Because bamboo flooring is the new type flooring which was only appeared in recent years, I am sure not all the people are familiar with it, what’s worse, some people have wrong viewpoints on bamboo flooring, for example, when talking about bamboo flooring, people would think that it is easy to be damaged by worms because it is mainly made from bamboo raw material. In fact, manufactured with modern technology, bamboo flooring has better performance on its durability compared with other flooring such as solid wood flooring, so please take it easy to make your purchase decision.

In the following article, I will mainly discuss four common wrong knowledge on bamboo flooring.

First misunderstanding, the older bamboo used as raw material, the better quality of flooring.

In people’s viewpoint, the older bamboo is more solid, so that after being manufactured into bamboo flooring, it is also solid. Let me tell the fact to you, bamboo with five or six years growth age is the best raw material for flooring manufacture because at this phase bamboo has the best elasticity and flexibility. If the bamboo growth time is below four years, it has poor performance of strength and hardness, on the contrary, if its growth time is over six years, the bamboo fiber is already aged, its tenacity is very poor and it is more fragile.

Second misunderstanding, the thicker bamboo flooring, the better quality. Compared with wood material, bamboo itself has better performance of bending resistance, generally speaking, the bamboo flooring with 15mm thickness already has the enough compression resistance and impact resistance performance, meanwhile, its texture is very good, when walking on it, people will feel more comfortable.

Third misunderstanding, bamboo flooring is easy to be cracked. In fact, during flooring production process, flooring, no matter bamboo flooring or solid wood composite floor, will be consolidated with cementing compound, then they will be bonded together under high temperature and high pressure environment, as a result, it has enough ability to adapt humidness change and temperature change. Don’t worry about so-called crack condition.

Fourth misunderstanding, bamboo flooring is easy to be damaged by worms and went mouldy. As you know, bamboo is easy to be damaged by worms because lots of nutrient substances such as carbohydrate, starch, amino acid, protein and so on are contained inside, however, this is not the case for bamboo flooring because corresponding production measures will be used to avoid such problems. For example, bamboo will be boiled under high temperature environment, which is useful for mildew proof and insect prevention, meanwhile, bamboo will be also carbonized under high temperature environment so that all these nutrient substances will be resolved.
