Bamboo, with its unique natural character, is an excellent choice for your home or office. As building "green" becomes more popular, so does bamboo flooring. Botanically, bamboo is a grass, and not a wood at all. It matures in approximately three years, so it's one of our most renewable resources. Whether you choose vertical, horizontal, natural or carbonized, your floor will be very hard and dimensionally stable. Rated harder than red oak, new pre-finish bamboo floors offer simple installation, durability, and ease of cleaning.
