PROJECTS
The shopping mall has more than 80 shops, 20 restaurants, bars and a cinema.
Bamboo floors and ceilings form
the basis of the interior with
white, smoothly finished walls.
The ceiling and the pillars are made with bamboo
beams and panels. The material, with a minimum
thickness of 18mm, achieves the strict European fire
class B-s1-d0. Fire safety requirements have been
demonstrated with tests and certification available
from Moso, and with additional tests for the
complete ceiling system. With the positive result,
the ceiling system is suitable for all public areas.
Because the material meets the strict fire safety
requirements, impregnation or finishing of the
bamboo with lacquer is not necessary. In this way,
the desired result is achieved, which is, a natural
appearance of the bamboo.
Bamboo Industriale Density Caramel was
selected for the floor: an industrial flooring that is
very well suited for intensively used public spaces.
The floor, consisting of compressed bamboo strips,
is glued and finished on site. To match the
appearance of floors, ceilings and pillars completely,
a natural matt gloss lacquer with fire-resistant
properties was applied. With this lacquer, the
Bamboo Industriale flooring preserves its natural
appearance and meets stringent durability and fire
safety requirements.
