In your living room or on your terrace, bamboo brings a freshness to your decoration while doing the planet some good.
Bamboo for every taste
It is a plant that we find more and more in garden centers and catalogs of materials for the home. Bamboo has become much more than a trendy product; it has become THE material to use for a fashionable house. Forgotten by the general public for a long time, bamboo has however been exploited in Asia for many years. Now in fashion, it is impossible to do without it if you want a chic interior and an impressive exterior!
Bamboo has many qualities that its direct competitor, oak, does not have. More resistant, more ecological, also more natural; bamboo has everything to become your 2024 favorite. At ootouch we are convinced that you will find what you are looking for among our many bamboo-based products.
Bamboo can be found in your home, apartment or even in public places in unexpected ways. It doesn't just serve as decoration; it provides added value in every room where it is placed. As parquet for your living room or as a terrace for your outdoor space, it brings a chic and trendy side.
Even better, it can be used for cladding, wall decorations and even panels for your stairs. There are enough variants for each room to have its own style of bamboo.

BambooFact: Forget the cliché of bamboo chopsticks and plants devoured by pandas. Its use is much more diverse and varied than one might think. Thus, for some years, bamboo has been present in the manufacture of certain wines, medicines and even toothpaste. It also serves as scaffolding for construction professionals and as fuel for engines. Bamboo is also very useful in sports, as we find surfboards, bicycles and even skis built for nature lovers.
What does bamboo bring to your property?
Imagine yourself in the South American jungle, in a Japanese garden or on a beach in Tanzania. Bamboo is a plant that inspires calm, rest and nature. If its color was in fashion in 2023, it is now the plant itself that has found a place of choice in your living rooms, bathrooms and even in your kitchens and outdoor areas.
Among its many qualities, it is impossible to overlook its taste side. We could offer you a lot of recipes around bamboo, but at ootouch, we are more at home in interior design. A bamboo parquet or terrace adds a lot to your home. A well-maintained parquet floor (which is not complicated at all) will last without worries for 30 years. It is therefore not an aspect to be neglected!
While wood remains a timeless material for parquet floors, bamboo has nothing to envy it. It could even scare it! Less fragile than its wooden competitor and, above all, more ecological; ootouch parquets are aesthetically pleasing, without requiring prolonged maintenance.
Why use bamboo in your home?
At ootouch we have understood that the future will be marked by bamboo. Specialists since our creation in 2005, we are a major player in the sale of bamboo-based products in Belgium and elsewhere in the world.
Its use is more than necessary to help the planet recover from the abusive exploitation of wood. Each tree cut down takes several decades to be replaced, while bamboo reaches maturity after 5 years, reabsorbing CO2 one year after its planting. Faced with a polluting timber industry, it is easy to imagine why bamboo has won so many hearts in recent years.
Although it is more ecological, it is above all more resistant than most other wood species. And that is undoubtedly what makes it so interesting. There is nothing more unpleasant than laying a new parquet floor and finding it damaged after an evening with friends. This problem does not exist with bamboo, which is resistant to both a lady's stiletto heel and a glass of wine (or any other liquid) spilled by a gentleman.
Want to know the formidable resistance of bamboo? Its plant is solid and hard to the point of being able to withstand a traction of 40 pf/mm². Not impressed yet? Know that the tensile strength of steel is only... 37 pf/mm². Not bad, for a plant, right?
Where to install your bamboo?
The answer is simple: wherever you want! Want to relax in your bathroom? Put some bamboo there. Need a relaxed atmosphere in your living room? Add some bamboo. Do you want to feel like you're on vacation on your terrace? Choose a bamboo one!
It's simple, bamboo goes with everything. At ootouch we offer different product ranges to please everyone. Light or dark tones, refined or traditional looks, vertical or horizontal slats or the BamWood with its exceptional resistance; we have what it takes to make your desires come true.
