Yes, bamboo x-treme decking is very hard, durable and stable, so it handles the extremes in our NZ climate extremely well. A key reason for this is due to the special “Thermo density” heat-treatment production process. This patented process is used to enhance the hardness, dimensional stability, fire safety and durability to a level superior to the best tropical hardwood species. During the heat-treatment process all living micro-organisms and sugars are removed preventing rot and mould being able to develop over time.
