MOSO has developed a unique thermal treatment and compression process to alter the hardness, dimensional stability, fire safety and durability of its bamboo boards to a level superior to the best tropical hardwood species. Because of the high stability the decking boards come standard with headside tongue and groove, even for the widest boards (178 mm), and they can be mounted on the wall / terrace with very low tolerations (no dilatation seams between headsides necessary). Because the decking and cladding boards are made with the some process there is now a solution possible in the same colour for a continuous look from terrace to exterior wall.
Technical characteristics decking boards:
• Density: +/- 1200 kg/m3
• Dimensional stability: length: + 0.1 %; width + 0.9% (24 hours in water 20°C)

• Reaction to fire: Class Bfl-s1 (EN 13501-1)
• Slip resistance: USRV 37 (Dry), USRV 29 (Wet) (CEN/TS 15676) / R 11 (Dry), R 10 (Wet) (DIN 51130)
• Modulus of Elasticity: 10737 N/mm2 (EN 408)
• Breaking strength: 50.30 N/mm2 (EN 408)
• Biological durability:
Class 1 (EN350 / ENV807), simulated graveyard test
Class 1 (EN 350 / EN 113)
• Effectiveness against Blue Stain: Class 0 (EN 152)
• Use Class: Class 4 (EN 335)
