Bamboo is a product that is greatly increasing in popularity because of its durability, attractive colour and strength. It is also unbreakable. Why use plastic, glass or steel when bamboo is available? In the kitchen there are many uses for bamboo products. Bowls and plates of all kinds, condiment cups, cutting boards and serving spoons are only some of the utensils that can be purchased in bamboo.

Bamboo flooring is a great alternative to the more traditional options. It is an excellent choice for allergy sufferers because the finish it comes with is almost solvent free. Tongued and grooved, bamboo can be installed over existing flooring and is termite resistant. And the colour is aesthetically pleasing. Bamboo can also be used in vertical or Venetian blinds.

Outside the home bamboo has many applications. Fences or fencing panels are light, strong and easy to install when made of bamboo. Screens made from bamboo rods can give privacy where needed and protect from the hot summer sun. A gazebo can be made entirely from bamboo, while bamboo rods and stakes to support your flowers and vegetables are strong and light, making them easy to handle. The smooth finish means that you are not as likely to have a splinter jab into your hand when using bamboo for garden stakes.
