Bamboo Solutions for Madrid International Airport | MOSO® Bamboo

MOSO^® develops and creates bamboo products for interior and exterior applications that meet the highest technical requirements and quality standards, enhance the beauty of applications, and are made from the sustainable, renewable resource MOSO^® Bamboo. MOSO^® Bamboo Curved Ceiling boards were used in the Madrid International Airport, located in Madrid, Spain.

Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas International Airport is the largest bamboo reference project in the world to date. The curved bamboo ceiling in Terminal 4, which was added during the 2005 renovation, has become the landmark of the airport with millions of yearly passengers. The ceiling had to meet the highest European fire safety standards. In addition, the ceiling was supposed to have a curved wave design, which would place great technical demands on the material to be used.

It was clear from the beginning that the new terminal would have to be future-proof and sustainable while also effectively supporting the flow of passengers through the airport. MOSO^® was able to meet all the requirements with a new product: bamboo veneer combined with glass fiber.

MOSO^® had to make major changes to parts of the processing of the bamboo strips and develop a multi-layered structure of cross-glued veneer to meet the stability needs. 200,000 m² of bamboo ceiling boards were provided for this project.
