7 Misunderstandings of Bamboo Flooring Selection

Myth # 1: The better the bamboo, the better

Many consumers think that the older the bamboo is, the stronger and the bamboo flooring is stronger. This is not the case. Generally, bamboo flooring materials are bamboo aged 5-6 years. Bamboo is strong and flexible. In the following, bamboo is too soft, low in density, low in strength, and low in hardness; but bamboo is too old, fiber is aged, toughness is poor, and brittleness is large, so it is not the better the bamboo is.

Myth 2: The double-gap floor can be combined with no keel and nail

There is not much difference between double-mouth and single-mouth, and it is not yet possible to connect the bamboo flooring firmly into pieces without using keels and nails. In the case of wetness, the bamboo floor is easy to arch; in the case of shrinking, the bamboo floor will Sew. Therefore, the keel is required and the bamboo flooring is firmly fixed on the keel.

Myth 3: The thicker the bamboo flooring, the better

The flexural strength of bamboo is higher than that of wood. Bamboo flooring of 15mm thickness has sufficient bending, compressive and impact strength, and the foot feel is also good. Generally, bamboo is processed into bamboo pieces and the bamboo green and bamboo yellow parts are to be shaved. The thickness of green bamboo after going to the green is generally 5 mm, and the combination of three layers of bamboo bamboo into bamboo flooring is 15 mm.

Some manufacturers to cater to consumers, the thicker the better the state of mind, do not go green, do not go yellow, bamboo glued, although the thickness of bamboo flooring up to 17mm, 18mm, but the bonding strength is not good, easy to crack, this approach It is unscientific.

Myth 4: Bamboo Floors Are Easy to Worm and Moldy

Bamboo is rich in nutrients such as sugar, starch, amino acids and proteins, and it easily attracts insects and mildew. Bamboo flooring has been fully considered this characteristic of bamboo. First of all, consider that the longer the bamboo age, the less nutrients it contains, so the bamboo flooring should be selected as raw materials for bamboo that is more than 5 years old. In addition, high-temperature cooking is performed after opening the bamboo to prevent mold and insects. The carbonized bamboo flooring is subjected to high temperature treatment in the carbonization process, which also decomposes and degenerates the nutrients contained in the bamboo and kills the adults and eggs in the bamboo material. Finally, in the process of hot-pressing the bamboo into plates, high-temperature and high-pressure treatment are required to further lose the nutrients and kill pests and eggs. Therefore, bamboo flooring is a product made by high-temperature treatment. Unlike ordinary bamboo, it does not cause gall and mildew.

Myth 5: Bamboo flooring cracks

Bamboo flooring and solid wood flooring are all made of water-resistant adhesives bonded by high temperature and high pressure. The bonding strength is large enough to resist the stress caused by the general load and temperature and humidity changes, so it is not easy to crack under normal circumstances.

Myth 6: Bamboo flooring is not suitable for northern areas

Bamboo flooring, like multi-layer engineered wood flooring, is affected by the humidity in the air. However, manufacturers have taken into account the fact that the climate in the north is relatively dry. The moisture content of the bamboo flooring has been controlled to be low, and the bamboo flooring is surrounded on both sides and all around. The coating process is not sensitive to changes in the humidity in the air. Therefore, there is no problem in the use of bamboo flooring in the north. Bamboo flooring is now exported to Europe and North America in large quantities and can also adapt to the climatic conditions there.

Myth 7: Bamboo flooring is not as good as wood flooring

The bamboo structure is dense and delicate, with elegant colors and delicate fragrance. It is decorated with bamboo knots, showing a noble temperament and cultural atmosphere. There are many wood floor patterns and colors, but there are many dark colors, and there is no difference in the material and performance of the two types of floor. Therefore, the choice of bamboo flooring or wood flooring is entirely a personal hobby, just like the vegetables and radishes are all the same.
