Description of the Carbonized Woven Mat:
NOTE: Please refer to the Additional Information tab for the full specification.
Carbonized is the color of bamboo that has met the fire. In natural bamboo, carbonizing means heat-treating the cane until its sugars caramelize into a deep, coffee-toned brown. Our carbonized woven mat captures that toasted depth in a synthetic strand, so a ceiling feels warm and intimate the moment the lights go down. It is the darker of our two stocked colors, alongside classic Teak.
Natural carbonized bamboo matting is beautiful, but it is still bamboo: it can split, mildew in humid air, draw insects and fade in the sun. ONETHATCH carbonized bamboo matting is hand-woven from HDPE synthetic wicker, an outdoor-grade plastic that resists rot. With UV stabilizers developed with BASF’s light-stabilizer engineers, it passed 5,000 hours of ASTM G155 accelerated weathering (Micom Laboratories, Canada) with no significant color change. Each sheet is woven by hand, so size and shade vary slightly from sheet to sheet, just as a craftsman’s work should.
Installation is straightforward: glue the mat to plywood, then fix the board to the wall or ceiling. Use staples, not nails. The mat works indoors and in covered outdoor areas such as verandas, covered terraces and open-sided lounges under a roof.

Carbonized bamboo mat for lounges, bars and Asian-inspired interiors
Some colors whisper; Carbonized sets a mood. A dark bamboo mat absorbs light rather than bouncing it around, so rooms feel calmer, lower and more private. That is why designers reach for it in spaces built for the evening:
- Hotel lounges and cocktail bars: a dark bamboo ceiling mat laid between timber beams draws the eye up and brings the ceiling in, ideal under warm pendant lights.
- Bali and Asian-style villas and spas: the carbonized woven mat sits naturally beside teak furniture, carved stone, brass and linen, the palette of a Balinese pavilion.
- Restaurant feature walls and bar fronts: a dark woven field behind the bar makes bottles, signage and greenery glow.
- Covered terraces and verandas: under a solid roof, the mat dresses soffits and ceilings that guests see from every lounger.
- Vertical furniture faces: headboards, wardrobe doors and reception desk fronts gain texture without heavy carving.
Prefer a lighter tone? Our classic Teak woven mat for ceilings is the other stocked color. For made-to-order shades, see the warm mid-brown Walnut woven mat, the dramatic Ebony woven mat and the light Golden Oak woven mat, or browse the full synthetic bamboo matting range. To match posts and trim, pair the mat with our Carbonized brown bamboo poles or Mahogany bamboo poles. For a step-by-step guide, read how to install synthetic bamboo matting on walls.
For projects that need a fire classification, order the fire-retardant (FR) version, rated ASTM E84 Class A and also tested to NFPA 286. Woven mat is a decorative finish for walls, ceilings, bar fronts and vertical furniture faces; it is not made for countertops or any surface people walk on.
Carbonized Woven Mat FAQ
No. It is hand-woven HDPE synthetic wicker in a carbonized color, made to look like heat-treated bamboo while resisting the splitting, mildew and insects that trouble natural mats. You get the smoky look without the upkeep, backed by a 20-year limited warranty covering rot, delamination of the woven strands, UV degradation and, in the first 10 years, base-color fading.
Yes. Carbonized is stocked in standard 1.22 × 2.44 m (4 × 8 ft) sheets for orders under 500 m². For hotel and resort projects, ask us about 1220 mm × 50 m rolls, which cover long ceilings with fewer joints.
Carbonized is the smoky, toasted brown of our five woven mat colors. Teak is the classic tone, Walnut a warm mid-brown, Ebony the deepest and most dramatic, and Golden Oak a light, honey-gold shade. Teak and Carbonized are stocked; Walnut, Ebony and Golden Oak are made to order. Compare them side by side in our synthetic bamboo matting category, and ask for free samples to see each color in your own light.
Yes, under a roof. The mat is made for indoor rooms and covered outdoor areas such as verandas and open-sided lounges, not for spaces open to the rain. It passed 5,000 hours of ASTM G155 accelerated weathering with no significant color change, so it holds its tone in bright, humid climates.
