Strong and elegant, bamboo has been used for thousands of years in the Far East for home building and furniture making. Bamboo flooring is superior to many traditional wood flooring such as oak and maple in many physical properties.

Solid Bamboo floors are a form of engineered floor. The strips of bamboo are engineered into three layers to provide additional stability and minimise natural expansion of the bamboo, therefore, the floor is stable enough to “nail-down” or glue-down.

Bamboo is made from quick growing bamboo stalks. Botanically they are not wood but grass and are the fastest growing woody plant on earth. They grow in large amounts and to a height of 60’ within the first several months of growth and thereafter are harvested every 5-6 years. If it is not cut within 5 years, the bamboo will fall. It must be used or lost unlike the use of hardwood trees which are normally decades old when cut. This makes bamboo one of the most renewable and abundant natural resources on the planet. By selecting bamboo flooring you reduce the consumption demand for rainforest hardwood materials, and in the process help save the environment for our future generations.
