Plantation Bamboo X-treme Cladding has been tested and appraised by BEAL as compliant with the New Zealand Building Code. It is an extremely strong, solid, high-density exterior bamboo plank made from compressed strand-woven bamboo – profiled into an overlapping cladding board.
A special, patented “thermo-density” heat treatment manufacturing process provides bamboo X-treme cladding with the highest durability class possible, making it well-suited for the harsh New Zealand sun and environment.
Relatively new to the New Zealand market, Bamboo X-treme cladding is a durable and sustainable alternative to timber hardwoods and other cladding options, and is successfully used in Europe and around the world. Our supplier utilises a 200°C heat-treatment process to thermally modify the bamboo to increase the stability, hardness and density of the cladding boards, making the cladding suitable for very demanding applications.
Bamboo X-treme cladding will rival other hardwoods in grain, structure and density, with the characteristic bamboo fibres being more visible as the product weathers, giving a lovely natural and unique look. With the strong stability of this product, it can withstand temperature changes with hardly any shrinking or swelling. Due to this stability, the cladding will stay flat and in place, unlike some other natural materials.
The cladding is fixed to battens (with the clips/screws provided), over a 10 or 20mm cavity, with a flexible or rigid air barrier behind it (see the Technical Manual and drawings for more detail). The cladding can also be used for making a fence, feature wall and more!

- Specs
Bamboo x-treme cladding boards are 1850mm long, with end-matching tongue-in-groove join. The boards are 137mm wide, but with the profiled overlap the visible face is 128mm (once clipped together and installed), with a small gap provided between the boards for air-flow.
- The cladding is 18mm thick.
- There are 5 boards = 9.25LM per box. A box weighs 27kg.
- Supplied with powder-coated stainless steel clip and screw fixings – for “invisible” fastening.

Fire Safety
Contrary to many other wood products, bamboo X-treme cladding reaches a fire safety class B-S1-d0 (EN 13501-1) and Class A (ASTM E84). This makes it suitable for commercial buildings, apartments and housing while giving a beautiful natural appearance.
The cladding reaches this exceptional fire safety rating without impregnation of eco-damaging and expensive fire retardants. Therefore, the cladding is safe for the environment and for the installers. Sustainable, safe and beautiful!!
- Installation
Bamboo X-treme cladding comes with powder-coated stainless-steel clip and screw fixings, which makes installation easier and provides a smarter finished look.
The clips are simply screwed onto battens and the cladding boards clip together with the boards only requiring to be cut at the end of a row (as the ends snugly fit together). See our installation instructions for more information. After installation, the cladding does not require any regular maintenance (unless a darker colour is desired), which can save on time and cost. Due to the “thermo-density” heat treatment process, the cladding is a mid-dark brown colour, but this will gradually change to a silver-grey colour over time as it naturally weathers.
Unlike our bamboo X-treme decking product (which has been pre-oiled as part of the manufacturing process) the cladding boards come unfinished but can be oiled if preferred, depending on the look and feel that is desired.
