About Bamboo Structural Engineered

Bamboo Structural Engineered () is a medium-hardness wood balancing workability and wear resistance, with a Janka hardness of 550 lbf (2446 N) and a density of about 0.6 g/cm³. It originates from india and south asia.

With radial shrinkage of 4% and tangential shrinkage of 8% (a T/R ratio of 2.0), it is moderately stable — allow for seasonal movement in wide boards. Its fiber saturation point is around 30%, below which the wood begins to shrink and move as it dries.
