Looking for an alternative to Boring Beech Worktops? Caramel Bamboo is very similar in hue but in our opinion much more durable due to the nature of the wood itself. Once bamboo has gone through a caramelisation process an extraordinary caramel colour is produced. Caramel Bamboo worktops provide an extremely hardwearing, durable, naturally water resistant surface that is completely sustainable. Rather than being constructed from solid staves of timber, caramel bamboo worktops are created from compressed individual sections that are layered on top of each other. Bamboo has a mostly straight grain pattern, that is neatly separated with random nodes to add unique character. The nodes are accentuated during the caramelisation process which creates strong figuring.
Bamboo is one of the most sustainable building materials ever! Unlike most timber species, that take several decades to reach full growth, Bamboo is harvested every 5-6 years, and more shoots are quickly replanted.
