Bamboo Flooring FAQ

Bamboo flooring is not very new in the flooring and covering market, but still there are people with multiple questions on it. I listed frequently asked questions.

How is bamboo flooring manufactured?

• Farmers harvested mature bamboo trees in the mountain. Fresh & mature bamboo culms are split and flattened lengthwise into strips of equal dimensions. These are processed & kiln dried before being pressed against each other and glued under high pressure to form boards (raw planks).
• Strand woven boards are manufactured to achieve greater strength and stability. The bamboo culms are crushed lengthwise and the strands are pressed & glued at extreme high pressure to produce boards (raw planks).
• The raw planks are then milled to form tongue & groove on all four edges.
• Planks with T+G are then surface sanded and coated.

Is your bamboo flooring as durable as other hardwood flooring?

• All our bamboo flooring is manufactured using only 6 years old mature bamboo trees from remote mountains in Anhui, Fujian, and Jiangxi of South China. Due to a lengthy annual freeze, this unique growing climate produces the strongest bamboo and most durable floors in the world.
• Horizontal & Vertical bamboo flooring is harder than the most popular hardwood - Oak.

How does your bamboo flooring hold up to high humidity?

Is bamboo environmentally & eco-friendly?

• Absolutely, Mao (Moso) bamboo is specially cultivated and harvested, without damaging the ecological system of renewal. Every year farmers in bamboo forest will plant new bamboo stems, so the stems can be harvested after 6 years in a mature plantation without decreasing the size of the forest. China government encourages bamboo farmers to plant more bamboo because this could increase their incoming every year.
