Natural color in strand woven bamboo can be characterized to produce very light toned color stains, giving the bamboo flooring its inherited natural and earthy look of botanical bamboo.

Strand woven bamboo flooring is made by cutting down mostly moso bamboo grown in Anhui Province. The bamboo is cut into strips which are then boiled in a solution of water and boric acid to draw out the sugars in the bamboo which attract termites. Then the strips are compressed under high temperatures with a low VOC adhesive.

Strand woven bamboo has a Janka Hardness of over 2,000 pounds force making it harder than such famous hardwoods as oak, hickory, ash and maple. This is a key benefit of strand woven bamboo flooring, namely it is incredibly strong and durable and suitable for high traffic situations.
