Is Bamboo Decking Any Good? Here's Why BAMBOOHOOD^® Stands Out

If you're researching outdoor decking materials, you've probably wondered: Is bamboo decking actually worth it? For years, hardwoods like ipe or oak dominated decking choices—but bamboo (especially BAMBOOHOOD^® bamboo decking) is emerging as a smarter, more sustainable alternative. Let's break down why it's not just "good"—it's often better than traditional options.

1. Bamboo Decking Is Incredibly Sustainable (Better Than Hardwood)

First: bamboo is one of the most eco-friendly decking materials on the market. Unlike hardwood trees (which take 20–50 years to mature and die after harvesting), BAMBOOHOOD^® uses bamboo that:

• Matures in 3–5 years (the fastest-growing renewable resource on Earth)
• Regrows without replanting after harvest (no deforestation)
• Absorbs 3x more CO₂ and releases 35% more oxygen than hardwoods (per square meter)

Our BAMBOOHOOD^® decking is also FSC-certified and meets EU REACH standards—so you're choosing a material that cuts your project's carbon footprint and complies with global sustainability regulations.

2. BAMBOOHOOD^® Bamboo Decking Is More Durable Than Hardwood

Don't let "bamboo" fool you: our proprietary high-temperature carbonization + high-pressure lamination process elevates BAMBOOHOOD^® to Durability Class 1 (the highest rating under EU EN 350 standards). That means:

• Resists warping, cracking, and deformation (even in extreme weather: rain, frost, or intense sun)
• Has a density of 1.15-1.20 g/cm³, Higher than most wood species (typically 0.4-0.9 g/cm³).
• Lasts 25+ years 

3. Easy Installation 

Installing BAMBOOHOOD^® decking use end-match system + hidden clip installation. Benefits include:

• Unlimited lengthwise board runs (no unsightly gaps)
• Customizable sizes/finishes (we tailor boards to your project's exact needs)

Our strict quality management system ensures every board is uniform—so you waste less material.

4. Low Maintenance

Maintenance couldn’t be simpler—just a fresh coat of oil every now and then. For new installations, a touch-up every six months keeps the color vibrant; after that, you can reapply as you like, based on your aesthetic preferences. Even if you skip the oiling entirely, the deck will develop a beautiful, weathered natural patina over time.
