I’ve been
looking for bamboo flooring.
I want something that is
eco-friendly. I want to use
sustainable resources. I
know that wood takes
approximately 15-20 years to
reach maturity and that the
non-harmful harvesting of
bamboo takes just 3 to 5
years.
As well as being
environmentally sound,
eco-friendly bamboo flooring
is competitively priced
and easy to fit. My parents
think that wood flooring
will always be superior to
bamboo flooring. I think
that the ease of fitting is
always a worry for the
prospective purchaser. There
are three different methods
for installing bamboo
flooring. This is the
floating floor, the secret
nailing method and literally
gluing the bamboo to a
sub-floor.
During my research, I found
that bamboo flooring is one
of the hardest natural
materials available for
flooring. This is what makes
it an excellent alternative
to hardwood flooring. Bamboo
has a higher fiber rating
than any hardwood. This is
what gives bamboo flooring
such exceptional hard
wearing qualities.
Natural eco-friendly
bamboo flooring
solutions are available in
four different styles. All
of the styles compliment any
interior design. This
includes ultra contemporary
chic through to a more
traditional classic style. I
like natural bamboo flooring
because once my floor is
installed; it will give me a
truly unique look.
Bamboo flooring is
manufactured from the bamboo
plant. The majority of
today's bamboo flooring
products originate in China
and other portions of Asia.
The species of bamboo used
for bamboo flooring is known
as "Moso". To make bamboo
flooring, the bamboo is
split and flattened.
After the bamboo for bamboo
flooring is split and
flattened, it is laminated
together with glue under
high pressure. Bamboo
flooring is known for its
resistance to insects and to
moisture. There is quite of
lot of recent attention
being paid to bamboo
flooring.
I heard about bamboo
flooring first from its
popularity with the green
building council. I want to
make less of an impact on
the earth with the choices
that I make. One of my
choices right now is that I
want a new floor and I'm
glad I have chosen
eco-friendly bamboo flooring.
