Bamboo Flooring
Bamboo is one of the world's fastest growing plants; in fact, bamboo is a grass. Bamboo is quickly renewable. It matures in 3 years, at which time it can be cut for use as floor. Oak can take up to a century to mature.
Bamboo flooring is relatively impact-resistant because of the forgiving nature of bamboo's cellular structure. Typically, bamboo comes as an engineered wood product, either in tiles or planks, similar to cork. As such, it generally comes pre-finished, though a few manufacturers provide the raw planks for the customer to stain and seal. It is recommended to buy pre-finished, however, as the manufacturers of bamboo flooring apply high-grade finishes in controlled environments.
This product is very versatile and can be installed in both residential and commercial applications.
