“Cutek Bamboo” Excellent Preservative for Bamboo Decking

Bamboo decking makes a great addition to any home. It is both aesthetically pleasing and durable, bamboo decking will enhance the value of your home and performs well in drastic weather conditions. It is a forest-friendly, easy-to-clean decking choice that can withstand the wear and tear of daily life. 

Bamboo regenerates at least 10 times faster than traditional hardwoods. It can reach heights well over 70 feet in just 4-6 years. Timbers, on the other hand, need 60 to 100 years to hit their full maturity. Thus, using bamboo in the building projects helps save our already compromised rainforests. Left to its own devices, bamboo regenerates without plantation of seedlings and application of synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides.

Bamboo decking is as strong, durable and flexible as other composite decking and can handle enormous pressure per each square inch. Furthermore, bamboo decking is highly resistant to moisture and it doesn’t swell or shrink in response to changes in the humidity levels when Cutek Bamboo is used.

The durability, dimensional stability, mould and fungal resistance, and moisture tolerance of bamboo decking are further enhanced by the application of Cutek Bamboo over the bamboo planks. Cutek Bamboo is a highly effective wood preservative that is manufactured in the New Zealand and Australia, and distributed worldwide. This unique product enables the use of bamboo as a laminated hardwood outdoors for screening and decking.

There are certain features of Cutek that help it stand tall among other wood preservatives available on the market. Cutek Bamboo can be used for both interior and exterior applications and on any species of timber including softwood, hardwood and bamboo. It can be easily and quickly applied over a wide variety of surfaces made of wood or rattan such as garage doors, weatherboards, fascia, beams, shutters, decking, outdoor furniture and joinery. The two coat system of Cutek makes it an effective preservative to give a long-lasting effect.

Another unique feature is that it is highly resistant to the attack of fungus and mould and provides gas and liquid phase water repellence. Moreover, it deeply penetrates bamboo to help control splitting, warping, and cupping, thus assisting with dimensional stability of bamboo decking. It is very easy to use and you don’t need to hire the services of a professional to get the job done. If you have to recoat your Bamboo with Cutek in future, then no stripping or sanding would be required. All you need to do is to simply wash your Deck.  

The Cutek-Bamboo oil once applied to the bamboo has a build up effect. Our oil system stays mobile for very long periods of time and actually seeks out raw substrate to infuse with oil. This will take place as long as the bamboo is dry as water and film coatings will be a barrier to free diffusion. The blue used in the manufacture of strand woven bamboo decking can act as a barrier but Cutek will go in and around the glue to penetrate into the bamboo.

Attention to coating with Cutek Bamboo within the first 12 months will help build up sufficient resin to made a very durable natural decking material. Every new maintenance coat is replenishing new protective resin while introducing much needed surface preservation that the bamboo required to inhibit mould-fungi growth.

Last but not the least; Cutek Bamboo is available in a wide range of natural colour tones to match your taste and design profile of your home.
