The new bamboo
For cladding, decking, flooring and more, Plantation Bamboo offers high-performance, eco-friendly alternatives.
With showrooms in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland, Plantation Bamboo has a wide range of sustainable and durable bamboo building materials.
In New Zealand, bamboo can be used for many parts of the building process, such as flooring, decking, cladding, interior panelling and more. It has many benefits and a refined aesthetic that works well with both contemporary and traditional styles.
Plantation Bamboo’s X-treme cladding and X-treme decking are strong, solid, high- density exterior bamboo planks made from compressed strand-woven bamboo.
A special heat treatment during the manufacturing process provides X-treme products with the highest durability class possible, making them well-suited for the harsh New Zealand sun and environment.
Plantation Bamboo’s interior products are also stable and durable – despite its fast growth, bamboo is incredibly hardy.
The interior bamboo joinery panels are cross-laminated to ensure long-lasting strength and stability. They are so versatile, they can be used to make almost any internal joinery, cabinetry, furniture and more. Bamboo flooring options are ideal for high-traffic areas in both residential and commercial settings.
As well as durability and distinctive good looks, bamboo products have many other benefits.
The giant bamboo species, Moso, is the world’s fastest-growing plant – it can be harvested in just a few years, and then it regenerates naturally. It produces more oxygen than trees, it minimises CO2 emissions and, happily, it is panda-friendly as it is not a type they eat.
Bamboo is highly resistant to fungi and microorganisms, it’s hypoallergenic, doesn’t require chemical treatments, and the finished products are generally very low maintenance and easy to install.
Best of all, bamboo alternatives are an affordable option. It all adds up to a standout range for those undertaking environmentally conscious new builds or renovations but don’t want to compromise on strength, resilience, appearance or ease of use.
