subject: Types of Bamboo Flooring [print this page] 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.
