How is bamboo flooring made?
Bamboo flooring is split into pieces which are flattened, boiled to remove starch, dried, and glued together under high pressure into planks. The grain may be vertical or horizontal across the planks, which can be varying widths and lengths. They are then sanded and stained, varnished, or used as is. Engineered bamboo flooring is manufactured with a wooden core, usually plywood, and a thin sheet of bamboo for the surface layer. Strand woven bamboo is made up of shredded bamboo strips compressed together under extreme pressure.
