Environmental Advantage Bamboo is the most environmentally friendly wood product on Earth because it is the fastest growing plant on record. It takes 30-50 years for an oak tree to grow back after it is cut down for wood flooring. Bamboo, on the other hand, can be sustainably harvested for flooring every 5-7 years. Structural advantage Bamboo flooring can be twice as hard as oak floors and expand at half the rate of most hardwoods, making the wood fibers in bamboo much more ideal for flooring. These unique physical characteristics make bamboo more suitable for a range of applications and installation environments.

Cost Advantage Bamboo flooring actually costs less than most hardwoods. Sounds odd, but because bamboo is a grass and grows back so much faster than trees, the bamboo supply is not in the jeopardy of other hardwoods. Also, because so many individuals and businesses have discovered the benefits of bamboo flooring in the last few years, the size of the product’s market has increased exponentially, bringing down manufacturing and distribution costs.

Care & Maintenance 1. Prefinished flooring should be one of the last items installed in any new construction or remodel. The floor can be scratched and damaged by people installing or working with heavy equipment, machinery, and objects directly on the newly installed floor. 2. Vacuum and sweep your bamboo floor regularly. Use vacuum cleaners with attachments safe for prefinished hardwood floors and use soft bristle mop-style brooms. 3. Wipe up all spills (including water leaks and spills) immediately.

4. Install protection pads underneath all furniture feet. When furniture and/or appliances need to be moved, always lift the object instead of sliding across the floor. Office chairs should be placed on a flat protector mat to avoid damaged caused by exposed wheels. 5. Place rugs and/or mats near every entry door to help reduce the amount of abrasive elements tracked into homes (such as dirt, grit, etc). Also place mats in front of any water source, such as sinks, showers, bath tubs, etc. Area rugs should have a non-abrasive backing. 6. Limit direct sunlight on the bamboo floor by utilizing window coverings, and rotating area rugs. Sunlight will cause the floor to discolour over time. Sunlight will cause the natural colour to slightly darken, and the carbonized color to slightly lighten.
