Thermo bamboo
Show productsStrictly speaking, thermo bamboo is not wood. But it does have the outstanding qualities of hardwood, and it is a particularly sustainable alternative for the tropical wood varieties that are becoming more and more scarce.
A limitless resource
Gaining up to a metre per day, bamboo is the world’s fastest growing plant. Harvesting takes place after five years – and since it does not harm the rootstock, a new stem emerges in place of the previous one.
Did you know?
With its extremely fast rate of growth and virtually limitless availability, all around the world bamboo is increasingly seen as natural resource with plenty of potential for scaled-up implementation.
From hollow stem to board
Harvested bamboo is sawn into strips and peeled. The strips are then compressed and heat-treated without using chemicals. After the patented thermal treatment, which takes place at 200 °C, bamboo is not only extremely hard and very stable but also completely resistant to mould. Bamboo is a limitless natural resource with countless applications as a building material. Make sure to have a look at our beautiful HOTwood bamboo decking boards in the Bamboo X-treme® collection by Moso®. As shown in the figure below, they are even more durable than the strongest tropical hardwoods.

Thermo bamboo is PEFC and/or FSC® certified.
The extreme stability of the material ensures a very durable bamboo terrace with the natural appearance of hardwood. Moreover, with a warranty of 25 years you can rest assured that our HOTwood bamboo decking boards are guaranteed to last.

Carpentier plants bamboo in Peru
To help protect our planet from the effects of climate change, we are planting trees that will make a real impact.
Through the Go Forest organisation, local people in the Amazonian rain forest of Peru are planting bamboo on our behalf. The favourable climate in the region means that bamboo grows quickly and will soon have a positive impact on biodiversity, CO2 absorption and local economies.
