What is Bamboo Flooring?
Still largely unknown in the Western world, bamboo flooring has definitely come into its own – and is something that you definitely want to consider as an option for your wood floor. It is beautiful, very resilient, and comes in just about as many colors, and styles – just like wood floors. This article will tell you about the great new possibilities that this offers. The Processing of Bamboo Bamboo flooring is made from bamboo that is cut into strips and then glued together. It is then put together and pressed, in one of two ways – either with three layers of horizontally aligned bamboo, or with the center layer running counter to the outer layers. With this latter pattern, it is stronger, and less likely to warp. The bamboo may be boiled, which tends to give it a rich brown color, similar to wood, and they call it carbonizing the bamboo. There is no stain on carbonized bamboo, but other bamboo flooring does also come in over 30 colors. The Resilience of Bamboo Various types of bamboo
Bamboo flooring is typically constructed of all bamboo, 3 5/8 inches wide by 5/8 or 3/8 inch thick, 3 or 6 feet in length, and there are two sorting methods by manufacturing process. SORTED BY STRUCTURE: Bamboo flooring could be classified by horizontal and vertical kind according to the structure of bamboo strips. Horizontal process: Under high hydraulic pressure, the bamboo strips are glued together along horizontal orientation, then are laminated three layers along vertical orientation, then follow to be tongued and grooved. Horizontal products has obvious node and clear grain. Vertical kind: Bamboo strips are laminated directly along vertical ply, Vertical product has obvious stripe and close grain, which is more durable. But its cost is higher. SORTED BY COLOR: Bamboo flooring could be classified by natural and carbonized color according to the color processing. Natural color: After soaked in boiling H2O2 solution and dried, the bamboo strips are processed directly to natural bamb
