Bamboo flooring is becoming more popular to use as an alternative to traditional hardwood flooring. Since bamboo is technically a grass, it grows much faster than the trees needed for other flooring types. This makes it a more eco-friendly choice. Bamboo is also known for it’s strength, making it a great option for those who have busy households. There are a few things you will want to do before you choose a bamboo floor.
1. Create a Budget Guideline
The price for bamboo can vary considerably. Before you start shopping for flooring it’s best that you sit down and create a budget. This way there is no pressure or guesswork when you start to shop. Most chain home improvement stores will carry bamboo. It will likely be less expensive at these stores than it will be at specialty stores.
2. Consider Your Options
Bamboo flooring is manufactured in a few different styles. Strand-woven bamboo is sturdier, but more costly. If you have small children or pets, you may want to invest the extra money in to this type of bamboo. It will require less care and can withstand more abuse. Grained bamboo flooring is the more common choice. You will have two options with grained- vertical or horizontal. With horizontal flooring the stripped bamboo is laid flat so that you can see the bamboos growth rings. Vertical styles turn that around and create a more traditional hardwood appearance with strips that come together in long rows. There is no major price difference between the two types of grains.
3. Color Options
Bamboo is naturally a light bleached wood color when it’s been dried and processed. Through different treatment processes many manufacturers are able to change the color. Some manufacturers will even stain the untreated bamboo before it’s turned in to flooring. For a truly natural look you can stick with the light bleached color. If you want another color you may pay a few extra bucks, but you can find whatever color you are looking for. If you are looking for bamboo for the eco aspect, find out how the bamboo is treated before you decide on a color.
