Bamboo is one of nature's most eco-friendly resources.

Natural|BAMBOO™ floors from USFloors are made from

the Moso species of bamboo and only harvested from

plantations or managed forests in the tropical mountain

regions of China and southeast Asia.

Natural|BAMBOO™ floors offer the performance

attributes and natural aesthetics of hardwood flooring,

but with a distinctive look and unique grain character.

Available in a wide array of colors, textures, widths,

and varying constructions, Natural|BAMBOO™ is a

sustainable choice but also gets extremely high marks for

its durability, style, and affordability.

Natural|BAMBOO™ floors from USFloors are the first bamboo floors to be certified as GREENGUARD GOLD for Indoor

Air Quality. GREENGUARD GOLD's certification program's minimum requirements comply with the State of California's

Department of Health Services Standard Practice (CA Section 01350) for testing chemical emissions from building

products used in schools, offices, and other sensitive areas.

Natural|BAMBOO™ strand woven bamboo takes one of nature's most renewable and sustainable resources

and transforms it into one of the hardest and most durable flooring choices. Strand woven bamboo is produced

by shredding the bamboo stalk into strands and then fusing it together under high pressure to create a flooring

plank twice as hard as oak. Proprietary materials, such as MOSO6® bamboo and our Endura AR® finish, create

high performance bamboo floors for the most demanding residential or commercial applications.

Each Natural|BAMBOO™ product shown here is backed by a Lifetime Residential Wear Warranty and a Lifetime

Structure Warranty, providing the most extensive protection in the industry. These products are also backed by

a 5 Year Commercial Warranty for light and medium commercial applications. Strand woven bamboo products

carry a 15 Year Heavy Commercial Warranty.

The strand woven bamboo floors in our Expressions

Collection are milled with the glueless Drop & Lock

installation profile. Drop & Lock floors are easy to

install and eliminate the need for messy, odor-causing

adhesives or costly nail guns. Simply engage the long

edge of the plank and drop in place to secure the

ends of the plank. It's as easy as that!

Corboo® - Strand Woven Bamboo & Cork

Our patented* Corboo® construction marries two of

nature's most sustainable materials - bamboo and

cork - for a strand woven floor with a signature look

that is only available from USFloors.
