The fast growing hardwood alternative
Wood decking is very popular thanks to its natural appearance. Solid bamboo decking is an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to wood. MOSO® Bamboo X-treme® decks are made of bamboo strips that are thermally treated, compressed, and ultimately shaped into profiled decking boards. This Thermo-Density® process increases stability, ensuring a durable terrace that has the natural look of wood decking.
Thanks to the Thermo-Density® treatment, by thermally modifying and compressing the bamboo fibers, Bamboo X-treme® is very stable. Even compared to the hardest wood, the bamboo wood deck is more stable and can be installed without gaps at the end of the boards. The end matched system ensures a straight deck with small, regular spacing between the decking planks. A striking solution which is also easier and faster in the installation process compared to wood.
With the Thermo-Density® process, Bamboo X-treme® wood deck achieves the highest durability class within EU norms* for wood. The density of the bamboo is dramatically increased in the production process which makes the decking very hard. Additionally, bamboo has a naturally higher sugar content than wood. With heat treatment, the sugar is removed and this ensures the bamboo is less susceptible to fungi and micro-organisms.

Because Bamboo X-treme® decks are more stable than tropical hardwood decks, the planks retain their shape, and the X-treme® decks look better than timber decks over time. Similar to wood, Bamboo X-treme® will turn grey when exposed to the weather. This creates a natural and attractive hardwood look-alike. Consisting of at least 90% fast growing bamboo, the material is a bio-based renewable resource. Moso bamboo grows quickly and matures in five years after which it can be harvested and still continue to grow. Contrarily, hardwood trees are very slow growing and die when harvested. Being a grass, bamboo continues to grow through its roots.
You can find MOSO® Bamboo X-treme® decks installed on some of the world’s most impressive projects such as the Meier on Rothschild Tower in Tel Aviv, Iberostar Resorts in Latin America, Vabali Spa Resorts in Germany and the famous Ushuaïa Hotel in Ibiza, Spain. With 43 million ft² of Bamboo X-treme® installed around the world, MOSO® is the global leader in bamboo decking. Competitors do not offer the same hardness and level of durability, dimensional stability and ecology. With Bamboo X-treme® a full assortment of decking, cladding, fencing and beams is available for landscape architects and garden.
Installing Bamboo X-treme® decking with our unique clips is quick and easy compared to wood decking with screws. The symmetrically shaped planks are profiled with a standard groove on one side and smooth surface on the other. At the time of installation, you can decide which deck surface you prefer, standard groove or smooth. MOSO® clips make the bamboo deck very easy to install. A clip screwed into the sub beams fits neatly in the board’s side-groove, making pre-drilling unnecessary. This saves money and time and aesthetically, produces a a cleaner look without screws.
