Bamboo Flooring >> Bamboo Wood Flooring

Sshhh, don't tell anyone, bamboo wood flooring is not really wood at all!

No wonder people call it 'bamboo wood flooring'. It's as hard as wood, as durable as wood and often even looks just like wood. The truth is, it is a grass, but don't let that put you off. Bamboo is one of the wonders of nature that is being put to great use as, yes you've guessed it, bamboo wood flooring.

The bamboo is harvested and then goes through a process to rid it of starch and bugs and to turn it into small squared off wooden like strips. The small strips are then laminated into one of two types of bamboo flooring planks, namely horizontal or vertical. The planks make ideal flooring for homes and offices alike and a range of finishes are available. 

As an environmentally friendly product, bamboo floor coverings are now the preferred choice for those wanting to make sure that the improvements they buy for their homes do not have a negative impact on the rainforests of the world. Similarly, businesses are looking to create the right impression with their clients, by showing them that they are a 'green' company, and are choosing to install  bamboo wood flooring over a traditional hardwood one. This clearly shows that the effects of consumer choices can be very far reaching.

Consumers can have it virtually any way that they want. Tongue and groove, nail down or floating are all available, in just about any color shade as well. Prices vary considerably but one thing is for sure, the stylish look is consistent and long lasting. And your visitors will certainly be floored when they see it!

So, call it whatever you want,  bamboo 'wood' flooring is here to stay!
