Bamboo is one of the oldest materials people have used to increase their comfort and well-being. In today’s world of plastics and steel, besides continuing to make its traditional contributions, bamboo is growing in importance. Bamboo is available in commercial quantities using the established supply system. It is a renewable plant with a short rotation period. Bamboo grows to its full size for about a year. Another two or three years are required for the plant to gain its high strength. Bamboo can be grown even on degraded land. Therefor the adoption of bamboo for house construction helps preserve the environment.
