Design notes

A golden brown color with a fine grain. The bamboo joints are visible on the surface and break up the grain creating a unique appearance.

Sometimes sheets of this material may not be very flat when we get it from the manufacturer. Unfortunately, this is the nature of material. The inherent tension in the grain of the wood and the way it is constructed means the panels can warp after manufacturing.

Be aware of this when designing for this material. If possible arrange your designs on P1 sized templates.

Grain direction will always run horizontal as drawn on the computer screen.

Typical uses

Cabinetmaking, furniture fittings & linings, Also ideal for commercial and residential interior fittings and linings. Not suitable for exterior use.

Environmental info

Bamboo is 100% renewable.

Adhesives, joints & fastenings

Bamboo panel can be cut and sanded using conventional woodworking equipment and offers excellent dimensional stability. It can also be glued or mechanically fastened using the same materials and fasteners commonly used with wood.

This Amber bamboo material is actually much closer to 2.9mm - 2.98mm rather than 2.7mm. Compared to the Blonde 2.7mm bamboo side by side, this is noticeably thicker.

The colour in the photos are pretty close to the actual material.

Don't forget to think about the grain direction! I did, woops! Grain runs horizontal as mentioned above.

FYI The pieces I received measure 2.8mm thick with my digital calipers, dimensions may vary slightly it seems.
