The Look
Diy
What makes bamboo flooring unique the occasion you look at it is its distinctive look. Quite distinct from that of hardwood, the bamboo flooring are mostly laminated. Since a lot of medicine is required, the bamboo floors are commonly available pre-finished. The most tasteless shade in which they are available is their light, natural color although darker shades of the floor are available. Such shades are achieved by a process called carbonization. Carbonization results the sugar in the bamboo to darken and gives it a honey-brown color. The more you carbonize the darker will the bamboo become. The selection of bamboo floors is added increased by the distinct kinds of planks available to the customer. They are divided according to their construction:
Besides the uniform color, the bamboo floors are certain in the kind of dark bands it has, formed from the nodes, and the tightness of its grain.
The Features
Science classifies bamboo as grass, but when you correlate the hardness of it to most of the customary hardwoods, bamboo comes on top, easily. In fact, some species of bamboo are twice as hard as red oak. And that's not all. Even when we factor in resilience, bamboo scores more. Being more resilient they are more defiant to dents.
Since bamboo is grown mostly in tropical regions, it is also much better equipped to deal with moisture. That allows it to deal much better with standing water or other spills. Additionally, bamboo floors are laminated, which gives it added safety against moisture. So chances of cupping, warping or gapping are greatly reduced.
Environment Friendly
In today's time of global arming and deforestation, it is difficult to endorse hardwood floors as any hardwood floor will mean felling of trees. One understands that new trees are being planted for every tree felled and attempt is on to protect the environment. At the same time, it must also be understood that each hardwood tree can take up to whatever in the middle of 30 and 100 years to reach maturity. On the other hand, a bamboo tree is ready for harvest in just five years. And since it's a form of grass it can grow from the same place. This makes bamboo a more environment cordial choice.
