Hand Scraped Bamboo Flooring
If you love the look of hardwood floors with a lot of character markings then you may want to preview the hand scraped bamboo floors. Hand scraped floors are a step back in time. Before the days of sanding machines, wooden floors were scraped by hand with special tools, before they were finished. The main difference between the old and modern methods is that today's hand scraped floors are usually done board by board before they are installed.
In the US, the hand scraped wood look (also called hand sculptured) has become a popular choice among homeowners wanting hardwood with the look of an old reclaimed wood floor but with today's finest finishes. Although very pricey, these floors do look stunning and give the appearance of a hardwood floor that has a lot of character. Hand scraped bamboo floors offer a unique looking of old style bamboo floor.
Hand scraped bamboo floors are offered in both solid and engineered construction depending on the manufacturer. If your room is above grade and has a wood type sub-floor than you can opt for either one of the solid or engineered hand scraped hardwood flooring brands. If humidity is a factor or if your room is on a concrete slab you must turn to the engineered versions.
In addition to hand scraped bamboo floors, some manufacturers offer distressed bamboo flooring. The distressed differs in that the markings in the face are done by a machine, while hand scraped hardwood planks are done
manually by hand. Although hand scraping is more costly to do, each plank
has a more unique look over a machine distressed plank. Both hand scraped and distressed hardwood flooring should give any room a beautiful, rich appearance.
