Bamboo, touted as a super-sustainable resource, has been playing an increasingly crucial role in the manufacturing sector. It is a gift from nature and a cost-effective selection for going green. It is also one of the major materials used by TOPSEAT with the expectation of making a continuing contribution to environmental protection.

Bamboo in the Spotlight

A member of the grass family, bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in the world. It can grow more than 47 inches in a single day and reach its mature height in only two months. For example, Bambusa Oldhamii, the giant timber bamboo from China, may grow to a height of 60 feet with stems over 3 inches in diameter and has become a preferred substitute for timber. Every year, the mature bamboo sends out shoots that grow fast enough to meet our numerous needs.

Not only is bamboo a sturdy plant, it has broad commercial appeal. It is used in many ways, including furniture, flooring, medicine, cooking, construction, and musical instruments. Because of its incredible strength and short growth cycle, bamboo has been widely used in the manufacturing industry. The amazing regenerative properties have made it a competitive and ideal alternative for hardwood. Bamboo has also survived the harshest conditions during the past 200 million years.

Bamboo also is critical to environmental protection. It outperforms trees in capturing carbon dioxide. For example, when compared with an equivalent stand of trees, a grove of bamboo can emit 35 percent more oxygen. Further, the same grove of bamboo can also be continuously re-harvested every three years. Even during its regeneration period, its root system still acts as a soil conservation tool to prevent possible erosion.

In China, bamboo has 5,000 years of cultural connotations symbolizing a high-minded ethic, such as elegance, purity, mercy, perseverance, and moral integrity.

In the modern world, more companies are gradually regarding global sustainability at the forefront of corporate values. Thus, bamboo becomes an ideal material for the manufacturing industry — especially for making toilet seats.

Bamboo Toilet Seats at TOPSEAT

The beautiful bamboo toilet seats from TOPSEAT are not only a product, but also an art form.

At TOPSEAT, the bamboo toilet seat is a product with a perfect combination of modern techniques and the oldest traditional materials. It is a perfect alternative to the common solid wood or molded toilet seat.

Mature bamboo, five to eight years old, is used for the toilet seats. After being cut and laminated into sheets or boards, bamboo can be used to make toilet seats.

At TOPSEAT, bamboo toilet seats are made of the bamboo sheets produced at Xinyu Bamboo Industrial Co., Ltd., located in the Southern China city of Chishui, Guizhou Province. All bamboo materials are harvested in the “bamboo sea” named for the blooming groves of bamboo swaying in the wind like waves on the sea.

The bamboo material for toilet seats is treated by intense heat and pressure. The seat is structured with our advanced technique, which ensures beauty, durability, and resistance against water, mildew, insects, and wear.

       The bamboo toilet seat is art beautified by science and high quality craftsmanship at TOPSEAT. The distinct grains provide the elegant pattern, which is not only unique but can complement any decor in the bathroom. TOPSEAT offers natural and carbonized hues with different patterns.
