Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring :- Hot Pressed Vs Cold Pressed

Strand woven bamboo flooring, also known as compressed-strand bamboo flooring, is considered as one of the most popular flooring choices due to its attractive pattern, matchless durability and great looks. Being moisture- and pathogen-resistant, it makes an excellent choice to install in both commercial and residential buildings. Strand woven bamboo flooring uses bamboo as its key building material. Bamboo is a type of grass that grows very fast and replenishes itself within 4-6 years of its harvest.

Bamboo Flooring Cupping - Prevention and Repairing

Cupping is a common problem with timber and bamboo flooring products. Cupping refers to the bowing of the material, resulting in a curved shape. Cupping is most commonly caused by moisture. The different sources of moisture include uncured concrete sub-floors, wet mopping, poor drainage, building leaks, leaking appliances, and moist concrete patches or levelers. Some other factors such as extremely dry conditions can also lead to cupping.
