Bamboo flooring? I know some of you are thinking what the? But yes there is a great product that has been out for many years but is now pretty much main stream. It is Bamboo flooring.Bamboo is technically a grass not a wood so it lends itself well to adding to your green remodel or build.It is a very hard, strong an stable flooring so many people are very happy with their choice when they go this route.

On the Environmental side it's really hard to knock a product such as Bamboo that matures in 3 years,regenerates itself without replanting(Saving labor) requires little to no pesticides or fertilizer and requires little maintenance. The largest species of bamboo has been used for 1000+ years in Asian communities.

Most bamboo flooring comes from China. It makes sense since they have been using it for so long and it has been a a part of their culture for many many years.

We just have "Gotten it" here recently in the U.S. Hey better late than never right?
