Welcome to the World of Bamboo Flooring
Bamboo flooring is a unique type of flooring surface that will greatly add to the beauty and comfort of your home. For hundreds of years, bamboo flooring has taken the form of portable mats made from long slices of bamboo strips bound together with twine. This form of bamboo flooring is still popular today. However, for about the last decade bamboo flooring has taken the form of flat, machined planks. These planks can be treated so that the wood is comparable to other forms of hardwood in terms of longevity and toughness. This lens provides resources so you can learn more about this remarkable type of wood flooring.
"Bamboo: a renewable resource that reaches maturity in just a few years, compared to decades for wood"
Why Bamboo?
Bamboo has an advantage over many other forms of wood flooring in that it is a much more environmentally friendly resource. Bamboo is a renewable resource in that bamboo reaches maturity in just a few years, compared to decades for other forms of wood. Bamboo is actually a tall, tree-like grass that grows all over the world, although much of the bamboo used for flooring comes from China. Some species of bamboo grow well in poor geography, and most species can grow very quickly (sometimes as much as three feet a day!). Bamboo reaches full maturity in four years and can be harvested at a rate of around 25% per year. So bamboo is a short-rotation plant that can be harvested over and over. In addition to being a good material for flooring, bamboo also has edible parts which can provide sustenance for both humans and wildlife.
