As a Sustainable Interiors Consultant, I am always looking for products that are environmental and sustainable. DesignerPly by Gunnersen is one of those products.
DesignerPly by Gunnersen was created to allow interior designers and consultants to integrate a plywood that can create a beautiful visual impact within any design space. DesignerPly is beautiful, sustainable and extremely strong due to it being a cross laminated timber.
DesignerPly is a decorative solution that can be used in all types of applications from indoor to high moisture and high volume areas.
I love that Gunersen is an Australian, family-owned, company who inspires designers and architects to create spaces using products created here in Australia. Through their commitment to sell these products, they are educating the industry to care for the environment.
Lissa Gunnersen responded to my two key questions.
Tell us about the environmental and health benefits associated with the manufacture of Designer Ply by Gunnersen.
DesignerPly is an environmentally friendly building product. It is a renewable resource sourced from sustainably managed forests and may be certified under the FSC and AFS/PEFC certification schemes. Products with certification can contribute to Green Star Credit Points under the Green Building Council of Australia. DesignerPly with a powder coated finish delivers a pre-finished panel solution with no VOC emissions reducing on-site health risks and installation time.
How do you inspire and educate interior designers and architects to choose interior products that are healthy for people and our planet?
DesignerPly brings the natural beauty of timber into interior creations. It is a visually striking material where inspiration comes from sharing the work of design professionals creating beautiful and inspiring design results. The use of natural products, including DesginerPly, with it’s timber colour and grain structure complements any interior design and brings a calming neutrality with textural depth.
