Manufacturing Process
Manufacturing Process
Bamboo products are crafted with meticulous care, utilizing sustainably sourced bamboo—a fast-growing and renewable material. Selected for its exceptional quality, strength, and flexibility, bamboo guarantees the creation of durable and long-lasting cushion covers. The manufacturing process begins with harvesting mature bamboo stalks from bamboo forests. These stalks are then carefully split into thin strips, processed to eliminate impurities, and enhance flexibility.
Additionally, after cutting the bamboo, it undergoes a unique process to further enhance its properties. The bamboo is submerged in a pond followed by smoking in a dedicated smoking chamber.
