Natural and ecological material

A wooden terrace is popular thanks to its natural appearance and the high-quality image of hardwood. Non-renewable materials, such as WPC or PVC, are used because they offer a long lifespan and require minimal maintenance. Whether you prefer the ecological durability, the stability and quality, the minimal maintenance or the safety, Bamboo X-treme and Bamboo N-durance are more than a fully-fledged alternative to these materials. Bamboo grows extremely fast and is processed in our factory to meet the highest standards. For example, it can withstand thousands of dancing guests around the pool of Ushuäia Club Ibiza in Spain.

Stylish and durable terrace

The company Theune Spa Management aims to build modern and advanced wellness facilities, where quality comes first. Outside, where the deck boards are exposed to the weather without protection, the demands on the material are very high. This is why the company tested Bamboo X-treme well before making the decision to install 2,500 m² of decking at Vabali Spa in Berlin. Years later, Vabali Spa sites in Hamburg and Düsseldorf were also equipped with terraces made of the sustainable and ecological material.

Extremely stable and durable

Moso bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth. The bamboo stems grow from an underground root system and after 4-5 years a stem can be harvested, while the others continue to grow. Each year new shoots sprout from the root system. This means the bamboo can be used without harming the forest. After harvesting, the Moso bamboo stems are split and the outer and inner skins are removed. By modifying the bamboo strands with a special Thermo-Density (Bamboo X-treme) or Outdoor-Density (Bamboo N-durance) process, the dimensional stability of bamboo is improved by about 50%. The heat-treatment (X-treme) or steam-pressure treatment (N-durance) provides the highest durability class possible. The material is stronger and harder than almost any other hardwood.

"Maintenance costs may increase disproportionately if poor materials are used. We have installed no less than 2,500 m² of decking, a considerable amount. By choosing bamboo instead of tropical wood, or any other classic material, we can contribute to the protection of natural resources. MOSO^® Bamboo X-treme is optically very stylish and has the best certifications."

Markus Theune, Director of Theune Spa Management

A low-maintenance and durable terrace

Maintenance-free decks do not exist in combination with a long service life. Under the influence of users and weather conditions, every terrace becomes dirty and the material will weather. Bamboo X-treme is a low maintenance product. The boards have a brown to dark brown colour when installed, which becomes lighter a few weeks after installation. The discolouration does not affect the quality and stability of the boards, the surface becomes only slightly rougher. Without maintenance, the material will become completely grey as a result of UV radiation (comparable to most other types of wood).

MOSO Bamboo X-treme fulfilled all the requirements, not only in terms of sustainability but also for its high durability and resistance

In addition to periodic cleaning, we recommend annual maintenance of the pre-oiled decking with Woca maintenance products. Unfinished decking must be treated with a suitable waterbased oil or saturator immediately after installation, for which Sikkens is recommended. Annual maintenance and cleaning should be performed using a cleaner and silicium carbid brush or broom.
