Bamboo Flooring: Simply The Best!
Sleek wood floors gleaming with beautiful grain add a timeless grace to elegant homes. Traditional timber flooring, however, is expensive to purchase, install and maintain, both in money and time. Bamboo wood flooring is readily available not only as a cost-effective alternative to hardwood timber floors, but as an advantageous first choice. Bamboo wood flooring permeates any room with a beautiful, warm glow that belies its strength and durability.
The Cost of Bamboo Flooring
Bamboo flooring can be up to 50% less expensive than hardwood timber flooring, making it among the most cost-effective choices for any home.
The Beauty of Bamboo
Bamboo’s grain runs vertically for a seamless flow of glowing bamboo flooring throughout the room or from room to room. Bamboo’s natural blonde color glows brightly in premium bamboo flooring products. A caramelizing process uses steam heat to darken the natural sugar and starch in bamboo, giving it a rich, dark color without staining. The permeated color lasts the life of the floor.
Durability, Hardness and Strength
Bamboo’s durability and longevity make it a wise investment. It is not uncommon for a 25 year warranty to come with your bamboo flooring purchase. Bamboo wood resists denting better other wood flooring, such as jarrah and Tasmanian oak, making bamboo a suitable choice for high-traffic areas.
Installing Bamboo Flooring
Bamboo flooring is prepared to be quickly installed by the homeowner for new construction or remodeling projects. Installing a prefinished bamboo floor takes about one third the time of that required to install traditional timber hardwood floors. Floors that require on-site finishing take somewhat longer; allow approximately twice as long to install unfinished as finished bamboo floors. Glue fumes for bamboo boards dissipate in about a day.
Ease of Maintenance
A quick swipe with a dust mop is the only routine maintenance that keeps polished bamboo flooring looking its best. Spills mop up quickly and easily with a slightly dampened mop.
Bamboo’s Environmental Advantages
Bamboo clumps are stubborn rooters that take well to the repeated cutting of their top growth. Rapidly growing bamboo wood can be harvested repeatedly from the same clump without harming the plant. The environmental impact of harvesting bamboo is minimal, especially compared to cutting old-growth timber to harvest the hardwood. The obvious environmental advantage of using renewable bamboo for your wood flooring makes choosing it wise and eco friendly.
The naturally warm, glowing beauty of bamboo wood alone supplies a powerful inducement to consider installing bamboo flooring in your home. In addition, its durability, longevity and ease of installation enhance its attractiveness. Where beauty, durability and cost-effectiveness combine with environmental consciousness, bamboo flooring is, naturally, the advantageous choice.
