So you are thinking of getting new flooring and are considering using hardwood floors? if so, you might want to take some time and consider Bamboo flooring as well. Bamboo flooring will offer you a stylish, uniquely finished surface, and it is a much more Eco-friendly alternative to hardwood, since Bamboo is technically a grass and has a much faster growing rate than the trees used for traditional wood flooring.

Today, almost 1 million acres of forest vanish pet week. This alarming process can be considerably slowed down if we make small changes to our usual way of thinking, consider more Eco-friendly alternatives, and elect to do business with companies that have re-defined their policies to include eco-friendly products.

Use of bamboo instead of wood is justified from ecological point of view.

Let me make explain the difference between wood and bamboo, and it’s benefits to the environment. A sixty-foot tree cut for market takes 60 years to replace. Meanwhile, a sixty-foot bamboo cut for market takes 59 days to replace. Bamboo is officially recognized as the world’s fastest growing plant and has a tensile strength comparable to steel. This is a easily renewable resource and can be grown even in damaged soil.

Another reason to choose bamboo floors is because it has healthy elements. Bamboo helps reduce carbon dioxide gases, mollify water pollution, and also produces greater biomass and 30% more oxygen than a hardwood forest of comparable size.
