Bamboo N-Durance Decking
Modern & Stylish N-Durance Decking
Fastest growing hardwood alternative
Bamboo N-Durance decking offers an eco-friendly, durable alternative to scarce tropical hardwoods.
Our Dutch supplier, MOSO® transforms the rapidly renewable resource bamboo into beautiful, natural outdoor decking with a warm caramel colour. Bamboo N-durance® is made from the fast-growing Moso bamboo, which shoots new stems every year.
Harvesting around 20% of the bamboo poles yearly does not result in deforestation as the Moso bamboo root system, with its rhizomes, allow it to continue growing.
Using a patented process, our supplier enhances its hardness, stability, fire safety, and durability beyond top tropical hardwoods.
This unique method effectively makes bamboo suitable for outdoor use, eliminating rot and mould risks.
Exclusive to Plantation in New Zealand, Bamboo N-Durance decking features a hardwood-like grain with distinctive bamboo nodes, combining functionality with a unique aesthetic.
Install decking quickly & economically
Due to the special symmetrical shape of the grooved length sides of the boards, Bamboo N-Durance® decking offers the possibility to choose between the grooved or the flat surface of the boards.
Powder-coated stainless steel clips and screws are provided, enabling fast and efficient installation.
The stability of the decking allows for tongue-in-groove end-matching of the decking boards, giving a high quality, snug finish, which is not possible with less stable decking products..
Additionally, the fixed length boards ensure very easy transport, handling, and fast installation.
Builders say that they can install this decking around twice as quick as most timber decking options.

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 N-durance 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.
