Hello, I am interested in your Bamboo floor variety! however I would like to know if you can provide
1) stranded quality in equal length pieces – say 2 feet! reason: I want to pose the floor in a “herring bone” configuration
2) if you confirm the first question in the positive, what surface treatment do you offer?
3) what would be your price for 900 sqf ?
With warm regards, Leif Modeweg

Hello,
I am wondering how I will know if my bamboo flooring is treated with harmful chemicals and if you know of any of the more cost effective places that sell “safe” bamboo? Thank you.

I am also interested in how the process works for printing designs on the bamboo. I plan to use bamboo in my dining room and I am bit worried that the constant movement of the chairs will scratch the floor. How scratch resistant are they? And is there a way to fix the floor if a scratch appears?

thanks

I am interested in making bamboo products – making bamboo into ordinary looking wood. How do I acquire the technology? How expensive is the machinery that would do it? How much training would that take me? Is there any recommended place to do the training? (Finding enough amount of mature bamboo would not be a problem)

Can you describe the process for printing designs on bamboo flooring and provide some idea of how this process might impact durability?

In reply to Ron O’Dell.

Hi Ron,

Thank you for the inquiry.

Horizontal/vertical flooring is referring to the way that the Bamboo has been cut, laid and put together. In regards to horizontal flooring, the strips of Bamboo are laid flat so that the top surface shows the Bamboo’s natural growth rings or “knuckles”. When product a vertical floor, the strips of Bamboo are turned on their sides and molded together in long, slender rows creating a different appearance.

When manufacturing Bamboo by using these techniques, 60% of the actual Bamboo goes to waste. Instead of discarding this excess material, all these cut pieces are put to good use truly making Bamboo a Eco Friendly product.

Strand-woven flooring is made from the off cuts and strips of Bamboo being placed into a large vat, where they are mixed with resin, and exposed to extreme heat and pressure where they are slowly compressed. The result is a timber like product which is over twice as hard as regular Bamboo flooring and harder then Brazilian Cherry.

Hope this information is useful.

Thanks,

Julian

I have beenreading your articals on bamboo flooring and don’t understand the differences in the horizontal, vertical, and stranded version of bamboo. They all look pretty much the same from the pictures you show. Do you have any vedio on the making of bamboo flooring or know where I might obtain any of it. Thank You.
