Bamboo is a type of organic material that has become very popular for use in hardwood flooring for several reasons. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world and is actually considered a grass. Its optimal growth rate can reach up to 24 inches in a single day. Bamboo’s growth rate is one of the main reasons for the plant’s popularity in flooring. Bamboo reaches maturity in only six to seven years, making it a renewable resource. It is this quick maturation period that has led to bamboo being considered a renewable resource and green flooring.

Green flooring has several benefits, chief among them being is that they help to protect the environment. Building using ethical and sustainable resources has become a priority in the construction industry. This especially applies to commercial buildings. Buildings are awarded LEED accreditation depending on how eco-friendly it is. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification can actually lead to tax exemptions for buildings, depending on the state they’re in. One of the most important parts of any building is the flooring and some may think that bamboo isn’t sufficient for use in a commercial setting. But this couldn’t be any further from the truth, as seen in Teragren’s fine bamboo products.
