What Is A Bamboo Floor?

Discover why bamboo flooring is the most environmentally friendly flooring solution available on the planet.

Is it a Grass? Even though it can be used like Wood, bamboo is actually a grass that functions as a plant, self-propagating as it spreads underground in a network of rhizomes. Bamboo is not harmed by harvesting and can regrow into mature fiber "Green Wood" in three and a half to seven years. By comparison, Oak takes approximately 120 years to grow to maturity. In addition to being attractive, easy to maintain, and harder than standard hardwoods, it also represents a considerable ecological savings since it reduces the need for virgin lumber, often harvested using clearcut methods. Bamboo is gaining popularity due to it's strength, natural beauty and multi faceted uses.

Colors
Natural colorings of bamboo are light tan and also a variety of richer caramelized amber tones developed with a smoking process during production.

Environmental

Bamboo grass has minimal environmental impact since Bamboo can harvested after 3 years of growth in controlled forests. Compared to a fast-growing pine tree about twice as much wood can be taken from a bamboo forest per year. 

this is an invasive plant and can be difficult to control.

Features

Less contraction and expansion

Bamboo floors have about half the contraction and expansion problems associated with solid hardwood flooring. There is much less chance of cupping or bulging of the floor product, and will perform better in higher humidity environments or areas with larger temperature variations.

.Bamboo is generally available in several pre-finished colors (such as natural, amber and cherry) 
.(vertical grain) or in 2 or 3 ply where the wide side of the rectangle is seen on the surface. Most of the pre-finished flooring comes with a bevel, which emphasizes the distinction between pieces.

Maintenance
Routine maintenance is a function of the finish applied. Bamboo flooring can be sanded and refinished like any other solid wood flooring. The "vertical grain" configuration allows more cycles of sanding than the 2 or 3 ply.

Durabillity
With this product density is much greater as found in a mature bamboo floor and offers more resistance to scratching and to inpacts than a younger inmature bamboo floor.
