Live Green! Bamboo Flooring is the latest Interior Design Trend

In the past decade there has been a growing trend to design and build with "green products" (environmentally-friendly). Interior Designers have chosen Bamboo as their "green product" for flooring.

Bamboo qualifies as "green" because it replenishes itself up to twenty times faster than some other hardwood trees and it's durable. It grows in the tropics so it's naturally resistant to moisture and is less likely to gap or warp. Did I mention it is also beautiful.

Generally sold pre-finished, bamboo is available in its light, natural color or in darker shades produced by carbonization. Carbonization is a manufacturing process that subjects the bamboo to steam and pressure. This causes a darkening of the sugar content in its fibers resulting in a honey-brown color. The shade of the color is dependent upon the length of the process.
