Types of Bamboo Flooring Offered
We provide several types of bamboo flooring to meet different needs, styles, and budgets. Each type has unique features in strength, appearance, and installation options to help you find the right fit for your space.
Strand Woven Bamboo
Strand woven bamboo is made by compressing bamboo fibers under high pressure, creating a dense, hard floor. This type is one of the strongest bamboo options available, making it durable and resistant to dents and scratches. It works well in high-traffic areas or homes with pets.
Its look is often more textured and darker than traditional bamboo. Because of its density, strand woven bamboo tends to be heavier and less flexible but offers excellent stability over time. We recommend it for those wanting a tough floor that will last many years without much wear.
Engineered Bamboo Flooring
Engineered bamboo flooring has a bamboo top layer bonded to multiple layers of plywood. This construction reduces the risk of warping or shrinking due to changes in humidity and temperature.
It can be installed over radiant heat and is suitable for basements and areas where solid wood flooring might not hold up well. Engineered bamboo usually comes in click-lock or tongue-and-groove styles for easier installation.
This type gives you a good balance between natural bamboo look and improved moisture resistance, suitable for most homes.
Solid Bamboo Planks
Solid bamboo planks are cut directly from bamboo stalks and milled into flooring boards. This type offers a traditional, natural bamboo appearance with smooth flat surfaces.
Solid bamboo can be sanded and refinished multiple times, which extends its life span. However, it is more sensitive to moisture and humidity changes.
We suggest solid bamboo if you prefer an authentic bamboo look and plan to install it in dry, stable environments like living rooms or bedrooms. It requires proper maintenance to keep its best condition.
Bamboo Flooring Installation Process
01
Initial Consultation and Measurement
We visit your property to take accurate measurements of the rooms. This helps us estimate how much material you’ll need and plan the installation efficiently. We also discuss the style and type of bamboo flooring that fits your home and budget.
02
Subfloor Preparation
We inspect the surface to make sure it’s clean, dry, and level. Uneven areas can cause problems like gaps or squeaks later. If needed, we repair or replace parts of the subfloor to create a solid base.

Project Planning and Customization
We work closely with you to make sure every detail fits your needs and style. From choosing the right bamboo finish to setting a clear timeline, we guide you through each step so the installation goes smoothly.
Design and Finish Options
We offer a range of bamboo styles to match your space. You can pick from natural, carbonized, or strand-woven bamboo, each with its own look and durability. Finishes include matte, glossy, or satin, letting you control the shine and feel underfoot.
We also help with custom patterns if you want a unique floor design. Our experts advise on color tones and plank widths to match your room’s style and lighting. We make sure the flooring complements your home while standing up to everyday wear.
Timeline and Scheduling
Before installation, we assess the area and discuss your available dates. We strive to fit into your schedule with minimal disruption. Typical installations take one to three days depending on the project's size and complexity.
We communicate clearly about start times and any prep work needed, like moving furniture or removing old floors. If any delays happen, we'll inform you right away and adjust plans to keep things on track. You can count on us to manage timing so the project finishes when promised.
Maintenance and Care for Bamboo Flooring
When it comes to floor demolition, choosing the right company makes all the difference in achieving safe, efficient, and high-quality results. We bring unmatched expertise, professional standards, and comprehensive coverage to every project we undertake.
Regular Cleaning Recommendations
To keep bamboo floors clean, we suggest sweeping or vacuuming regularly to remove dust and dirt. Use a soft broom or a vacuum with a floor-brush attachment to avoid scratches. For a deeper clean, use a damp mop with water or a cleaner made specifically for bamboo floors.
Avoid soaking your floors with water because too much moisture can cause warping. Clean spills immediately to prevent stains or damage. Don’t use steam mops or harsh chemicals, as they can harm the finish.
Protecting Your Floors from Damage
To protect bamboo floors, use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches. Avoid dragging heavy items across the floor. Use rugs or mats in high-traffic areas to reduce wear.
Keep pet nails trimmed to avoid scratches. Control indoor humidity between 40-60% to prevent bamboo from expanding or shrinking. Small scratches can be fixed with wood filler kits we recommend, keeping your floors smooth and even.
