The new green steel proving to be a cost effective and sustainable alternative.
Now more than ever, there is a greater demand for building and manufacturing materials to have a reduced carbon foot print. Today’s building industry demands sustainable products and Bamboo is fast becoming the most Eco friendly and sustainable natural fiber in the world. Not to mention cost effective and a comparable alternative. Due to its fast growing nature, a Bamboo forest has twenty times the yield as a similar hardwood forest.
As one of the fastest growing plants in the world, bamboo can be harvested within 4-5 years, while hardwoods take 30-40 years to harvest. The development in treating and laminating Bamboo has increased the scope it can be used for. Not only is Bamboo incredibly strong, in fact it is referred to as ‘green steel’ and has better tensile strength than most other materials. It is also versatile, anti-bacterial, durable and resistant to termites. It’s versatility enables it to be used in many situations from stairs, bench tops, beams, vanities, shelves and cabinetry, while it’s natural appearance is guaranteed to suit many styles, bringing warmth and elegance to your home.
Why Bamboo by Logan Leigh?
Logan Leigh is the only supplier of up to 4.2m lengths of bamboo bench tops, and we deliver to all the eastern Australian states, supplying direct to the trade or to the individual DIY customer.
Bare sanded or full fabrication and polish?
For the bare sanded bench tops, we can cut and supply the bamboo slabs so your bench tops are made without any unsightly joins and you only pay for the exact lengths and widths of your order. We recommend that bamboo bench tops be spray finished with two-pack polyurethane for complete sealing. Oil based products are also suitable, although they require ongoing maintenance.
Alternately, Logan Leigh can offer a full fabrication and polishing service to your exact specifications, so the bench tops arrive ready for installation.
