The fast growing hardwood alternative
Wood decking is very popular thanks to its natural appearance. Solid bamboo decking is a truly sustainable alternative to wood. MOSO® Bamboo X-treme® decks are made of bamboo strips that are thermally treated and compressed before being made into profiled decking boards. This Thermo-Density® process makes the decks extremely stable, ensuring a durable terrace that has the natural looks of wood decking.
Thanks to the Thermo-Density® treatment, by thermally modifying and compressing the bamboo fibers, Bamboo X-treme® is very stable. Even compared to the hardest wood, the bamboo wood deck is more stable and can be installed without gaps at the end of the boards. The end matched system ensures a straight deck with small, regular spacing between the decking planks. A striking solution which is also easier and faster in the installation process compared to wood.
With the patented Thermo-Density® process, Bamboo X-treme® wood deck is classified in the highest durability class within EU norms for wood*. The density of the bamboo is dramatically increased in the production process which makes the decks very hard. Bamboo has a naturally higher sugar content than wood. With heat treatment, the sugar is removed and this ensures the bamboo is less susceptible to fungi and micro-organisms.
*) Class 1 for EN350 / CEN/TS 15083-2, Class 0 for EN152 and Class 4 for EN335
Bamboo X-treme® decks are technically comparable to or better than (tropical hard-)wood, but being more stable the planks will retain their shape and the X-treme® decks will thus look better than timber decks over time. The appearance is similar to wood: like wood, Bamboo X-treme® will turn grey when exposed to the weather. This creates a natural attractive hardwood look-alike. Consisting of at least 90% fast growing bamboo, the material is a bio-based renewable resource. Moso bamboo grows quickly and matures in 5 years after which it can be harvested. In the case of wood, the tree will die when you harvest, but bamboo, being a grass, will continue to grow through its roots.
MOSO® Bamboo X-treme® decks have been installed in impressive projects like the Meier on Rothschild Tower in Tel Aviv, Iberostar Resorts in Latin America, Vabali Spa Resorts in Germany and the famous Ushuaïa Hotel in Ibiza, Spain. With 6.5 million m² Bamboo X-treme® installed around the world, MOSO® is world leading in bamboo decking. Copies of the original do not offer the same hardness and level of durability, dimensional stability and ecology. With Bamboo X-treme® a full assortment of decking, cladding, fencing and beams is available for landscape architects and garden.
Installing Bamboo X-treme® decking with clips is very easy and quick compared to wood decking with screws. The decks are produced with a standard groove and flat surface on the symmetrically shaped planks. At the time of installation the final decision for a standard groove or flat deck can be made. MOSO® clips make the bamboo deck very easy to install. A clip for screwing the decking onto the sub beams can be placed in the side-groove, making pre-drilling of the decking boards unnecessary. This saves money and time and the boards look very clean without screws.
