Whatever your home interior or décor style, Bamboo Flooring is sure to make your home look striking!

Bamboo used for flooring is mostly always the same species, but there are significant differences caused by environmental conditions. Where it grows, what time of year it is harvested, the age of the bamboo, the soil chemistry and the amount of rain are all variables that will affect the hardness and stability of bamboo.
During the carbonization process, bamboo loses about 20% of its hardness. The fibers are weakened by the presence of high-pressure steam, which is used to change the bamboo strips to a coffee color. The color change is found throughout the entire plank and this creates many different tones.

The best bamboo for flooring grows on the top portion of a mountain with moderate rain, is five to eight years old, is harvested in the winter, and is five to seven inches. The bamboo harvested in these provinces is harder and more stable than other locations due to the environmental conditions.
