Manufacturing process
How is flooring made from a bamboo stem...
The products in the BambooTouch® range are made in factories carefully selected for their know-how, professionalism and high quality standards.
The manufacturing process is as follows:
• Once the bamboo canes have been harvested, the green bark is removed and the stripped canes are cut lengthwise
• The strips obtained are cut and measured. They are sorted by thickness, length and their natural colour
• The strips are treated against fungus and insects in an H²O² bath (<0.62)
• The strips can be kept light in their natural colours or darkened by passing them through an autoclave furnace at a temperature of 120 to 140°C
• The strips are then passed through a mechanical dryer. When dry and their moisture content has been checked, they are measured again
• The strips are sorted again by colour to ensure uniformity in the colour of the future flooring strips
• They are then bonded at high pressure and high temperature using a high quality Dynea adhesive, in accordance with standard E1, on edge (side-pressed or Vertical) or horizontally (plain-pressed or Horizontal)
• The sheets are then rubbed down and cut to the required size for flooring strips, panels, accessories, etc.
• The last step is to chamfer the edges, make the tongues and grooves and print the BambooTouch® name on the underside of the flooring strips
• A final quality check is made when they are packed.
Because each manufacturing step is followed rigorously, BambooTouch® is THE benchmark for bamboo floorings and panels.
