Appearance: High quality strandwoven bamboo flooring comes with precisely cut strands arranged in parallel lines and interwoven together. It is a deep honey-amber color. The carbonized color is achieved by heat pressing the bamboo, not staining, which means it retains its color even after sanding. (The carbonizing process does not affect the durability of this flooring option.)
Properties: Strandwoven is a one-piece board since the strands are glued together. This makes it extremely durable and easy to care for. It is ideal for high traffic areas. Finished strandwoven floors have a rich texture that are extremely durable at an incredible 2820 PSI. This puts strandwoven flooring in the same category as Iron Wood and Brazilian Cherry in terms of durability, but is more affordable and much easier to work with.
