Shouldn't all rooms be living?
Today a growing worldwide awareness toward conservation and the use of regenerative building products is underway. Bamboo has recently been named the green building material for the 21st century. It's easy to understand the responsibility of conservation as the hardwoods of Brazil and the Amazon forests deplete at an alarming pace. While the maturation time for the common oak species is 60 years, the large moso bamboo takes only 6 years to achieve full maturation. The original bamboo plant is left unharmed in the harvesting process and quickly regrows for yet another harvest.
Horizontal Or Vertical grain?
The difference between vertical and horizontal grain types are in appearance. Personal preference dictates the choice for you.
The Horizontal grain refers to a wider slat in the floorboard. Boards in the horizontal grain become a striking decorative element, both visually appealing and comfortable. The horizontal grain is well suited for rooms where relaxing and entertaining demand equal time. Smooth slats with tonal variation pair exceptionally with the widest range of design themes.
The Vertical grain option features narrower slats turned on side. Vertical grain boards take form in the combination of graceful clusters of slats distinctly sliced in a narrow fashion. After careful shaping, lathing and sanding, a minimalist glimpse of the side or "Vertical" part of the bamboo cane results. Known for its versatility, the sleek board appearance of the Vertical Grain spans all design themes from traditional to ultra contemporary.
Carbonized or Natural color?
The Carbonized option is created using a simple steaming process. The carbonized tone is prized for its earthen color palette and whimsical tone variation. Rich tones of chocolate brown fill the home with comfortable warmth and an understated formality. The carbonized pieces complement an eclectic array of wood tones from light maple to the darkest of walnut, thanks to their chocolate brown base tone. Designing with color just became a little easier as well.
The Natural color option provides an illuminating variation of neutral tones, versatile enough for use in any decor. The expressive board-to-board tone variation gives you unlimited design potential. Feel free to fill your world with color; just leave your inhibitions at the door. The neutral brushed canvas "every-day-shade" of the natural bamboo provides the perfect platform for the introduction of various design and color themes.
Premium Green 3' solid Bamboo features:
No additives: There is a difference. Premium Green Bamboo is produced exclusively using European Dyno brand adhesives. The adhesives are free of components classified as hazardous to the environment. No solvents, heavy metals or bactericides were used in the making of this floor. This Premium Bamboo floor meets or exceeds European Union (more strict than U.S. regulations) Formaldehyde requirements.
Environmentally friendly. From the bamboo itself, to the low-emission glues utilized, Premium Green Bamboo floors are created with minimal environmental impact. There isn't a flooring available with lower environmental impact.
"A" grade "Moso" bamboo. Managed forests of individually time dated and tagged canes that are at the peak of their density, approximately 6 years old, are harvested for Premium Green Bamboo. If harvested any earlier than this, the bamboo is not as dense; harvested any later and it's in decline.
Construction superior. The edges of our boards are clean and sharp, the surfaces smooth and clear. The layers of our flooring are dense and tightly packed, gap free.
Milling consistent. Our flooring dimensions are consistent across boards and across lots. Tongues and grooves are tight and gap-free.
Durability. Bamboo offers a Hardness rating comparable to that of other species commonly used for flooring such as Oak and Maple. The moisture stability of the product allows for flexible installation methods such as direct glue down over concrete or traditional nail down on wood. Install bamboo in virtually any room in your house. With both the Natural and Carbonized versions, the color on the surface is the same color all the way to the core. This means if scratches, dents, or gouges do occur, they are less noticeable and easier to repair. Compare the concept to the radish, where the color of the surface is different from the core, and the carrot, where the color stays consistent all the way through.
Finishing Touch. The level of sheen is satin glow. The 11 step finishing process, in which 8 coats of German manufactured Treffic Aluminum Oxide Finish are applied, achieves the finest finish available. Each layer is individually cured with Ultra Violet light. Beautiful finish depth combined with abrasion- and scratch-resistance and No-wax easy daily maintenance results. Top-quality materials and exacting construction standards ensure the lasting performance of Premium Green Bamboo floors.
Certified. The factory is ISO 9000 certified. Not only does this mean production of a quality product but a quality product consistently, time after time.
Q. Does the bamboo flooring come with t-molding and molding to make stairs out of it as well?
A. Yes, we stock a complete line of flooring trim as well as wall base and quarter round. Stair nosing is available. The stair nose is a flush mount with a groove in the back that meets up to the tongue of the board. We also stock 42" and 72" full stair treads in bamboo. All available in both vertical and horizontal grain types in carbonized and natural tones.
Q. Is the 3' bamboo floor solid?
A. Yes, this floor is made up of solid bamboo. This is one of the few flooring products that is also considered engineered. This is due to the physical makeup of bamboo. Many slats are adhered together to make up the solid board of bamboo.
Q. Can I glue this floor directly down to concrete?
A. Yes, this is one of the few solid floors that can be glued directly down to concrete. The other solid floor that can be glued down is the Passport I exotic collection on this site.
Q. One of your competitors said bamboo floors at this price are "B" grade. Is it?
A. We only carry Premium Grade "A" bamboo with a full 25 year wear warranty and a lifetime board structural warranty. The brand is Premium Green (R). Based in Georgia, they were one of the original bamboo flooring brands in North America and industrywide know for exacting standards.
Q. My neighbor bought bamboo floors and I can see dents. I thought bamboo supposed to be really really hard?
A. Bamboo has an official Janka rating that puts it a little harder than oak, about the same as maple. This means it is about average in terms of hardness. Really hard woods that do not show dents as easily are exotic species like Brazilian Walnut, Argentine Cherry, Brazilian Cherry, Santos Mahogany, and so on. There is also a new exotic bamboo flooring option by Premium Green called Strand Woven with a Janka hardness rating that is the same as Brazilian Walnut. Strand Woven has a 3000 PSI Janka rating and is hard to dent, is responsible green building, and looks amazing.
Q. Does this floor lock together with a tongue and groove that clicks?
A. No, this is a nail down or glue down solid bamboo floor. The engineered glueless floating version on this site is call the Premium Green Loft collection and is available in the horizontal or vertical grain type in both carbonized and the natural color option.
