Builder Grade Bamboo Flooring

Q: What is the significance/meaning of the the term “Builder” Bamboo? Thanks.
A: Basically put “builder” grades are commonly made of a mix of grade A and B bamboo. This means it tends to be slightly less expensive, but it is very rare to visibly see most of the differences in the bamboo because of how bamboo is made and looks.
Differences in grade:
Grade “A”
Relatively free of markings, considered to be the “cleanest” and most desired quality of bamboo flooring.
Grade “B”
Very subtle flaws in the plank surface but still maintain even coating on plank surface. Grade B bamboo may contain small splits or cracks on the tongues portion of the plank.
Typically, builder bamboo is just a good way to save some money, I can’t say that I have seen any “builder” bamboo which is not still of great quality and will not lay as a good floor.
