What is the difference between “horizontal” and “vertical” Duro-design Bamboo flooring ?
A bamboo stalk is hollow and the walls of the plant are fairly thin. Strips of bamboo are therefore laminated together to make our 5/8″ flooring. The terms “horizontal” and “vertical” refer to the orientation in which the bamboo strips are laminated together. In the horizontal style, the strips are laid flat so the top surface shows the bamboo’s nodes, or ‘knuckles’ more prominently. In the vertical style, the strips are turned on their sides and laminated together in long, slender rows creating a different appearance.
