LEED Certification: Bamboo Building Materials

To find the hardness of bamboo flooring, our Strand Woven Commercial Grade flooring has been tested on the Modified Janka Hardness Test.

Hardwood vs Bamboo Flooring

At 4570 pounds force, for our Gold Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring Hardness,
and 4509 for our Coffee Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring Hardness, these exceed nearly all other wood flooring durability:

Mahogany (800), Red Oak (1643), Hickory (1812),
Pecan (1820), Ipe (2168), Brazilian Redwood (2689),
Ebony (3220), Curupy (3880)

Combined with UV-cured Aluminum Oxide fortified Poly-urethane, this is the best style of flooring for maximizing bamboo flooring durability.

The key advantage to an Aluminum Oxide finish is abrasion resistance, and for commercial applications we warranty our product against wear-through for three years of constant commercial use and give a Lifetime Warranty in residential applications. For certain applications, a scratch resistant coating in addition to an abrasion resistant coating may be advisable.

Please also be reminded that Strand Woven bamboo flooring is different than horizontal or vertical bamboo flooring. Horizontal bamboo flooring hardness is 1712 and vertical bamboo flooring hardness is 1999. These are similar to the hardness of Red Oak, and of course can be more or less depending on the sample.

Bamboo Flooring Quality Counts!


	5 MOST IMPORTANT QUALITIES For Your Bamboo Floor
	Correct Moisture Content ...
	Grade A + Six Foot Lengths ...
	Lifetime Warranty ...
	Competitive Price ...
	Valuable Consulting ...
	*Plus, all the crucial flooring accessories* with a very large selection ...**

When considering the bamboo flooring quality there are several points to investigate.

Almost all regular bamboo floors look the same.
So what makes Four Winds Bamboo Flooring & Products different?

Correct Moisture Content - our bamboo is kiln dried, our warehouse is climate monitored and we give acclimation instructions and advice.

We carry six foot lengths - not three. Three foot lengths give a choppy appearance, using twice as many boards with twice as many spaces between boards.

We stand behind our products with a Lifetime Warranty!

We have the flooring in stock in our warehouse in Boulder, Colorado.

Our products are from a single source - which gives us a more reliable and uniform inventory - giving you more assurance of quality.

Bamboo is harvested after five and a half years - allowing for full maturity and hardness.

Beautiful and natural shade variations.

We carry all the accessories you will need and have them in stock, including:

Bamboo Reducer, T-molding and Quarter Round

Bamboo Molding, Baseboard, & Casing

Denver, Main Cities:, Boulder, Denver, Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, Loveland. Rapidly renewable resources are part of the earths own renewing process. These materails naturally grow and are replaced year after year. In the case of bamboo these plants take carbondioxide out of the air and relaese oxygen back into the air. They also, so water and a small amount of minerals from the ground to grow. They take just five years to reach maturity and then are suitable for litterally hundreds of uses. Technically they are a grass. Smaller grasses typically renew each year. So the environmental bonus of using bamboo for renewable flooring or wallpaper makes ecological sense. The LEED certification system rates the total environmental impact a building has by scoring each component for it's renewability, air quality, re-useability, green design, and use of natural resources. We support the LEED certification system and hope you will opt for a LEED certifiable building for your next construction endeavor.
