A special process, involving thermal modification (at 392F/200C) and high pressure, provides MOSO ® Bamboo Thermo with impressive hardness and stability. The performance and weathering properties of MOSO ® Bamboo Thermo are very similar to outdoor-rated exotic hardwoods. Care and cleaning Under the influence of wind, rain, frost, and sunshine (UV) the MOSO ® Bamboo Thermo will weather. Unfinished MOSO ® Bamboo Thermo should be treated with an exterior penetrating oil finish a few weeks after installation. MOSO ® recommends cleaning the deck with Messmer’s Wood & Deck Cleaner or other oxalic acid based cleaner. Annual cleaning and maintenance of your MOSO ® Bamboo Thermo Lumber is recommended.

MOSO ® Bamboo Outdoor Lumber is a natural product, which can vary in color, grain and appearance. • Color will change over time depending on the maintenance schedule. • Bamboo Thermo has a brown to dark brown color when installed, which turns into a lighter brown color several weeks after installation. Without further maintenance the color becomes greyish relatively fast (similar to most other wood species). • Bamboo N-durance ® has a pleasant caramel color, which will fade slightly with UV exposure. Annual cleaning and oiling will maintain its beautiful and unique appearance. MOSO ® Bamboo N-durance ® MOSO ® Bamboo N-durance ® is a solid, Outdoor- Density ® board, made from compressed bamboo strips. Bamboo N-durance ® has a warm, amber color, resulting from a steam-pressure treatment of the bamboo material. The performance and weathering properties of MOSO ® Bamboo N-durance ® are also very similar to outdoor-rated exotic hardwoods. Care and cleaning Unlike Thermo, annual oiling of N-durance ® is required. The factory applied finish is Woca Exterior Oil (color: Teak). If Woca products are not available in your area, any penetrating exterior wood oil in the color of your choice is acceptable.
