Based on the simplicity of the Lambo Rainscreen System, any typical sub-contractor or siding installer can install our rainscreen system.
Lamboo can always recommend an installer (if applicable) in areas where Lamboo has had projects where the rainscreen system has been installed.
Lamboo can also provide support to the sub-contractor or installer that the customer decides to use.
The following are just some of the advantages that Lamboo provides over its wood/timber counterparts:
Quality: Lamboo only offers Grade A materials to ensure quality and performance of Lamboo products.
No Need to “Cover it Up”: Lamboo’s products offer a natural and beautiful aesthetic that does not require the need for drywall or other forms of “masking” the finish installed materials.
High Dimensional Stability: Due to Lamboo’s density & mechanical properties, Lamboo is perfect for long spans.
High Yield: Lamboo offers up to 98% to 99% usage, avoiding the need to cut around defects, voids, and knots. This helps reduce jobsite waste and allow contractors to utilize the necessary amount of materials instead of charging for extra materials to account for waste from wood products.
Rapidly Renewable: We can harvest every 4-5 years compared to timbers harvest cycle of 50+ years.
Materials Utilization:
Lamboo: 4 to 5 years equaling 12 to 14 tons of useable fiber per acre
Soft Wood: 15 to 20 years equaling 4 to 6 tons of useable fiber per acre
Exotic Hardwoods (like Ipe): 50 to 100 years equaling 50 tons of useable fiber per acre.
Lamboo does not compare in cost to typical building lumbers like Pine and Douglas Fir.
Lamboo products are more cost competitive with exotic lumbers like Ipe, Teak, Cumaru, and higher end exotics and other engineered woods and composites.
Lamboo does offer price breaks dependent on volume of materials within a project as well as the inclusion of multiple product lines within a project.
To provide the best price, contact the Lamboo Corporate Office and speak with a Internal Sales Specialist.
Lamboo utilizes globally sourced materials from all over the world. Lamboo continues to develop relationships with bamboo manufacturers in all countries that can supply materials that meet our quality expectations. As always, Lamboo continues to utilize materials that are sustainably farmed and procured to ensure that quality of life and materials.
