* Sustainable , Fast regeneration Material

Bamboo has also gained a reputation as an eco-friendly, highly renewable source of material. Compared to wood it grows much faster because bamboo is a grass not a wood. Bamboo can grow up to 47 inches in 24 hours and 78½ feet high in 40 to 50 days. It takes about 3–5 years for bamboo to reach full maturity. On the other hand, a pole of bamboo can regenerate to its full mass in just six months! Bamboo can be continuously re-harvested every 3 years, without causing damage to the plant system and surrounding environment. During the time it takes to regenerate, the bamboo plant’s root system stays intact so erosion is prevented. Continuous harvesting of this woody grass every 3-7 years, actually improves the overall health of the plant… Traditional hard woods can take 20 – 120 years to mature. In the meantime, there is less oxygen produced, less carbon dioxide consumed, and more soil runoff in the spot where that tree was harvested – all producing negative environmental effects.

It is believed that if bamboo were planted on a mass basis it could completely reverse the effects of global warming in just 6 years, and provide a renewable source of food, building material, and erosion prevention.

* Strength and Durability

Bamboo is a fascinating material due to its incredible strength, regenerative properties, and its natural aesthetic beauty. In structural engineering tests, bamboo has a higher tensile strength than many alloys of steel, and a higher compressive strength than many mixtures of concrete. It even has a higher strength to weight ratio than graphite.

Bamboo has been used as the standard building material for the majority of the world for thousands of years. There are many examples of buildings constructed entirely of bamboo, which are now several hundred years old. Due to their strength, these structures have even withstood 9.0 magnitude earthquakes.

* Demetra’s afforable price

Customers shopping for custom cabinets are paying upwards of $20K. While budgetted, ready-to-assemble cabinet solutions are not sturdy (not something you ideally would want to have built into your home) and come with poor quality finishes.

At Demetra Cabinetry, our mission is to provide affordable, euro-style / frameless, semi-custom kitchen and bath cabinets that truly fit your lifestyle for years to come, to provide our customers with the best cabinet shopping experience possible – from the initial visit online or in the showroom to enjoying our cabinetry in your home.
