The worlds first engineered bamboo dimensional lumber has arrived: Lumboo™ brought to you by Cali Bamboo. Replace traditional dimensional lumber with a stronger more durable wood that is also green and affordable.
Lumboo™ the worlds first engineered bamboo dimensional lumber is made from 100% compressed bamboo. Large bamboo poles are shredded into strips and configured into a matrix optimized for structural integrity. Once the bamboo matrix is built a low VOC resin is added and the bamboo is placed into a hydraulic press which compresses the material at several hundred thousand pounds of force. The result is an extremely dense bamboo block and is nearly indestructible. The bamboo block is then milled and sanded into the world’s first dimensional bamboo lumber: LumBoo™
Lumboo™ is so close to traditional lumber** that from a distance you will not be able to tell the difference. But upon further examination you will see a very big difference!
Density: Lumboo™ is dimensionally smaller but still heavier and stronger
Strength: So dense you will not be able to nail into Lumboo™, you must pre-drill and use screws
Termite resistance: The high silica content of bamboo cannot be digested by termites
**Consult with an expert or your local city ordinance code before using any building product for structural purposes.
