It is strong
Bamboo very well resists mechanical damage. It is even stronger than oak, which is generally considered the hardest hardwood. During lamination, bamboo is almost as strong as soft steel. Bamboo wood, unlike other hardwoods, does not shrink or stretch and is therefore ideal for furniture floors.
It grows fast
Bamboo is not a tree – it is a grass and it grows like one. Many species of bamboo grow up to 60 cm a day. It does not need to be replanted after the harvest, because a new sprout grows from its extensive root system. Bamboo, unlike hardwood trees, which are cut off forever afterwards, renews quickly. Bamboo is an endlessly renewable resource.
It is beautiful
The delicate bamboo grain, natural or amber-toned, is a distinctive and elegant material for the production of high quality furniture and flooring.
It enhances the environment
Farmed bamboo stabilizes the ground with its roots and prevents erosion. It takes in greenhouse gases and is a natural humidifier. It is able to create oxygen and even half as much compared to other trees. In nature, it provides habitat for birds and animals.
It is world-wide and historic
Our bamboo comes from China, but due to its adaptability it can grow in most places on Earth. It is an integral part of the economy and culture, used in cooking, preparation of beverages, paper, houses and bridges. In China, bamboo is known as the “friend of the people”.
