"The bamboo is specifically selected, heat-treated and joined using extremely strong natural fibres or synthetic material combined with an epoxy resin. The frame is a sealed system using a combination of polyurethanes and varnishes that are designed to withstand extremely harsh environments.

We offer a three-year warranty on the frame against any manufacturing defects like bamboo cracking or splitting and any joint defect," he says.
