Where do Bamboo Floors come from?

Eco-Friendly Bamboo hardwood floor is one of the most popular choices on new homes or remodeling projects.  Bamboo hardwood floors are made out of the Bamboo perennial evergreen plant. It belongs to the true grass family Poaceae.

Why the Bamboo Wood Floor is considered Eco-Friendly?

The bamboo plant is considered as the fastest growing woody plant. It reaches full maturity in five to six years depending on the climate. In comparison, other hardwoods used for flooring can take upwards of 50 years to regenerate.  Bamboo offers about 25 times the yield of hardwood and it is more sustainable and renewable.  The bamboo plant is harvested and replenished with virtually no impact on the environment.    It constantly regenerates its self by sending runners that result in new canes.  Even when poor agricultural techniques are used, the topsoil is not damaged when the cane is harvested.  In fact, the bamboo plant’s dense leaf will actually improve the soil over time.

 Grade “A” Bamboo Wood Floor

As a manufacturer produces the bamboo wood planks, they grade the plank based on color consistency and wood structure.  Grade “A” quality is obtained when the wood plank’s color is consistent and with basically no wood defects.  Many wholesalers selling on the internet change the name and do not refer to their wood flooring based on grade.  They generally use names such as premium bamboo, supreme bamboo, etc. to confuse the consumer about the quality of their bamboo.  They tend to mix their products with Grade “A” and Grade “B” quality in order to reduce the price.  What ends up happening is that the installer ends up producing more waste.  The consumer is tricked into thinking they paid less per square foot, but if they take inconsideration the waste produced the price per square foot is much higher.  Of course, the consistency of the floor is also lower.  At Floor Junkies, we teamed up with one of the largest and bamboo producers in the world.  When you pay for your product you can be assure that you will get the quality we advertise.
