Bamboo flooring is actually made from bamboo grass that can grow to harvest maturity within 5 years. When bamboo is harvested to manufacture bamboo flooring the plant is only trimmed down, which allows it to regrow its biomass over and over. When you contrast this with the 100+ years a hardwood species needs to grow you get a real sense of how earth-friendly bamboo floors truly are. Bamboo floors have a very high tensile strength and when ranked on the Janka hardness scale it has ratings slightly higher than traditional hardwood oak floors and about the same ranking as maple hardwood floors. What makes ambient bp bamboo flooring an attractive option over other hardwood floors is its ability to withstand greater fluxuations in humidity with less warping and heaving that traditional wood floors. Bamboo flooring is better suited for installation in a wider range of climates.
