How Can Bamboo Balance Beauty And Social Responsibility?

Deforestation and global warming is a major problem that the world is facing and as a citizen of Earth, it is our duty to save our planet. Bamboo ply are chic and even carry better durability than wooden plywood. Since it grows so fast it has a very short cropping cycle of between 4 and 6 years before you can cut it compared to 30-60 years for comparable trees. Thus, bamboo plywood is a great way to use natural material but also contribute a bit to nature as well.

Bamboo is a grass and it grows back very fast and a very eco-friendly choice to make because it is not hard to grow. The plywood made of plywood requires 100 percent renewable bamboo, using adhesives that are both strong and emissions free. It is a great material which can last really long and even better than wood at many cases. It can be cut and sanded using conventional woodworking equipment for various uses and applications.

Benefits Of Using Bamboo Material:

·         It is laminated to produce two different surface grains, edge and flat.

·         Plywood made of bamboo comes in both an amber and natural light tone.

·         The edge grain appears as 1/4″ strips and the flat grain appears as 3/4″ strips on the surface of the plywood, then finish-sanded to a smooth 180 grit.

The three combination factors which is ideal for Plywood Bamboo is are color, grain and thickness. These are available in several colors, the three main colors it is found in are natural (blonde), carbonized (brown/honey) and tiger (neopolitan/zebra/marbled) which is a combination of natural and carbonized. Grain is the appearance or texture of the surface of the plywood and amongst them vertical, horizontal and strand woven are the most common ones. Plywood made of bamboo comes in sheets that are as thin as 1/4″ and goes all the way up to 1 & 1/2″ in thickness.

Vertical and horizontal are used most often in modern designs while the strand woven grain looks more like traditional wood. You can even get them custom-stained by your supplier. The 1 & 1/2″ thick panels are most often used for countertops and butcher block type furniture.

Bamboo grows so fast that it can produce 20 times more timber than trees on the same area of land. Bamboo Plywood can be fashioned in various ways to make products such as natural and carbonized plywood with vertical or horizontal grains depending on the manufacturing process. It comes in both an amber and natural light tone and it is laminated to produce two different surface grains, edge and flat.

Bamboo composite produced and traded in the world have the various macroscopic and microscopic characteristics like chemical composition, physical and mechanical properties. A suitable raw material should be inexpensive, fast-growing, easily available having comparable physical and mechanical properties to the wood. Bamboo plywood have been widely used in building applications, such as flooring, ceiling, walls, windows, doors, fences, housing roofs, trusses and rafters.
