Hardness of Bamboo Products (bamboo decking flooring, bamboo wall panel, etc)
The hardness of bamboo products is varied by bamboo species and the processing, but it generally performs well in practical use:
Natural hardness: Mature bamboo culms (stems) have a Brinell hardness (a common hardness metric) of 3-5 MPa, which is harder than softwoods like pine (2-4 MPa) and even exceeds some hardwoods like poplar (2-3 MPa). For example, Moso bamboo (a widely used species) has a surface hardness similar to oak, making it resistant to scratches in daily scenarios.
Hardness of Bamboo Products(bamboo decking flooring, bamboo wall panel, etc)
Enhanced hardness via processing: When made into engineered bamboo products(e.g. bamboo decking flooring, plywood), high-temperature pressing and resin bonding increase their density. Processed bamboo products(bamboo decking flooring, bamboo wall panel, etc.) can reach a hardness of 6-8 MPa, surpassing many traditional woods and becoming suitable for high-traffic areas.
Durability of Bamboo Products(bamboo decking flooring, bamboo wall panel, etc)
The durability of Bamboo products depends on natural characteristics of bamboo and the treatment methods:
Natural advantages: Bamboo contains silica and bamboo kun (a natural antimicrobial substance), which resist mold, insects, and mild decay—better than unprocessed softwoods in humid environments. Its hollow, fiber-reinforced structure also gives it good impact resistance, reducing cracking from accidental knocks.
Durability of Bamboo Products(bamboo decking flooring, bamboo wall panel, etc)
Carbonization treatment: the bamboo fibers will be heat treated at 160-220°C to remove moisture and organic impurities, making it 30% more moisture-resistant and extending its service life to 10-15 years.
Chemical preservation: For those outdoor use bamboo products, such as bamboo decking, bamboo flooring, bamboo wall panel, bamboo fences, etc, anti-corrosion coatings or pressure-impregnated preservatives will be added to resist rain, UV rays, and termites, making the durability of bamboo products(bamboo dekcing flooring, bamboo wall panel, etc.) similar to treated pine.
