VERTICAL BAMBOO

 

 

 

A vertical pattern in bamboo flooring is made from bamboo strips that are laid on edge, with the wider faces of the strips bonded to each other. This gives the floor more lines within the pattern, as well as a very consistent and even coloring. Bamboo floors with vertical orientation are ideal for smaller spaces,

creating a more open and roomy feeling to the area.

  

 

      

 

 

  

HORIZONTAL BAMBOO

 

A horizontal pattern in bamboo flooring is made from wider strips laid on top of each other to give an overall thickness. It is typically three-plies thick. Horizontal bamboo floors feature more of the unique properties of the bamboo grass, with more visible nodes (the characteristic joint in the bamboo cane).
