The Eco-Shield Bamboo Flooring Range is made with carefully selected bamboo poles from FSC certified, natural bamboo forests. Once selected they are soaked in Boric acid, resulting in a pest resistant material. Once dried, the Bamboo poles are shredded into individual strands, combined with a low-VOC adhesive and fused under a cold press of 2,500 tons of pressure. Density Result: over 1,100 kg / m3 (twice as hard as oak). After the curing process, the block is milled into boards with a uni-click fitting system and a coating is applied.
