COMPARISON

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BAMBOO AND TRADITIONAL WOODEN TERRACES?

When choosing a new outdoor terraces, most homeowners wonder whether to go with modern bamboo or stick with traditional wood. The comparison below highlights key differences—from durability to maintenance costs—and helps you make the right decision.

KEROWOOD BAMBOO TERRACES

Bamboo matures in five years, making it a significantly faster renewable resource than traditional wood.
Thermally treated bamboo is dimensionally stable, so it does not shrink, expand, or warp.
The wide 140 mm format allows for hidden fastening.
To maintain color, a single oil application per year is sufficient, saving time and maintenance costs.
The surface reaches anti-slip class R10, making it safe even in wet conditions near pools.
Bamboo is a CO₂-neutral material that, due to its natural growth, leaves no carbon footprint.
The lifespan reaches up to 30 years, which means lower annual usage costs compared to most wooden decks.
The tongue-and-groove system allows for symmetrical jointing during installation, resulting in less waste.

TRADITIONAL WOODEN TERRACES

Trees for construction wood grow from 30 to 80 years, making them a slowly renewable resource.
Wood is more sensitive to moisture and UV light, which causes it to warp and crack over time.
With most wood types, hidden fastening is limited to a width of 90 mm.
Sanding and re-coating are required at least once a year, resulting in more work and higher maintenance costs.
Over time, the surface becomes slippery, so additional coarse coatings or anti-slip strips are needed.
Tropical wood often travels thousands of kilometers, increasing the project's carbon footprint.
Due to frequent repairs and replacement of individual boards, total ownership costs are usually higher.
Because of inconsistent wood dimensions, more cutting and material waste often occur.

EXTREMELY DURABLE AND THERMALLY TREATED BAMBOO

The uniqueness of KEROWOOD bamboo lies in the processing of its crushed fiber structure, which is compressed under 2600 kg of pressure to create the hardest wood type on the Brinell scale (9.5 kg/mm²).

It is then thermally treated at 200°C – 220°C, which increases its hardness and stability by 50% and eliminates hemicellulose sugars—food for fungi that decompose wood—thus extending its durability.

Its lifespan without additional chemical protection is up to 30 years.

BAMBOO terraces IS EASY TO INSTALL

Kerowood bamboo decks are very easy to install, as the top side of the boards features a tongue-and-groove system that allows for quick installation and connection without cutting or visible gaps between the boards—making it much more economical and visually refined.

The special symmetrical shape offers the option to choose either a grooved or smooth walking surface and allows for fast installation with Kerowood hidden clips. The installation is done without visible screwing, which prevents the wood from warping or cracking and preserves its original form.

Wood naturally shrinks, expands, warps, and bends due to its internal structure. If we break it down or press it out of its natural structure and then bond it again, we prevent this movement and create a fully stabilized form.

Due to its crushed structure and dimensional stability, Kerowood bamboo decking does not crack, expand, warp, or split like other wood types with a natural wood grain. It is one of the most stable types of wood and, thanks to all its advantages, ranks in the same class as genuine teak. It offers a beautiful, warm appearance and the natural feel of wood.

PROCESSING PROCESS

FROM NATURE TO YOUR BAMBOO terrace IN 4 STEPS

How a fast-growing bamboo plant becomes a durable material for outdoor surfaces.

HARVESTING AND PREPARING BAMBOO

We use Phyllostachys edulis (Moso) bamboo, which is 5 to 6 years old, as that is when it reaches optimal hardness and structure. During harvesting, the stalks are first cleaned, peeled, and cut into long strips or fibers.

HEAT TREATMENT

In the heat treatment phase – carbonization – bamboo strips are heated to 200–220°C, removing sugar and moisture. This makes the material more resistant to humidity, mold, and insects. Different levels of carbonization affect the color and density of the boards.

COMPRESSION WITH ADHESIVES

After heat treatment, the fibers are compressed under high pressure (more than 2500 kg/m²) into a dense, extremely strong structure. They use environmentally friendly adhesives free of formaldehyde, giving the bamboo the properties of the hardest types of wood.

CUTTING, PROFILING, AND SURFACE TREATMENT

Finally, the panels are cut, profiled, and protected. Decking boards have an anti-slip surface and additional protection against water, soil, UV rays, and chlorine – making them ideal for poolside areas.

RENEWABLE RESOURCE

Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in the world and also a very rapidly renewable natural resource. In contrast to trees, which regenerate in 40 to 60 years, bamboo can be harvested every 4 to 5 years.

CO₂ NEUTRAL

The production of Kerowood bamboo reduces CO₂ footprint and does not increase greenhouse gas emissions, making the KERO product CO₂ neutral.

FSC CERTIFIED

FSC is an international non-profit organization that promotes sustainable forest management. The production of Kerowood wood is environmentally friendly and socially responsible.

RESISTANCE TO MOISTURE AND MOLD

Thanks to a special thermal treatment, Kerowood bamboo achieves high resistance to moisture, mold, and fungi, making it an ideal choice for outdoor surfaces—even in demanding weather conditions.

MISTAKES IN WOODEN TERRACE INSTALLATION

PROPER WOOD SELECTION AND INSTALLATION FOR A WORRY-FREE TERRACE

Low-quality material and unprofessional installation and maintenance can shorten the lifespan of a wooden deck and lead to higher financial costs.

Proper planning and choosing the right type of wood is one of the most important aspects of building a wooden deck.
The lifespan of your deck will mainly depend on the selection of quality wood, which—when properly maintained—will last much longer.
Below, you can see the consequences of poor wood choice and unprofessional deck installation.
