Pre-Oiled Colors

dassoXTR comes in 2 standard pre-oiled colors, Espresso and Cognac.

Espresso color is the result of taking Classic Unfinished boards, stained with WOCA Walnut penetrating oil.  This leaves the boards rich and dark with a tight band of natural color range desire by most unique audience.

Cognac color on the other hand, is a result of staining Epic Unfinished boards with a custom blend of WOCA penetrating oil.  We know the two color option may not be within your choice of colors.  Hence, we now stock unfinished materials in both Classic and Epic so you could choose to custom design your own colors.

We know that life is never one size fits all.  That's why we stock unfinished products of both of our popular Fused Bamboo - Classic and Epic.

Classic Unfinished panels in itself is a darker material, hence it would be much harder to stain them to a lighter color.  This however could be achieved by using opac or semi-opac coatings.

Epic Unfinished panels on the other hands are neutral in color, so you would have much success in staining the planks to your choice of custom color.

Bamboo Siding FAQ

Can you use bamboo as siding?

Yes, but only Fused Bamboo is design for such usage to last. Natural Bamboo contains sugar and starch which attracts all type of rotting agents like molds, fungus, insects, termite and bacteria. In other words, if it is not treated like Fused Bamboo, it will not last.

How do you install bamboo siding?

Bamboo siding is installed with specific fastener to allow for proper ventilation between both surfaces of the siding planks. Usual natural wood siding require ¾” air-gap for ventilation, but due to the superb quality of Fused Bamboo, only ¼” air-gap is required; this significantly simplified installation.

How long does bamboo siding last?

Fused Bamboo RainClad Siding is warranty for 30 years but is believed to last longer. Other bamboo without treatment will not last and will deteriorate with mold and fungus growth, attack by insects and termites, and show signs of rotting within 2 years. Natural Bamboo contains sugar and starch which attracts all these rotting agents.
