Types of Bamboo Flooring

Traditional bamboo has signature vertical lines. The bamboo is shredded and pressed into sheets to form long vertical planks to create a clean look that offers a classic foundation for your space.

Stranded

Stranded bamboo is crafted from shredded bamboo fibers to create logs that are then cut into planks. The process results in ultra-dense and durable flooring.
