After you read the following you will understand vifloor bamboo product quality.

1. Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring Using Cold Press Manufacturing

The End Result

Cold Pressed bamboo has a longer manufacturing process which does incur more cost, but it

does produce a product that is far superior in both appearance and stability.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key Benefits for Cold Press Manufacturing

No Cold Join: new cold press manufacturing technology produces a solid wide board without a

join “no cracking” will occur like other cold press products.

Uniformity: produces more even colour and a select grade surface appearance.

Density: is consistent throughout the floor and a harder surface due to the 15 days under pressure

at room temperature process.

Stability: (moisture content) is far superior with minimal movement when exposed to changing

environmental conditions due to the longer baking time.

2. Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring Advantages!

vRaw Material

The VIF Bamboo factory has its own bamboo mountain being 5540 hectares which is 13 million

bamboo plants. This is a great advantage as a manufacturer allowing us to control the quality of

our raw material, as not many factories can have this great benefit. We know that our bamboo is

harvested every 6 years which is not the case for many other factories.

Because our bamboo is cut every 6 years we know that the density is harder than many other

suppliers and when kiln dried, the moisture is much easier to remove making Arrow Bamboo a

much more stable product.

We can totally control the quality of our raw material where most factories have to buy from smaller

farmers.

Due to the size of our operation we have to work closely with government officials to make sure

only 20% of our plantation is harvested each year as we have responsibilities to the environment

and wildlife authorities.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

vGlue System/ Drying

Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring has its own glue formula and the percentage of glue is of a key importance to the

overall strength of our product.

Below you will see that our bamboo when glued under pressure for 15 days compared to hot

pressed being only 1 day, is a much slower process which achieves a denser and more stable

product.

By providing the extra 15 days gluing process it then allows the glue to cure properly.

This will reduce any off-gassing, which then allows our product to meet international standards of

0.02ppm (parts per million or even less. Therefore it is basically 0% emissions when measured

against off-gassing.

Unlike the VIF Bamboo factory, to save money other factories will not do the final 15 day air drying

process. The final process is very important for a good stable product.

vCoating (KLUMPP)

Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring uses only the best coating technology with German KLUMPP lacquers. The first 2

coats are water based which is required for penetration in this very dense product allowing other

coats to bond strongly.

If staining is required, 70% of the colour is added on the first two coats to achieve maximum clarity

and evenness.

A further 9 coats of UV treated lacquer is then allowing VIF Bamboo to have a total of 11 coats.

So why does VIF Bamboo have a better finish than other bamboo products?

This is due to the extra coats and high solid content in the KLUMPP product.

VIF Bamboo must achieve 200 grams per sqm, where most factories use only 100-140 grams per

sqm, this is a significant difference.

So when comparing VIF Bamboo finished product you will notice thedifference.
