Bamboo Flooring A number of
bamboo flooring products are now available in North America, but most are manufactured in a very similar manner.
When we first learned about tongue-and-groove strip flooring made from bamboo several years ago, we found only a couple of suppliers in North America. A lot of people must think this is a product with a future, however, as now there are at least eight companies importing it.
Botanically, bamboo is not a wood at all, but rather a grass. Bamboo is attractive as a building material because it is very hard, strong, and dimensionally stable. Environmentally, it’s hard to argue with a wood-substitute that matures in three years, regenerates without need for replanting, and requires minimal fertilization or pesticides. In fact, these larger species of bamboo have been used in construction for thousands of years, and even in modern Asian cities it’s not uncommon to see a large concrete building being constructed from a
bamboo scaffolding.
After exploring options in China, Lewis opted to set up his own factory in Vietnam, in part because the farmers supplying him with bamboo own their own land and thus have an incentive not to harvest the shoots prematurely. Lewis also wanted control over conditions in the factory, so he could address environmental and worker safety concerns effectively.
The company that has sold the most bamboo in the U.S. is flooring distributor Smith & Fong Company of San Francisco. Their
bamboo flooring business has been doubling annually, according to Dan Smith, who says: “It’s making up a [noticeable] percentage of our business now.” They are continually expanding and diversifying their product line and now offer flooring accessories not available from the other companies, including stair nosing, reducer strips, thresholds, and beautiful grills. Smith acknowledges that, in a joint venture with the Chinese manufacturer, they have little control over environmental and worker safety issues. He looks forward to a time when they might own their own factory in order to be able to control these factors—an option that was not available in China when they started the joint venture. Smith & Fong and Plyboo America both claim rights to the “Plyboo” name—an issue that is now being taken up in court.
Both Smith & Fong and Bamboo Hardwoods are introducing longstrip or
floating floor products in addition to the standard strip flooring. Lewis reports that Bamboo Hardwood’s product consists of a bamboo veneer over a rubberwood core, using melamine glue. Rubberwood is produced from trees that are no longer productive in rubber plantations, so it is not an ecologically sensitive wood species. Lewis is also experimenting with a flooring consisting of a bamboo veneer over a substrate of rubber from old tires.
We installed a
floor of Bamboo Hardwood’s material and found that it installs just like standard hardwood flooring. The 3/8” thick strip flooring is not nailable with a standard flooring nailer, so we used a p
