Bamboo flooring has two different types of manufacturing them: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal flooring is where there are individual slats arranged in a horizontal direction and then joined adjacently with pieces on each side and laminated together. The characteristic nodes are randomly visible in this arrangement.
Vertical bamboo flooring is where a vertical plank will have each piece stood on the narrowest edge and then pressed side to side with laminate. The final look is lined and almost uniform look to the surface of the finished floor.
