The design world is a continuously evolving industry. New waves and trends are constantly pushing through the front line to consistently bring innovative thinking and modern ideas together. Lamboo Inc. has ways to be involved in this pattern of continuously evolving, making not only designs better one day at a time, but reflecting to figure out how to keep our environment and world a better, cleaner, more efficient place to live.

Lamboo Products consist of engineered bamboo structural members, fabricated bamboo glulams, bamboo window & door components, bamboo interior & exterior panels & veneer, and custom bamboo components.

Creating buildings, homes, businesses, restaurants, common areas etc. with Lamboo can start the revolutionary domino effect that leads into a sustainable world. Not only can Lamboo be specified into structures, beams, & trusses, but it can be integrated within interior & exterior designs of each building as well (architectural millwork, interior & exterior furniture, paneling, ceiling systems, table tops, counters etc.). This allows for true sustainability & uniformity to be reached through entire projects.

Lamboo, Inc. Supplies Structural Components For Glulam Beams & Members

www.WesternStructures.com

Lamboo Inc. has recently partnered with Western Structures, the leader in providing glulam beams and other structural building materials for the US and Eastern Asian commercial construction market.

Western Structures, Inc. established in 1989, is a manufacturer of custom, top-quality glulam beams now offering Lamboo as a new species selection. Western Structures says, “Glulams made with Lamboo components will be “off the charts” in terms of strength and durability.” Western has carved a name for themselves among builders, architects and developers all over the world. Western Structures products can be found in high profile projects and residences across the United States. In Japan, where quality is revered and demanded, Western is the leading US exporter of custom beams.

A Lamboo glulam is a beautiful structural component, devoid of knots but rich with color and character. Western Structures is able to manufacture virtually any size or length of this product and are confident that a structure made with Lamboo will be in a class all by itself.

Western Structures is an APA certified mill. Western is also approved for other markets including Japan’s JAS Certification.

Kolbe: Offers Engineered Bamboo, "Lamboo", As A New Interior Species Option

Kolbe expands its selection of interior wood species to include a new, special option - Lamboo®, an engineered, laminated veneer bamboo (LVB) product.

“Bamboo is the most renewable material of its kind currently available for the building products industry,” Kolbe’s product and market analyst, Lance Premeau, LEED® Green Associate. “Selected from more than 1600 species of bamboo, Lamboo® LVB products are manufactured from four of the strongest, fast growing and sustainable species.”


He adds, “Similar in density to Hard Maple, Lamboo® has no knots or voids and is pressed into two different grain types. The solid, uniform, engineered surface is easy to clean. This low maintenance and long lifecyle is enhanced by bamboo’s natural, antimicrobial properties that also help resist pests, molds and moisture.”

According to Kolbe’s supplier, Lamboo® Inc. of Springfield, Ill., this LVB product is 20% more stable than wood in moisture and temperature changes, has 10 times the tensile strength of wood, uses 15% less embodied energy than wood, and sequesters 35% more carbon in the growing cycle than timber. As a rapidly renewable material, Lamboo® allows a four- to six-year harvest cycle, about half of the harvest cycle allowable under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Rating System.


In addition to LEED’s Materials and Resources credits, Lamboo’s use of ecologically responsible adhesives also may contribute to Indoor Environmental Quality credits for low-emitting materials within the composite wood and agrifiber products category. In addition to Kolbe’s materials sourcing, recycled content and manufacturing processes, its windows and doors support daylighting, outside views, energy-efficiency and other attributes that are recognized by LEED.

Those who request Kolbe’s Lamboo® for the interior face of their windows and doors also may select from a choice of stain colors and custom-matched finishes. Kolbe’s products are finished with sensitivity to environmental air quality and the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), enhancing these long-lasting, low-maintenance window and doors.

NanaWall Systems Introduces Lamboo® Laminated Bamboo: NanaWall Is First Folding Door System in U.S. Available with Ecologically Responsible Bamboo

NanaWall Systems, the leader in opening glass wall technology, introduces the first folding door system in the U.S. to feature custom-crafted frames of Lamboo® laminated bamboo. This stunning new offering embodies the essence of green design: the Energy Star-Certified NanaWall folding door system incorporating the most ecologically responsible wood-alternative material on the market today.

Visit NanaWall Systems at GreenBuild 2010 in Chicago at booth #1088 November 17-19 to see this latest in green building design.

Consistently leading the way in large opening technology, NanaWall was the first large operable glass wall system to achieve Energy Star ratings, and the first to achieve Dade County Hurricane Certification. NanaWall is also the first large operable glass wall system to offer Triple Glazing and Ornilux® Bird Protection Glass. Now NanaWall continues in this tradition of innovation by becoming the first operable glass wall company to offer Lamboo laminated bamboo in a folding door system.

“We chose Lamboo because our customers requested more ecologically responsible material to use in LEED® certified projects,” said Ebrahim Nana, president of NanaWall Systems. "We already offer FSC wood but Lamboo takes the concept one step further and is recognized as a rapidly renewable resource by the U.S. Green Building Council."


Lamboo products meet criteria for 2011 "CALGreen" A4.405.4 (Use of building materials from renewable sources) and contribute to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification under MR Credit 6 - Rapidly renewable materials, IEQ Credit 4.4 - Low-emitting materials; ID Credit 1 - Innovation in Design (Environmentally Preferable Material), and ID Credit 2 - Innovation in Design (Life Cycle Assessment / Environmental Impact).

Lamboo is available with NanaWall’s WD65 wood-framed system and WA67 aluminum-clad wood-framed system.

Lamboo is an engineered bamboo product that is structurally superior to its wood counterparts. With three grain and two color choices available, it is not only structurally stable but aesthetically pleasing. The production process uses 15 percent less embodied energy than that of engineered wood and 300 percent less embodied energy than aluminum and steel. Lamboo on average is 20 percent more stable than wood in moisture and temperature changes, ten times stronger than wood in tension and three times stronger mechanically. Bamboo sequesters 35 percent more carbon than its tree counter parts and also produces 30 percent more oxygen than a like-sized timber forest area.
