The good side of the bamboo that it is renewable material. Bamboo can be
harvested from three to four years after ripening, in contrast to coniferous and deciduous plants that grow for 40 years. Yield at a bamboo is about 25 times above in
difference from trees. Almost a thousand hectares of forests are cut down every week
around the world, but using bamboo instead of wood makes it possible to cut this
figure and protect forests. Also, bamboo can be used in different directions. Each
piece of bamboo is used to make different products. People use bamboo roots as food
and enrich the soil with mulch, from furniture to chopsticks and textiles.
Bamboo saves energy in all aspects, here bamboo provides insulation in winter
and provides a cool during the summer, as the natural canopy allows you to penetrate
the light, but protects the interior from the scorching sun and heat, bamboo is also a
soundproof material, which is valuable in a busy city (Krawczuk 2013).
The versatility of bamboo is interesting. Since bamboo fibers are stronger than
wood, the replacement of wood is quite possible for our world. At the moment, paper,
charcoal, textiles, flooring, furniture are produced from bamboo, and this is only the
beginning of the list. Similarly, unlike other materials such as cotton, which requires
frequent spraying with chemicals, bamboo does not require any fertilizers, pesticides
or herbicides in the process of growth.
10.1.5 Bamboo’s Criteria for Building Industry
In the construction industry, not all types of bamboo can be used. In the construction
industry, if the bamboo does not pass a certain processing of treatment, also cannot
be used. Harvesting and protection from insects is the beginning for bamboo as a
building material. When using bamboo, it is worth making sure that it is dried during
the drying process, not dry bamboo can lead to kinks and is not subject to use in
structures; Bamboo should be older than 3 years. It is recommended to use mature
bamboo 4–6 years; Bamboo must be decontaminated from insects and a certain
treatment; Bamboo blooms can’t be used in construction, can lead to the withering
of the bamboo itself; Before use it is worth checking for the presence of cracks, can
lead to kinks; The term of bamboo service depends on the type, length of the bed,
wall thickness, and harvesting time (Krawczuk 2013).
10.2 The Durability and Treatment of Bamboo for Building
Industry
The bamboos outer hard part and the lower part of the culms are more durable the
inner wall, which deteriorates faster as it is soft. Treating bamboo for long-term
use is a more economical and sustainable method. With the application of proper
procedures, the lifespan of bamboo can increase to 50 years (Patel 2015).
