Bamboo Flooring instead of Hardwood

There are many trends in the design industry, but bamboo flooring appears to be unique. Because it is practical, it is increasingly being used in both renovation and new construction.

Frank, the owner of Selexic Flooring, loves it because of its “durability, low cost, eco-friendliness, and, depending on the supplier, thickness and quality.” 

The exquisite appearance of bamboo has made it popular among designers. It’s “more subtle, less ‘knotty'” than other wood, says Frank, and “it’s not something you’re used to seeing.” As a result, it is ideal for current and modern design schemes.”

According to Frank, bamboo is denser than oak, resulting in a stronger floor that does not warp as much. It’s also less costly than many other types of wood. (A typical bamboo floor costs approximately $98 supplied and installed, while Engineered timber flooring can cost between $110 to $135 per M2 supplied and installed. Bamboo is environmentally sustainable since it takes just around five years to grow, as opposed to many trees, which might take 50 years or more.

You can clean your bamboo flooring using the same products you would use on other hardwood floors. “You don’t need any product out of the ordinary or unduly harsh. Aside from being a renewable resource, another significant advantage of bamboo is its ease of maintenance.”
