Why our strand bamboo flooring is better than others
Posted by Jeff in Bamboo Flooring on September 25th, 2009
Traditionally the strand woven bamboo flooring will be finished with two layers of UV Sealer on machine, however, unlike other manufacturers, J&L Bamboo’s strand woven flooring will be finished with an additional layer of Treffert UV Sealer by hand which insures all the small holes will be filled up tight and makes the beauty last longer.
Finishing Process of Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring

All J&L Bamboo floorings are pre-finished by “Treffert”, a German varnish, which has an anti-abrasion aluminum oxide layer. The UV cured coatings yield extreme hardness resulting in high mechanical resistance to scratch, impact and abrasion. The coatings are water based and are free of halogenated hydrocarbons, heavy metals, herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, formaldehyde and any harmful emission complying with international standards.
Please check the total 8 layers high performance sealing system from the video below:

“Bamboo floors definitely have more of a selection now than they ever have. They come in all sorts of colors, all different sizes, all different grain patterns,” said Levine.
Consumer Reports tested 21 different types of hardwood flooring, including seven bamboo floors. Prices ranged from $4 a square foot to $9. The floors were put through a battery of tests, including an abrasion test that simulates years of foot traffic.
Racing bike made from Bamboo
Posted by Jeff in Bamboo Flooring on June 23rd, 2009
I found an interesting article today from Guardian featuring a Racing bike made from bamboo by Craig Calfee who was one of the early pioneers of carbon fibre bikes, and he’s been experimenting with bamboo since 2005. He now builds high-end bamboo racing, mountain and cargo bikes, and is working on bringing cheap and simple utility bikes to Africa.

How COLD-PRESSED strand woven bamboo flooring is made
Posted by Jeff in Bamboo Flooring on May 26th, 2009
Strand Woven Bamboo Floorings are now widely used not only in the commercial projects due to its extremely high density(two times harder than oak), but also accepted by many home owners who’d like to purchase a durable and environmental-friendly floor for their apartments. As a manufacturer supplying various bamboo products for global market, we goanna spent a few moments here explaining how do we produce the quality strand woven bamboo flooring in some basic steps.
PART A
Step 1.
We only choose the bamboo logs which are harvested when they reach the maturity 5 to 7 years, otherwise they are either too soft or too brittle.
Step 2.
Once the bamboo logs are sliced into long strips, they’ll be boiled with Hydrogen Peroxide to remove pests and sugar. Some strips will also be placed in a steam tank with high temperature to produce the carbonized color.
Step 3
Dried bamboo strips will be crashed a little bit by this machine below so the structure get loosed and better prepared for further gluing process.
The loosed strips are looking like this:
They will then be placed outside under the sunlight for couple of days
Step 4
The raw strips will be collected and sink into a large tank filled up with phenol formaldehyde adhesive which is environmental friendly and fully in compliance with E1 standard.
Step 5
Now the pretreated strips are going to pass through a long tunnel with series of installed fans so the bamboo raw materials and glue will cool down before pressing together. That’s why we call it COLD PRESS technique.
Step 6
We’re now in the key stage. First of all the glued strips will be weighted at a certain amount before place into an iron mold, which make sure the right density of final plank.
Then they’ll be compressed together by a huge machine which can offer an intense pressure over 2500 ton, resulting the hardest flooring products on the market today.
Now check out the compressed blocks as follows:
These rough blocks will be cut to size and store in the kiln room for at least 4 weeks to reach the balance of moisture.
In Part B we are going to brief you how to turn these semi-finished boards into final products. Please stay with us.

Shanghai is covered by Bamboo Scaffolding
Posted by Jeff in Stories by EOS 450D on May 11th, 2009
I visited Shanghai couple of days ago and I saw many old apartment buildings along the main streets were covered by bamboo scaffolding with the workers busy scrambling up and down. It seems like they never mind that hundreds of bamboo poles are tied together with merely some extra long twist-ties. After a few seconds I realized that Shanghai is going to host the World Expo 2010 in next May so the local government must renovate everything which turns the city into a huge construction site just same as what’d happened before Beijing Olympics.
