Strand woven bamboo flooring is opening a gap in our homes, thanks to a series of properties that make it unique among hardwood floors: hardness, stability, sustainable growth of bamboo plantations. Let’s get to know it thoroughly.

Bamboo is relatively new material in these latitudes but well known in other Far Eastern countries, for example, in China. It is a very hard fiber, which is also known as steel grass. In general, bamboo is considered more durable and resistant than other woods, and is also more stable (inert to contractions and dilatations) and elastic than oak.

As solid bamboo flooring material, the bamboo floor helps self-regulate the temperature of the house according to the temperature so in winter it is warm and in summer, cools. And also absorbs noise and is non-slip.

Uses of solid bamboo flooring:

The bamboo floor has several presentations: floating or solid bamboo flooring, floating bamboo flooring and exterior bamboo-based flooring. As in other types of floors, there are different types of strips to adapt to different environments.

For example, there is a suitable material for areas of high traffic such as shops, restaurants, and etc. In general, it is very compact slats whose hardness exceeds that of any other wood. A steel ball thrown on the ground does not leave a mark by the impact.

Installation of bamboo flooring:

It is necessary to entrust the installation of any bamboo floor to a good installer to ensure that he chooses the most suitable type of soil, installs it in optimal humidity and acclimatization conditions and finishes the baseboards, etc. with great neatness.

It is important to acclimatize the bamboo pallets two days before installing them, and it must be done at a temperature between 1 and 24oC, and high humidity, between 45 and 60 percent. Bamboo flooring is the last material that must be installed during the construction or renovation of a house. And you must always have a 10 mm perimeter joint, as well as expansion joints (in floating installation) on surfaces larger than 20 linear meters. In bathrooms, the recommended installation is by gluing. This type of floor is suitable for radiant heating.

Bamboo floor maintenance:

As with wood flooring in general, for indoor floor cleaning, it is recommended to vacuum or, in any case, a mop to remove dust and lint. To clean a stain on this type of floor, you can moisten a cloth or a mop lightly.

As for the ideal temperature, the bamboo floor requires a high relative humidity in the air (from 40 to 50 percent) and a temperature of about 20oC. Therefore, during the winter it is recommended to use a humidifier to counteract the environmental dryness caused by the use of heating.
