Bamboo flooring horizontal grain

The bamboo flooring horizontal grain option brings a unique and interesting knuckled pattern. This configuration is used quite often and can be considered the standard appearance that people expect from bamboo flooring. We at the flooring professor have numerous successful installations of this product. But do not be fooled the popularity of bamboo has many grades of this product flooding the market and promises to only get worse.

Because of this it is important that you understand what can cause the differences in bamboo flooring quality and durability.

How readily available is horizontal grain bamboo?

Our experience has been that horizontal grain bamboo floors are readily available in the U.S. where we do our business. We have not had this products availability affect the timely completion of any customer project to date. There is always the possibility with the growing popularity of this product that availability could become a problem in the future. At this point we do not foresee that happening any time soon.

When it is installed the horizontal grain offers a beautiful and functional flooring option for any home. As you can see the knuckled pattern we refer to (which most people consider the standard look of bamboo and is consistent with what most people expect it to look like) is quite obvious when installed in a larger area such as shown here.

The bamboo flooring horizontal grain configuration is available in both natural and carbonized. as you can see in the natural configuration the knuckles are a bit less pronounced than in some of the carbonized floors. The dimensional stability of bamboo flooring horizontal grain is very high because it utilizes many layers of material fused together in a horizontal configuration during the manufacturing process. If you should choose the bamboo flooring horizontal grain option we know you will enjoy it for years to come.
