What is Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring? Stand Woven Bamboo Flooring materials are created by cutting Moso Bamboo stalks, boiling the pieces to remove the sugars (a termite attractant), and then drying them for a period of time. The strands are subsequently pressed and flattened under high pressure with a low VOC adhesive. The result is a solid plank that is nearly twice as dense as regular Bamboo flooring.
Hardwood floors have always been very popular with home owners: they are beautiful, as well as easy to take care of and keep clean. Unlike carpet, which can harbour many allergens in its fibres, hardwood floors are especially suited to individuals who have problems with indoor or outdoor allergies. Today, however, there is an even better, more eco-friendly green building option than traditional hardwood available: Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring.
Choosing to install Bamboo flooring in your home can be a large undertaking. Therefore, it is important to look for quality and affordable pricing when making these decisions. As well as being an efficient renewable resource, Strand Woven Bamboo provides the answer to all your quality and price concerns. This magnificent product is a newly developed form of Bamboo flooring that was created primarily to address the durability issues of regular plank Bamboo versus traditional hardwoods.
Bamboo has been the traditional building material of choice throughout most of Asia for many centuries. However, it is only in the last decade or so that Bamboo has started gaining popularity in the west. Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring is created in a different way to plank flooring. Moso Bamboo stalks are cut into small pieces, boiled down, and then dried over time. The boiling process has the added benefit of removing all the sugars from the Bamboo ? essential for the prevention of termites. Once the Bamboo strands are dry, they are pressurized and flattened into planks with a low VOC adhesive that is used to mould the strands together. This process creates a solid Bamboo plank with a density virtually twice that of a regular Bamboo flooring plank.
In terms of durability, the high density created in this process makes Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring ideal for placement in high wear and high traffic settings. Not only is it the most durable Bamboo flooring, it is also the least waste-producing option. The process of chopping up and boiling down the Bamboo stalks uses up the entire Bamboo plant, unlike traditional solid Bamboo flooring processes that produce waste cutting material that does not fit into a traditional plank. If you are looking for flooring that is visually appealing, easy to care for, and environmentally friendly, Strand Woven Bamboo is an excellent choice. |
