strand woven bamboo flooring, tiger color, 130mm width, t+g.
Tiger Strand Woven Bamboo – Tiger bamboo is definitely a unique and unusual color rather than natural or caramel. Tiger bamboo looks very wild and rude. In compressed bamboo strips to strand woven block, a mixture of natural bamboo and caramel bamboo is made at certain ratio, like 30:70 or 40:60, after slicing, each plank has 2 colors of bamboo inside, not solely one color. Two colors on one board are very dramatically attractive.
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.
