With every calendar year, Bamboo Hardwood Flooring continues to gain more and much more popularity. In fact, it is speedily becoming the most common exotic hardwood flooring alternative on the market. So what makes this hardwood from the orient so well-liked among the Hardwood Flooring business and homeowners alike?

For starters, it helps that Bamboo Hardwoods themselves grow so speedily. Bamboo woods are the fastest growing woods in the world, which some plants growing as high as 48 inches in just 24 hours. Bamboo that is harvested commercially has the lifespan of about 5-7 years, so sustainability isn’t a concern as it is with other hardwood species.

Appearance wise, bamboo’s light color and soft sheen is considered extremely trendy. Folks who have lots of windows in their homes and have light colored walls love the way the sunlight reflects off the wood and bounces from wall to wall. The most popular decorating trend is pairing the bamboo with light colored furniture accented with black.

Structurally, the wood is very solid. In fact, it is utilized in the construction of easy suspension bridges and even homes. It is important that when creating a structure made from bamboo, as well as a hardwood floor, that the wood is treated with particular solutions so it does not crack from moisture.

As bamboo continues to grow in popularity, there are becoming much more and more alternatives in color and cut. Residence Legends is an industry leader when it comes to offering such a diverse collection of this specie. The woods in this company’s Bamboo collection aren’t just the standard sand color – they come in rich, russet tones like Chesnut, as well as Honey and Walnut.

Home Legends Bamboo Hardwood Flooring provides bamboo woods in both solid and engineered. The company also manufacturers the quite-rare Woven Bamboo Flooring. Made from 100% recycled bamboo, it is shredded, compressed, and sealed, giving it that ‘rough’ appearance, which showcases an unknown textural element of bamboo. To further improve the texture element, the rough wood is stained giving it the striped, tiger-look in Bamboo Tiger Stripe Floor

One more well-known element with bamboo, and Residence Legends in specific, is price. Residence Legends’ costs are extremely reasonably priced, specially thinking about the cost of other exotic hardwoods. You can buy bamboo for as little as .89 per square foot. That’s cheaper than most domestically-grown hardwood floors. Now that’s a bargain!
