Bamboo Decking
The new generation in decking
The solid bamboo decking boards MOSO®Bamboo X-treme® are made from compressed, thermally treated bamboo strips. Bamboo X-treme® is suitable for outdoor applications, especially decking. The extreme stability of the material ensures a very durable bamboo terrace, with the natural appearance of hardwood.
The beautiful and sustainable decking solution
The decking board collection has many characteristics similar to (tropical) hardwood. However, the boards are made from the fast-growing Moso bamboo, a rapidly renewable resource that not only grows very fast (up to 1 meter per day!) but does not result in deforestation after harvesting, as the plant does not die when the stems are harvested. Like any hardwood species, when exposed to the weather, Bamboo boards will turn grey over time. A beautiful, natural look will appear that is similar to weathered hardwood.
Bamboo with the highest durability class
A unique heat treatment process, called Thermo-Density®, provides the bamboo with the highest durability class possible within the appropriate EU norms*. The Thermo-Density® process modifies and removes sugar molecules that are naturally present in untreated bamboo. With this treatment, bamboo is no longer a food source for fungi and microorganisms. Furthermore, the process increases the density – making the bamboo planks very hard.
More stable than any hardwood
Bamboo decking is very stable, as a result of the thermo treatment combined with High Density® compression of the bamboo strips. Even many years after installation, Bamboo boards stay straight, as many reference projects show. The boards are more stable than any tropical hardwood and, therefore, can be produced with an end-matched system. That is why the installation can be done without gaps between the ends of the boards, which not only looks very appealing but is also much faster and easier to install compared to non-profiled decking boards.
Install decking quickly & economically
Thanks to the special symmetrical shape of the sides, the Bamboo. The decking boards offer the possibility to choose between either the standard groove or the flat surface of the plank. With the MOSO® Fasteners installing the deck is quick and easy. The clips are placed in the grooves at the sides and screwed into the sub-beams. With these hidden deck fasteners, it is not necessary to pre-drill the decking boards. In addition to Bamboo sub frame joists,
Natural greying or maintained
Bamboo is a natural product, which can vary in colour, grain, and appearance. The colour will change over time depending on the maintenance schedule. The boards have a brown to dark brown colour when installed, which turns into a lighter caramel colour in the weeks after installation. Without further maintenance, the colour will turn grey as a result of UV radiation (similar to most other wood species).
