Due to the growth of bamboo use in flooring, the market has been flooded with a lot of low quality bamboo. Not only is a lot of the bamboo being used out there of a low quality but some distributors are harvesting bamboo from forest areas, which is in turn devastating habitats. Bamboo plantations are the best place to harvest the plant without harming the wildlife around it. A good place to find high quality bamboo flooring, made from bamboo grown in eco-friendly conditions is at FloorMall.

The reason why solid bamboo is such a highly renewable resource is because of how fast it grows. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. It can grow 6 or more inches a day but there have been recordings of a single plant growing over 45 inches in one 24 hour period. But of course, Bamboo growth is heavily affected by climate and soil conditions. Because of its natural habitat usually being very warm and moist, solid bamboo flooring is excellent for houses in a high humidity climate due to its ability to absorb moisture. It only takes five years for bamboo to be strong enough to be suitable for use in flooring while it is usually longer for other materials.

Despite its name, solid bamboo flooring isn’t made from one solid piece of bamboo and is in fact layered. First the bamboo is steamed and flattened. Then the pieces are glued together under extreme pressure. Lastly, the bamboo receives the proper cut and finish. The finish is important because it helps make the floor so resistant to moisture and insect damage.

Solid bamboo flooring offers the homeowner with an eco-friendly option to decorate their home. The flooring comes in a vast array of different finishes and colors which makes it easy to match the flooring with any house’s décor.
