Bamboo
Bamboo flooring has become the most popular green flooring product. Although
commonly referred to as wood flooring, bamboo technically is not wood - it's grass. As
such, it grows quickly and isn't destroyed when harvested. It is environmentally friendly.
Bamboo is harvested in the "Bamboo Sea" as the locals in Hunan, China call it. The
bamboo is than carefully processed using advanced technology that provides a quality
product, which serves a lifetime of beauty and durability.
Three layer, cross laminated, all bamboo, tongue and groove planks are 3-5/8 inches wide by 5/8
inches thick. Standard length is 36". 24" and 72" lengths are also available. Each
package covers 21.5 sq. ft. and weighs about 50 lbs.
Bamboo flooring comes in two colors; Natural and Carbonized (Dark Brown). It is also
available unfinished and can be stained to any color. It can be sanded and refinished in
place up to five times.
Finish - Three coats of 100% solids U.V. cured Acrylic Urethane with Alum. oxide.
Also available unfinished.
Accessories - Reducers, Base Shoe, Stair Nosing and Stair
