Choosing hardwood flooring over other options such as laminate, linoleum or carpet is no trivial decision.
You almost never see a hardwood floor in Fresno apartments for rent or Fresno houses for rent because most owners believe that a hardwood floor is too expensive and too easy to damage costing them way too much money to repair. But have you heard of a bamboo floor? I\’m getting ahead of myself.
Let\’s say that you have decided to go with hardwood, you need to settle on what variety of hardwood you would like to have in your house.
In general, most people think of oak, maple or cherry hardwood first. But wait, ponder bamboo flooring. You will be taking advantage of one of the finest hardwood flooring choices offered nowadays. Bamboo has a ton to offer.
Let\’s look at these five main reasons why bamboo flooring may be your top choice.
Warm Environment – Bamboo flooring provides a warm finish because of the natural grains and growth patterns that take place in the boards. While many traditional hardwood choices do give you a magnificent floor, it is one that also looks like it ought to be in a gymnasium or an auditorium. Bamboo flooring allows you to make a eye-catching flooring finish that exudes warmth and comfort.
Strength and Durability – Bamboo is the ideal choice for a extremely tough, well-built floor that can stand up to the use and mistreatment that animals and kids can deliver. It can even resist the drop of a pan in the kitchen as well as high traffic areas such as living rooms and hallways. The typical hardness of bamboo is 1820 (Janka Ball Test) versus White Oak (1360) and Rock Maple (1450) (the higher the number the harder the material).
Environmentally Conscientious – Bamboo flooring is the most environmentally conscientious choice for hardwood, because it is not a wood at all. It is essentially a grass that can attain its full maturity in only five years. Compared to wood it grows much faster because bamboo is a grass not a wood. When the bamboo plant is harvested, it sends out runners spawning new plants all around them. Because bamboo is a renewable resource, you are making an environmentally responsible choice.
Color & Style – The natural color of bamboo is a natural blond color that shows the grains of the wood and the natural growth pattern that provides a warm color that matches every dcor. The other color option is achieved in a smoking process that carbonizes the grains in the wood, resulting in a rich amber color, which is a amazing, darker variation.
Cutting Edge – Bamboo flooring is the newest most electrifying floor choice to hit the market in recent years. Your bamboo floor will most likely be the only one of its kind on your block, making it a cutting edge style that will give your house a wonderful, exclusive feeling all its own.
