Bamboo

Bamboo is a natural composite material with a high strength-to-weight ratio. Bamboo can be cut and laminated into sheets and planks. This process involves cutting stalks into thin strips, planing them flat, and boiling and drying the strips; they are then glued, pressed and finished. Products made from bamboo laminate, include flooring, cabinetry, furniture and decorations.
