A few recommendations on the use of bamboo floors
Depending on the design of the board, bamboo floors can be longitudinal (with a longitudinal direction of the fibers) and transverse. Floors from the longitudinal bamboo always look more elegant. Bamboo fibers on this floor are less noticeable. At the same time, the use of transverse bamboo will give your floors a characteristic rough-contrast texture of the surface saturated with fine texture details. This type of bamboo floor is more suitable for smaller rooms.
If you want to give your room elegance, it is recommended to use a carbonized longitudinal coffee bamboo with a touch of cherry or walnut.
If you prefer the natural look of the floor, you will want to use unfinished bamboo parquet, which, as a rule, has a light color and will look great in a dimly lit or small room, creating the effect of airiness, space and increasing the width of the room.
When laying the floor of bamboo, keep in mind that the direction of the fibers in the bamboo strip is important. Make sure that to lay the floor in the room you have prepared in the required number of slats of the same type, or transverse or longitudinal. Combination of the strips of transverse and longitudinal bamboo is highly discouraged.
Try searching for a product line from a reputable manufacturer that has a solid history and offers a long-term guarantee. This is usually a sign of durability, which goes hand in hand with hardness. But make sure the company has been in business for a while, otherwise the warranty cannot say that much in the end.
Remember that the charred version is not just a colorful product. It is rich, dark colored as a result of the production stage, which consists of boiling the strips. This is why it gives a sweeter end result.
