forte II pairs sustainable design with architectural sophistication.
