What is Bamboo Flooring?
Bamboo flooring is now recognised as one of the world’s finest hardwood flooring timbers, a premium replacement for traditional timber floors made from the stalks of bamboo. Solid Bamboo flooring is an engineered product manufactured to exacting standards that utilises state of the art manufacturing equipment to process the Bamboo in to multi-layered, tongue and groove boards.

Why Is Bamboo Flooring Associated With “Eco-Friendly”?
Our Bamboo products allow you to have a quality timber alternative without damaging forests anywhere - we only prune living Bamboo, and harvest the same plant every six years. Because it is a harvested grass that lives for 200 to 250 years, it continually regenerates itself and for this reason is a truly renewable, sustainable resource. Quality standards ensure the environment is protected during the manufacturing process. It is harvested under strict control, kiln dried, milled, fabricated and finished. No pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers are used in the growing process and no toxins or formaldehydes in manufacturing.

What style of Floor Finish (Coating) Is Used?
All our solid Bamboo-flooring boards are protected against insects, rot and mildew. The surfaces are pre-finished with 5 water based coatings and two top coats of solvent free refinishable scratch resistant aluminium oxide wear and UV protection in either a gloss or satin finish.

Is It Possible To Re-Finish Bamboo Flooring?
Yes, definitely! The flooring can typically be re-finished as you would for timber flooring.

Can Bamboo Flooring Be Installed Over ‘In-Floor’ Heating?
Yes. Because of its natural dimensional stability, Bamboo flooring is perfectly suited over ‘in-floor’ heating but only as a floating floor.

What Kind Of Maintenance Is Necessary For Bamboo Flooring?
Maintenance is simple: Vacuum or damp mop as needed to remove loose dirt or grit before it can scratch the surface. For hard to remove spots, use a citrus based solvent. Preventative maintenance goes a long way in assuring a long lasting beautiful floor, below are a few suggestions:

1. Use dirt trapping floor mats inside and outside entry doors
2. Ensure flat pads are applied to the foot of all chair legs, tables and furniture
3. Make sure that high heels are in good repair as they can do severe damage

Is There A Guarantee On Bamboo Flooring?
There is a manufacturers warranty to replace defective boards as a result of faulty material or manufacturing, excluding damage caused by negligence, water intrusion or improper maintenance.

Note: The colour of hardwoods is affected by natural light and your floor may change colour slightly with age. As timber is a natural product no two floors will be the same, nor is any sample shown an exact replica of what to expect, only an indication. Timber will vary in colour and grain between species, batches and mills; and variation between the colours and grains of boards should be expected.
