Another choice for decking is Bamboo. It a fast-growing grass, not a wood. Bamboo is marketed as extremely tough, but unbeknownst to most people, it is typically harvested every few months. It if it less then five years old, bamboo is not strong enough to be considered a strong lasting product. This material is woven together, cut, bleached, carbonized, and dried for preservation to remove sugars as well as insects. The strips are glued together and assembled under high pressure. Then molded and baked together to make it a solid piece. It has a life span of about 10 years with a decent resistant to damage by insects. It is a semi-stable product, but it is often noisy because it such a hard surface, it reflects sound, rather then absorbing it. Beware of the toxic adhesive glues that are commonly used with the majority of Chinese made Bamboo (Specifically the chemical formaldehyde). Urea formaldehyde in bamboo is a common problem due to out-gassing. In addition, the glue used to make bamboo makes it more prone to peeling and curling. It also common to absorb sunlight. If planning to use for an outdoor decking, weight your options. Bamboo should be kept dry and avoid water to prevent swelling and twisting.
There are many different factors to consider when choosing the right decking materials. Hopefully, this information comparing the WPC species of hardwood and bamboo decking has proved useful.
