Beaso’s Strand Woven Bamboo Beam is the pinnacle of modern construction strength, sustainability, and diversity. Our beams redefine durability, displaying high tensile and compressive strength appropriate for a wide range of structural applications.
They are made from the tough Dendrocalamus hamiltonii bamboo, with densities ranging from 600 to 800 kg/m3, these beams strike the ideal combination of strength and manageability.
Their distinct grain pattern lends a timeless charm to any architectural style. Lighter than concrete, tougher than steel, and cheaper than wood, Beaso’s SWB Beams stands tall on the Holy trifecta of construction materials. Not just that, this Bamboo Beam is your eco-conscious solution for long-lasting structural quality.
