Bamboo – The Way Forward !

Although technically a grass, bamboo is fast becoming a viable option and great alternative to traditional timber.  At present almost NINETY types (out of an impressive 1,500 species) are used for building and construction.

Producing a hard, wood – like fibre, bamboo is a versatile and sustainable choice for everything from window blinds to luxury furniture and a great deal in between !

A Few Important Bamboo Facts  -                                                                                                                                          
  • Fastest growing plant on earth
  • Produces more oxygen than trees
  • Versatile substitute for hardwood
  • Sustainable and renewable resource
  • Continuously spreads vegetatively
  • Only mature stems are harvested
 
As a Timeline Comparison –
  • Bamboo Forest 2 – 5 years
  • Most Softwoods 10 – 20 years
  • Hardwood ( Like Oak ) 40 years

As the older more established plants grow faster, the MOST sustainable forest can take seven to ten years to produce the highest quality timber, but then every year the same thereafter.
With regard to colour, if the surface is prepared properly bamboo takes colour well with spray giving a much superior finish to brush on.

​Here at  SPRAYCO SURFACE COATING  our ethos is  RE-CYCLE.  UP-CYCLE.  RE-SPRAY.  Add this to using a highly sustainable product like bamboo and it’s a double whammy !
EVERYONE’S A WINNER !!!
