Bothbest is a FSC certified bamboo factory based in China starting the manufacturing since 2001, mainly supplying bamboo flooring, bamboo decking and bamboo plywood. Bamboo is a grass, rich in natural sugars (starch). When the raw bamboo strips are placed in a pressure steamer and subjected to high heat, these sugars undergo a chemical reaction similar to caramelizing sugar in a frying pan. The heat browns the material all the way through the fiber. This is a critical distinction because it means the color is not a "skin" on top of the wood. If you were to cut a caramel bamboo plank in half, or if a deep gouge were to occur, you would find the same rich, toasted color in the center as you see on the surface. Caramel bamboo offers a reprieve from this cycle. Because it maintains a "clean" appearance for a longer duration, it reduces the frequency of aggressive cleaning. This, ironically, helps the floor last longer. Excessive mopping, especially with too much water or harsh chemicals, can eventually degrade the finish of any wood or bamboo floor. By choosing a color and material that naturally masks daily wear, you end up subjecting the floor to less friction and moisture over the years.
