Why Bamboo
Bamboo is grass: Botanically, bamboo is not wood, but a 'grass' that grows very fast. It
could be said that bamboo is the fastest growing
plant on earth. Some species could grow 30 to
50cm per day in growing season. It needs some
time to mature and get enough hardness and
density (normally for quality bamboo veneer,
panels and worktops, it needs older bamboo than
5 years).
The most amazing feature of bamboo is its
self-replenishing characteristic. This shows its
grass nature. After being harvested, bamboo needs to be treated timely to get sugar out,
sterilized and dried.
Ideal alternative to wood: Bamboo, with self-replenishing characteristic and fast growing
ability offers an excellent alternative to wood. Choosing bamboo could save forest.
We only use MAO Bamboo (Phyllostachys Pubescens) which has ideal physical
properties. MAO Bamboo has big diameter, fine
color, grain and density which are comparable to
hardwood and very suitable for industry
application.
The key factor to have bamboo be ideal
alternative to wood is its excellent mechanical
workability. Mature bamboo produced well could
get excellent wood-similar characteristics. For
example, bamboo is harder than oak, also it has
very minimal tendency to swell or shrink.
