Expertise Meets Dedication

Nine years ago, Steve and Kim embarked on a journey fuelled by the vision of integrating sustainability into homes and businesses across New Zealand.

Discovering bamboo was a revelation. “We fell in love with the bamboo products when we first saw them. We loved the sustainability story of bamboo and could see the potential for the future,” Steve recalls.

Their journey from passionate pioneers to leaders in the bamboo industry is a story of dedication, innovation, and the pursuit of excellence.

Witness the Impact of Bamboo

Plantation Bamboo’s partnership with MOSO Bamboo, a world leader in bamboo innovation, was a pivotal step in ensuring access to premium quality, sustainably sourced bamboo products.

This collaboration allowed them to bring European design, quality, and innovation to New Zealand’s shores.

Must say we are very pleased with our floating compressed bamboo flooring. We have now had it installed for around three months and it has provided good warm feeling (sitting on solid concrete slab) and have not noticed any sagging or creaking when walking around on it. Best of all, it looks beautiful. We had it profesionally installed as installing a floating floor in a whole house is not an easy task. Eveline from Plantation bamboo was great to deal with, expert advice and recomendations were no problem and she has plenty of patience. I gladly recommend them for product, delivery and service.

Ingrid has been extremely patient in answering all my questions for months, helping to work out how much product to order, kindly sorting out a cost effective shipping option, processing a last minute request very efficiently, and providing lots of installation and after-care advice. The bamboo floor is truly beautiful, the panel has been turned into a bench top, seat and shelves. The deck was easy to lay once we got the supporting frame dimensions right.

We recently installed a 45sq mtr deck using Plantation Bamboo. Fantastic and easy product to work with, has produced a great looking deck with lots of positive commentary. Will use again.

Great service, helpful advice and friendly people. Decking was easy to install and looks good.
Ingrid supported us all the way through a floor renovation in a bitsy, 1980 house. A floor reno is a big job, but we now have a beautiful and resilient floor which has changed the vibe of our house to a light, vibrant house with a sense of connection and flow. I recommend both Ingrid and the flooring very highly, and am so happy we went with this. Our brother has used the same flooring on his recent, modern build and it looks terrific in this too.

Love the product we had laid on our front & back balconies and how it's aging. Do we stain it or keep it natural, that's our decision based on the surrounding environment. Glad we went with this product and would do it again.

In 2023, enough was enough. Our sad, tired pine deck had finally reached the end of its useful life, with boards breaking as the piles sunk and joists sagged. We’d used bamboo for our benchtops, so continued this outside. And the result was, and still is, stunning. Three years on, the boards have aged beautifully. No dents or scratches, nothing’s shifted, the gaps are still uniform.

I very highly recommend plantation bamboo for outdoor decking. The product looks and feels super high quality, very dense and strong material, especially compared to our vitex original decking, kinda wish I had discovered this sooner! Our builder said its really easy to work with due to the clip system. Really love how the deck came out. Customer service and support is awesome as well, Eveliene was super helpful and responsive.

I needed a deck for my workshop staff to enjoy and take time out in the sun away from their industrial environment. Plantation Bamboo stepped up with an amazing product that looks great, has no visible screw holes and most importantly stands up to the harshest environment our work boots can throw at it. We have a constant flow of customers and sales representatives who visit us regularly who all comment on how lucky we are to have such an awesome space. We couldn’t be happier. Cheers
Great service, wonderful product, absolutely love our new floor
