ABOUT BAMBOO FLOORING

It is important to allow bamboo flooring to acclimatise before it is laid. This means opening the boxes flat for two days before laying. There are three methods of laying: secret nails; floating; and gluing. In each case the floor must be level, clean and dry. In a floating floor the edges of the bamboo planks are glued together, and the whole lies over a soft underlay.

LEADING UK SUPPLIERS OF BAMBOO FLOORING

Bamboo Flooring Company. Bamboo flooring is one of the hardest natural materials available for flooring and is a good alternative to hardwood flooring. Bamboo has a higher fibre rating than any hardwood, which gives it exceptionally hard wearing qualities. Because bamboo is a rapid growing grass and not wood, it can be harvested every three to five years, unlike fifteen to twenty five years for most wood. This makes bamboo an environmentally friendly product. Bamboo Flooring Company supplies a wide range of bamboo flooring, including natural horizontal bamboo flooring, natural vertical bamboo flooring, carbonised horizontal bamboo flooring and carbonised vertical bamboo flooring.

Panda Bamboo Flooring. Panda Bamboo Flooring is supplied from renewable forests, and is made from high quality bamboo canes which are at least 3 years old. It is available in a range of finishes, including gloss and matt. Panda offers an installation service. All Panda bamboo flooring is finished in a strong varnish top coat.
