There is sveral ways to choose China bamboo flooring(BF) without special tool.

1, Hold a plank of BF and check the surface from various direction to see if the surface of BF is smooth and if the texture is clear. If the suface is as smooth as mirror, its wear-resistant is good. The carbonization and the degree of carbonization also can be checked from the surface. The age of BF also can be checked from the surface. The raw material can’t be used to make BF it is not over 5 years. The raw material is too young if the texure of the surface is not clear.

2. Hold 2pcs of connected planks to check the height difference. Its life time will be shorter if the height difference is too big.

3. Check if the edge of bamboo flooring is straight and regular. If not, the installation will be no good.

4. Check it the paint is spray-paint or roller-paint. Roller-paint will make the paint layer looks thicker and the paint layer not wearing resitant. Strike 2 pcs of planks each other. It is roller paint, if the paint layer drops.
