Strand-Woven Bamboo
Strand-woven bamboo is created by shredding bamboo fibers and compressing them with adhesive under extreme pressure, producing material significantly harder than most hardwoods. This process transforms fast-growing bamboo into flooring that rivals Brazilian cherry in durability.
Unlike traditional bamboo flooring that shows the grass's distinctive nodes, strand-woven bamboo has a unique, compressed appearance. Colors range from natural blonde to deep carbonized tones, with the material accepting stains for additional color options.
