Bamboo flooring, once the new kid on the block in Bamboo flooring, once the new kid on the block in sustainable flooring, is now a mainstay in the luxurious yet sustainable flooring category. And as production technology has evolved, so too has the range of bamboo options increased. No longer a homogenous, one size fits all category, bamboo flooring offers diversity in structure, design, and aesthetics. 

In this extract from our CPD event for architects, held in February 2023, Andy Paige from Moso Africa, and Barry Doveston from Flooring Africa and the Flooring Workshop Studio, explore the types of bamboo flooring construction and how to choose the right one for your next project. 

Touch points included the differences between the main types of bamboo flooring construction, including solid, HDF multiply, timber multiply, longitudinal, multiply cross-laminated, two-ply cross, and loose strip parquet. Plus Barry shares a case study on installing Bamboo Industriale in the Flooring Workshop Studio.

This month we co-hosted the first CPD event for th This month we co-hosted the first CPD event for the year at the Building Centre in Cape Town. So many thanks to Andy Paige and Moso Africa, for a great evening spent exploring bamboo flooring with two groups of architects. 

Bamboo flooring, once the new kid on the block in sustainable flooring, is now a mainstay in the luxurious yet sustainable flooring category. And as production technology has evolved, so too has the range of bamboo options increased. No longer a homogenous, one size fits all category, bamboo flooring offers diversity in structure, design, and aesthetics. 

In this session of the flooring ‘Stay Ahead of the Curve’ CPD series, Andy and Barry explored the types of bamboo flooring construction and how to choose the right one for your next project. Touch points included:

🎍The differences between the main types of bamboo flooring construction, including solid, HDF multiply, timber multiply, longitudinal, multiply cross-laminated, two-ply cross, and loose strip parquet.
🎍Quality features to watch out for in bamboo flooring, plus the pros and cons of high-density bamboo flooring compared to laminated bamboo flooring.
🎍Specific factors that, as an architect, you need to bear in mind when specifying bamboo flooring. These include the site climate and environment, expected traffic, room size, finish required, budget, eco / sustainability aspects, the floor experience, and installation considerations.

If you were not able to attend the event and would like to learn more or to find our how you can get accredited for 0.2 Category 1 Credits, get in touch with the Moso Africa team to book your one-on-one session with Andy, or book a group of your architects for training.

Thanks so much to @talsouthafrica and the Building Thanks so much to @talsouthafrica and the Building Centre for last night's architect CPD presentation on the value of an integrated floor levelling system. It was a full house! And thank you to Matthew Medhurst for sharing his extensive experience on how to do it right and what could go wrong if you don't. Some of those case studies were jaw dropping! 

If you are keen to learn more, keep your eyes on our social posts as we share key takeaway content with you over the next few weeks.

Thanks so much to the Moso Africa team for sharing Thanks so much to the Moso Africa team for sharing one of theirof their projects with us. And well done to Mark Coetzee and Custom Decks & Walkways, George, for this installation.

In this Garden Route project, the client and landscape architect wanted something natural for this outdoor project that would indeed grey out, yet it also had to be something sustainable and particularly stable. The landscape architect incorporated a lot of flowing, complex curves, and Moso's bamboo decking was the only decking product that would allow for the architect’s vision of these flowing, curved walkways and deck surfaces to be created AND to be stable over time. 

The images indicate the project after more than one year and you can see that those curves are still perfect with no lifting of the planks and no planks out of place. Moso Bamboo X-treme delivered an exceptional result that continues to meet the brief for which it has truly delivered, especially considering our gruelling outdoor climate.
