Bamboo X-treme Decking
Bamboo X-treme – the next generation in sustainable decking!
Plantation Bamboo X-treme decking is an extremely strong, solid, high-density bamboo decking plank made from compressed strand-woven bamboo. A special, patented “thermo-density” heat treatment manufacturing process ensures that bamboo X-treme decking is suitable for the harsh New Zealand sun and environment. It has been used for a wide range of large-scale decking projects around the world.
Superior Quality | Unmatched Durability
Bamboo X-treme decking is exceptionally hard and stable and has been tested for durability (class 1 of EN350 standard – the best possible class available), ensuring maximum performance.
The stability of the product allows for tongue-in-groove end-matching of the decking boards, giving a high quality, snug finish, not possible with less stable products.
The bamboo x-treme decking is made to last - and comes with a 25-year warranty.
Invisible Fixing System
Bamboo X-treme decking comes with powder-coated stainless steel clips and screws - enabling quick and easy installation with these "invisible" fixings. Most builders find the decking much quicker to install, due to the fixing system. Also, if the joists are spaced at 462mm there is very little cutting of the decking boards required = less wastage and lower cost.
Natural Product:
- Like any untreated hardwood species when exposed to outdoor conditions, bamboo X-treme will turn grey over time, creating a very natural look.
- The bamboo decking planks have a brown to dark brown colour when installed, which turns into a light caramel colour several weeks after installation. Without further maintenance, the colour becomes grey relatively fast (similar to most other wood species).
- If a dark brown colour is preferred, simple maintenance should be carried out with the Woca oil recommended by Plantation, or similar oil.
- Both sides of the board can be used. Surface weathering, due to climate conditions, will be more noticeable on the flat side of the decking, compared to the ribbed side. However, bamboo X-treme will not warp, splinter or crack to the extent that most other decking products tend to.
- Plantation Bamboo X-treme can vary in colour, grain and appearance.

The symmetrical shape of the outside surface offers the choice between either a wave or a flat surface (either side can be used). With correct joist set-up, bamboo X-treme decking can be quickly installed using the powder-coated stainless steel clip and screw fixings supplied (no unsightly nails or screws visible). This system saves up to 50% in time and cost of labour to install the decking boards.
