General Information about Hardwoods
Exotic hardwoods are a precious commodity that is becoming increasingly popular with the growing construction industry. The widespread use of these hardwoods is causing the natural rainforests to be rapidly depleted at a rate of 30-50 million acres per year. If the destruction continues at this rate, these forests will be almost totally depleted within 30 years.
Most exotic hardwoods are much harder than their North American counterparts, and are much more stable in their engineered state. Their beauty and unique granting cannot be duplicated by any North American species and therefore, the demand for exotics continues to grow. In a nation overly concerned with beauty and appearance, it is impractical to expect consumers to stop utilizing these beautiful woods in their new or newly remodeled homes. It is this fact that encouraged us to develop an innovative new flooring product that incorporates the beauty of exotic hardwoods, while greatly minimizing the depletion of our natural resources.
General Information about Bamboo
Bamboo is a versatile and environmentally friendly product that has been used for thousands of years in numerous disciplines and settings. Mature plants are cut and used to make furniture, plywood, paneling, cabinets, countertops, scaffolding, and flooring. As the consumer demand and desire increases for environmentally friendly products, the uses for bamboo continue to skyrocket.
Bamboo has an extensive root system which is constantly growing and replenishing itself, resulting in overwhelmingly abundant resources. Because of its root system, bamboo is considered a grass, not a tree. It matures to its maximum growth after 3-5 years, and is then harvested for use in both commercial and residential applications. There are over 1100 different species of bamboo and not all varieties can be used for construction or consumer products. For example, the panda bear eats over 15 different varieties of bamboo, none of which can be used for flooring products. Moso, or hairy bamboo, is the species we use to make our bamboo flooring. It can grow up to 60 feet tall and have an 8-1.2 inch diameter within 3-5 years.

Wood Bamboo pre-finished flooring is finished using a system where 6 coats of polyurethane acrylic are applied. The total coating applied is 80-85 grams per square meter. In the second layer, aluminum oxide "ceramic" crystals are included. Each layer in the system is UV cured.
Wood Bamboo flooring has been tested pursuant to
ASTM C1028 which is an industry endorsed protocol for measuring the static coefficient friction of the surface under wet and dry conditions. Average Coefficient of Friction results were .731 (dry) and .925 (wet).
Adhesive used in Manufacturing:
ASTM El 333-96 is an industry accepted standard for measuring formaldehyde out gassing levels in urea formaldehyde based adhesives. All bamboo flooring manufacturers use urea formaldehyde resin in their laminating adhesives. It is the same adhesive used in all conventional interior plywood products as well. The standard set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is .3 ppm of formaldehyde. Wood-Bamboo flooring adhesives test at .04 ppm or about eight times better than the HUD standard.
