Product catalog summary
Introduction
MOSO Bamboo X-treme is an eco-friendly alternative to tropical hardwood for outdoor decking, enhanced through a patented process for improved hardness, stability, and durability.
Bamboo Benefits
Bamboo is a renewable resource, and its density-thermo treatment elevates its durability to class 1, suitable for outdoor use without extra treatments. It is CO2 neutral over its lifecycle.
Product Information
Bamboo X-treme is a high-density bamboo board for decking, featuring a symmetrical design for easy installation with either a ribbed or flat surface. It is durable, stable, economical, and aesthetically pleasing.
Accessories
Accessories include MOSO fasteners, screws, sub-frame joists, end profiles, and cleaning tools like silicium carbid brooms and disks.
Reference Projects
Notable projects include Venco Campus in the Netherlands, Hotel Riberach in France, and Lentini’s restaurant in Italy, demonstrating its versatility.
Installation
Installation requires a stable sub-frame, board side selection, and securing with fasteners or screws. Proper ventilation and a slight slope are recommended.
Maintenance & Cleaning
Regular maintenance with WOCA products is advised to prevent greying. Cleaning involves soaking, scrubbing, and oiling, with caution to avoid self-ignition of oil-wetted cloths.
Test Results
Bamboo X-treme has high marks in durability, stability, and fire resistance, classified as Class 1 for biological durability and Class Bfl-s1 for fire safety.

introduction Bamboo on molecular level before (left) and after (right) the density-thermo treatment: before the sugar molecules are still visible, after the treatment they have disappeared. With this treatment bamboo is no longer a feeding place for fungi and micro-organisms. Since centuries bamboo poles and bamboo components are used in outdoor circumstances. Unfortunately many additional protective measurements are needed to guarantee a sufficient and acceptable lifetime. In dry circumstances poles will crack and the bamboo inner wood material, due to its high “sugar”-components, will be easily...
