panels and plates of bamboo
Bamboo panels are a ready-made wooden shield, the outer surface of which is lined with a blockhouse of bamboo. The thickness of such panels is: a block of 50 mm and a block house of 10 mm.
Dimensions of plates can be 600 x 600 mm, 2440 x 1220 mm. Plates from bamboo layers do not burn out in the sun, they are resistant to temperature-humidity influences and belong to hardly inflammable materials.
Plates measuring 600 x 600 mm used for the poles represent a competition for Armstrong ceiling tiles.
The size of 2440 x 1220 mm is the world standard of decorative panels for finishing surfaces with a maximum area. The number of layers can reach 7, and the variants of weaving the pattern to 10 (weave type "S", wide weaving, weaving "flowers"). Plates have an amber - nut color, which looks great on walls, bar counters, partitions and screens.

And finally, a time bomb can be called a bamboo siding, which is a block house made of a material up to 45 mm wide, packed on a 10 mm thick MDF plate.
The dimensions of the siding, which make up 900x130 mm, allow the laying of the floor with a groove. The exact milling of the ends of the siding from the bamboo repeats the favorite "spike-groove" scheme.
Cutting and assembling of plates and panels
Cutting plates are made using a carpenter's cutter or sharp scissors. For multi-layer slabs it is more convenient to use a hacksaw on wood or electric saw.
The installation of plates and panels can be done on a wooden base. The concrete, gypsum or plaster surface is preliminarily prepared in a conventional manner. For installation use glue for a parquet or "liquid nails", preliminary having ground a surface by a grinding coarse-grained circle.
