A NEW and extremely lightweight plywood product that recently launched in the UK has been shortlisted for a top industry award within months of going on sale.

Banova Plus is sold exclusively by Arnold Laver, which has a base on Canal Road in Bradford.

It has now been shortlisted for Timber Trade Journal’s (TTJ) 2018 Innovation Award, which recognises the industry’s most ground-breaking and transformative products.

Terry Palmer, Category Director from Arnold Laver, said: “Banova Plus is a strong and robust product but it weighs next to nothing. As soon as it went on sale in our depots, it proved to be hugely popular with anyone requiring a great looking product that’s extremely lightweight.

"We’ve already seen it used in luxury yachts, motorhomes, packaging, furniture, sculptures, theatre sets, exhibition stands, mobile advertising boards and suspended ceiling rafts.

"There’s nothing else like Banova on the market and to have its innovative credentials recognised by the TTJ Awards is fantastic for everyone involved.”
