Woody? That wouldn’t work would it? According to our tests, yes it would. We are proud to announce that our new ‘Woody’ radiator is now available and in seven stunning veneers. Which now introduces Groovy Bamboo, 2017′s very eco friendly radiator finish. Bamboo – more than a wood alternative Bamboo replenishes itself quickly. It is a grass with wood-like characteristics, growing up to 1 metre per day in tropical regions, making it the fastest growing plant on earth. Environmentally friendly Every year the parent bamboo plant develops new stems. These new stems can be harvested after 5 years in a mature plantation without decreasing the size of the forest. Regular harvesting actually improves the growth of the bamboo. The supplier that we work with opts for an environmentally friendly approach in the processing of bamboo strips for our radiator veneers. If required, 100% formaldehyde free glue is used and meet the requirements set out in the European standard E1 norm. Over the years, FSC has become an important international standard. Bamboo is not a wood, it is a grass. And to produce bamboo products no deforestation is necessary or even possible: only the 5-6 years old plants are harvested. However, a lot of building contracts required FSC only materials. So in 2004 FSC has allowed bamboo into their system.
