How To Treat Bamboo

How we treat:

"Although, solid bamboo 's the greatest quality bamboo itself but without skilled treatment process. It can't be perfect".

   Along to the traditional culture of Southeastern Asia, all generations were very familiar to bamboo as food, kitchen appliances, furniture, decorations, major building materials for many centuries ago. They grew up in bamboo houses  generations and generations in rural seclusion.
   Obviously,  they skilled to treat bamboo as building material to meet required quality grade A - hard, longer lasting for 20 years to 30 years - it 's known that: "legend of treating bamboo".... Tregai solid bamboo 's the #1 st choice building material in approval, it became most popular and famous to build houses of bamboo(). 
 
*** Skill of treatment resistant bamboo for construction material - the most  important criteria. 
 
  While harvesting bamboo from tropical jungle... Bamboo - its own, still fresh, high humidity, high level of starch(similar to timber wood logs). If we put bamboo outside in normal temperature condition  without treatment and protection: it will get mold, fungus,  insect within 24 months...   . Bamboo need to be treated in traditional(legend of treating bamboo)and advance modern process to gain grade A of quality(strength as steel, and more) meet high requirement of construction,& architecture, furniture purposes to last long  for years(20-30 years).
 
    Bamboo is selected strictly at the beginning of steps: from harvesting then bending for straight bamboo poles shape, cleaning, preservative measure of non-toxic salt-tetraborat bozat (viet nam oi la ha`n the), steam heat pressure at high temperature  in 20 foot large pipe of tank  for 90 hours and drying  techniques(kiln-dry). These steps must be proceeded by the skilled workers to meet high quality control of bamboo for building construction.   
 
 
 
=> At harvest  and select - it must be mature bamboo crop around 4-6 years in tropical jungle:
 
Thorny bamboo
 
 
Solid bamboo has never grown individual as moso or tolkin. It grows in the bamboo bush(10-20 timber bamboo per bush)..the workers need to select  mature bamboo in those ones. This job required skill if not thorny bamboo would tear to their hand.
 
On the other hand, solid bamboo has wall thickness and the node is very hard and strong, distance between nodes are shorter than moso or tolkin so that it is less cracking and  not easy to split. Its own structure is natural resistant against wood-boring beetle...

=> Bend bamboo to be straight:

Bamboo solid has prominent nodes and it is is not straight as moso. In order to build house and construction project effectively, we need to bend bamboo to be straight...

 
=> Water preservation:
 
All bamboo must be kept in a large underground tank of water for 60 days in normal temperature in order to remove all the insects inside bamboo finally. The preservative water proceeding makes bamboo more durable and sturdy.

=> Cleaning
 
After selection and bending, water preservation. All the dirt on surface of bamboo is remove by brushes careful ...
 
=> Dried naturally by sun
 
Next process, bamboo is dried by sun for 7 days to pop out natural yellow color.
 
=> Steam heat pressure process( heating system)
 
Complete all above, in a pipe has large diameter- bamboo is heated by passing hot steam which steam is generated in boilers, especially at high pressure.
 
=>Kiln-dried: Drying treatment to reach 10%-15% moisture - Meet the standard moisture contents of bamboo and rattan-.

Bamboo need be dried for 3 days to reach required standard of bamboo moisture 10%-15%.

 
 
By many steps of a self-container treatment process for 5 months to make a heavy duty bamboo poles grade A for construction, furniture, eco-architecture, resorts, luxury home, bungalows, tiki huts, and 101 applications...

Why we choose Bamboo

Why we choose:

"1.st QUALITY BAMBOO FOR TROPICAL CONSTRUCTION  PROJECTS AND ECO-ARCHITECTURE DESIGN, GREEN HOME BUILDING, NATURAL BUILDING TECHNIQUES".


"Solid bamboo is considering "vegetal steel" because of the flexible applications in building construction and industrial. It is enough durable, natural and sustainable, sturdy, eco-friendly for a high demand quality to build resorts projects, architecture design ideas, home decor, commercial such as build green houses, tiki huts, tiki bar concession stand, palapas, ect... " 

       In the past, there wasn't steel, bamboo and wood - it was primary construction material.

Nowadays, wood, steel, concrete material not only becomes  expensive but also they are not eco-friendly environment as bamboo is. There is more popular "green home" trend using bamboo with ecological benefits and affordable budget, sustainable choice.

Depend to harvesting time, timber bamboo could have small&large diameter(5-inch to 7-inch diameter) and 60 foot-90 foot length in general. Hollow bamboo is the fastest growing in bamboo species so that the harvesting crop time is quite short around 2-3 years/crop. Yes, of course hollow bamboo(as moso, tolkin) - its own structure : real soft, easy to split, not walled thickness(not solid). There is tre gai solid bamboo, make a difference quality from hollow bamboo.

    "What is tre gai" - a description of tre gai:" this is large diameter thorny bamboo, species of tre gai bamboo  is original of Vietnam. In mature year, it's strength as steel, building construction grade in approval for material alternative to wood, steel"


   In general, solid bamboo species or tre gai bamboo differs quality from hollow bamboo. If solid bamboo is harvested in mature  years, it would be  a strength as steel, or more and more...

  "Solid bamboo has to take 4 years to gathering mature crop regularly, its own structure: hard, strong, walled thickness(solid) - difficult to split, outside look rustic, (in labs, Strength properties of solid bamboo in normal temperature condition on Modulus of Elasticity: 18,959 N/mm2)"
  Specially, the strength of solid bamboo is greater than all of bamboo species(can be the greatest)...This solid species, well-known "growth in tropical jungle of southeastern Asia" - the mineral in land and tropical weather result in the healthy growth of bamboo, we could select the best quality bamboo here.

It is better to choose Tre gai bamboo for your projects.
For construction building purpose, TRe Gai Bamboo can reach the largest diamter and hardest nodes to be prior choice of green materials and can meet US  building code.

TRe Gai Bamboo stalks are widely used in construction, pile foundations, wicker, kitchen utensils, chopsticks, toothpicks, firewood. Recently bamboo poles  are used for pulp. Bamboo roots are used as food .You can boil and eat right or pickled.

 Someone said " Bamboo is stronger than steel". It is true and not . Tre Gai Bamboo is very well-known on construction building material with the greatest quality bamboo itself. But without skilled treatment process, it can't be perfect for construction grade A. Natural durability will be less if Bamboo is not well treated. It just last long for 3 years in outdoors and 5 years for indoors, only 6 months in the sea. ( At 94.5% moisture, bamboo density 1,000 kg / m3; also at 15% moisture content, density is 500 kg / m3).
       Along to the traditional culture of Southeastern Asia countries, all generations were very familiar to bamboo as food, kitchen appliances, furniture, decorations, major building materials many centuries ago. They grew up in bamboo houses in rural seclusion. The traditional experience to treat bamboo as building materials to meet required quality   construction grade A - hard, longer lasting for 20 years to 30 years - it 's known that: "legend of treating bamboo"....
