Bamboo flooring is one incredible wood flooring option that is a great alternative to using rare or exotic hard woods, that take a long time to grow and replenish. Bamboo is technically a grass, that grows very quickly and can be turned into a durable and attractive wood flooring, that can be stained to various colours and that is much more sustainable than hard wood.
Pros
• Eco Friendly as it is easily grown and replaced
• Durable and water resistant
• Low Maintenance
• Can be sanded and refinished
Cons
• Susceptible to scratching (especially the darker colour you get)
• No industry-wide grading system for quality
• Not suitable for incredibly humid or damp areas
• Some types may experience off-gassing so be sure to do a little research
Bamboo can be an excellent and sustainable option of wood flooring, but like any other it has its advantages and disadvantages so, be sure to consider your flooring options carefully.
