Bamboo is a known as a large and diverse group of grass with over 1,200 species ranging in all sizes. Bamboo offers one of the ecologically viable choices to standard timber construction today and a viable replacement for wood in the future.
Bamboo grade-A material is only available in approximately 5+ years compared to many hardwoods which may require 50+ years to mature to harvestable age. Bamboo grass is stronger in tensile strength superior to mild steel with stands up to 52,000 pounds of pressure PSI, and bamboo is one of the fastest growing species around which grows up to three feet a day with maximum height of 90 feet .
Unlike trees, bamboo harvest does not kill bamboo forest, or create soil erosion. Bamboo forest does not require replanting. Mature bamboo has an extensive root system that continues to send up new shoot for decades, so harvesting does not harm the plant.

Bamboo is an innovative product for Global environmental solution to home, office and interior designers. Bamboo products are the naturally beautiful as well as environmentally friendly alternative to our dwindling global supply of hardwoods.
