Apr 23, 2008
We've all heard of "Green" products.
In today's environmentally conscious society, many home owners are looking for Earth friendly products to incorporate into their home.Renewable and durable, bamboo is a great choice for your home's flooring.Growing up to 47 inches in 24 hours, bamboo fields are quickly replenished after harvest.Unlike most hardwoods, bamboo absorbs very little moisture and consequently does not shrink or swell as much. With it's growing popularity there are many companies that produce bamboo floors. Quality bamboo flooring requires mature bamboo harvested after at least 5 years of growth.Younger bamboo may have a similar appearance it does not have the density required for flooring. There are more than 1,500 different species of bamboo, each has different characteristics in hardness and color. Many inexpensive bamboo floors are made from a mixture of these different species. As a result "cheap" bamboo floors may have inconstancy in density and quality.Q:Who makes bamboo flooring that is consistent and durable?A:Teragren.
