Bamboo flooring in Melbourne: what strand-woven means
Bamboo is a fast-growing grass, not a tree. For strand-woven bamboo the stalks are split into fibres, pressed together under high pressure and cut into boards. The result is a dense, hard board with a grain unlike any timber. The ranges on this page are strand-woven bamboo in a 14mm board.
Where bamboo flooring suits
Bamboo suits living rooms, bedrooms and halls. Like timber it is a natural material that takes up and gives off moisture, so it is not a floor for bathrooms or laundries, and spills should be wiped up soon. Felt pads under furniture and mats at outside doors keep grit off the surface.
Colour and grain
Natural bamboo is pale, and darker tones come from heat treatment or stains. Look at a large sample or a full board: the streaky grain of strand-woven bamboo only shows on a larger piece.
Bamboo or timber?
Bamboo flooring is used like a timber floor and sits well beside timber furniture, but it is made from a grass that regrows after harvest. Strand-woven bamboo gives a hard surface for busy living areas. If you want a real hardwood grain, compare with our engineered timber flooring and our solid timber flooring.
Installing and caring for bamboo
Follow the maker's install guide for how long the boards rest in the home before laying and for the gaps at walls and doorways. For care, sweep or vacuum grit away and use a damp mop, not a wet one.
