Engineered Bamboo Hardwood Floors

Engineered bamboo hardwood flooring is highly durable and impact resistant for commercial or residential use. Engineered floors expand and contract less than solid hardwoods making them more stable for homes and areas with high humidity or temperature variations.

By definition engineered flooring is cross laminated like plywood. It is manufactured with three layers - a wear layer, backing and core for dimensional stability. Prefinished horizontal or vertical grains are available in natural blond or a darker carbonized color.

Pine, rubberwood form sturdy cores while aluminum oxide and a hardened urethane topcoat makes a hardwood finish that resists scratches and dents. When necessary the top coat can be reapplied without sanding.

Glue bamboo wood flooring onto concrete, nail down into a wooden subfloor or apply glueless click-lock tiles for a floating floor over vinyl, or other hard surfaces. Buy the best quality moso bamboo - precision milled hardwood longstrip planks. Install in rooms above or below grade or in the upper storey. Bamboo parquet tile is another beautiful product.

Not all floors are created equal. Quality, warranty and price vary among manufacturers. Follow instructions for subfloor preparation, job site conditions and acclimation before installation.

Buy from major manufacturers such as Morning Star bamboo flooring. They offer good, better and best levels of quality - buy the best that your budget will allow. Hawa bamboo flooring is another quality product recommended by experienced installers.
