The Bamboo Technologies factory is in Viet Nam. Bamboo Technologies pioneered a sustainable, nontoxic treatment process for structural bamboo poles. The process , which uses a simple salt, makes the bamboo inedible to insects and expands the life of the bamboo. With proper weather protection there is every reason to envision that Structural Bamboo will survive as long or longer than any hardwood used in construction. The House Kits we’ve developed all benefit from computer aided design that maximizes the structural integrity of the bamboo such that our houses are earthquake proof and hurricane rated for sustained 180 Mile an hour winds. Originally designed for tropical applications, we’ve recently added insulation panels to our structures making them appropriate for virtually any climate. The result is a house that’s beautiful and graceful to live in, and which has an extremely favorable environmental impact bring made principally from sustainable bamboo, the fastest growing plant on the planet.
