Bamboo Thermo Rainscreen Siding

MOSO® Bamboo Thermo Rainscreen Siding is a solid, High Density® thermally modified exterior bamboo board, made from compressed bamboo strips. A unique heat treatment/compression process provides Bamboo Thermo® with the highest durability class possible in the appropriate EU norms, increases the stability and density, and consequently the hardness. This makes it suitable for very demanding applications.

Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on this planet and is an abundantly available building material. Almost all solid MOSO® Bamboo Products have a negative carbon footprint during the product lifespan and are therefore the sustainable alternative to non-renewable materials and scarce tropical hardwood.

Beautifully sustainable façade solution

MOSO® Bamboo Thermo Rainscreen boards are made from the fast growing Moso bamboo, a rapidly renewable resource that not only grows very fast (up to 1 meter a day!) but does not result in deforestation as the plant does not die once the stems have been harvested. Like any wood species, after outdoor exposure, Bamboo Thermo will turn grey over time. A beautiful, natural look will appear providing an elegant appearance.

MOSO® Bamboo Thermo Siding benefits

  • Maintenance free
  • Fire resistant
  • Carbon storage
  • Hard & durable
  • High stability

Cost saving in the long run

After installation, facades with Bamboo Thermo Rainscreen do not require any periodic maintenance at all, which results in huge time and cost savings. Bamboo Thermo Rainscreen withstands temperature changes with hardly any shrinking and swelling. Thanks to the extremely high stability, the boards will stay flat and in place unlike other natural materials. The original characteristics of the material rival the best hardwoods. Just like all hardwoods, bamboo turns grey over time, creating an attractive natural look.

Bamboo for use in Wildland Urban Interface zones

Contrary to other wood products, MOSO® Bamboo Thermo Rainscreen reaches fire safety Class A (ASTM E84). This makes it applicable for buildings with stringent fire safety requirements like apartments, commercial buildings and gas stations, while giving a beautiful natural appearance to the facade.

MOSO® Bamboo Thermo Rainscreen reaches this exceptional fire safety without the impregnation with expensive and eco-damaging fire retardants. This makes the product safe for the environment and for the people who work with it during the production and installation process. Sustainable, safe and beautiful!

Easy installation and maintenance-free

MOSO® Bamboo Thermo Rainscreen is available in 6″ and 7″ widths and Fluted accent siding, which are installed on battens with MOSO® Asymmetric clips. With these special clips, MOSO® offers a complete and sustainable solution for natural and attractive façades. We didn’t invent rain screen, standard installation principles for hardwood rain screen can be followed. The siding requires no periodic maintenance and will naturally age, though the brown colour can also be maintained with an outdoor maintenance oil.

The fastest growing cladding

As we see more and more building façades being created with non-renewable materials, our belief in bamboo as the construction material of the future grows. Moso bamboo stems, which are used for MOSO® Bamboo Thermo Rainscreen, are mature after just 4-5 years. After harvesting, the bamboo plant does not die and no deforestation takes place. On the contrary, the rhizome sprouts new stems even faster. Due to this, bamboo can be harvested annually and a bamboo forest is sustainable and fair trade by default. MOSO® Bamboo Products are the sustainable alternative to tropical hardwood and non-renewable materials.
