One of the newest trends in home design and improvement is to install bamboo flooring. Bamboo flooring is often a much harder surface than traditional hardwood flooring, which makes the floor much less resistant to cracking, scratching, and staining. Also, since bamboo can grow back after it is cut, bamboo flooring cuts down on deforestation and is considered environmentally friendly. While bamboo flooring can be expensive, there are ways that you could save money on the project. The first way to save money on a new bamboo floor is to shop around. While bamboo flooring is one of the most popular forms of flooring, and more expensive than other forms of hardwood flooring, a consumer could save a lot of money by shopping around. There are various alternative home store and flowing warehouses which sell directly to the consumer, as opposed to having shop through a traditional retailer. These stores often are able to sell flooring for a large percentage off of what a retail flooring store could sell. However, these stores often have a less organized supply stream, so it is important that you are able to purchase enough flooring up front to complete the job. The second way to save money on a new bamboo floor is to install the flooring yourself. When getting new flooring installed, you often will spend as much money on installation as you would on the actual floor boards. To save a considerable amount of money, you could try installing the flooring yourself. Installing bamboo flooring can be a complicated process, so be sure to consult with an expert prior to beginning the installation process. If possible, it may make sense to hire a flooring professional for a few hours to help you get started and then finish the job yourself once you have the hang of it. The third way to save money on a new bamboo floor is to negotiate the price. Since housing construction is down during this economy, many flooring stores are offering considerable discounts and are willing to negotiate. If you are not able to negotiate a discount on the flooring itself, you may be able get cheaper installation or receive free supplies that are needed to install and finish the floor.
