What is Strand woven Bamboo Flooring?
A. Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring is the newest look to hit the Bamboo Flooring industry! Manufactured by taking strands (small strips) of bamboo and fusing them together using heat, pressure glue creating a new version of bamboo flooring. This is a true environmentally friendly floor since nothing is wasted in this manufacturing process. Another benefit of the strand woven bamboo flooring is the fact that the coloration runs completely through the entire floor. Its one solid piece of bamboo so if it were to chip, you would most likely not notice it as much as another type of flooring. Strand Bamboo is a floor that is even harder and denser than traditional bamboo flooring, with a grain more similar to hardwood flooring. Compared with the traditional bamboo flooring it is higher in density, stability, and hardness which is around 3000 on the (Janka) rating scale vs 1260 for traditional bamboo, maple, or oak flooring.
