MOSO® Bamboo N-durance® is a cladding material made from massively compressed strips of Moso bamboo, designed specifically for exterior applications. Through a specialised Outdoor-Density® production process, the bamboo fibres are subjected to high pressure and heat, resulting in exceptional stability, durability, and hardness. The material undergoes a steam-pressure treatment that naturally caramelises the bamboo, producing a warm, rich caramel tone without the need for artificial staining. To enhance its appearance and weather resistance, the surface is finished with a Sikkens Cetol WF 771 Savanna coating, giving the material a lighter, refined amber colour that, over time, gracefully weathers to a natural grey.
Bamboo N-durance® achieves the highest durability class according to European standards and offers outstanding fire safety performance, reaching a B-s1-d0 classification under EN 13501-1 without the need for additional chemical fire retardants. The material’s density of approximately 1200 kg/m³, combined with a Brinell hardness rating of about 9.5 kg/mm², ensures that it is highly resistant to mechanical damage and suited for long-term outdoor use with minimal maintenance. The cladding boards are precision-profiled with smooth surfaces, tongue-and-groove joints at the ends, and bevelled edges, facilitating secure and visually seamless installations.
The underlying resource, Moso bamboo, matures within four to five years and regenerates from its existing root system after harvesting, enabling annual harvesting without contributing to deforestation. This rapid renewability, combined with the material’s capacity to store carbon, positions MOSO® Bamboo N-durance® as a sustainable and environmentally responsible alternative to tropical hardwoods and non-renewable materials. Its natural beauty, high performance, and minimal ecological footprint make it a compelling choice for contemporary façade projects seeking both aesthetic distinction and environmental integrity.
