Care & Maintenance
Learn how to keep your neighbors ooo-ing and aww-ing at your new floors for decades with proper care and maintenance.
A. Cali Bamboo® bamboo flooring is manufactured in our own production facilities in the Anji County within Zhejiang Province of southeast China. Most of the world's bamboo is concentrated in this region and is therefore the most sustainable place to harvest, process and manufacture bamboo products. Anhui's warm, moist climate provides ideal conditions for bamboo to thrive, and we source our bamboo from well-managed plantations.
A. While bamboo flooring is naturally resistant to water and other liquids, standing liquid that has seeped between the planks can cause damage. Never wet mop your floor, and soak up spills as soon as possible using a microfiber towel or dry mop. See more bamboo flooring care & maintenance information.
A. Customer safety has always been Cali Bamboo's #1 priority. We utilize only the highest-quality manufacturing techniques and adhesives to ensure that our flooring is free of harmful chemicals. All our flooring is tested by the leading emissions detection laboratory Benchmark International for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including formaldehyde. Many of our floors are formaldehyde-free, registering concentration levels as "not detectable"; even those with detectable levels measured 25 times lower than the strictest California Air Resources Board (CARB) Phase 2 standards, and at least half the amount found in the typical air we breathe. Learn more and view all test results here.
A. Fossilized® flooring will hold up in any climate as long as it's properly acclimated. Because bamboo is a natural product, it will expand as it absorbs humidity and shrink as the air grows drier. The key to avoiding gaps and distortion, in even the most extreme climates, is to remove the planks from the boxes, sticker-stack them, and allow them to adjust to the environment. This typically takes at least 5 days, but extended acclimation times are recommended in regions with high or low levels of moisture. Your floor is ready for installation when the moisture content between the floor and the subfloor is within 3%. Watch how to acclimate flooring video.
A: It depends on the type of subfloor, existing floor and application, but there are three basic ways to install bamboo flooring:
- Glue Down Method
- Floating Floor Method
- Nail Down Method
View Installation Options
A: Yes. We sell all types of bamboo flooring accessories and stair parts including bamboo stair treads, bamboo stair risers, bamboo stair nosing, bamboo reducers, bamboo t-molding, bamboo quarter rounds, bamboo thresholds, and bamboo baseboards as well as all the glues and adhesives you will need for to complete your project. How to install trim.
A: We're all animal lovers at Cali Bamboo, so we designed our flooring with an industry leading 10-coat scratch resistant finish that keeps your floors looking fresh for years, even with active furry friends of all sizes. Keep in mind that all hardwood flooring can be pervious to dents and scratches, so keep your pets' claws trimmed to avoid excess scratching. Watch pet owners talk about Cali Bamboo flooring.
A: Not all bamboo flooring is created equally. Cali Bamboo flooring undergoes a proprietary manufacturing process that makes Fossilized® strand woven twice the density of any other hardwood floor in the world with a score of more than 5000+ on the Janka hardness test.

Comments about Cali Bamboo® Antique Java Fossilized Bamboo Flooring:
This was my second time installing 1,100 sqft of the Fossilized Antique Java bamboo flooring in the kitchen, breakfast room, family room and study. The first time was 1,000 sqft in four bedrooms and closets. Easy to install, a bit difficult to cut since so hard and it does scratch a bit if not careful. Great product, color and feel. Ensure you unpack and stack inside your home so boards acclimate properly.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I am in awe at the beauty of this floor. It has transformed our home. Love the antique java. It has alot of character. Love that it is twice the density of any other hardwood floor and backed by a 50 year warranty! Cali Bamboo with the assistance of Sabrina Kinney made every step of the renovation a pleasurable experience, from answering questions about the product, to the acclimation process,sending videos,prompt delivery and kept in contact for follow up. Could not ask for better customer service. I just cant stop looking at them. LOVE THEM!

Comments about Cali Bamboo® Antique Java Fossilized Bamboo Flooring:
We put bamboo throughout the entire house except for the bathrooms. I was skeptical of the impact of water, but, to test it out, I put one of the samples sent by Cali in a bucket of water, thinking I'd leave it for a few hours. At that point, no impact to the material. Decided to leave it longer. Five days later, there was still no perceivable impact to the material - amazing! Only thing we didn't like was the number of what we called 'scar' marks in the Antique Java material we bought. A few would have been ok, but they were on 5 of every 8 boards. We were able to cut around most or put them under dressers, rugs, etc. without having to waste too much material.
