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.

In dry circumstances poles will crack and the bamboo inner wood material, due to its high “sugar”-components, will be easily...

(outdoor decking) MOSO Bamboo X-treme is a solid, high density bamboo board, made from compressed bamboo strips. Bamboo X-treme is suitable for outdoor applications, especially as decking.

installation instruction bamboox-treme (outdoor decking) before installation please note • Water logging under the decking must be avoided by preparing a water permeable ground structure. This can be achieved by sand layers and gravel dispersion above. • There should be cement/stone tiles 4050mm thick, to distribute the pressure of the sub frame. See drawing. • Place a rootbarrier under the tiles to prevent weeds to grow from under the decking. • Install the decking boards with a slope of 1-2% to enable water to run off the surface. • Secure good ventilation of the decking by keeping at least...
