Gripsure’s Bamboo CPD Achieves RIBA Certification

We’re delighted to announce that Gripsure’s Bamboo CPD – Bamboo: Sustainable Landscaping & Wall Cladding Materials, is now officially RIBA Certified, providing architects and specifiers with an accredited learning opportunity focused on one of construction’s most exciting sustainable materials.

As demand for low-carbon, durable and responsibly sourced building materials continues to grow, bamboo is becoming an increasingly important option for commercial and public realm projects. Our newly certified Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminar has been developed to give architects the knowledge and confidence to specify bamboo for decking, cladding and landscaping applications.

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) CPD accreditation demonstrates that a learning programme meets the high standards expected by architectural professionals. By achieving certification, our Bamboo CPD has been independently assessed to ensure it delivers relevant, informative and high-quality educational content.

For architects, designers and landscape professionals, this means you can be confident you’re receiving impartial technical information that supports informed specification decisions while contributing towards your ongoing professional development.

The CPD provides a practical introduction to bamboo as a modern construction material, exploring:

• The growth and harvesting of bamboo as a rapidly renewable resource.
• How engineered bamboo is manufactured.
• Performance characteristics including durability, strength and stability.
• Environmental benefits compared with traditional building materials.
• Suitable applications for decking, cladding and external landscaping.
• Best practice for specification and long-term performance.

Whether you’re designing a commercial development, education campus, hospitality project or public space, the session offers valuable insight into how bamboo can help achieve both aesthetic and sustainability objectives.

At Gripsure, sustainability is central to our product offering. We believe engineered bamboo represents one of the most exciting developments in modern landscape architecture.

Fast-growing and highly renewable, engineered bamboo offers exceptional durability, outstanding dimensional stability and a long service life, while providing an attractive alternative to tropical hardwoods. Many bamboo products also offer significant environmental benefits, including acting as a net carbon sink over their lifecycle.

By sharing this knowledge through a RIBA Certified CPD, we’re helping architects make more informed material choices that balance sustainability, performance and design.

Our Bamboo CPD can be delivered either online or face-to-face, making it easy for practices across the UK to arrange a session at a convenient time. Alongside our Bamboo presentation, Gripsure also offers accredited CPDs covering timber decking specification and fire-rated decking solutions.

If you’d like to learn more about sustainable bamboo decking and cladding, or arrange a CPD session for your practice, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
