Strip to Product
1. Pressing horizontally: PLAIN PRESSED
The bamboo strips are placed horizontally and glued together under high pressure. The resulting board or panel will show the characteristic node pattern of bamboo.
2. Pressing vertically: SIDE PRESSED
The bamboo strips are placed sideways and glued together under high pressure. The resulting board or panel will show a narrow line pattern with the bamboo nodes subtlely visible.
3. Compressed : DENSITY
In this case the strips get compressed before they are glued. In this process the bamboo strips are pressed to fibres. After glueing a very elegant line pattern is created and in addition the product is more than twice as hard as the ‘traditional’ bamboo (as described above).
4. Flexible: TATAMAT and PANDA
In this case the strips are not glued together, but glued onto a fabric backing. Before doing so, the strips are connected by means of a weaving thread (TATAMAT look) or by a tape on the back side (PANDA look).
