Bamboo Flooring

 


Bamboo flooring has become a rising trend in home improvement and home flooring. It is a great alternative to traditional hardwood floors and is the perhaps the most environmentally friendly natural hardwood flooring on the market. Bamboo is a not only a readily renewable resource, but it is actually stronger than steel and has a much greater resistance to expansion and contraction problems that are normally associated with changes in humidity and temperature.

Bamboo is a grass and is one of the fasted growing plants on Earth. Bamboo only takes 5 years to grow to maturity, and has the potential to provide 25 times the biomass of a comparable stand of trees!

Bamboo is harvested as quickly as every 5 years, and begins to re-grow new shoots immediately when harvested. Bamboo can with stand up to 50,000 pounds of pressure per square inch.

bambooBamboo flooring is also become a very trendy statement in interior design with its rich and beautiful earth tones. It is very important to shop around for quality products that contain no formaldehydes used in the binding compounds.

Many offshore brands do use cheaper binding agents and they may contain formaldehydes. This may cause indoor air pollution and ultimately potential heath issues down the road as the chemical compounds may slowly release their toxins into the air.

So why look to bamboo to save the environment? Bamboo flooring is an excellent replacement product for much of the hardwood species that are being harvested in equatorial rainforests.

Once harvested, these hardwood species will never grow back to their former glory becasue of the thin layers of soil and lack of sunlight under the jungle canopies. Not only that, but if they do grow back, it can take upwards of 200 years!

Our rainforests are the lungs of our planet. They provide a significant contribution to global oxygen production, second only to the ocean. By selecting bamboo flooring you help save to the environment for our future generations.
