Extreme Hardness - Ideal For High-Traffic Settings

Made of Bamboo strands pressed together with a durable resin, this gorgeous prefinished flooring offers the durability of the densest tropical hardwoods with the sustainability of Bamboo. Its wood-like grain is less linear than traditional Bamboo flooring, and its extreme hardness makes it ideal for high-traffic settings.

Our Strand-Woven Bamboo is sold by the box. Each box contains 23.42 sq ft. / $5.89 per sq ft

Here's how EcoTimber Woven Bamboo compares to some of our competitors:

EcoTimber Woven Bamboo Competitors
• Raw material dried to 7% moisture content before pressing, minimizing moisture trapped inside the pressed beam

• Raw material dried to 8-14%, trapping moisture inside the pressed beam

• No wood fillers required as material is shredded and compressed into a solid block with no voids • Wood fillers required to fill voids between larger strands of Bamboo that are crushed together
• Pressed beams are dried to 7% moisture content again through special proprietary drying technique prior to sawing • Beams are not thoroughly redried after pressing
• Sawn planks are kept at 7% moisture content throughout milling, finishing and packaging • Sawn planks dried to 8-18% moisture content. Humidity not controlled during milling, finishing and packaging
• Matte finish by Bona of Sweden formulated specifically for strand-woven Bamboo provides enhanced flexibility, adhesion,and scratch resistance • Brittle, more glossy finishes scratch easily, and don’t adhere well to strand-woven resin

 PLEASE NOTE: Acclimation will progress more slowly with Strand Woven Bamboo than with most hardwoods due to its extreme density. In dry climates, proper acclimation may require several weeks.

Also, when checking the moisture content of Strand Woven Bamboo, pin-type moisture meters can give misleading readings because the resin content of the material inhibits its electrical conductivity. Non-intrusive surface meters tend to give more accurate readings than pin-type meters, but they are still not completely accurate. (If you choose to use a surface meter, set it for the standard Douglas Fir correction and then subtract 3%.) We strongly recommend oven dry tests as the only truly accurate way to measure Strand Woven Bamboo’s moisture content. (To measure moisture content via an oven dry test, cut, number and weigh several samples. Dry them in an oven until their weights stop decreasing. Calculate the differences between the original weights and the final dry weights, then divide those differences by the final dry weights to find the actual moisture contents of each sample.)
