Although it may all look the same, the quality of bamboo products from different manufacturers and suppliers will differ greatly. The quality of the finished product is highly dependent on the quality of the raw materials used in the production of the bamboo product, and also the manufacturing and quality assurance process itself.

Ensure that you are dealing with a reliable company.  One that offers not just a great price and a wide variety of coordinating products, but can also provide product specification data sheets and manufacturing information, as well as good warranties, sound installation practices and prompt technical support services.

Testimonials

From day one, Ingrid from Plantation bamboo has provided my small design & manufacturing business with exceptional customer service. The support that both Ingrid & Steve have shown has given me full confidence that no matter what project I am working on, their team will be able to provide me with the materials and advice I need to get the job done.

Their knowledge and expertise with materials and sealants truly make a difference to ensure that my customers receive the highest quality product possible.

Plantation Bamboo panels are finished to an extremely high-level joinery grade finish. For my furniture and lighting designs, I require a product that is both strong and durable. This can be seen in their sample packs which I always receive great feedback on from my own customers.

Thank you to the entire team at Plantation Bamboo for your continued support; I very much appreciate it.

We love our new Plantation bamboo floor! Eveliene and her team are wonderfully responsive and accommodating. After doing a lot of research and getting in quotes we found their product to be the best for value, quality, and ease of install. I've installed two floating floors before, this one was by far the easiest and most satisfying to put in.

Warren, Auckland 

I've used the bamboo sheets on joinery, as cavity slider doors, and as cladding. They look great, are very durable and there are next to no flaws internally so you always get a nice edge when you cut the sheets. I've also used the bamboo veneer product which is also a great product.

Stephan, Auckland

Wow Wow Wow is the first reaction to my deck on a new Build in Marlborough overlooking Cloudy bay. superb material, fabulous finish and I love the clean lines with the Groove and clip system and just a handful of screwheads on the outer edge. Highly recommend this product.

Tony, Malborough

My husband and friend managed to put the deck down in 3 days.

It’s looks fabulous and I would thoroughly recommend Bamboo X-treme Decking.

The communication from start to to finish was excellent.

We wouldn’t hesitate to do X-treme decking again.

Love it

Elaine, Napier

We are all so impressed with the bamboo floor. Looks and feels wonderful and so quick and easy to put down. Andrew was a delight to have on site so thank you so much.

Everyone who likes a timber floor needs to seriously consider the bamboo option and I will definitely be singing it’s praises.

This is a five star product!

Fiona, Greytown

We are absolutely thrilled with our Plantation Bamboo flooring. I'm surprised at how warm and soft it feels under foot. So comfortable to walk on in bare feet. Easy to clean and being a coastal location I'm sweeping sand off the floors most days, so this was important to us. People have come in and said WOW it looks amazing. Thanks Steve and the Plantation Bamboo team.

Nicky, Porirua

We used Plantation Bamboo for our island bench top and and pantry door. We were so happy with how the finished result looked and how hard wearing the bamboo is in our busy family kitchen. The customer service we received during the process of choosing our bamboo pieces was excellent - prompt responses to enquiries and great advice. Thanks so much Plantation Bamboo!

Janelle, Kapiti Coast

I love the Plantation Bamboo, I'm so glad I chose it over other timbers. The clip system is great and the finished effect is fantastic.

Brendan, Carterton

Nearly 3 years in the Tauranga sun and not a warp, buckle or twist in sight. Still as flat as the day it was put down! Great decking product!

Iain, Tauranga

Denise, Northland
“I think that its an amazing product, and so easy to lay. I have been spreading the word as well… I will send through some photos once the fireplace and kick boards are in. Thanks!”  
Justin, Waikato
Wonderful feedback from our customer on his large, 240sqm Bamboo X-treme decking project: "The product has been a joy to use. Result is straight, clean lines and a great finish. Would recommend this as the only decking to consider. Everyone from builders to friends have been impressed with the ease of install and the good looks of the finish. Thanks Steve for your support for our project".
Geoff, Tauranga
“Thanks for arranging for our bamboo floor installation. My wife and I absolutely love it! Bamboo looks great, is harder than our previous solid cherry tree wood floor and so much easier to clean than carpets. We would be happy to recommend your Plantation bamboo flooring to anyone looking for a high quality, value for money flooring solution that looks great and is easy to maintain.”
Alex and Kala, Wellington
“We love our new natural bamboo flooring at home, it feels so nice to walk on, especially barefoot, and is so easy to keep clean.” 
Emmanuel & Rachel, Wellington
“An amazing product which is very cost effective and looks stunning.  Andrew installed it himself which brought more flexibility in time, resources and cost.  Looking forward to working with you again.” 
Kate, Christchurch
“We are absolutely thrilled with our new bamboo flooring we have just installed in our kitchen & entrance way. The product is real quality, looks amazing, easy to keep clean, feels warmer & we get lots of positive comments on how smart it looks”. 

Julie, Christchurch
“The floor is down and looks a million bucks!  We are extremely pleased with the product and end result. I would recommend the product in an instant to anyone looking for a wooden floor option.” 
Chris, Fielding
“Aesthetically the natural bamboo worked because of its light colour and laminated edge detail. Practically it worked for the stair and benchtop because it is so hard (as hard as Jarrah). Environmentally it felt good using a product that is as renewable and hard wearing as bamboo.” 
Pauline
“We just love our new bamboo floor. It looks amazing! Plantation Bamboo and their installer, Andrew Meade Flooring were great to deal with – so helpful and friendly. I’d certainly recommend them to others.” 
Elena & Paolo, Wellington
“We love the floor – so fresh underfoot, easy to clean and looks great! A good decision.” 
Robyn, Wellington
“We are delighted with our new bamboo bench and the floor. They look great.”
