Solid Bamboo Kitchen Countertops Prove Uniquely Beautiful,Durable & Environmentally Safe. www.totallybamboo.com
High-grade bamboo is a wood that hasproved popular in recent years for cutting boards, kitchenutensils and even flooring, but now it is making its way to thetop -- the countertop that is. After years of research andendless hours of kitchen testing, Totally Bamboo has unveiledits new solid bamboo counter tops. Totally Bamboo is the firstcompany to market this new 1.5" & 2" thick planks ready to befabricated into kitchen counters or islands.
With the experience gained from crafting over one millioncutting boards, Totally Bamboo has succeeded in perfecting themanufacturing process of thick, stable planks that not only lookincredibly beautiful, but are a green alternative to traditionalwood butcher block tops. 16% harder than maple, bamboo is simplya great choice for durable countertop surfaces.
All Totally Bamboo brand countertops are constructed withcross-band laminates called Multilam. "In our early testing, itwas discovered that this is the ideal way to glue-up bamboo,"says Totally Bamboo President Tom Sullivan, "keeping the plankboth flat and true, as well as greatly reducing the tendency totwist or warp." Sullivan says this unique Multilam glue-up hasthe benefit of providing a striking edge profile as well.
Totally Bamboo brand countertops are laminated with a completelynon-toxic, food grade, and most importantly, formaldehyde freeadhesive. In 2004, the World Health Organization re-designatedformaldehyde-based glue as a proven human carcinogen. TheTotally Bamboo countertops are offered in four different grainpatterns: Caramelized Flat Grain, Caramelized Vertical Grain andan exclusive Caramelized and Natural Parquet End Grain. Both the Flat Grain and Vertical Grain are available in 1 Planks come unfinished and sanded to 180 grit; ready to bespliced together for a kitchen island or installed ascountertops. Edges can be routed to suit any individual kitchenstyles.
Totally Bamboo recommends installation by a qualifiedwoodworking professional for home installation, but this bamboomaterial is simple to work with and can be easily installed bythe do-it-yourselfer as well. Totally Bamboo uses all-naturalmaterial, and as such, the material will have natural variationsin its coloration from plank to plank.
Sullivan says he knew this would generate a lot of interest butwas totally blown away with the avalanche of information requesthe has received. "People feel good about using this renewableresource and they are surprised that they can get such beautyand strength a without breaking the bank or the environment."
