CONBOU

Wassilij Grod

In the sandwich material CONBOU, obliquely cut bamboo is interlaced and glued between two plates. The angled nature of the cut provides a larger gluing surface, while the diagonal structure gives greater stability. The cavity between the plates offers space for electrical cables and insulation. While using significantly less resources than solid sheets, the result is a highly resilient, lightweight composite material. Moreover, the use of renewable bamboo is resource-saving and cost-effective.
