If a floor ever evoked a sense of joy, Natural Fossilized® bamboo flooring is the one. A perfect golden honey color, this floor instantly brightens living spaces with a versatile hue, creating the ideal canvas for any decor style. Clean and simple, this floor has the ability to open up small spaces, creating a crisp, modern look.

Pet-friendly and scratch resistant
Easy to clean and never needs refinishing
Highly durable bamboo, 3x denser than hardwood
Flooring pairs perfectly with Cali Complete All-in-One Underlayment in a floated application
Each carton contains 10 planks with 27.01 sq ft/box
Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth and can be harvested sustainably without causing any damage to the plant or surrounding environment, thereby providing a viable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional lumber
Planks are made of solid bamboo with a tongue-and-groove milling system for easy DIY installation using a nail-down, or glue-down application
Planks are built to last and backed by a 50-year residential/15-year commercial warranty
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.

What Customers Are Saying

The flooring is generally durable and resilient, with many customers praising its resistance to scratches, dents, and wear. However, some have experienced issues like excessive squeaking, warping, gapping, and scratching. Quality control concerns have also been reported, with inconsistencies between manufacturing batches. Proper installation and preparation are recommended, as the flooring may be more delicate than expected in some cases.

Antique Java Fossilized® bamboo flooring!

Would Recommend

We have had Antique Java Fossilized® bamboo flooring in our home on the main floor for more than 10 years, and it still looks like new. No sign of wear or scratches. The cost is fairly high, but the flooring will last a lifetime! We recently had a water leak in our kitchen, and after remediation, there is no sign of damage. Highly recommended product!

great bamboo flooring

Would Recommend

Just received 5 boxes of cali bamboo fossilized java 3 3/4" x 36" planks. 2 of which had been opened prior to being shipped from lowes. one box had obviously been purchased and returned before because there were cut pieces in the box. the delivery driver took pictures and told me they would turn it in when they got back to their warehouse. lowes should not have sold these boxes as new product.

Cracking of surface

Would Not Recommend

We had this installed this product 6 years ago (in Michigan). After 3 yrs noticed a couple boards with small cracks in the surface. We now have maybe 25 percent of the boards showing minute cracks. The flooring installation company and a Cali hired specialist have confirmed it is a problem. Cali says it's our fault due to fluctuations in humidity. We have a well insulated house with a furnace humidifier, and yes, in the summer on nice days open the window. Otherwise we run the AC in hot weather....
