Silkroad® bamboo flooring is comprised of laminated strips of 100% bamboo.  After the bamboo is harvested, it is boiled in a processing solution to remove any sugars. The bamboo strips are then kiln dried to a 6% moisture content, then glued with low emission glues. The bamboo is then hardened and dried.  Once this has happened, the bamboo is sliced into planks and milled like traditional hardwood flooring. The Natural bamboo  is a natural "blond" colour, and brings out the bamboo's beautiful light tones and colour variation. The coloured Carbonized bamboo is achieved by pressure cooking the bamboo which brings out the warm "honey" tones and colour variation of bamboo.  The benefit of this process is that it is not a stain where the color is only on the surface, the colour is present throughout  the entire Silkroad bamboo plank.
