    Why is Bamboo Elegance so good?

    Bamboo Elegance has a straight grain ensuring stability and preventing warping and splitting. With clean lines and barefoot friendly, it is the obvious alternative to tropical hardwoods. This product has a rare, luxury finish and is suitable for both domestic and commercial use.

    Bamboo Elegance is a true luxury decking material. This high-quality, ultra-hard bamboo fibre decking is aimed at the premium domestic and commercial markets.

    It has superior resistance to weathering, is highly resistant to water absorption, and has a fire resistance of Euroclass B1 fire – Bf1-s1 (DIN EN 13501-1:2010).

    In fact, by using the aluminium substructure system users can achieve a B Roof T4 classification on podiums and roofs since Bamboo Elegance is fire-rated B1.

    It has a special surface coating creating a rare, rich, more natural appearance than standard thermo bamboo decking with high performance and greater resistance to staining.

    Bamboo Elegance is manufactured with a patented heat treatment which produces a high-density decking board. It has high levels

    Why is Bamboo Elegance so durable?

    Bamboo Elegance has an incredibly straight grain without knots so is unlikely to twist, shear or splinter over a prolonged period.

    Bamboo Elegance is partly manufactured and becomes harder than tropical hardwoods through the thermo process. It is steamed, rather than being dried in a kiln, which removes moisture and sugars from the fibres. This removes bacteria and fungi activity within the fibres, making Bamboo Elegance denser, drier and more rot-proof than tropical hardwoods.

    The bamboo fibres are pressed and glued under heavy to produce a dense, super hard, stable decking board with a specific gravity of 1,200kg/m3. This means Bamboo Elegance has long-term resistance to traffic damage, weathering and fading.

    Bamboo Elegance carries a Class Bf l-s1 fire rating.

    It is rated “Very Durable – Class 1” for biological durability test EN350 / CEN/TS 15083-2, Class 0 for Blue Stain fungal resistance – test EN152 and Class 4 for use – test EN335.
     
    It has a higher mass density than almost all tropical hardwoods.
     

    Bamboo Elegance is suitable for domestic and commercial decking projects including areas subject to high levels of foot traffic. It is ideal for low environmental impact and sustainable projects.

    When using the aluminium joist terrace substructure, the Bamboo Elegance decking system is almost entirely rot-proof due to the high density of the thermo bamboo material.

    Board lengths are 1,850mm x 140mm wide.
