Bamboo Benchtops

Bamboo is a strong and an aesthetically pleasing building material that can be declared as the choice of 21^st century due to a number of reasons. Bamboo is an ecologically friendly species of plant that grows at an amazing rate. Some varieties of bamboo can grow as fast as 12 inches per day. Another quality of bamboo is that it can re-grow from the rhizomes left in the ground after its harvest. Thus, the sustainability and the renewability of bamboo ensure that there will be a constant supply of bamboo wood in the market for the building projects. This, in turn, discourages the cutting of rainforests on a large commercial scale.

Bamboo is twice as hard as Maple and is moisture resistant. Not only can it tolerate the attacks of insects and pathogens, but it also makes a hypoallergenic choice. Bamboo is composed of complex fibers with a beautiful grain pattern that add elegance and beauty to your home. There are different products such as floors, decks and benchtops that can be made from bamboo.

A benchtop makes a smart and modern approach to your home design.  It is one of the most used surfaces in your kitchen. The nodes on the bamboo boards and their natural blonde and caramel colour add warmth and natural glow to your kitchen. Not only is a bamboo benchtop highly resistant to daily wear and tear, but it also performs well in extreme weather conditions and lasts a lifetime. As compared to marble benchtops that can become extremely cold in winter, bamboo bench tops have the amazing tendency to remain warm in winter. Unlike wooden benchtops that are quite susceptible to marks and can’t withstand heat, bamboo benchtops are less likely to get damaged by heat and heated products. Moreover, they are quite resistant to the attacks of ants, bugs and termites.

Besides being extremely practical, ecologically friendly and durable, bamboo bench tops are very cost-effective and pocket-friendly. The moisture resistance attribute of bamboo makes a bamboo benchtop a perfect choice to install in your kitchen even near a sink. As compared to wooden bench tops that can easily warp or crack in the rainy season due to high humidity levels, bamboo benchtops will continue to perform well in humid conditions. Another great thing about bamboo benchtops is that they can easily withstand high pressure and are quite resistant to indentations and scratches.

Bamboo benchtops can easily be managed and cleaned. All you need to do is to clean your bench top with a soft cloth or towel to maintain its stunning looks. If there is a large build up of dust and dirt on your kitchen bench top over the years, you can easily re-sand and re-varnish it to get a spectacular looking kitchen again.
