Uses for Bamboo in Sustainable Building
When you’re considering potential building materials for home
construction as a society we tend to focus on two or three commonly utilized
and widely accepted building materials: wood, stone or concrete. What you may
not realize is that bamboo solutions can be used for much more than just food,
musical instruments, medicine, paper and textiles. Uses for bamboo can also
include building construction, both in exterior and interior design elements.
Widely used in Asian, Pacific Islander and Central and
Southern American cultures, bamboo is a sustainable and sturdy building
material. Unlike wood, bamboo (a member of the grass family) regenerates very
quickly. It is, in-fact, one of the fastest growing plants in the world, with
the fastest growth rate reaching 100cm in a 24-hr period.
There are also a number of other benefits to choosing bamboo
solutions over wood including:
Strength and Durability: Bamboo is heartier than oak and
stronger than steel. It is flexible and lightweight, and is water-resistant,
minimizing the risk for warping and
Affordability: It is easily grown and harvested, making it
one of the most cost effective construction materials available.
A minor setback to implementing the use of bamboo in
construction projects arises due to the locations where bamboo flourishes the
heartiest. Bamboo thrives in the tropical regions of the world, which can raise
prices due to importing costs. Although farmers are capable of growing
bamboo in nearly every climate, creating and maintaining a viable bamboo source
requires copying an environment that will allow this sustainable building
source to grow and thrive year-round.
As Popular Mechanics writer, Harry Sawyers explains:
“Bamboo has come into vogue as a green, sustainable
resource that’s used for everything from cutting boards to clothing to wood
floors. But until now, almost all of the bamboo in products sold here has come
from overseas. That could change soon, as new planting techniques may lead to
millions of new acres of bamboo shoots in the American South.” Some wonder if a
plant like bamboo can revitalize farmland on the Mississippi Delta.”

WHY CHOOSE BAMBOO PRODUCTS?
Bamboo is actually a
tropical grass, with an extensive root system that sends out an average of four
to six new shoots per year, naturally replenishing itself and growing to
heights of 50 feet or more. Some bamboo species grow up to 4 feet per day and
can be harvested every 3 to 4 years. As a result, bamboo is one of nature's
most sustainable resources since it is naturally regenerative.
Bamboo is a plentiful,
renewable natural product with many remarkable characteristics, such as:
• Softness - Softer than
the softest cotton, Bamboo fabric has a natural sheen to the surface and feels
similar to silk or cashmere.
• Comfortable - Bamboo
fabric absorbs water 3-4 times better than cotton, keeping skin comfortable,
rather than sticky, in hot weather. The fabrics stay 2-3 degrees cooler in hot
temperatures and warmer in cold temperatures. Bamboo apparel is thermal
regulating, anti-fungal, anti-static and will keep you cooler, drier, warmer
and odor free.
• Appearance - Bamboo
looks like expensive Pima or Egyptian cotton and drapes like silk. It has less
shrinkage than cotton and does not pill. It has been described as feeling like pure
cashmere.
• Protective and
Hygienic - Unlike other anti-microbial fabrics, which require a chemical
treatment, organic Bamboo fiber clothing is naturally anti-microbial requiring
no added harmful chemicals. It contains an agent, "bamboo kun", that
prevents bacteria from cultivating on it.
• UV Protection - Bamboo
fiber fabrics have natural UV protection. There have been tests where companies
have sent out 100% bamboo clothing to research laboratories for UV protection
testing. The UPF label rate is 15. The fabric scored 18.3 on the UPF scale with
94.15% UVA block and 93.17% UVB block.
* The UPF system was
created especially for sun protective fabrics. UPF measurements of fabrics are
generally tested by spectrophotometer equipment and are not tested using human
subjects. The UPF rate indicates how much of the sun's UV radiation is absorbed
by the fabric. The advantage of the UPF standard is that both UVB and UVA are
measured.
• Natural and
Chemical-Free – Bamboo is grown without using pesticides or chemical
fertilizers. Bamboo fiber is 100% biodegradable.
The many uses and
benefits of bamboo continue to increase as individuals turn to organic,
eco-friendly products. One area seeing tremendous growth is bamboo baby
clothing. Parents are realizing the benefits of organic products to both their
baby’s health and to the environment, and bamboo baby clothes are an ideal fit.
Bamboo is perfect next
to babies delicate skin because it is naturally hypoallergenic, and
anti-bacterial, preventing odor, allergies and skin irritations. In addition,
it is thermal regulating, which is important since babies have a hard time
regulating body temperature when first born. With all the positive benefits to
your baby and the environment, why wouldn’t a parent be excited about this
great new product line?

Bamboo Products and its benefits
Bamboo is one of the most versatile resources available,
offering a high-quality alternative to many materials that have traditionally
been more familiar to consumers. It is also a resource that is poised to do
tremendous good for the world in an era of severe ecological degradation and
escalating threats from global warming, wherein more and more consumers are
developing a deeply-rooted environmental conscience and bringing it to bear on
their buying decisions. Bamboo represents the best that a green lifestyle has
to offer: its products bringing beauty and luxury into a person’s life along
with confidence that he or she is supporting the resources and industry that
will help to build a more sustainable, greener world that will persist long
into the future.
Bamboo has a rich history in Asia, where it has been used
for centuries as a major building material, as well as being used in the
construction of furniture and other items. In China, the very first papers were
made out of bamboo pulp, and similar processes still make a thick grade of
paper today, for traditional uses or for arts and crafts. Bamboo has a long
history of culinary and medicinal applications. Its shoots are a low-calorie
food that is rich in sugars and various essential minerals, and they can be
cooked or eaten raw. Other elements of the plant are utilized in the ancient
Indian medicinal practice, Aryuveda. Modern techniques have allowed
manufacturers to derive viscose from bamboo in order to create clothing with
softness comparable to cashmere. The resource as a whole is gaining increasing
popularity in the West, though its versatility and quality remains underappreciated,
and there is still room for much greater demand to promote its growth and
harvest in new markets.
With over 1,400 different species, bamboo grows naturally
throughout the world, both in tropical and temperate climates. There are three
identified species that are indigenous to North America, and though the plant
as a whole is far more common in Asia, there are identified regions in the
United States and elsewhere that could accommodate large-scale bamboo forestry.
Many species are hardy enough to grow in cold weather, so there are very few
limitations on where the crop can be established. Bamboo propagates quickly
because of its rhizome root system, but it is an ideal agroforestry crop,
capable of occupying the same land that is devoted to other crops that do not
grow in such dense arrangement.
Comparing to a stand of trees the same size as one of
bamboo, the bamboo releases 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere. A necessary
aspect of any effort at curtailing global warming is to encourage the
preservation of every aspect of the natural environment that constitutes a
natural defense against escalating quantities of carbon dioxide, and bamboo is
the best example of this.
With bamboo, the consumer secures the dual benefit of buying
an excellent product and supporting a stable ecosystem.

What Outdoor Furniture Suits Your Home and Lifestyle? Cane or wood?
by Jayde Ferguson
Dressing up your home with new furniture decorations can be exciting. Whether it’s your first home, or a refresh of the rental property you live in, the freedom to implement your own personal style according to your tastes and lifestyle is both a liberating and challenging experience. Most of us simply pick furniture based on what looks and feels good, but what really suits your home and lifestyle? We check out two types of furniture and uncover the differences between them and how you can do more than just improve your home’s outdoor décor.
Understanding the Difference between Cane and Solid Wood Furniture
Cane furniture, like other wooden varieties, grows with you over time to become part of you and your family’s treasured possessions. Given its flexible nature, good quality cane furniture can last anywhere between 30 to 40 years so it can be easily regarded as a rewarding investment.
Solid hardwoods such as redwood, oak or pine are also extremely durable materials for furniture. Built with quality and craftsmanship in mind, the difference between solid wood and cane lie predominately in the way it is made. Cane is used to describe furniture made of wicker – a woven fibre formed into a rigid material. Because it’s light yet super sturdy, it has become a popular option for baskets and furniture that’s used more often, like outdoor dining furniture.
When it comes to outdoor living, there is something about cane furniture that is warm and inviting. Also known as rattan or wicker furniture, cane is made from the stems of the rattan plant which offers a tensile and long-lasting material ideal for furniture both indoors and outside your home.
Consider only good quality cane because if the work is virtuous, you’re looking at a decade or two with limited to no maintenance. Those who like the look of bamboo furniture tend to choose cane, with its “island home” type appearance and cost-effectiveness; it’s a fun way to decorate your home to make it your own outdoor paradise.
Because of the flexible material it’s made from, cane can be shaped and designed into different types of furniture which leaves a lot of room for creativity, especially for those hard-to-buy for spots in your garden. Although it can suit any home type, cane is particularly popular for outdoor living as it has an immense ability to resist any climate change and is water resistant and rust proof.
Whilst it is a low-maintenance option and doesn’t require frequent polishing, it’s advised an initial coat of wax is put on before it rains as it can be prone to fungus. If you have children that tend to play with the furniture, consider a natural coat of varnish every couple of years to keep its freshness. For those with pets prone to chewing, it’s also possible to re-cane your furniture every few years instead of throwing it out.
For those prone to diabetes, cane furniture can actually be a healthy choice because it cools down the body. No doubt you have heard about the cane cradles in the older days? Cane cradles are something families handed down from generation to generation for its good health aspects, also making it a great alternative for elderly people or anyone that suffers from bad posture and frequent back pain.
Choosing Solid Wood Furniture for Your Home
Solid wood brings a stylish look when decorating your deck or patio area and is strong enough to easily satisfy all furniture applications, for both the inside and outside of your home. Although it is the more expensive option, you are paying for a lifetime of comfort and a characteristic appearance that never seems to get old.
Whilst it can be easy to opt for the decision of cheaper flat-packed furniture, these woods are simply manufactured products such as chipboard or MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard). Engineered ‘woods’ like these are made from lower quality woods and whilst are the perfect short-term solution for a large space crying out for furniture, they don’t have the same build quality as real solid wood furniture.
Real solid wood is a term of art, and buying solid wood furniture for your home can include endless benefits, especially for outdoor patio use. Solid woods like redwood or oak offer a beautiful, elegant and timeless appearance that can complement any existing décor. Because of its sturdiness, solid woods are highly resilient against harsh weather conditions and varieties like cedar and redwood have natural chemicals that effectively resist wear and tear of daily use. As your furniture ages, the colour and movement changes in solid hardwoods add to its charm.
As tough as solid wood furniture can be though, the maintenance levels are higher than most other outdoor furniture types. If the wood is not taken care of, flaking and cracking can appear. To keep your furniture looking good and long lasting, stain removing, cleaning and varnishing will need to be done periodically. From a green-minded perspective, it’s also important to remember some hardwoods are endangered species. Redwoods for example, are some of the most ancient trees and whilst it may look like award-winning furniture, from the conservation aspect this type of wood is best left on the tree. For environmental concerns, consider other options like pine, teak or timber.
