Bamboo Offers Endless Options and Advantages
MOSO ® is a market leader in the development of innovative and sustainable bamboo products for interior and exterior applications .
The impact of climate change is being experienced worldwide . It is imperative that we reduce our environmental impact and strive for more sustainable activities . Around 40 % of global greenhouse gas emissions are attributable to the built environment , so it is clear why most architects , designers and property owners have committed to greater sustainability and “ green building ” practices . Some of the important issues are lowering energy consumption , reducing the use of scarce or non-renewable resources and ensuring greater utilisation of rapidly renewable resources .
In the architecture and design fields this is seen in the increasing specification of natural , bio-based and responsibly ( sustainably ) sourced products . Bamboo , being one of the fastest growing plants on earth , and made into products that look , feel and perform like traditional hardwood timber , is becoming a big role-player in this change to using more sustainable materials in construction and décor projects .
MOSO ® is the global “ A ” brand in highquality engineered bamboo products . With a track record of over 25 years , and the largest range of sustainable and innovative bamboo products of any supplier worldwide , it is not surprising that MOSO ® is trusted and specified by leading built-environment professionals .
MOSO ® is well known for its range of outdoor products such as decking , cladding and beams . These products outperform traditional hardwood timber in terms of hardness , durability , stability , fire-resistance and , in many
cases , sustainability . However , the company also makes a very wide range of interior products for flooring , panelling , cabinetry and other décor applications . MOSO ® has recently launched some new flooring ranges with a fresh , contemporary look and of course the high performance that MOSO ® Bamboo Products are known for .
New flooring ranges include the Elite Premium range , Elite Oak ( with an embossed oak grain ) and Elite Herringbone ranges . All of these new ranges include some grey and whitewashed colours that are currently very fashionable , as well as the everpopular natural timber tones .
MOSO ® flooring carries a 30-year structural warranty . As an example of the superior performance offered by some bamboo flooring types , it is noteworthy that MOSO ® UltraDensity ® flooring has been installed in public projects in Europe , including airports , railway stations and shopping malls , and is successfully handling foot traffic of 200 million per annum !
