There are many options for kitchen floors that are simple to install, will last a long time and not be ruined by spills. Two of the best options for kitchens include laminate floors and stone floors.
Bamboo flooring is a viable eco-friendly option to traditional wood floors. It is just as durable, and very attractive. Indeed they are as durable if not more so. Bamboo has great tensile strength while it retains the ability to give and expand under pressure and temp changes. The only woods that might be better are ash and hickory, but you will have to pay big time for those.

Grass floors bring to mind visions of Stone Age African huts, with outdoor sanitation, smoky fires and prowling lions. Thankfully, due to modern innovation, grass floors are no longer Fred Flintstone home decor. Bamboo has been transformed from a Panda’s smorgasbord into popular flooring material. Here is how to select a bamboo floor. Step One: Select bamboo appropriate for the climate. Bamboo floors are natural, treated or dyed. Natural bamboo is left in a primitive state, suitable for dry, cold or lukewarm climates, as it is more susceptible to water, heat and humidity than its manufactured counterparts. Treated or dyed bamboo adds volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to adhere materials together and usually adds a UF protection layer. Ecologically concerned shoppers should shop for prefinished bamboo with a water-solvent laminate. Step Two: Pick your favorite color. Treated bamboo undergoes a pressurized carbonized process where the organic sugars are carmelized, turning the natural light blonde color into a dark, amber hue. Bamboo also comes in a wide variety of manufactured colors and designs. Step Three: What do you need? Bamboo floors come in three constructions: solid, engineered and stranded. Solid bamboo floors are built from slicing a bamboo plant in strips, then binding the slivers together. These floors are available in vertical or horizontal patterns. Engineered bamboo floors position a secondary layer, such as plywood, beneath the bamboo layer and exhibit a connecting system, such as tongue-and-groove, micro-bevel, click and lock, or square edges. Stranded floors are nearly indestructible. After pulverizing a bamboo plant into thousands of thin strands, the shreds are mashed together, fashioning one of the most durable floors on the market. Step Four: How long do you plan on living? The durability of a bamboo floor is affected by its treatment process and age. Carbonized bamboo, similar to the soft hardwood Black Walnut, is much softer than its natural counterpart. Minimum harvesting age is typically three years, and by the time a plant reaches ten years of age, its hardness will rival mahogany. After answering the previous four questions, there is only query left to pose: what do you like? Think hard, because that question is the most important.
Last time I checked, it was 14 floors then you encounter the MASTER OF ALL THINGS BAD. Or, at least on your first visit anyway.
Bamboo fabric is known for its durability, typically lasting around 5 to 10 years with proper care. Its longevity depends on factors such as the quality of the fabric, frequency of use, and washing methods. When cared for appropriately—like washing in cold water and avoiding harsh detergents—bamboo fabric can maintain its strength and softness over time.
