First, the bamboos stem is split into strips lengthways;

Sterilize the strips via boiling or carbonization treatment (steam-pressure process). A very small percentage of water peroxide is usually added during this boiling process to have the sugars removed and kill any living organisms. Carbonization treatment could have the strips take a dark color (coffee color).

 

The strips are fine planed to smooth rectangle shape (normally W x T: 20x5mm) and be laminated into panels.

To get horizontal pattern (plain pressed), just press the bamboo strips against each other horizontally. This way would have the panel take visible characteristic bamboo knots.

To get vertical pattern (side pressed), just press the strips sideways. This way would result a very fine pattern with less visible bamboo knots.

Press the panels to a block, and then submerge it in water to soften for slicing.

 

 

Compared with wood veneer, bamboo veneer is much more difficult to produce. As the block is assembled by many layers of panels, normally the glue parts between layers have no use.

 

The sheets with defects are selected out and cut to smaller size. These smaller bamboo veneers are jointed to regular size by Germany machine according to COLOR MATCH.

The selected veneer (A Grade) would be backed to prevent further cracking during handling. Different backings or without backing are workable. The cellulose fleece imported from Europe is widely accepted by customers. This fleece is compatible with any commonly used glue/press system.

 

 

A strict color selection and grading system was introduced in quality control system. According color range, different color groups are set and marked on outside package.

 

Under careful inspection, the veneer is packed. The thick paper cartons and strong pallets with good protection outside give further assurance on quality delivery.

The result of this way is the 100% A-quality and ideal color uniformity within sheet and between sheets.
