If you are looking for a new floor for home, you have probably considered different options such as wood, laminates, and rugs - these are the most common materials. In this article, we take a look at why the strand woven bamboo flooring is the best option.
It is very difficult today to find a homeowner who would not like to have hardwood floors for their home. The environments with wall-to-wall carpets are fashionable while the wooden floors are being used every day. Bamboo also can be used as bamboo blinds.
But is it worth the bamboo flooring prices? Let's check it:
In order to choose Woven Parquet means both contributing to the protection of the environment and opting for flooring with excellent performance, which has nothing to envy from the classic forest wood parquet flooring. Let’s find out the features and the positive aspects.
The great “rival” of real wood parquet has recently become bamboo flooring. Ever more popular among architects, designers and professionals in the building sector, bamboo allows for truly eco-sustainable flooring with exceptional technical and aesthetic properties.
As for wooden floors, even for the purchase of bamboo flooring, care must be taken to choose only those with certification, that is, made from raw material from responsibly managed forests.
What is bamboo and why should it be chosen?
Bamboo is not wood. It is a plant belonging to the grass family, which grows in the Far East, particularly in some tropical areas of China and Japan, where there are as many as 1200 different species.
The variety of bamboo can be easily used for wood flooring in homes or offices. It is an evergreen shrub that reaches 30 meters in height and expands very quickly, without needing to be replanted and for pesticide and fertilizer applications.
After the cut, new shoots appear immediately and in just three years the plant has regenerated completely. For the regrowth of mature trees ready to be cut, it is necessary to wait about 60 or 70 years, for this reason, bamboo is an excellent solution to avoid the problem of deforestation, which causes serious damage to the environment, the climate and the health of human beings.
From a technical point of view, bamboo is particularly sturdy and resistant. It guarantees remarkable stability of the flooring and hardly exceeds the most common types of wood used for parquet flooring.
