More homeowners are looking to ‘greener’
options when it comes to building and
renovating a home, and bamboo flooring
is one of the worlds most sustainable and
renewable products.
Bamboo is a naturally beautiful and durable
alternative to our limited global supply of
hardwood, and like traditional timber is a
natural organic substance.
It is an excellent renewable resource which
can be harvested every 5 years. As a result,
no forests are destroyed to make bamboo
products. Once the bamboo is harvested
and processed it is more stable in its
resistance to movement caused by moisture
and harder than most old-growth forest
hardwoods.
With a tensile strength superior to mild
steel (it withstands up to 3655kg/sqcm)
and a weight-to-strength ratio surpassing
that of graphite, bamboo is regarded as the
strongest growing wood plant on earth.
Bamboo floors are incredibly durable and
even stronger than most hardwoods. Made
using strand woven bamboo, bamboo
flooring is harder than most popular timber
flooring. The result is an environmentally
friendly product that has the look and feel of
traditional timber flooring, but with unrivalled
performance and at a competitive price.
Bamboo Flooring is an attractive alternative
to hardwood floors as the product is sourced
from the forests of a fully sustainable,
environmentally friendly and rapidly
growing renewable resource. Naturally
self-generating, bamboo grows to maturity
within five years and is regarded as the
strongest wood plant on earth. With forest
resources under continued environmental
pressure, bamboo flooring is a natural
selection for your next building project.
As an environmentally sustainable flooring
option, bamboo is an attractive alternative
to hardwood floors, and is easily installed.
Strand woven bamboo floors are creating
significant interest for their aesthetics and
other performance qualities over existing
hard wood alternatives. Strand woven
bamboo flooring technology is retardant
against termites, fire, sunlight, chemical
stains, scuffing and indentation.
