Bamboo Flooring

Bamboo is not a wood; it is a grass. Bamboo has been cultivated in China for over 4,000 years. It rejuvenates quickly, growing to maturity in 5-6 years. It is harder if cut from the bottom of the stalk.

This product presents a unique pattern intrinsic in bamboo in either its natural light tan/yellow-like color or, created through a steaming process, a medium honey-brown/carmel "carbonized" color. Some manufacturers also provide colors in any shade you can imagine.

Bamboo is offered in horizontal, vertical, or strand configurations. The horizontal format reveals more the true character of bamboo while the vertical grain version accentuates the linear look. Strand bamboo is pressed together.
 
  Installation

Bamboo can be glued, floated or nailed down. Even though it may be prefinished, we recommend some to be acclimated one month prior to installation.

Care and Maintenance of Bamboo (same as wood flooring)

Sweeping with soft bristle broom or vacuuming with soft floor attachment. Use a professional wood floor cleaning product such as Bona Kemi hardwood floor cleaner. Use furniture glides on moveable furniture.
