Detailed Project Report on bamboo flooring plant

BAMBOO FLOORING PLANT
[CODE NO.3500]  


Bamboo floors are also very popular because they give a beautiful look to any space and can be adapted to any style. Bamboo can be finished in many colours or be left completely natural, according to the buyer's taste. The options are almost endless.

Bamboo is gaining importance as a replacement for wood in flooring and roofing panels and other housing components (such as windows, doors and partition panels), in furniture and in packing cases. Some of these products are made of bamboo mat board, some have a core of bamboo mats with thin veneer facings and others are made of laminated bamboo slabs/strips of different sizes and shapes (bamboo parquet and floorboards). In some products, wood veneer or shavings are used to give a wood-like appearance to the surface.

At present, China has developed the largest number of bamboo based panel products and produces annually approximately 250,000 cubic metres in about 250 manufacturing units. The most popular panel product is bamboo mat plywood (about 100,000 cubic metres) followed by bamboo curtain board, bamboo strip board, bamboo lath board, bamboo based particle board, bamboo flooring panels and bamboo moulded products.

Bamboo flooring and bamboo board are the newest and most revolutionary products in woodworking industry. Bamboo sticks are  made  from  the bamboo pole, then hydraulically  laminated  under  high  heat  and pressure; the resulting boards are  then  sanded, moulded and finished similar to wood flooring finished product is  protected against fungus and insects.

Bamboo flooring and bamboo board is found to be superior to most hardwoods in terms of hardness, stability and fire resistance.

Bamboo board has the additional advantage of being made from an abundant, renewable natural resderce bamboo. Unlike trees, which take decades to replace, bamboo groves fully rejuvenate within several years.

The specialized machinery used for making bamboo flooring, paneling and boards from the raw bamboo to the finished product, includes bamboo cutting, splitting, drying, sizing, gluing, pressing, planning moulding, sandingand UV curing.

Bamboo flooring is used for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, offices, restaurants, hotels, apartments etc.
