Floor Finish

Bamboo flooring is available with a few different finishes applied to the surface. The finish of the floor is always a lacquer, which helps to give strength and protection to the bamboo, so that it is ready to use as soon as it is installed. The choices of finish that you have range from a simple matt lacquer which keeps that bamboo’s natural character, or a more distressed and textured finish for a rustic and aged appearance.  The choice is solely down to personal preference and what you think would suit the existing décor and furniture.

 

What are the different bamboo flooring finishes?

Bamboo flooring is available with the following surface finishes:

Distressed – Bamboo flooring that has been distressed means that the surface has a textured feel.  The planks of flooring have been brushed, by hand, using a wire brush to create a more rustic appearance.  The bamboo has then been finished with a matt lacquer which provides the protection against damage from daily wear and tear.

Matt Lacquered – A bamboo floor that has a matt lacquer means that it has a natural appearance.  The lacquer has not changed the colour or texture of the flooring in any way, it is there purely to provide additional strength and protection.  Some of the floors may even have an anti-slip lacquer applied.

Satin Matt Lacquered – A satin matt lacquer gives the bamboo flooring the durability and protection it needs to cope with the amount of footfall it will receive.  It will also give the surface of the planks of bamboo flooring a slight sheen.

All bamboo flooring is pre-finished, which means that it is ready to use as soon as the installation process is complete.
