1. Will the colour change over time?

 Yes it can, in extreme conditions when exposed to the sun can alter the shade of the colour in that area of the floor.  For example, if you put a mat down that gets a lot of sun without any protection and you lift that mat up months later where the mat has been, it will look different to the area around the mat that has been exposed to the sun.  However as this is extreme circumstance your flooring throughout the home may slightly darken or lighten, but the difference will not be enough to be noticed by the naked eye.

 2. How is the Natural and Coffee colour made in the bamboo flooring?

   The natural bamboo colour is basically the original colour of the bamboo when it is in its raw form; however the coffee colours are achieved during carbonisation in the manufacturing process of the bamboo product.  Carbonisation involves placing the bamboo strips into a large heating machine where it is steamed and treated altering the appearance of the colour to that of light or dark brown shades.

 3. Is carbonized bamboo softer than natural bamboo?

  Yes, it is true that the carbonisation process that darkens the bamboo can also soften the product to some extent; however comparing the hardness from the natural colour is almost insignificant.
