Spectrum
Solid-strip bamboo flooring in 3' lengths
3-5⁄8" x 3' traditional solid strip
Spectrum is designed for the builder or consumer who wants the look of a consistent pattern made of three-foot-long planks. The 7-coat German finish includes a layer of abrasion-resistant aluminum oxide plus two scratch-resistant, polyurethane topcoats to protect the bamboo's natural strength and toughness. The finish is water-based and solvent-free, and the manufacturing adhesives emit less formaldehyde than is present in ambient air.
