Bamboo is the hottest trend in "hardwood" flooring
and we love this very attractive floor!
Bamboo
has a rich texture with thin strips of varying color
interrupted by bamboo nodes. It is available in horizontal
and vertical grains; horizontal grain planks reveal
the nodes and have a more distinctive bamboo appearance
while vertical grain planks show smaller nodes for a
more refined, elegant look. Bamboo is available in
2 natural colors: blonde and a caramelized amber tone
created when the sugars in the bamboo brown during the
kiln drying process. Because this is not a surface stain,
the flooring retains its original color even after sanding.
Bamboo can also be stained to offer a wider variety of
shades. For more information on bamboo flooring visit

DURABLILY - Bamboo is very durable because it expands and contracts very little. This floor
outlasts other wood choices because it is 25% harder than oak and 2.5 times
more stable than your average hardwood floor. You'll love the low-maintenance
care and smooth surface under your feet!
ENVIRO-FRIENDLY & SUSTAINABLE - Save our forests and support green products.
Bamboo is attractive and enviro-friendly to boot! Being a grass, not a tree,
timber bamboo is a highly renewable resource because it matures in less than
6 years and is harvested over & over from the same plants. The coating materials
and adhesives are water-based, so your home environment is free of toxic off-gassing.
COST AFFORDABLE - Bamboo is available in a wide price range. Many are less expensive, more durable
and easier to install than hardwood floors. Engineered planks that snap and glue
together are less expensive than solid boards. So it is possible to get a beautiful
bamboo floor for a cost no greater than your average oak floor.
DISTINCTIVE -
Bamboo floors are unique, distinctive and sophisticated. Spice up your home or
office with flooring that will last a lifetime. Bamboo flooring is available
in "solid" boards as well as engineered planks. Due to inherent dimensional
stability, it is an ideal application over radiant heat and can be used on any
level of your home or office. Bamboo is available pre-finished or unfinished
(on-site finishes can be chosen by the customer). |
