Why choose bamboo furniture

Bamboo furniture has an exotic look that appeals to many. Bamboo furniture can be both outdoor and indoor. Besides aesthetics, bamboo has many other qualities that make bamboo furniture a very good choice.

Properties of bamboo

Bamboo is a fast-growing woody species. It grows 10 times faster than most hardwood species. It is compared to hardwood because it is very hard. Studies have shown that ordinary bamboo is 20% harder than red oak, but there are species even 100% harder.

Another very important characteristic of bamboo is stability. Unlike other woody species it does not change its size due to humidity in the atmosphere, it does not vary in size due to changes in climate. It holds up very well outside in both damp and dry air, making it a very good choice for outdoor furniture.

Bamboo fibre is very strong, very resilient. Bamboo is proven to have a higher tensile strength than steel. Bamboo fibres are used together with glass fibre or other materials to make very strong and stable composite materials. This extraordinary strength is due to the fact that bamboo grows straight and tall without branching. No other species grows this way. Even if it has those joints, they are dense and do not weaken the bamboo's structure.

Uses of bamboo

Bamboo can be used as such to make furniture or panels can be made that are similar to solid wood, but much stronger and tougher. Because of this hardness bamboo panels are used for worktops or kitchen chopping boards. They are very resistant to knife cuts and remain intact even after long use.

Choosing bamboo furniture is an eco choice, a choice green. Bamboo is a natural source that does not need a long time to regenerate. Using it to make furniture, flooring or other wooden objects leads to saving wood from species that take much longer to regenerate.

Add to these advantages the exotic and special look of bamboo furniture. Designers are always striving to create unique designs in attractive colours that can be adapted to all tastes without compromise. Bamboo rod furniture satisfies the taste of the more eccentric, the more extravagant, and bamboo panel furniture can be made in a classic style for the more conservative among us.

I hope these arguments will make you look at bamboo furniture with confidence and think that, besides service made to the planet, make your own, because you will have a very resistant, durable and original piece of furniture.
