What is Strand Woven Flooring?

Bamboo is highly fibrous. Regular manufacturing methods normally laminate these fibers one on top of the other, but in the strand woven method, the fibers are woven together on an adhesive base, leading to a stronger plank.

Stranded woven floors are created when Bamboo stalks normally averaging five years of age are boiled in a solution of boric acid and water to remove sugar content as an anti- termite preventive measure. They are then dried thoroughly and weaved together.

The next process in the formation of strand woven flooring is crushing the woven material under extreme heat which is then milled to create boards. Following the milling, each board is sanded down and then coated with aluminum oxide, which is considered to be an excellent flooring finish. This endows the boards to withstand any tough conditions.

Strand woven flooring is considered as an upgrade to the traditional bamboo flooring. Strand woven Bamboo flooring is also allergen free, which can come as a boon to many household nursing asthmatic patients.

Uses

Strand Woven bamboo can be used in dry areas and where moisture content or the accumulation of moisture is less. Strand woven flooring can be used in living room, hallways, and bedrooms.

Bamboo Floor Maintenance

Like most wood floors, bamboo wood flooring too should be handled carefully. One should use a dust mop to remove the dirt and grime rather than splashing water to wipe the dirt. A bristled room can be used to remove the stubborn grit and dust from the crevices.

When it is necessary to mop, ensure that there is no extra water in the mop by wringing out all the water from the mop; mop should be wet not watery

 There is an erroneous perception among the homeowners that the floor planks made of strand woven bamboo are not as hard as real woods. The janka testing proves the fact that the strand woven is as hardy as the next wooden tree.
