What are the differences between vertical and horizontal flooring?
A. The only difference between vertical and horizontal grain types is their appearance. They are equivalent in hardness and durability. Horizontal grain types refer to wider slats in the plank because the bamboo strips are laid flat before melding. Vertical grain types refer to slats of bamboo that are turned on their side when melded, and thus are more narrow. Both styles have been used in a wide array of design themes – it comes down to personal taste as to which is aesthetically superior.
