We are experiencing technical difficulties
We seem to be having technical difficulties with the web site.
Visitors in the past few hours would not have been able to connect, instead seeing a blank page.
Thankfully, it has been sorted out. The cause was a fault in the WordPress database, which causes excessive connections. Or that’s what my tech guy told me.
What’s still not working is the contact form. Queries sent with it disappear into a mysterious black-hole. So I’ve taken it offline for now, but you can still get in touch with us via the contact page.
Sorry about all this.
Star Bamboo in Straits Times feature on bamboo flooring
Hi everyone, hope you had a great Christmas and New Year. I’ve gone quiet on the postings thanks to the busy holiday period, but we start 2010 with a nice little feature in Straits Times, in the Life section on 16 Jan 2010.
Got a healthy spike in web site traffic after the article appeared on Saturday. 
Here’s a screenshot of the article – “Bamboo the green pick for flooring”:

Just to share more insights into the article with you.
Star Bamboo was the first bamboo flooring specialist company in Singapore when we started operations in 2005. About a year after us, the first competitor appeared and the market has since expanded to about 4 players now.
It’s a relatively small market in Singapore, which is why our focus is still on the European markets. But it’s growing rapidly by the day.
The photo is of a residential project we completed in 2009, a bungalow in the East area of Singapore. Using our Carbonised Vertical bamboo flooring, we constructed a platform in the living room. It’s right next to the entrance, greeting the guests as they step into the house.
After all, first impressions do count.
So if you’d like to find out more about our award-winning, eco-friendly bamboo flooring, and what we can do for your home or office, just give us a buzz at 6565 9217!
