This type of floor is made of chopped thin strips of a certain length, with a remote outer layer. Starch is removed by wiping in boric acid and drying. To saturate and enrich color, carbonization (steam processing under pressure) with subsequent drying is used. Unfortunately, this reduces the hardness and strength of the floor.
Then the strips are glued with resin. It depends on the method of their application, the parquet will be horizontal or vertical. To protect the surface, the board is varnished and polished until the desired smoothness is achieved. Bamboo board.
