The environment of bamboo decking
Bamboo has a short grow cycle of 4-6 years, thus being the reason why many environmentalists are recommending it over traditional wooden decks. It absorbs more carbon dioxide than a tree in a much shorter amount of time while growing - which makes it a VERY green building material. Due to its durability and high strength & flexibility many environmental activists are actually pushing to increase the popularity of bamboo in construction for this very reason, such like flooring, wall cladding, ceiling, fencing , cabinetry, tabletop, street bench and so on.
It is kindly noted that the adhesives used in making strand woven bamboo are quite friendly to the environment. They pose no risk at all to people when using the decking - the actual manufacturing process is also green. REBO bamboo products use the phenolic resin, which is widely used in food package, so it is very safe .At the meantime we have done the test of "Reach" too.
Whether opting for bamboo or any other material, homeowners can transform even the smallest of gardens and patios into a well maintained outdoor space meant for entertaining and relaxing by adding a deck.
So is bamboo decking any good? Well it depends on where you live. If you are in a cold area then it is almost certainly yes, then if your local climate is reasonably dry in most of the year then bamboo cannot be beaten on price, durability, and in my opinion - attractiveness.
