If it's time to give your home a makeover,
why not opt for bamboo flooring? With bamboo laminate, you get a durable, beautiful floor that looks and feels just like exquisite hardwood.
So, what's the difference between bamboo and hardwood flooring.
Bamboo flooring is made out of bamboo plants; it doesn't require any trees to be cut down to make it. Bamboo is actually a grass - not a wood. However, when it is harvested to make bamboo laminate flooring, the result is a hardwood-like appearance. In fact, if you just looked at it inside someone's home, you wouldn't be able to tell if the flooring was made out of actual hardwood or bamboo!
So, now that you know what bamboo flooring is, what do you need to know about it? These 3 things:
1.Bamboo laminate is water-proof
If you've ever talked to a hardwood flooring manufacturer, you know that hardwood and water don't mix. In fact, simple spills or tiny leaks can lead to permanent hardwood damage - like warping and discoloration.But bamboo flooring is different. You can use a damp mop to clean it, without worrying about ruining it. It will hold its own against moisture and liquids.
2.If you need a harder floor, go with strand woven bamboo flooring
Whether you need your flooring to survive amongst kids, pets, or lots of foot traffic, strand woven bamboo flooring is up for the challenge!
Strand woven bamboo flooring is twice as hard as sturdy oak flooring. It's made by weaving strips of bamboo together, then compressing them in a special high-pressure, high-heat machine. This bamboo flooring can withstand thousands of pounds of pressure!
3.Bamboo laminate comes in a variety of shades and colors
Bamboo is actually more versatile than hardwood flooring because it offers more choices. Whether you want a natural hue, an ivory floor, a honey-colored floor, or a deep dark chocolate color, bamboo flooring has it all!
And, laminate also offers a variety of patterns. You can go with traditional horizontal grains, or you can opt for something more unique - like mosaic or vertical patterns. Bamboo does stuff that hardwood flooring can't!
