Your questions about We Do Bamboo, answered

We source bamboo responsibly through: Partnerships with Local Farmers: Collaborating with small-scale farmers in Kenya to support sustainable livelihoods. Sustainable Practices: Ensuring bamboo is harvested at the right maturity (>5 years) for optimal quality and regrowth. Regional Sourcing: Minimizing transportation emissions by sourcing bamboo close to our production facilities. Quality Assurance: Only high-quality bamboo culms that meet our strict standards are selected for production.

We use advanced technology to ensure efficiency and quality in every step of the process: Precision Cutting Machines: For consistent sizing of bamboo strips and fibers. Drying Chambers: Controlled drying to achieve the ideal moisture content for durability and stability. High-Pressure Lamination Equipment: To create strong and stable laminated bamboo boards. Extrusion Technology: Used in the production of Bamboo Plastic Composite (BPC) to form durable decking and cladding materials. Eco-Friendly Adhesive Systems: Ensuring strong bonds with minimal environmental impact.

We prioritize local sourcing, minimize waste, and use recycled materials wherever possible.

The production of a batch of laminated bamboo boards typically takes: Preparation (Harvesting and Stripping): 2–3 days for bamboo culms to be cut, stripped, and prepared. Drying Process: 7–10 days, depending on the moisture content and environmental conditions. Lamination and Finishing: 1–2 days for adhesive application, pressing, and finishing. Total Time: Approximately 10–15 days from raw bamboo to finished laminated boards, depending on batch size and production requirements.

Laminated bamboo undergoes a high-pressure process, ensuring stability and resistance to wear and tear.

The production process of Bamboo Plastic Composite (BPC) involves these key steps: Bamboo Fiber Preparation: Bamboo culms are ground into fine fibers to create a natural reinforcing material. Mixing: The bamboo fibers are combined with recycled plastics and additives to enhance strength and weather resistance. Extrusion: The mixture is heated and extruded through molds to form decking, cladding, or other shapes. Cooling and Cutting: The extruded material is cooled, trimmed to size, and inspected for quality. Finishing: Surfaces are smoothed or textured, and the final product is packaged for distribution.

Yes, BPC is highly resistant to moisture, pests, and UV rays, making it perfect for outdoor use.

Yes, we provide customization options to meet the unique needs of your project: Custom Dimensions: Boards, beams, and panels can be produced in non-standard sizes upon request. Finishes: We offer a range of finishes, including natural, matte, gloss, or stained finishes. Shapes and Profiles: Custom shapes or edge profiles can be created for unique applications. Applications: Whether for furniture, flooring, or construction, we adapt our products to fit your exact requirements.

We take extensive measures to control and optimize moisture content: Controlled Drying: Bamboo strips are dried in specialized chambers to achieve the ideal moisture level (usually 8–12%) before lamination. Sealing: Finished products are sealed to prevent moisture absorption during use. Inspection: Each batch is tested for moisture content to ensure consistency and stability. Adaptation for Climate: Products can be treated to withstand high humidity or dry environments, depending on their application.

We ensure the quality of our bamboo products through: Rigorous Material Selection: Only mature and high-quality bamboo culms are used, sourced from trusted local farmers. Advanced Manufacturing Techniques: State-of-the-art machinery and precise production processes ensure consistent quality. Quality Control Checks: Each product undergoes thorough inspections at multiple stages, including strength, durability, and finish. Testing and Standards Compliance: Products are tested to meet international standards for strength, safety, and sustainability.

Our bamboo products meet or aim to comply with the following certifications: FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council): Ensures the bamboo is responsibly sourced. ISO Standards: Compliance with quality and environmental management standards. Low-VOC Certification: Confirms the use of adhesives and finishes with minimal volatile organic compounds. Carbon Footprint Reduction Programs: Certification for reducing emissions throughout the production process.

Laminated Bamboo: With proper care, laminated bamboo products can last 20–30 years or more in indoor applications. When treated for outdoor use, their lifespan is comparable to or exceeds traditional hardwood. Bamboo Plastic Composite (BPC): BPC products are extremely durable, lasting 25–50 years depending on environmental conditions and proper maintenance.

Yes, our products are designed to resist pests like termites: Laminated Bamboo: The lamination process makes bamboo less appealing to termites and other insects. BPC Products: The combination of bamboo fibers and plastic in BPC materials creates an environment unsuitable for termites and pests. Additional Treatments: Some products are treated with natural or chemical pest repellents to enhance resistance.

Bamboo products are low-maintenance, but regular care ensures their longevity: Indoor Laminated Bamboo: Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Apply a protective finish periodically for furniture or flooring. Outdoor Laminated Bamboo: Reseal or recoat with a UV-resistant finish every 1–2 years to protect against weathering. Keep the surface clean of debris to prevent scratches or discoloration. BPC Products: Simply clean with water and a mild detergent. No need for staining, sealing, or special treatments.
