Why don't vendors like this make it easy to buy?

Beautiful products. Exactly what I've been looking for. If only the names on their site meant something to me. Too much to navigate, product names that are relevant only to the vendor and no way to find out where to buy or what the fabrication issues are.

Try Finland Color Plywood

Hi Lilian, I agree... their website is frustrating. Did you check out Finland Color Plywood's website? I noticed that the link we had no longer worked, but have now fixed it. Their website is a bit more useful, and you can also contact them with your questions. Good luck, and let us know if you find out anything interesting!

Availability

. . . contacted Manhattan Laminates (www.manhattanlaminates.com) and received an instantaneous (almost) reply regarding price and availability. . . I suggest you contact them; they were most helpful.

Pricey

The product looks great but at about $12 per square foot it is very pricey.

Longevity

Hi - I like the look of this product - does anyone know of an older building where it has been used? We have an architect who is keen to use it but we only have two buildings who have it on the exterior here in the UK.
