Environmentally Friendly Bamboo Floors
Bamboo is one of the most eco-friendly products on the market today. Bamboo is a renewable resource: a grass that grows very quickly and can be harvested in three years versus an oak tree that takes 120 years to grow to maturity. Bamboo makes an extremely durable floor and is easy to clean and keep clean.
Hardwood Flooring That's Eco-Friendly
All of the floors in this environmentally friendly home are commercial grade stranded bamboo, the most durable of all the bamboos.
Green Facts
"Bamboo absorbs four times as much carbon dioxide as a stand of hardwood trees and releases 35 percent more oxygen."
