Bamboo is a native Grass that is dried and machined into flooring planks hence making it environmentally friendly, durable and attractive.Due to its Easy to install and maintain,its becoming popular alternative to traditional hardwood flooring in recent years.It is easy to clean,has a modern look,sustainable,tough and durable.
Environmentally Friendly
Traditional hardwood is made from oaks, rock maple and hickory trees, which can take around 20 years to mature before harvesting is possible. On the other hand, bamboo is considered a grass, growing and developing in a five to seven-year cycle and can be harvested without replanting the root system.
Tough and Durable
Top-quality bamboo flooring is exceptionally dense and hard; harder in fact than some hardwoods. As such, it is very durable, structurally stable, and tough, potentially lasting as long as fifty years with careful attention and maintenance. It is also termite-resistant. With normal family wear and tear, it is expected to last up to twenty-five years.
Sustainable
One of the biggest drawcards of bamboo flooring is its eco-friendly status and sustainability. Bamboo plants grow quickly so are rapidly renewable (harvesting every five or six years). Most bamboo is farmed sustainably. Using bamboo flooring relieves pressure on other wood species. (The cost of shipping from overseas, however, contributes to the carbon footprint of bamboo flooring).
Easy to Clean
Bamboo floors are relatively easy to maintain. Sweeping and vacuuming regularly to remove dust and debris should suffice. An occasional cleanse with a bamboo floor cleaner or a mild soap and water solution can help it look cleaner.
