How do you maintain bamboo products?
Bamboo is a beautiful and sustainable material that is increasingly used in gardens, interior or outdoor projects. It is strong, flexible and environmentally friendly. However, to extend the life of bamboo garden fences , bamboo poles , decking or facade planks and to maintain their aesthetic value, it is essential to treat and maintain them properly. In this blog post we discuss why treating bamboo is important and which maintenance products you can use.
Why Maintain Bamboo?


1. Protection against the elements
When using bamboo outdoors, it is constantly exposed to the elements. Rain, sun, wind and snow can cause damage over time. Untreated bamboo can dry out, crack, fade and even rot. By treating it, you create a protective layer that protects the bamboo from these weather conditions.
2. Preventing Mold and Insects
Bamboo is susceptible to fungal and insect attacks, especially in humid conditions. Fungi can cause dark spots, while insects such as termites can eat the bamboo from the inside out. Proper treatment protects against these threats, keeping your bamboo structures beautiful and strong for longer.
3. Extension of Lifespan
Proper maintenance of your bamboo fence , bamboo decking, pergola or other garden decorations ensures that they last for years. By treating it regularly, it retains its strength and appearance. This means that you can enjoy your bamboo products for a long time, which is both cost-efficient and environmentally friendly.
4. Discoloration of your bamboo
Bamboo products that are used outside such as fences, bamboo mats , poles, pergolas but also terrace planks or facade planks discolour and turn grey as they are exposed to the weather for a longer period of time. After mounting or placing the bamboo materials, the natural colours give a beautiful effect. People want to keep this beautiful appearance. That is why the question of whether you can paint bamboo is often asked. When using the right products, you can paint bamboo and the beautiful fresh colour will return and it will provide the right protection.
What maintenance products are there for Bamboo?

1. Bamboo Booster
Our Bamboo Booster Oil is specially developed to penetrate deep into the material and offers excellent protection against moisture and slows down the aging process. It keeps the bamboo hydrated and prevents drying out and reduces cracking. In addition, it enhances the natural color of the bamboo, making it look fresh and vibrant for longer. In addition to the natural colored oil, there are specially developed oils available for maintaining bamboo facades or decking boards. Therefore, choose the right type of oil suitable for the bamboo product you want to maintain.
2. Bamboo Protector
UV rays can discolour and weaken bamboo. Our Bamboo Protector UV protective stain forms a shield against the damaging effects of the sun. By applying this transparent stain you preserve the natural beauty of bamboo while still providing the perfect protection.
3. Bamboo Renovator
Our Bamboo Renovators are specially developed to restore the colour of your bamboo products. If left untreated, bamboo will discolour and turn grey over time when used outdoors. With our Renovator, the beautiful colour can be restored. The natural colour variations of bamboo are restored by this special semi-transparent stain. Bamboo Renovator is available in 2 colours, namely as a yellow stain for natural bamboo and brown stain for black bamboo garden products.
4. Ground Protector
Bamboo poles can be placed directly in the ground, but after a while bamboo poles will rot just like wooden garden poles. This is often at the boundary between dry and wet, which are the ideal conditions for fungi and bacteria that cause bamboo decomposition. By treating the bamboo poles with Bamboo Ground Protector you protect this part of the bamboo pole and it will remain protected in the ground for longer. This treatment under the ground will significantly extend the lifespan of the bamboo poles.
5. Bamboo Topcoat
Bamboo Topcoat Lacquer is specially developed to treat bamboo sheet materials. Many products that require protection are made from bamboo sheet material. For example, bamboo countertops or furniture such as tables are sensitive to stains and mold formation if you do not treat them. Applying bamboo lacquer ensures that stains are easy to remove and maintains the color of the bamboo sheets.
6. Bamboo Cleaner
Bamboo Cleaner is specially developed to clean greyed or green bamboo products. The bamboo cleaner ensures that the weathered layer on the bamboo will come loose and disappear. After cleaning with the cleaner, you can treat the bamboo with the right varnish or oil.
7. Bamboo Shield
Bamboo Shield is available in 2 variants, namely Nano or Thermo . The difference between the two is the addition of the right color. Nano is suitable for brown bamboo terrace planks or facade planks, and Thermo was developed to protect the dark bamboo decking planks or facade planks. The outdoor oil is water-based and has UV protection. After applying the oil, the color of the bamboo materials comes to the fore again.
