BuildDirect recently announced the launch of their newest flooring product, handscraped French bleed bamboo flooring under
their Yanchi brand. Floors with a French bleed edge are typically hardwood, but BuildDirect wanted to bring this new option
to North American consumers. The company wanted consumers to have the advantage of board edge effects of hardwood, while
benefiting from the stability and eco–friendliness of bamboo floors. Read the press release below for more information
about this unique bamboo floor product.
Floors with a French bleed edge are usually associated with a hardwood floor, not bamboo. BuildDirect has brought this new
choice in bamboo flooring to North America so that flooring consumers can benefit from the board edge effects of hardwood
floors, along with the stability and eco–friendliness of bamboo.
Vancouver, BC (PRWeb) October 27, 2009 –– Online flooring manufacturer–wholesaler BuildDirect has introduced horizontal style handscraped bamboo floors with a French bleed edge to the
North American
market under their Yanchi brand. This unique product allows for the visual effects of hardwood floors, along with the unique
stability and eco–friendliness of bamboo flooring.
BuildDirect Co–Founder Robert Banks explains the significance of this unique product. "This is an exciting launch
for us, because we know that flooring consumers want the look, the performance, and the 'green factor' in their floors. This
new line offers all of that, as well as a unique design that brings out the beauty in each board, and in the floor surface
overall."
One major feature of these new handscraped bamboo floors that helps to achieve this effect is the French bleed edge, which
is usually a feature of hardwood flooring. The edge design is defined by stained bevels between each flooring board surface.
This adds depth and dimension to an already attractive surface.
"French bleed edges really make a floor 'pop'," says Banks. "It gives consumers a traditional yet stylish effect to suit
pretty much any décor. And now with bamboo, consumers are benefiting from stable and decorative flooring that is the
product
of innovative green thinking, too."
BuildDirect offers four choices in bamboo floors with French bleed edges – Cognac, Burgundy, Champagne, and Bordeaux
– all finished with thirteen coats of aluminum oxide for maximum durability. All selections are protected by a
25–year residential finish warranty, and a lifetime structural warranty.
