This results in an aesthetically appealing appearance, plus a reduction in cutting and wastage.īamboo x-treme decking will retain its beautiful, natural appearance for years and the deck will remain flat. Due to the end-matching join, the boards can be laid lengthwise without any gaps. There is hardly any shrinkage, swelling or deformation – unlike most other decking options.īamboo x-treme decking often only requires 3-5% wastage as all boards are straight and uniform in size – some other timber decking options can require 10-30% wastage due to warps in boards, knots in the wood, not being straight, etc.īamboo x-treme decking is pre-oiled (with a clear/non-pigmented WOCA oil) and comes with the stainless steel clip/screw fixings – these can add significant cost with other decking alternatives.Ī unique feature of this decking is the end-matching tongue-in-groove join – the boards snugly fit together at the ends (not feasible with most other decking as they move too much). As the boards are made of thermally modified bamboo strips that are compressed under very high pressure, the material is extremely dense and stable. One of the main advantages of bamboo x-treme decking is its stability.
