At amaZulu, we love bamboo in all its forms. Bamboo can be used for all kinds of building projects, whether residential or commercial. In both cases. you have the option to incorporate natural or faux bamboo (also known as artificial bamboo). As experts on the subject, we believe in artificial bamboo for its many attributes.
Artificial bamboo shouldn’t be used for structural purposes since it doesn’t have the strength of natural bamboo timber. Instead, it can be used to sleeve structural poles and I-beams to keep your environment looking and feeling tropical. This is key for resort and hotel projects in particular.
If you’re looking for an exotic and tropical addition to your residential or commercial property, faux bamboo can be applied as a simple solution to cover metal fence posts. It’s isn’t necessary to remove and replace your chain link fencing as faux bamboo is a perfect aesthetic complement to the original fence’s structural soundness.
Faux bamboo and artificial bamboo can be used indoors or outdoors, and if it’s coated with a marine grade finish, it won’t crack or split in extreme weather conditions. Certain climates aren’t friendly to natural bamboo, and in those cases, faux is best. Like natural bamboo, faux bamboo poles can be coated with a protectant to prevent sun bleaching.
Faux bamboo is ideal for projects that demand uniform materials. Artificial bamboo is also referred to ask PVC bamboo as it is made from PVC and the manufacturing can completely control its uniformity. Natural bamboo will taper and has some curves, whereas faux bamboo can be created to be all one diameter and straight. The thin walls allow for the poles to cover wires, pipes, cords, and loose cables. The artificial bamboo can even be split to snap over support structures and then glued back together.
