China New Product Carbonized Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring - Floating Solid Natural Vertical Bamboo Indoor Flooring – Xunchao

How Bamboo Flooring is Made

Once the bamboo has been harvested, the outer layer of green “skin” is removed and each stalk is cut into lengthwise strips or “fillets”. These curved fillets of bamboo are milled along their outer edges in order to flatten them.  The excess elements of this process will go into another type of bamboo flooring that is called “strand-woven bamboo flooring” – more on that later. The flattened strips of bamboo are then kiln dried in order to remove the natural moisture in the bamboo, and are then boiled.  The bamboo fillets are now ready to be glued together to make a solid, dependable surface that is more than suitable for flooring.  The bamboo undergoes one final compression stage, which makes it that much more durable and ready to ship.  Tongue and groove elements are added in order to make an installation as easy as possible. It should be mentioned that the outcome of this manufacturing process is dependent on which kind of bamboo flooring is being made.  There are several types of bamboo flooring, both in terms of cut and of color, and some differences in how they are processed.

Natural and Carbonized Bamboo Flooring

Along with choices in style you may wish to consider in bamboo flooring, there is also the question of color.  Bamboo flooring is available in two colors – natural and carbonized.  The color is determined at the boiling process.  Natural bamboo appears in a creamy blonde color that is known to add a touch of brightness to an interior.  Carbonized bamboo is characterized by its smoky, caramel hue which is the result of a longer boiling process which causes the remaining starches in the bamboo to caramelize.  It should be noted that by the end of the respective boiling processes, the natural remains to be the slightly harder bamboo flooring. The carbonization process which defines carbonized bamboo reduces the bamboo’s hardness by about 30%.  It must also be noted that even though this is true, both colors of bamboo flooring can still be classified as being as hard as some hardwood species.
