Natural looking bamboo wood floor for the ultimate in luxury flooring

Bamboo wood flooring from china comes like other wood floors do in planks or boards. It is not really a wood but a grass material. You can think of it as hardwood bamboo like oak or birch hard wood floors. It comes as a pre-finished engineered floor plank like other wood flooring. It can come in light or a dark wood finish. The light color ages to a lighter shade or a yellow hue, it is very beautiful with age.

Like other vertical or horizontal types of wood flooring you can choose the type that you feel is the easiest to install and will look the best in your home when finished. You can choose tiles or bamboo boards that can be nailed down and glued or the glueless click together boards. Both make a long lasting and very durable wood floor.

Maintenance for this floor product is the same as most pre-finished wood flooring products, light damp mop on occasion, with frequent sweeping and or vacuuming. If you have a lot of natural light coming in a living room it may show the dust particles. Where you install bamboo flooring will be determined by the amount of traffic it gets. Although darker colors show traffic patterns first you can get around this by placing a small area rug at the entrance to the room so that any sand or dirt is removed from shoes before they walk on the bamboo floor.

Vertical woven bamboo comes in a two pre-finished colors honey oak and a more of a coffee colored wide plank. The bamboo strands are tightly compressed with resin. Of all the exotic tropical hardwood floors this one is probably the most durable and beautiful you see it more in living rooms because it shows so well. The horizontal design which is amber colored is referred to as carbonized is down by steaming.

What ever your choice in floors is you will love the way you home looks using this type of wood. It is a little more expensive than other wood flooring but will make a truly unique home design. I would recommend a professional installer for bamboo floors. Only because of the expense. It would be a shame to have the installation go wrong.

Check with your local home depot or lowes home improvement stores to see when they are going to have a sale on discount flooring. Bamboo flooring can be expensive and sometimes more so at different times of the year. If you want to save money, use discount laminate flooring in the bedrooms and then bamboo in the kitchen.
