Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world. It’s no wonder people have been using bamboo as a construction material for hundreds of years. As the use of bamboo continues to increase in popularity, we’ve seen this beautiful, eco-friendly material used for furniture, flooring, fences, and even entire structures.
Bamboo products used for construction must be treated to resist decay and insects. All of the natural bamboo amaZulu, Inc. offers have been pre-treated to withstand insects and a variety of climate conditions. Depending on the wall thickness of the bamboo, it can be used for both decorative and structural projects.
Some construction products made from bamboo
Solid Bamboo Poles
Solid Bamboo Poles from amaZulu, Inc. are available in three different lengths and have the greatest wall thickness of any of our bamboo products. This density prevents the bamboo from splitting during construction and protects it from your climate’s temperatures. Its slightly flexible nature makes it ideal for a variety of projects, from striking architectural accents to tiki bars to fencing.
Bamboo Slats
amaZulu, Inc. Bamboo Slats have been split in half and sanded down, providing a flat surface on one side of the bamboo. This process makes them ideal for covering surfaces in applications that need an island theme. Available in natural color or stained mahogany, our bamboo slats are perfect for covering pre-existing surfaces, such as bamboo ceiling panels, bamboo wall panels, load-bearing beams and more.
Bamboo Paneling
Bamboo Paneling, or Tambour paneling, is similar to bamboo slats, as it can easily be applied to any pre-existing surface. Bamboo paneling is created from cutting bamboo into 1/2”-wide strips and applying them to a drop cloth. This manufacturing technique allows the bamboo paneling to be rolled which reduces shipping costs. amaZulu, Inc. bamboo paneling is available in two colors, natural and mottled.
