Description

Solid bamboo means the plank is bamboo all the way through, not a thin bamboo skin bonded to a cheaper core. At 15 millimetres thick these planks carry enough material to be sanded and refreshed later, and they feel noticeably firmer underfoot than the eight millimetre laminates they are usually compared against. The plank measures 40.15 by 5.11 inches in Light Honey, and each box of fourteen planks covers 20 square feet.

What Solid Bamboo Flooring Actually Means

Bamboo flooring is made in two main ways. Engineered bamboo is a decorative bamboo layer bonded to a plywood or fibreboard core. Solid bamboo is bamboo throughout the full thickness of the plank.

The distinction matters for three practical reasons. What you feel when you walk across it, because a stiff homogeneous plank does not have the hollow resonance of a thin core. How it behaves if moisture reaches the core. And whether it can be refinished at all, which is only possible when there is enough material to sand.

15mm Solid Core Versus 8mm Laminate, Side by Side

An eight millimetre laminate is a printed image sitting over a fibreboard core. It is inexpensive, quick to install and genuinely hard wearing, but it cannot be sanded, it sounds hollow underfoot, and the day the surface wears through the floor is finished.

A fifteen millimetre solid bamboo plank is a natural material through its whole thickness, roughly twice as thick, warmer to the touch, and refinishable. It costs more at the till and is expected to stay in service for considerably longer, which changes the calculation when you look at cost per year rather than cost per box.

Light Honey: Matching Tone to Lighting and Furniture

Light Honey is a warm mid tone with visible bamboo grain, lighter than carbonized amber and warmer than the palest natural bamboo.

Under warm 2700K bulbs it reads golden. Under neutral 4000K lighting it reads sandy and clean. It pairs comfortably with oak, walnut, white, grey and black furniture, which is unusual flexibility for a mid tone floor. Against dark cabinetry it gains contrast, and against pale walls it keeps a room feeling bright.

Everyday Cleaning

The surface reflects more light than a matte one, which also means it registers dust and marks more readily. The routine is short and takes a few minutes rather than an afternoon.

Dust or vacuum with a hard floor head every few days, then wipe with a damp microfibre cloth when something needs it. Use a pH neutral wood floor cleaner rather than an all purpose spray, avoid steam mops, and never let water pool along the joints of the floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is solid bamboo flooring real wood?

Bamboo is a grass rather than a tree, but the plank is a natural bamboo material through its full thickness rather than a printed laminate.

How thick is this plank?

Fifteen millimetres, which is approximately 0.6 inch.

Can it be refinished?

Yes. A fifteen millimetre solid plank has enough material for a professional sand and reseal later in its life.

Is it suitable for an entire house?

It suits most dry rooms. For bathrooms and basements, strand woven bamboo is the more forgiving option because of its moisture resistance.
