Why is Yanchi the best bamboo flooring on the market? The answer is simple. We manufacture it ourselves.
No one imposes tougher milling standards on bamboo flooring than we do. You get consistent color from board to board and board to trim as well as a tighter-fit that results in a more professional looking job, every time. Whether you choose solid or engineered bamboo hardwood floors, you get the same great quality at the lowest prices—that’s BuildDirect.
Why Choose Bamboo Flooring?
- I’m Eco Friendly
- I go directly on concrete and/or sub-floors and can be installed below grade, unlike most solid hardwood flooring
- I can be glued down, nailed down or floated
- I’m less expensive than most hardwoods and harder than oak
Pick Your Yanchi
So many styles, so many different ways we can help make your house a home. When it comes to bamboo flooring it all starts and ends with Yanchi—the best quality bamboo anywhere.
Pick by:
Type
Solid Bamboo
Solid, beautiful bamboo is not only an aesthetic choice but a practical one too. Unlike other solid hardwood floors, solid bamboo can be installed below grade and directly on concrete giving you the potential to create warm, inviting spaces in basements.
Install solid bamboo over:
- Over wood and concrete sub-floors
- Floating or glue-down
- In basements
- Glue-less click locking system makes for an easy DIY install
Plank
Standard plank
Standard plank floors are cut to roughly 3 ¾” wide for a traditional looking floor. Standard-sized planks are an elegant way to show off the grain of the bamboo and the pattern of planking as well.
Wide plank
Wide plank bamboo floors give a designer look to any floor. With less planks, the look is less busy and more contemporary than with traditional standard plank sizes. Expect a beautiful finish with an expensive, modern look.
Color
Natural finishes give you that clean, contemporary, blond look.
Carbonized bamboo flooring is softer than natural bamboo and offers you rich, warm hues from light brown to mocha for that traditional look.
Dark and rich, stained bamboo is the right way to get today’s luxurious darker looking floors.
Style
Horizontal Bamboo Flooring
Horizontal bamboo lends that exotic look to any room yet is harder than solid oak. With an emphasis on its natural growth rings, or knots, horizontal bamboo gives you a contemporary look with a hint of the tropics.
Install horizontal floors:
- Over wood and concrete sub-floors
- Nail or glue-down
- Over radiant heat
Vertical Bamboo Flooring
With vertical bamboo, the bamboo strips are laid in long, slender rows with fewer and smaller visible rings, for a more tranquil yet tropical look. Still as strong as oak, yet the preferred choice for a contemporary floor with less knots.
Install vertical bamboo floors:
- Over wood and concrete sub-floors
- Nail or glue-down
- Over radiant heat
- As hard as oak
Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring
Twice as hard as any other bamboo and much harder than American white oak, strand-woven bamboo is the one to use in high-traffic areas. Stacks up to the hardest hardwood flooring and always comes in at a better price. A much better value for money and in all the colors you want.
Install strand woven bamboo floors:
- Over wood and concrete sub-floors
- Nail or glue-down
- Over radiant heat
- Harder than oak
Texture
Hand-scraped Bamboo Hardwood Floors
Hand-scraping is a new technique designed to give floors a more textured look. It’s the ideal choice when you want to create a more rustic ambiance or find the perfect floor to match the age and patina of an older structure. Wider and longer planks plus lots of stains and color options let you create a unique space.
Smooth Bamboo Hardwood Floors
Smooth with a satin glow. Smooth is how we describe that simple yet elegant texture-free surface associated with wood floors. And it’s how all our flooring, other than hand-scraped, are finished.
