Why
the
Bamboo
Wood
Floor is
considered
Eco-Friendly?
The
bamboo
plant is
considered
as the
fastest
growing
woody
plant.
It
reaches
full
maturity
in five
to six
years
depending
on the
climate.
In
comparison,
other
hardwoods
used for
flooring
can take
upwards
of 50
years to
regenerate.
Bamboo
offers
about 25
times
the
yield of
hardwood
and it
is more
sustainable
and
renewable.
The
bamboo
plant is
harvested
and
replenished
with
virtually
no
impact
on the
environment.
It
constantly
regenerates
its self
by
sending
runners
that
result
in new
canes.
Even
when
poor
agricultural
techniques
are
used,
the
topsoil
is not
damaged
when the
cane is
harvested.
In fact,
the
bamboo
plant’s
dense
leaf
will
actually
improve
the soil
over
time.
Horizontal
Bamboo
Wood
Floor
Bamboo
wood
floors
typically
are
constructed
with two
orientations;
horizontal
or
vertical.
In the
horizontal-grain
orientation,
the
individual
nodes
(refereeing
to the
joint in
the
bamboo
cane)
are more
visible
with
about
four
node
strands
per
plank.
In
general
there is
very
little
noticeable
advantage
between
the two
when it
comes to
strength.
It is a
choice
of wood
floor
ascetics
and
personal
preference.
The
price
difference
comes
from the
labor
associated
in
constructing
the
bamboo
wood
floor
strands.
Please
refer to
the
pictures.
Carbonized
Bamboo
Wood
Floor
The term
carbonized
refers
to the
process
of
giving
it the
darker
amber
tone to
the
bamboo
wood
plank.
The
carbonized
bamboo
floor is
achieved
with a
heat and
smoke
process.
The
grade of
the
bamboo
floor is
rated
based on
the
consistency
of the
colorization
process;
the
higher
the
consistency
of the
floor,
the
higher
the
grade.
Please
refer to
the
GRADE
“A”
Bamboo
Wood
Floor
section
to learn
more
about
grade.

In

to

it is
actually
22%
harder

as
strong.

Bamboo
wood
floors
typically
expand
and
contrast
approximately
50% less
than
other
hardwood
floors.
Bamboo
is
considered
incredibly
durable.
Its
favorable
characteristics,
allows
bamboo
floors
to be
installed
in homes
with
climates
where
high
humidity
and
temperature
variations
exists
and
other
forms of
hardwood
are
simply
impractical. |
Grade
“A”
Bamboo
Wood
Floor
As a
manufacturer
produces
the
bamboo
wood
planks,
they
grade
the
plank
based on
color
consistency
and wood
structure.
Grade
“A”
quality
is
obtained
when the
wood
plank’s
color is
consistent
and with
basically
no wood
defects.
Many
wholesalers
selling
on the
internet
change
the name
and do
not
refer to
their
wood
flooring
based on
grade.
They
generally
use
names
such as
premium
bamboo,
supreme
bamboo,
etc. to
confuse
the
consumer
about
the
quality
of their
bamboo.
They
tend to
mix
their
products
with
Grade
“A” and
Grade
“B”
quality
in order
to
reduce
the
price.
What
ends up
happening
is that
the
installer
ends up
producing
more
waste.
The
consumer
is
tricked
into
thinking
they
paid
less per
square
foot,
but if
they
take
inconsideration
the
waste
produced
the
price
per
square
foot is
much
higher.
Of
course,
the
consistency
of the
floor is
also
lower.
At Floor
Junkies,
we
teamed
up with
one of
the
largest
and
bamboo
producers
in the
world.
When you
pay for
your
product
you can
be
assure
that you
will get
the
quality
we
advertise.

Q. I need a smaller amount of product than the minimum order. Where do I go from here?
A. Please consult your local Yellow Pages for information on retailers that sell in smaller quantities.
Q. Does Floor Junkies ship to residences? How does that work?
A. Yes. We ship to residential addresses. Some products require a vehicle with a lift-gate, depending on weight. The pallets would be lowered to the ground and pulled onto your driveway with a pallet-jack. You may be required to unload the vehicle yourself. Building materials are heavy and will require proper equipment or labor to accept goods on delivery. Please check weight of goods before they are delivered so you are properly prepared.
Q. How can I see the product on the pallet before I buy?
A. You can see the product locally (Houston, TX) during our business hours. We suggest ordering a sample. Our samples are always free! You only pay for FedEx shipping and handling. Contact us at
