By Lupita Bonas

Today’s society is one that has become both increasingly interested and concerned with issues of sustainable living and protecting the environment. Homes across the country, and beyond, have begun to take strides to make choices that benefit both themselves and Mother Earth. Perhaps the best example of this is the utilization of bamboo wood floors.

While other wood flooring selections come from trees that take decades upon decades before they are able to be harvested, bamboo wood floors takes advantage of bamboo, a sustainable yet beautiful material. What makes bamboo a sustainable choice is the fact that it only takes five to six years before it can be harvested and used, as opposed to nearly ten times that in some instances.

Aside from it being a smart, earth-friendly choice, bamboo wood floors provide an amazing versatility in both color and grain pattern. Consumers are offered a choice between woven, solid horizontal grain, and solid vertical grain patterns, each having their own distinctive appearance. Bamboo flooring, while available in many stain variations, is also extremely gorgeous in its natural color as well. And while its sustainability and appearance are major selling points, the price is yet another reason homeowners and contractors alike have taken to bamboo wood flooring.

Starting near $2.00 a square foot, bamboo flooring is also a very seasonable flooring option. Depending on color, quality, and grain pattern, bamboo wood flooring can range up to near $8.00 a square foot, still making it less expensive than other hardwood and exotic alternatives. Although bamboo has the feel and look of being exotic, many local and web-based flooring stores have begun to stock various bamboo flooring options, making it very easy to locate and purchase.

So for a look that is green, elegant and affordable, bamboo wood floors is the way to go.
