FAQ

COLOUR QUESTIONS

1. Will my floor be varied in colour like solid timber or laminate flooring?

Bamboozle® floors are all hand selected for colour tones and packed to give a comparatively even coloured floor. However, a small variation is maintained to achieve a natural look. We can achieve varying degrees of colour variation based on the customer’s preferences but please understand this is not a perfect science.

2. How does the darker flooring differ from the lighter coloured flooring?

The blonde colour is the natural unprocessed colour of premium bamboo. The brighter and cleaner the blonde tone the better quality the manufacture process. Our darker product is created using a steam-heating process that caramelizes the sugar and starch compounds in the bamboo. It is not stained and therefore will maintain this same colour range even when it is re-sanded in the future just like solid timber flooring.

3. Will my bamboo floor change colour over time like timber flooring does?

Yes, like all timber floors, bamboo can change colour over time. The caramelized tones of bamboo will become subtly lighter while the natural tones (blonde) can become a darker golden colour. This natural process is caused from continued exposure to natural light. The stronger the light source, the more rapid the colour change. It is our experience that this colour change occurs primarily in the first few months, after this the boards remain quite colour stable.
