Bamboo wood flooring is commonly manufactured through a process that starts by splitting and flattening the bamboo. The layers of bamboo are then dried and laminated with glue under high pressure. In order to produce bamboo hardwood flooring that has coloring similar to that of darker woods, the bamboo is heated, a process that softens the bamboo. This means that darker bamboo floors are generally softer than the lighter ones.
