Ceramic Flooring

Bamboo Flooring

Bamboo flooring is an extremely popular choice of flooring. It has gained popularity over the past decade and is now one of the most popular types of flooring that is being installed today. Much of this is due to its durability, low cost, and excellent durability.

Shorter Renewable Cycle

One amazing fact about bamboo is that it is a grass, and, therefore, grows faster than trees. Typical hardwood trees take as many as 50 or even 100 years to gain complete maturity! In contrast, bamboo, takes five or seven years to gain complete maturity. Thus, the regeneration cycle for bamboo hardwood flooring is much less when compared to hardwood varieties.

More Durability

Bamboo hardwood flooring offers more durability and a longer shelf life when compared to conventional wooden flooring. It is one of the hardest types of grass there is in the world and stacks up well when compared to other hardwoods. Bamboo hardwood flooring is very hard and holds up well to against gouging and deep nicks. However, it does scratch quite easily! The scratches aren’t deep but they can accumulate rather quickly.

Cost Advantage

Another important advantage over other types of hardwood floors is that bamboo hardwood flooring costs much less compared to other types of wood flooring. It can be as inexpensive as $2 per square foot. Bamboo hardwood flooring continues to remain aesthetically and visually appealing, and, with the attractive price, it is one of the greatest values in the hardwood flooring market.

Color Variations

Bamboo hardwood flooring is available in a variety of colors. This is due largely to the fact that bamboo is cultivated during differing seasons, climatic conditions and with differing supplies of water. If you purchased different planks of bamboo hardwood flooring from various manufacturers you would undoubtedly find marked differences in color. Take note of this when shopping for your new bamboo floors. Also consider which way grain runs, vertical or horizontal.

Care and Maintenance

Once installation of your bamboo hardwood flooring is complete, the proper care and maintenance is crucial in order to preserve your new bamboo floors. First, ensure the bamboo hardwood flooring is kept dry at all times. This rule applies to all hardwood flooring and bamboo is no exception. Water is the enemy. Keep the floor clean. Sweep and keep your floor absent of dirt and grit. Because bamboo is especially prone to scratching, keeping the floor as clean as possible will help keep it looking nice. Shoes can grind dirt and sand into the floor and cause scratching. Keep it clean by sweeping, using shoe mats, and entry rugs.
