Panda Bamboo Products

Panda Bamboo supplies a large range of solid and strand-woven bamboo boards and panels, bamboo flooring and rustic bamboo screens, panels and poles.

We supply 2 different types of bamboo flooring:

• solid bamboo flooring
• strand-woven bamboo flooring

Both types of flooring are supplied as tongue and groove planks (end matched), 96mm in width. The floorboards can be nailed onto battens or joists, glued to a cement screed floor using special glue systems, or installed as a floating floor using a self-adhesive rubber underlay. The finished floor has a micro V-groove between the planks (a characteristic of tongue & groove boards).

The strand-woven is more expensive than the solid bamboo flooring, but is very much harder and more water resistant than the solid bamboo flooring. It is also darker in colour (the natural bamboo becomes a golden colour, while the caramel colour becomes a darker brown), with a less regular, "softer" grain pattern.

Both types of flooring come pre-finished (7 coat German aluminium oxide polyurethane coating) and ready to install. Once installed no further coating is required. As with any solid wood floor, all bamboo floors can be sanded down and re-finished if the floor is subject to excessive wear or becomes scratched or damaged over the years.
