Brave New World Bamboo Flooring DISCONTINUED
Engineered bamboo - three-ply horizontal or virtical strip flooring.

 

What is Bamboo? Bamboo grows in many regions of the world especially in warm climates where the earth is kept moist with frequent monsoons. Twenty percent of the world’s bamboo grows in China; much of that in the wild. Today, due to increasing demand, it is being cultivated more and more in managed forests. In this region, bamboo is emerging as an important agricultural crop of increasing significance to struggling economies.

Bamboo is a member of the grass family. This fact goes a long way toward explaining several of bamboo’s unique characteristics. Like grass, cutting bamboo does not kill the plant. An extensive root system remains intact, allowing for rapid regeneration. There are many species of bamboo.

Brave New World Bamboo uses only bamboo with 5 years of maturity, selecting the base of the stalk for its superior strength and hardness. Nothing is wasted in processing bamboo. When it comes to the environment, cork and bamboo are a perfect combination. Both are renewable, are harvested with no harm to their natural habitat, and produce materials that promote a healthy human environment.

Manufacturing Process - After harvesting, bamboo is cut into strips. These strips go through a sterilization process before being placed in large drying ovens to hasten their curing time. Selected strips are stacked in layers and glued with an environmentally safe adhesive prior to being put through a press to form panels from which flooring planks are milled.

For convenience and durability Brave New World Bamboo flooring is pre-finished. The aluminum oxide finish is unsurpassed in the industry. Six coats of finish ensure superior wear resistance.

Brave New World Bamboo Flooring is ecologically friendly, a healthy alternative to off-gassing surface flooring products, extremely durable, naturally beautiful, suitable to most any decor, and of the highest premium quality.
