"A pale hardwood floor with plenty of strength and a distinctive pattern, BT Bamboo from Eco Flooring places inviting décor at your feet" according to the influential Trends publication.
The Trends article goes on to say:- "Hardwood flooring can bring a warm, solid feeling to your home. It offers enduring strength and an attractive finish. However, achieving this in lighter colour tones to complement your decor can prove difficult, as most Australian hardwoods are darker in coloration. One hardwood that is available in lighter colouring, however, is bamboo. This fast-growing wood offers pale hues and rivals the strength of steel, says Paula Taylor, director of Eco Flooring, the company that imports BT Bamboo flooring into Australia. "Bamboo is the only hardwood that is naturally light in colour," says Taylor. "Its pale tone accentuates the wood's distinctive pattern." BT Bamboo is also available in a darker hue, Carbonated Amber. This is achieved by a carbonisation process which means the floor retains its colouration even after refinishing. As well as looks and strength, BT Bamboo flooring systems also offer consistency and ease of installation. "BT Bamboo is a pre-finished flooring system that is quick and easy to install," says Taylor. "It can be glued or secret nailed to existing subfloors, including concrete, plywood or joists." No clamping is required when laying the floor, as the system comprises precision tongue-and-groove and end matching. "The finish on BT Bamboo flooring is smooth and dust free, with coatings applied in the factory using the latest technology," says Taylor. "The product is UV cured and pre-finished with four or five layers of aluminium oxide coating." BT Bamboo is produced to meet ISO 9002 quality assurance standards and is guaranteed for structural integrity for 10 years. Available in two tones, Light Sand and Carbonated Amber, BT Bamboo flooring offers an easily installed hardwood floor with a distinctive pattern. To accentuate the overall effect of your floors, Eco Flooring offers a range of BT Bamboo accessories. These include skirting boards, architraves and staircase components. Eco Flooring is the sole supplier of BT Bamboo flooring in Australia.
