Springwood Bamboo Flooring
Springwood bamboo flooring is more stable than other hardwoods, due to the manufacturing and lamination process. Bamboo allows for less expansion and contraction, resulting in little to no visible gaps or cracks between the boards over time.Does Springwood flooring prevent delamination or cupping?
The 3-layered, staggered design of the horizontal and/or vertical floorboards provide additional support to prevent delamination. Springwood's flooring construction helps control expansion and contraction caused by seasonal changes in humidity and temperature. This process takes adjacent pieces of wood/bamboo and permanently bonds them under high pressure and heat. This type of construction makes it one of the most durable floors on the market.
Why select an engineered bamboo over other hardwood or bamboo flooring?
- Protects hardwood & bamboo forests from further deforestation.
Bamboo is an environmentally friendly, renewable resource that has been used as construction material for thousands of years. The harvesting of bamboo does not affect the world's already dwindling timber resources. Technically considered a grass, bamboo has the ability to grow to maturity in 4-6 years. The intricate root system remains unharmed upon harvesting and allows for sustainable future growth. Using bamboo is a natural alternative to traditional hardwood flooring, while at the same time maintaining the environment in a responsible way.
- Superior dimensional stability.
Bamboo flooring has greater dimensional stability and therefore less expansion and contraction than traditional wood floors. Adding to its natural strength, the lamination process prevents expansion and contraction. The end result is a beautiful floor that ages well over its lifetime.
- Durable factory finish.
The aluminum oxide finish applied during the manufacturing process makes prefinished bamboo flooring more durable and more resistant to indentation and abrasion when compared to traditional flooring finishes.
Why purchase a Springwood bamboo floor over other floors?
- Monitored bamboo and wood harvesting procedures mitigate environmental impact.
- Springwood is ISO9001 certified.
- Springwood is a leader in the manufacturing of engineered bamboo.
