Bamboo is not a wood, it is a grass. Unlike a tree which can take decades to grow to maturity, bamboo is ready to harvest within 4 to 5 years. If bamboo shoots are not harvested when mature, they will fall over and disable future growth. This fast growth allows for controlled harvesting of a resource that would otherwise go to waste. This sharply contrasts the devastation that conventional logging currently has on our forests.

Bamboo flooring is not only ecologically sound, but remarkably beautiful and elegant. Its distinct grains provide an exotic and unique pattern that can compliment any decor in your room. Bamboo 2000 LLC offers two prefinished hues, natural and carbonized (a rich coffee color that retains its color when sanded). Bamboo also takes stain as evenly as oak, which allows the staining of the unfinished bamboo to any desired color. We also offer two styles of bamboo, a horizontal lay and a vertical lay.

Bamboo is also extremely durable. It is up to 34% harder than red oak and up to 15% harder than maple. Structurally it is 50% more stable than red oak. Bamboo is naturally more impervious to moisture than wood. It does not shrink or swell as much as wood. In addition, Bamboo 2000 LLC prefinished planks are treated with non-toxic, acrylic urethane with uv inhibitors which help to repel water, mildew and insects. Aluminum Oxide finish (also non-toxic) is now available, which is a significantly stronger finish that resists stains and scratches even more effectively.

Bamboo is easy to install, you install it the same way as a wood floor, either directly glued or nailed down. Cleaning your bamboo floor is a breeze, just vacuum or dust with a damp mop.

 

Bamboo 2000 LLC is very proud to offer you the highest quality of bamboo on the market.
