Special Notes on Fruto Bamboo Tile:

Babacu (pronounced: Babazu’) is a nut from a palm tree that grows in the Rainforest. In North American, the Babacu is known for its application in the cosmetic industry (the seeds are utilized to produce essential oils.) 

In Brazil, the fruit has a broader utilization and all the parts of the nuts are not spared. The seeds are used to produce food and oil, part of it is used for animal feedings. 

The very hard outer husk, the one you will see in the Fruto Bamboo Tile and the Fruto Resin Tile, is commonly used to make baskets and cups. In the amaZulu listelli, the section of the shell without the seeds is used. We present 2 different ways of utilizing the Babacu in tile. The listello - Fruto Resin Tile, where the shell is inlaid in a resin support (this guarantees a broader usage of the product, as it can be put in wet areas!) The listello - Fruto Bamboo Tile, in which the babacu looks like a little wood flower. In this second case, the empty parts where the seeds were can be normally grouted.

As with any natural products, it presents shade variations. The variation in color must be seen as normal and actually they are the “real beauty” of the product. The tiles appeal to the customers who want to create a different, exotic look in their rooms. It can be combined with the right wallpaper (with Asian patterns or exotic fruits) and décor (bamboo furniture, ceiling fans, etc.)
