Eco Friendly
Bamboo is a versatile and renewable material. Bamboo grows faster than wood. It takes only 3-4 years for the bamboo to reach a height and hardness suitable for bamboo floor production compared to the 25 years it takes for a tree to grow enough to produce hardwood floor boards.
Bamboo shoots have the potential for rapid growth and can grow up to 3 feet a day. Bamboo can grow from cut shoots and need little attention to grow. Bamboo can be harvested and replenished with virtually no impact to the environment and bamboo can be grown in soil damaged by overgrazing and poor agricultural techniques. Unlike most trees, improper harvesting does not kill the bamboo plant and that allows for the topsoil to stay in place.
Additionally, because of its dense litter on the forest floor, it actually feeds the topsoil over time. This plant's rapid growth produces a yield 25 times higher than that of timber. Bamboo is also a food source for many countries.
In essence, the graceful bamboo is nothing short of a miracle. In light of disappearing forests and the impact this has on the ozone layer, it is your environmental responsibility to choose Bamboo over Wood. Bamboo floors come in various shades from light tan to dark brown.
