Guadua Bamboo

Treated and graded Guadua angustifolia for construction, exported from Valle del Cauca.

Description

Company specialising in Guadua angustifolia, the American giant bamboo with the highest structural strength. From its plant in Dagua (Valle del Cauca, Colombia), it harvests, treats and grades canes for construction, as well as flattened cane boards and laminated products, which it exports worldwide with a permanent inventory of thousands of treated and graded canes. Guadua reaches structural maturity within a few years and regrows without replanting, capturing carbon quickly, and when properly treated it exceeds 50 years of service life on site.

Why we chose it

Because treated guadua is one of the lowest-footprint structural materials on the planet, and they take it from the cane field to the building site.
