Let yourself be inspired by rooftop designs with a bamboo decking.

Bamboo decking at the rooftop of the Versailles Exhibition Center

The Parc des Expositions de Versailles is located just 15 minutes from the Eiffel Tower in Paris and offers 216,000 m² of exhibition space, spread over 7 pavilions. It is the largest convention centre in Europe. Pavilion 7 has a rooftop offering a large outdoor area for visitors to get some fresh air and take a walk. In order to create a natural, modular space with a floor that is sufficiently resistant to heavy traffic, the architects chose MOSO^® Bamboo X-treme Decking. More than 3600 m2 of decking has been installed and the furniture is also made with Bamboo X-treme.

Green rooftop decking idea in the heart of Amsterdam

Amsterdam is renowned as one of the European capitals in terms of sustainability and respect for the environment. The Dutch city is densely populated. In order to offer more green spaces to its inhabitants, the housing complex "De Boel" is equipped with a green rooftop. MOSO^® Bamboo X-treme decking was naturally chosen for its ecological and sustainability benefits. The decking board, as well as the furniture elements (tables and benches) are made from Bamboo X-treme decking boards. Plants found around the rooftop are installed in boxes that store rainwater to ensure responsible watering of the vegetation. A combination of natural decking with large areas of vegetation is a great rooftop decking idea for residential and office buildings in large cities.
