Application

Suitable for outdoor applications.

Description

aMbooo® decking boards are made exclusively of highland bamboo from China. The bamboo fibres are compressed with high pressure to form slab blanks, increasing the bulk density from 700 kg/m³ to 1250 kg/m³.


Features and benefits:

  • Superior durability: unlike traditional timber decking, bamboo decking is highly resistant to rot, ensuring long-lasting beauty and functionality.
  • Minimal maintenance: enjoy the convenience of minimal upkeep with a staining requirement of only once every 3–5 years, keeping the decking looking fresh and vibrant with minimal effort.
  • Dimensional stability: exceptional performance with very low thermal expansion, ensuring the decking remains stable and secure through varying weather conditions.
  • Sustainable choice: Bamboo is a rapidly renewable resource, capable of re-growing up to one meter per day, making the decking an eco-friendly option without compromising on quality.
  • Versatile design: featuring double-sided boards, the decking offers versatility and flexibility in design, allowing for creative and personalized installations.
  • Eco-friendly composition: made from 100% bamboo, it is free from plastics and ceramics, ensuring an environmentally responsible product that leaves no trees cut down in the manufacturing process.
  • Hard-wearing and long-lasting: built to withstand the test of time, it is exceptionally hard-wearing, providing a durable surface that endures heavy foot traffic and outdoor elements.
  • Installation flexibility: compatible with timber, bamboo, or aluminium joists, offering versatile installation options to suit requirements.
  • Safety and comfort: with a Class B fire rating and slip-resistant surface, it ensures a safe and comfortable outdoor environment.
  • The resin content is 7–8%, the bamboo fibre content is 92–93%.
  • Boards can be attached invisibly with a clip or visible with a direct screw connection.
