Harvesting The Right Bamboo
Harvesting The Right Bamboo
Using the finest base material is key to creating exceptional bamboo products. The vast bamboo forests in the mountainous regions of Eastern China provide the ideal raw material for Well Nature Bamboo. For the best results, bamboo stems are harvested at the optimal age of 5 years. Younger stems lack full lignification, resulting in insufficient density and hardness, while older stems may develop unattractive grey stains, affecting the final product’s appearance.
At Well Nature Bamboo, quality begins at the source. Our dedicated team meticulously inspects and selects the highest-quality bamboo stems before the production of laminated bamboo begins. This attention to detail ensures that every Well Nature Bamboo product meets the highest standards of durability, performance, and aesthetic appeal.
Making Bamboo Strips From Hollow Stems
Making Bamboo Strips From Hollow Stems
Freshly harvested bamboo stems are expertly processed into strips through a detailed production process. This involves more than simply slicing the hollow bamboo stems. During this process, the outer skin of the bamboo is removed, creating material that is often repurposed as biomass for energy production. The more material removed for biomass, the costlier the remaining strips become, making strips without skin the highest quality—and the most expensive.
The purchasing phase is crucial in determining the quality of these strips, even though differences might not be immediately visible in the final product. At Well Nature Bamboo, only premium-quality strips are selected for production. Our team rigorously inspects and approves every strip before manufacturing begins, ensuring the highest standards for our bamboo products.
Thermal Treatment To Alter The Colour
Thermal Treatment To Alter The Colour
Laminated bamboo products are available in two classic colors: Ecru and Caramel. Bamboo’s natural color is a light brown with a subtle yellowish hue. Through a specialized steaming process, this light brown deepens and the yellowish tint fades, resulting in the elegant Ecru tone. By increasing temperature and pressure during the steam treatment, the bamboo achieves a richer, darker brown shade known as Caramel.
Both Ecru and Caramel strips are ideal for indoor applications. For outdoor use, Caramel strips must first undergo impregnation to ensure durability. To maintain quality and stability, bamboo strips are carefully dried to the precise moisture content needed for further production. This meticulous process ensures high-performance and aesthetically pleasing laminated bamboo products.
Moisture Content Defines The Stability Of Bamboo Products
Moisture Content Defines The Stability Of Bamboo Products
Like any natural material, bamboo is sensitive to moisture—it expands as moisture content increases and contracts when it decreases. Proper control of moisture content is essential at every stage of production. This is achieved by carefully managing the drying process in controlled drying rooms. The final moisture content of bamboo products plays a critical role in their performance after installation.
For example, installing bamboo with a high moisture content in a dry environment can cause the product to shrink as it loses moisture, potentially leading to significant issues. To guarantee the exceptional quality of Well Nature Bamboo products, our quality inspectors meticulously monitor moisture levels during and after production for every batch, ensuring reliability and stability for a wide range of applications.
Sorting The Bamboo Strips By Colour
Sorting The Bamboo Strips By Colour
As a natural product, bamboo may exhibit slight color variations between individual strips, especially since only a steam process is used to alter their color. Before further processing, these strips are meticulously sorted by color tone and inspected for quality. While many manufacturers use mixed-colored strips from their stock, Well Nature Bamboo takes customization a step further by offering products in defined colors or specific color batches to meet your exact needs. This commitment to precision ensures a consistent and tailored finish for every project.
Bamboo Products Contain Bamboo And Glue
Bamboo Products Contain Bamboo And Glue
The bamboo strips are carefully glued together, with the final product containing only 1-2% glue. At Well Nature Bamboo, sustainability is a priority, and we are committed to transitioning from chemical resins to bio-glues. However, no bio-glue currently meets our stringent quality standards. Until bio-glues can achieve the required performance, we rely on trusted brands to provide adhesives with the lowest emissions and superior bonding strength.
The type and quantity of glue used are difficult to identify in the finished product but play a significant role in production costs. By prioritizing quality and sustainability, Well Nature Bamboo ensures both performance and environmental responsibility in every product.
Laminating Bamboo Can Be Done In Various Ways
Laminating Bamboo Can Be Done In Various Ways
The bamboo strips can be glued together in various configurations depending on the product type and desired dimensions. In the Plain Pressed variation, the strips are arranged horizontally, while in the Side Pressed variation, they are placed vertically. Each adhesive used requires specific temperature and compression settings to ensure proper curing.
The curing process is crucial to the final product’s quality. If the glue is not cured correctly, it can result in delamination of the bamboo over time. At Well Nature Bamboo, we prioritize precise curing techniques and high-quality adhesives to ensure durable, long-lasting products tailored to meet diverse application needs.

The final step in laminated bamboo production is precise profiling of the material. Using advanced, high-quality machinery—often European-made—Well Nature Bamboo ensures meticulous processing to create flooring, panels, and beams with superior accuracy. Every laminated bamboo product undergoes a final quality check during packaging to guarantee flawless results.
Compared to wood, laminated bamboo offers exceptional stability and structural consistency, free from knots or resin issues. Its versatility makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, combining durability, elegance, and eco-friendliness for both residential and commercial projects.
