Strand Woven or Compressed bamboo flooring is made up of thin strands of bamboo material which are woven together and impregnated with an adhesive
. This mixture is then heated under extreme pressure to create bamboo flooring with an attractive woven look and a beautiful pattern. Strand woven bamboo floors can also be produced from strands of both natural and carbonized bamboo, thus creating a unique and beautiful effect similar to tiger stripes. Engineered bamboo flooring consists of a surface layer of bamboo backed by multiple layers of pine, plywood or fiberboard underneath it.
