Compressed Board
As the old saying goes "to many chiefs and not enough Indians" many flooring companies today pose a problem of having too many managers overseeing and not enough actual work taking place.Here at Simply Bamboo we pride ourselves in being able to keep our prices competitively low by not having too many managers like some companies which pass that extra cost onto you.We have a Manager overseeing our retail showroom and sales, and a Manager that oversees all the flooring installations and is not scared to also do a hard days work himself.We offer an engineered compressed board which is comparably the same quality and make as a major competitor of ours in Perth. On the contrary to what has been said this board is NOT patented and we offer it at a more competitive price due to our lower overheads. So dont be fooled by big flashy showrooms and smooth talking sales people because at the end of the day you dont want to be indirectly paying for their high overheads and unnecessary Managers commissions. That money you save is better kept in your pocket dont you think? Please look at our testimonials from all our happy customers who chose Simply Bamboo because of our honest family business and service.Our Engineered compressed board is made up of compressed top and bottom layer, horizontal cross-laminated centre layer.We also offer our customers a solid compressed board option that comes fully guaranteed. Unlike the engineered compressed bamboo with its cross-laminated centre layer, the solid board is simply a solid piece of compressed material. The solid compressed board is only a 96mm wide board and being a narrower surface distance of the board it does not require a cross layer as the 120mm wide engineered board. It has been proven that both boards can cup regardless it is engineered or solid. Factors to take into consideration are if the moisture content is not suitable for Australia conditions, the sub-floor was not treated with a moisture barrier, the installation of the floor was poorly done or the overall quality of the board was not tested to a certified standard, all be contributing factors to poor performance in these boards� It is true however, solid compressed board is cheaper to manufacture than the engineered compressed boards as it manufactured on a larger scale throughout the world, unlike the engineered compressed which is more labour intensive to make and exported on a considerable smaller scale.
Welcome To Simply Bamboo, your Bamboo Flooring and Furniture Specialist.
Simply Bamboo is a Perth, Western Australian owned and family operated company established in 2004. We originally started manufacturing wholesale custom made furniture and later diversifying into retail furniture and then bamboo flooring supply and installation with much success. This success has been a result of priding ourselves on producing cutting edge solid bamboo furniture and providing a specialist service in the supply and installation of bamboo flooring. The services we provide are honest, professional and reliable guaranteed work as quality and customer satisfaction is very important to us. We offer our customers a varied range of bamboo flooring at competitive prices, and custom made furniture that is modern and simplistic, suiting a variety of home decors. With our custom made furniture service, you can be rest assured that your furniture piece will suit the purpose you have specifically designed it for. At Simply Bamboo we only specialise in bamboo flooring, however if bamboo furniture is not for you, we can offer you various hardwoods such as Marri, Tassie Oak and Jarrah. The bamboo we use to make the flooring and furniture is 5-7 years of age, being the optimal age for the bamboo to have strength and durability for manufacturing materials. As bamboo is a renewable resource unlike traditional timbers such as Marri, Tassie Oak and Jarrah which can take decades to grow and does not regenerate itself naturally, bamboo is a far more superior and eco-friendly choice for both flooring and furniture. We can design and manufacture your custom made furniture from start to finish all here in Western Australia. We feel this gives us an extra advantage over other furniture retailers who only sell either imported pieces or you have to simply purchase pieces from the floor, not being able to change the design to fit your specific needs.
BAMBOO FURNITURE
Bamboo furniture in todays market is very different from the traditional cane settee your Nan or Pop used to sit on a Sunday serving afternoon tea.It has come a long way from the basic cane pole styled construction still used in a lot of Balinese furniture imported today. Not to say that there is anything wrong with this style, but with advanced technology and ingenuity the bamboo cane has been delivered to new heights for those looking for more sophisticated and contemporary designs in furniture.
The bamboo cane has been processed in such a way that is has been created into solid timber sheets specifically manufactured to construct funiture from entertainment units, coffee tables, beds, buffets, dining tables and even kitchens to name a few.
Constructing the bamboo in this way has created a very strong and durable furniture material that outshines some of the more traditional timbers such as Oak and Pine used for the manufacturing of furniture in the past.
The process used to construct this innovative bamboo timber is very similar to the way the bamboo flooring is made, however the sheeting specifically made for furniture is 19mm thick opposed to the flooring which is normally 15mm. The bamboo cane will be cut into strips and boiled to remove sugars and insects, and then some urea-based resin will be added to make them into laminated furniture boards. These boards will then be cut into certain sized sheets and left raw for either staining or finishing by the end user.
With these timber sheets modern and simplistic designed furniture can be created that will suit a variety of decor and homes. Not to mention bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world and once it is cut regenerates itself natural as it has an extensive root system.
Bamboo 5-7 years old is used to produce this fantastic building material as this is an optimal age for strength and durability. Hardwood timber on the other hand takes decades to grow and is not renewable; therefore bamboo is an ideal and environmentally friendly solution for not only flooring but furniture as well.
