  2. HIGH DENSITY PLASTICS MAKE BAMBOO EVEN BETTER • Bamboo was one of the first building materials. It was sturdy, dense, and grew rapidly. It also offers several advantages over wood. It’s denser, has higher compressed strength, and contains less oil. • In China, it’s a building staple, but it never really caught on in the United States. United States’ manufacturers have tried for years to incorporate it. They initially tried it as a deck material. Those attempts, however, were terrible failures. The bamboo didn’t resist moisture effectively and it attracted insects.

  3. • Manufacturers decided they had to use some kind of replacement or additive in order to make the bamboo more practical. Cali Bamboo mixed reclaimed bamboo fibers with High Density Plastic and formed a mixture that it then shaped into decking planks of various sizes and colors. Bam Deck, as it’s called, resisted bending and sagging and was more than 3.5 times stronger than traditional wood plastic composite decking. It doesn’t require sealing, painting, or finishing.
