Description
The BAMBOO option is ‘strand woven bamboo’ – also referred to as heavy bamboo.
This is where the bamboo is manufactured with extreme temperature and pressure, then carbonised making the finished materials temperature resistant and incredibly strong.
Here’s what to like about the heavy bamboo for your stables.
Eco Friendly – the bamboo it is manufactured from has rapid growth, so it can be harvested every 5 – 7 years, making for a sustainable material – complete with a utilisation rate of over 90%.
Long Lasting – Your product will last in excess of 20 years. The glue process used, using the natural resins makes for a product that will not only last for in excess of 20 years, you will not need preservatives to stop it rotting.
Tough – This product has a density of 1.2g/cm3, with an impact toughness above 17320N. It is also highly resistant to abraison.
Emission – People are rightly more aware of formaldehyde emission from manufactured products, and this machined bamboo is lower than the national standards of Europe and the USA. It always comes in lower than 0.2mg/L.
Weatherproof – Being both anti UV and highly hydrolytic resistant, the worst of the weather will not spoil heavy bamboo stables. This material has a thickness swelling rate of water absorption of 0.4% in 34 hours! (the EU standard is <2%).Aso available in plastic 28mm  – This product has a density to the TO ISO 1183-1 standard, and has a strength at break rating to 2058.9 N, and a hardness measurement to TO ISO 2039-2 standard.
Weatherproof – The liquid absorption is very low in plastic products, less than 0.3% in this case.
