Can Bamboo floors be refinished?

But you’re probably wondering if the color of your natural, carbonized, or previously stained planks can be changed. The answer is yes, the color can be sanded off. Bamboo can be stained dark or other colors as well. However, unlike wood, bamboo is more water-resistant, with strand-woven bamboo offering the best water resistance. Therefore, we use a professional quality oil based wood stain.

Bamboo flooring comes in three main varieties:

Horizontal bamboo flooring

The most common of the three choices is probably horizontal bamboo flooring. It's made of horizontal rows of bamboo stalks that have been glued together. You probably think of this kind of bamboo flooring when you think of bamboo flooring.

Floors made of vertical bamboo

Thin bamboo strips make up vertical bamboo flooring. The strips are stuck together (you guessed it) vertically. Because of how it is put together, this type has more lines. It also looks more modern and clean-cut.

Strand-Woven Bamboo Flooring

Strand-woven bamboo is not made of thin strips of bamboo. Instead, it is made from stalks that have been cut into thin fibers and then stuck together with glue. This mixture is then pressed into blocks with the help of heat and pressure. This is how strand-woven bamboo can last for a long time. It's like, very strong. That is, it will last even longer than the longest-lasting wood flooring. Strand-woven bamboo flooring is almost twice as hard as ash flooring.
