By Bree Hodgosen

In a departure from many types of traditional floor options, bamboo flooring is becoming more popular in home renovation and new home projects. One of the reasons is because of the durability and relatively low maintenance involved with bamboo garden flooring. One of the other main factors is value combined with the look that bamboo flooring can create in a home.

Bamboo tends to be made from Moso bamboo, which is the type of bamboo that is hard enough to be made into flooring. While bamboo grows easily and in many different climates around the world, only Moso bamboo is considered hard enough to hold up to the daily wear and tear over the life of a floor. There are a few ways that bamboo can be installed and the choice depends largely on the patterns that you want to create in the floor. Vertical bamboo flooring will create a more consistent look.

Another consideration is the hardness of the floor. Some argue that horizontal bamboo flooring is harder than vertical bamboo flooring and much of this is due to the way that each method puts together a floor made up of bamboo strips. A floor that consists of horizontal bamboo consists of many layers of flooring. Builders bring together a variety of materials and lay them underneath the bamboo, which goes on top. This is in contrast to vertical bamboo flooring, which puts each of the bamboo pieces next to one another and uses glue or staples to hold them together. Since this lacks the multi-layer approach, some feel that it is physically weaker. However, for many rooms in a house, this may be a moot issue.

Overall, there are many factors as to why someone may choose bamboo. Regardless of your final choice, any flooring that is chosen carefully can provide many years of quality flooring.
