Bamboo Flooring
The Environmentally Sound Choice for Your New Floor
Ecologically friendly, bamboo hardwood flooring probably gives the most gentle glow of any of the hardwood floors. In addition to the four traditional types of bamboo flooring, (natural, carbonized, vertical and horizontal graining), it is now available in various stain colors as well as handscraped. While tougher than oak and maple flooring, bamboo flooring has more elasticity than oak, beech or other hard woods.
Made from bamboo stalks, bamboo flooring is quite affordable and eco-friendly. Bamboo is able to reach full maturity in 5-6 years with an average height of 80 feet. It is considered a renewable and sustainable resource because it is a harvested grass that continually regenerates. To make bamboo flooring, the hollow round shoots are sliced into strips and boiled to remove starch. The bamboo floor strips are then dried and laminated into solid boards and milled into standard plank bamboo flooring profiles.
