Bamboo flooring from Bamboo & Timber Select - a renewable resource
Bamboo flooring is uniquely different to traditional hardwood flooring
with unsurpassed elegant style, durability & exceptional beauty, whilst offering peace of
mind backed by our Manufacturer's Australian warranty.
Renewable Resource
Bamboo is actually a giant grass that has been around for 200 million years which after full
growth before harvesting is denser and stronger than traditional hardwoods. A truly natural
renewable resource that replaces itself every 5-6 years providing food, employment and housing.
Strength & Durability
One of the strongest building materials in the world with tensile strength per 28,000 per
square inch rivaling steel at 23,000. It's important when choosing your floor to consider
the hardness. A Janka rating measures the force required to dent timber, the Mosowood™
Bamboo is the second hardest flooring in the world.
Style
Special grains and colours are represented by the very distinctive styles and options available,
each uniquely different.
Colour
From a process called carbonization. Bamboo is similar to sugar cane and is coloured by a
steaming process during manufacturing, like burning the sugar or caramelizing in cooking
terms. This process sets the colour so that later when you do need to re-sand the colour
remains the same. It is not a stain but 'carbonised' or if you like colour all through
the boards.
Finishes
Pre-finished or unfinished. Factory finished or raw, the choice is yours. Finishes can be
Matt, Semi-Gloss, High-Gloss ready to walk on after installation, or maybe you would prefer
raw unfinished boards for those who like the traditional method polishing on site, these boards
can also be waxed or tung oiled.
