Why has bamboo flooring recently become more and more popular?
Bamboo flooring is made from a natural resource which is renewable and recyclable. Buildings, barns, ships, and other structures made of bamboo often find a second life in bamboo flooring. As people have become more aware of their impact on the environment, bamboo has emerged as a beautiful, durable, natural floor which is more environmentally friendly than traditional floors. Also, because the bamboo “forest” renews itself after only a few years, less land is required to produce bamboo flooring and it can be offered at a more attractive price than traditional hardwoods, and the type of bamboo used is not part of the panda diet. Finally, bamboo flooring is a good choice for a healthy home as it creates less dust and potentially harmful chemical emissions than many types of flooring.
