Start by making a level line 150mm from the lowest point of the wall.


Lay the first plank along the line, starting from one end.


Lay the second plank of the row, coming against the first, edge to edge and following the level line. Cut out the last blade with the utility knife and square, in several passes.


Once the first row is finished, cut and glue the boards under the first row, by shifting the joint of at least 30cm compared to the one above.


Proceed in this way for the entire surface to be produced. Take care to stagger the joints. Apply a dry cloth to the whole thing when finished.

Green Blade® and the environment Fibandco takes great pride in offering sustainable, high-performance products. All Green Blade® products use our plant based veneer from recycled banana plant trunks. Fibandco recycle the trunk (or stem) of the plant once the fruit has been harvested. After bearing fruit, the banana plant naturally dies, for a new plant to grow from the bulb. Hence Fibandco give a second life to a by-product of banana farming. No water is used in the manufacturing of Green Blade®, and the Fibandco factory produces the energy it uses thorough solar photovoltaic panels.

All panels used to make Green Blade® products are FSC certified. The Forest Stewardship Council is an international not for-profit, multi-stakeholder organization established in 1993 to promote responsible management of the world’s forests.
