Bamboo is a unique hardwood flooring product. In the state of Colorado bamboo is great but do to our lack of moisture you need a humidifier in the home. The reason bamboo is unique is that when harvested it is not cut down all the way. As a result, the same plant can be harvested every three to seven years; there is no environmental impact because they do not remove the entire plant.
Denver Carpet and Hardwood carries all the unique looks that bamboo has to offer. Whether it is the cross cut traditional look or the strand look, we have it.
The following explains a bit about the difference between Traditional Bamboo and Strand bamboo
STRAND BAMBOO
Strand bamboo was created by boiling the bamboo shoots to separate the sugar from the bamboo. Once the bamboo is removed from the sugar the high quality strands are woven together to make the woven strands. Bamboo in Denver is then put into a very high pressure machine with a water resistant resin to laminate the strands together, making the bamboo stronger and more water resistant than the traditional bamboo.
TRADITIONAL BAMBOO
Traditional bamboo is cut or peeled like wood giving it the traditional look. All bamboo is highly not recommended for the bathroom. The moisture (steam) gets into the pores of bamboo and causes it to curl.
Any question Denver Carpet and Hardwood is here to help you pick the perfect bamboo for your newly redone room.
