![]() ![]() This test determines the ability of the wood to withstand denting and wear. The higher the rating, the harder the wood, and Moso bamboo rates almost twice that of oak and jarrah. The Janka Rating tests the hardness of wood and measures the force required to embed an 11.28mm steel ball halfway of its diameter into the wood. It is then compressed under high pressure to create beautiful flooring which is stable and yields high performance. The bamboo is harvested after only five to six years. The resulting flooring requires no further finishing and tops compression tests compared to other floorings such as oak, jarrah and kwila. It also outperforms other bamboos and hardwood timbers in carbon dioxide absorption and oxygen production. The pre-finish on the bamboo planks includes 12 topcoats of primer, anti-abrasion, UV filters and sealers. It is also durable and perfect for hypoallergenic indoor spaces.Īvailable in New Zealand through Woodland Lifestyle, Woodland Strandwoven Bamboo Flooring comprises Moso bamboo - one of the densest and hardest fibres of all the bamboo species, making it perfect for withstanding many years of foot traffic.

Individual flooring planks have interlocking joints that click precisely into place. Locking bamboo flooring is the easiest to install. ![]() The characteristic nodes of the bamboo are visible on the finished horizontal surface. In horizontal bamboo floors, the slats are arranged in a horizontal direction, on their widest edge, and then joined side by side with adjacent pieces using a high-pressure laminate system. The effect is a lined, almost uniform look to the surface of the finished floor plank. In vertical bamboo floors, the component pieces are stood vertically on their narrowest edge and then press laminated side to side. Manufactured bamboo floors are typically made available in planks with either vertical- or horizontal-grain orientation. ![]() Finally an ultraviolet curing lacquer is applied to the boards. The cured boards are then planed, sanded, and milled. The panels are then heat pressed to cure the adhesive. Bamboo flooring products that avoid formaldehyde use are available, including some listed in the GreenSpec Directory. Though the use of UF resins, which emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), is harmful to indoor air quality, bamboo flooring uses a relatively small amount compared with other materials, such as particleboards. Most bamboo flooring uses a urea-formaldehyde adhesive in the lamination process. ![]()
