Although the bamboo species “Moso” is formally not a wood but a grass, it has excellent “hardwood like” characteristics: it is very hard and durable. Combined with the high stability (little shrink & swell) it is the perfect raw material for MOSO bamboo flooring. Bamboo is an ‘endless’ resource: it grows very fast (up to 1 meter per day!) and as only the older stems are harvested, the younger bamboo receives more space for growth providing a higher yield. Because of its unique growing speed, combined with efficient production, MOSO bamboo actually absorbs more CO2 than it releases during production...
