Our bamboo products coordinate with neutral design aesthetics and popular wood furniture.
How does bamboo compare to wood or metal?
• Bamboo ranks highest for resistance to denting and wear—above Hard Maple, White Oak and Teak.
• Bamboo is a renewable resource that grows quickly and sequesters carbon, unlike metal which produces carbon.
• Bamboo has a higher tensile strength than metal. This means that if you pull on a piece of bamboo and a piece of metal, it will take more force to break the bamboo.
• Bamboo is easy to care for; just wipe down with soap and water.
Bamboo Facts
• Bamboo is a renewable resource because it is actually a member of the grass family, even though it is typically mistaken as a tree. When you harvest a shoot of bamboo, the root system does not die, like a tree would during some types of logging practices.
• Bamboo grows back from its stump and is extremely fast growing, up to 3 ft or 1 meter a day.
• Bamboo can be harvested every 4-5 years, compared to over 50 years for teak, for example.
products have a lifetime warranty.
