Bamboo Flooring: The Green Trend

As it turns out, not many know much about Bamboo material as a flooring option. The importance we place on renewable, green and environmentally friendly products has meant a difference in the way we look at flooring options too. Bamboo flooring is growing in popularity among homeowners because of its attractive appearance, durability and sustainability.

The first thing to know about bamboo is that although it behaves like wood, it’s actually a fast-growing grass that renews itself every couple years. This flooring has been popular among the industry in Asia, and now the United States have recently discovered the benefits behind bamboo flooring. Bamboo flooring is one of the only wood material that is completely renewable. The use of natural materials is an important trend right now; as people are becoming more ecologically conscious they are wanting products that reflect these green values.

Because of this sustainability, the price for the flooring is also very affordable. The bamboo grass is woven together to create the density and durability of an every day hardwood floor. Just like hardwood flooring, there are also numerous finishes and sizes and styles that can be used. Bamboo is a trendy flooring material that can elevate the look of a space almost instantly. It has an appearance and a feel that is similar to hardwood and yet, is still distinct and different. The design focuses on individual personality and natural essence.

There are also many other environmentally friendly benefits of bamboo as well. Because bamboo is a natural vegetation it absorbs moisture and cleanses the air in a space. Bamboo is also fairly easy to maintain and is more resistant to water damage then other flooring options.
