strand woven bamboo flooring, caramel color, 96mm width, t+g.
Carbonized Strand Woven Bamboo - Carbonization is the process where the fiber are heated until they darken in color. These planks are then pre-finished with the 8 layer aluminum oxide/ polyurethane coating.
Strand Woven Bamboo is the hardest floor available today as can be seen from the official Janka Test results - Janka Hardness Rating of 3000 PSI, it has a highly distinctive grain with a look resembling that of traditional teak hardwoods. Strand woven bamboo made using a unique manufacturing process that is different from all other bamboo flooring types – by heating long strands of bamboo, and compressing them under extreme pressure, to achieve highest density and most beautiful color.
Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring Manufacturing Process:
Step 1: Dried bamboo poles are shredded into fine strips, dissecting and opening the cell structure of the plant.
Step 2: The bamboo strips are immersed in non-toxic, water based glue, which fills and encapsulates the exposed cells.
Step 3: A precisely measured quantity of bamboo strips is fused together under the high pressure of a 2500-ton cold press, producing blocks similar in size and shape to railroad ties. The cold press uses no heat and no toxic or harmful chemicals.
Step 4: The solid block is left to stabilize in a resting position for 30 days before being processed into flooring material.
Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring Features:
1) Cold Pressed – our Bamboo flooring produced with Cold Press process, which can achieve greater uniformity in density, color and moisture content, as well as a more appealing appearance.
2) Value – much more higher density than hardwood timber but reasonably prices as bamboo is technically a grass, one of the strongest materials in the world and fast-growing renewable material.
3) Termite resistant – 100% resistant to termites as bamboo has been well treated with the boiling and drying to remove sugar and insects.
4) Healthy – No toxic fumes. With 0.01mg formaldehyde per cubic meter of air (<E1), the adhesive used to laminate the Bamboo strips that form the flooring. Off-gases 16% less than the European Standards (EN) of 0.13mg.
5) Easy Maintenance – Requires no special cleaning treatment, Just sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dust and dirt. Damp mop or clean occasionally. Yearly wax/oil.
