Shipping Details

Java Fossilized® engineered bamboo flooring keeps up with evolving lifestyles and a variety of design aesthetics -- Consistently one of our most popular floor colors, Java is a warm, medium-brown tone with stunning variation, complementing any decor style, from traditional to contemporary and cottage to boho.

Pet-friendly and scratch resistant
Easy to clean and never needs refinishing
Premium bamboo engineered for extra strength
The top wear layer features the same look, make, and density as solid Cali Bamboo flooring, for the hardest engineered floor on the market with a 4,200+ Janka Hardness equivalent rating
Flooring clicks together and pairs perfectly with Cali Complete All-in-One Underlayment in a floated application
Both bamboo and eucalyptus are extremely fast-growing, and can be harvested sustainably without causing any damage to the plant or surrounding environment, providing viable and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional lumber
Each carton contains 8 planks with 215 sq ft/box Planks are 72-7/8 In x 5-5/16 In x 9/16 In
Planks feature a click-lock milling system for easy DIY installation using a glue-down or floating application
When installing over concrete subfloors, use a moisture barrier such as CALI Complete underlayment or an appropriate sealant, and use a vapor barrier such as CALI Complete for floated floors or a silicon vapor shield for nail-down installations, while avoiding any underlayment more than 2mm thick.

Beautiful and Durable

Would Recommend

We installed this flooring 8 years ago, and love it so much that when our carpet got damaged, we came here to purchase more to use in our bedroom. It's soft and warm when barefoot, has a beautiful glow, and even in the shifting foundations of Texas clay soil, has not warped or started creaking or separating. We couldn't ask for more!

Poor Quality. Warranty is useless.

Would Not Recommend

Purchased all the flooring for our newly built home through them in 2020, move in date of February 2021. It's now April 2026 and we've experienced severe weather in spots. Ours is a shoes off home and we've never used abrasive chemicals to clean it. I called to inquire about a warranty claim and was told that the 30 year residential warranty does not cover wear and only covers manufacturers defects that would almost assuredly only show up at install. They also have discontinued the color we purc...

Good replacement for the natural wood

Would Recommend

The wood is engineered and the difference in quality (not look) from the natural bamboo I have in my entire house is obvious. I would have bought the natural wood one but it was not available anywhere at Lowe's. The delivery was superb! I loved it Kudos to the delivery team!

Scratches incredibly easily

Would Not Recommend

We were excited for these floors and initially liked the look but within the first week noticed significant scratches both on the surface as well as deep chips and internal separation on several of the Board edges. Not sure if a bad batch or what, we have been careful yet the damage worsens daily. Please save yourself $10k+ and do not buy this floor. We will probably try to live with it for a few years and then rip it all out again.
