Benefits of Using Bamboo
Eco Friendly
Bamboo is a substitute for nature’s endangered rainforest hardwoods. It’s versatile, smooth, and harder than oak. It can be split into different sizes and lengths. Remember Bamboo is grass not a tree so when harvesting Bamboo you are merely cutting the grass not chopping down trees.
Highly Sustainable
Depending on the species, bamboo can be harvested in one to five years. Hardwoods like oak take at least forty years to mature before they can be harvested. Almost 1 million acres of forests are lost each week worldwide to deforestation. Bamboo's versatility as a substitute for hardwoods offers a chance to drastically reduce that figure and protect the forests that we have left.
FSC Certified
Being FSC certified shows that you comply with the highest social and environmental standards on the market. Public concern about the state of the world’s forests and timber resources is increasing, and FSC provides you with a credible solution to complex environmental and social issues.
Stronger than Wood
Bamboo can replace the use of wood for nearly every application. Paper, flooring, furniture, charcoal, building materials, and much more can be made from bamboo. What's more, bamboo fibers are far stronger than wood fibers.
Tougher than Wood
Bamboo fibers are far stronger than wood fibers. Bamboo is commonly used as a substitute for wood flooring so is very tough and durable.
Resistant to Temperature Change
Much less likely to warp from changing atmospheric conditions. Due to the manufacturing process along with Bamboo's natural resistance, it is much less likely to be affected by humidity or temperature changes.
Beautiful Finish
Consistent colouring throughout means that each component is the same colour and texture as the next. This means that when the finished product is treated with oil or lacquer or stain it will produce a consistent finish throughout.
Can be Painted or Stained
Bamboo can be painted, stained, or Oiled. There is a wide selection of finishes available to finish the Bamboo including eco-friendly water-based paints and lacquers as well as natural oils that can be used to enhance the natural beauty of Bamboo
