About Bamboo Flooring

"Mao Bamboo," the type that we harvest, is a legendary plant in South China. It is a major building resource in that region. The mature period of Mao bamboo is much shorter than that of common timber. Our bamboo flooring products are manufactured from high quality mature bamboo canes, selectively harvested from managed forests when they are over four years old.

Not only are we the leading manufacturer in China, but we also export to Japan and Europe. Our flooring is particularly popular in both of these exporting markets. We are currently in the process of opening direct sales to the U.S. market.

Qualities of Bamboo

Bamboo is stronger and denser than hardwoods and is much better able to withstand moisture due to its tropical characteristics. Bamboo canes naturally have a high density and a straight grain. The average density of bamboo products is 64kg/m³ or more. As a result, our flooring has excellent advantages such as stability, strength, elegance, and a soft color.

We assure that our bamboo products are the best choice for decorating residential and public areas. Other favored sites include commercial areas, offices, and in-house sporting grounds.

Environmental Aspect

Bamboo stalks can grow to be very large, reaching as high as 80 feet, and several inches thick. The canes regrow quickly as well. Due to the inter-connected root system, bamboo groves fully regenerate at a faster rate than other types of timber. Such a process promotes the extension of bamboo roots and the growth of new canes. This character differentiates Mao bamboo from other timber types in that it benefits the ecological balance and preserves forest reserves. Replanting trees is not needed and the forest continues to flourish.
