We have our own processing criteria and spare no expense to assure our clients the best material available. We ship any where in the world please call us for more information.
Bamboo The Fastest growing woody plant on this planet.It grows one third faster than the fastest growing tree. Some species can grow up to 1 meter per day. One can almost "watch it grow". Size ranges from miniatures to towering culms of 60 meters or 180 feet.Producing four to five time more bio-mass than trees felled for wood production.
Bamboo is ready for harvesting within 3 to 5 years versus oak, cherry, maple and exquisite rain forest hardwoods, that in some cases, take more than 100years to grow to maturity.
Bamboo is giant grass and Amazingly versatile with a short growth cycle . There are over 1000 species of bamboo on the earth. This diversity makes bamboo adaptable to many environments. Bamboo is capable of tolerating extremes in precipitation. The acceptable range or rainfall is from 30 to 250 inches of rain annually.

Bamboo is on of the strongest building materials in the World. Bamboo's tensile strength is 28,000 per square inch versus 23,000 for steel.
A critical element in the balance of oxygen/carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Bamboo is the fastest growing canopy for the re-greening of degraded areas. Bamboo generates more oxygen than the equivalent stand of trees.

A soil conservation tool. Bamboo has anti-erosion properties that create an effective watershed. The rhizomes stitch the soil together along fragile areas.
A Bamboo plant was the First re-greening in Hiroshima after the atomic blast in 1945.
A critical element of the economy. Bamboo and its related industries already provide income, food and housingto over 2.2 billion people worldwide. There is a 15 year return on investment for a new bamboo plantation versus 25-30 versus teak.
A renewable resource for agro forestry products. Bamboo is a high-yield renewable natural resource. Ply Bamboo is now being used for wall paneling, floor tiles. Bamboo pulp is used for paper making; briquettes and fuel. Bamboo can be used as a Raw material for housing construction and rebar for reinforced concrete beams. It makes great charcoal Hot Bambu
An essential structural material in earthquake architecture. After a powerful earthquake in Armenia Colombia in the 1980's it was discovered the the bamboo structures, although primitive in their architectural nature when compared to concrete and rebar construction , did survive the severe conditions. This phenomenon sparked the interest in Architect Simon Velez and builder/author Marcello Villegas who collectively have built over 300 structures worldwide using Guadua Bamboo . In Limon Costa Rica only the Bamboo houses from the National Bamboo Project stood after the violent earthquake of 1992. Bamboo has been used extensively throughout Latin America as a primary structural element The largest structure over 150000 sq ft in Mexico City by Simon Velez Marcello Villegas.In Limon Costa Rica only the Bamboo houses from the National Bamboo Project stood after the violent earthquake of 1992. Bamboo is sensitive to environmental conditions sun water and humidity, it needs to be built with skill and care for its survival. Bamboo is extremely unstable until preserved and dried and checks naturally.

If you would like to use any of our images please call us or write us as a courtesy we will be happy to know other people in our field.and so long as you don't mind mentioning us we have no problem with using our written materials and Published materials. We have seen a lot of our work borrowed in the 12 years from other bamboo oriented companies, blogger's and architectural sites . Thank You Email
