Treatment process

1. 01 Age selection

   Our experienced staff, with over 20 years in the field, ensure correct maturity via visual indicators: color, branching, secondary growth of moss and lichen, and culm sheets.

2. 02 Cleaning & perforation

   Each culm is carefully handled, cleaned and perforated at the internal nodes to allow full-cane treatment.

3. 03 Borax immersion

   Submerged in water with a solution of borax and boric acids. After 5 to 7 days the culms are taken out of the water.

4. 04 Drying

   The culms are left to dry under controlled conditions to the ideal moisture content, ready for transport and construction.
