NEXT GENERATION BAMBOO FLOORING Genesis LUXE represents the next generation of bamboo flooring. We have incorporated many new flooring techniques and technolgies into the LUXE system to create a floor that is exceedingly beautiful. The essense of LUXE is to recreate the warmth and beauty of European Oak flooring in a format that is more sustainable, extremely durable, and above all free from harmful VOC emissions. WIDE FORMAT XL BAMBOO PRESS SYSTEM Our patented XL Bamboo press system delivers new wide format boards that are 2200mm long and 216mm wide surpassing previous specifications by over 50%. LUXE SETS NEW RECORDS IN DENSITY AND DURABILTY LUXE is made from only the hardest Moso bamboo which is specially grown at cold, high altitude areas. This helps us achieve a much higher density than traditional bamboo floors. LUXE surface density is so hard it will resist dents from high heels making it suitable for domestic and commercial applications. HIGH DEFINITION SURFACE EMBOSSING Our new multi-tonne rolling press line enables us to create high definition natural wood grains into the bamboo flooring surface. Combined with our German Treffert staining and lacquer line we can produce a product that is identical to European Oak but far exceeds its durability rating. NATURAL COLOUR VARIATION Genesis LUX flooring features all the natural colour variation that you expect from European Oak. NEXT GENERATION ECO FLOORING // 7
DURABILITY HOW HARD IS GENESIS LUXE BAMBOO? Hardness is the main factor in durability. The hardness of bamboo flooring can be relatively soft or hard in comparison to other woods, and is dependent on three main factors the species of bamboo used, its age at harvest and the climate in which it is grown. There are many different varieties of bamboo within China. Proline Floors specifies only the hardest Mosa bamboo species (phyllostachys pubescens). Our Mosa bamboo is grown in the coldest northern region of China at high altitude, which produces a slower growth rate due to the colder climate. This in turn ensures a much lower moisture content in the growth phase and maximum density at harvest time. We only harvest the bamboo at full maturity, between (5 ½ - 6 years). Research has shown that this is the time when fibre density is at its peak. In contrast, softer species are generally harvested at 4 ½ years. The manufacturing process also impacts on the hardness of the flooring. Strand weaving the fibres ensures the flooring is by far the hardest and most stable of all bamboo flooring. In fact, it is twice as hard as vertical or horizontal bamboo flooring and more dimensionally stable. We have produced Genesis LUXE floors with a new priority multitonne press capable of delivering higher pressing pressure than ever before. The result is a 10% increase in density and durability over our standard bamboo range. When comparing density of common hardwoods and Genesis Strand Woven Bamboo, our flooring is on average 22% harder than Spotted Gum and 140% harder than Tasmanian Oak, making it the perfect fit for a busy modern Australian lifestyle.
