Bamboo might seem like a wood, but it actually belongs to the grass family and is one of the rapid growing species in the world. Bamboo flooring is now becoming common among many countries because of its diverse advantages. In view of the fact that bamboo is eco-friendly, it can adjust to the changing environments anywhere in the world. The special attribute of bamboo is that it can lower the intensity of light and can protect us from ultra violet rays. Hence bamboo can also be called as an atmospheric and soil purifier. Bamboo flooring could be found common in an average sparkling honey brown shade or in light tan normal shade. People nowadays are changing their hardwood flooring to bamboo flooring because of its attractive color, design and other price advantages.
If you are a person interested in making your home to look natural, then bamboo flooring is the best and the cost effective choice. Bamboo floorings are available in different lengths and could be purchased either in the market or online. The dealers who are selling bamboo flooring these days are also giving option for you to select the best design to shape on your flooring. Since bamboos are flexible they are also used to make both aesthetic items and other pleasing decorative items that are environment friendly. Hence to prevent the increasing environmental issues bamboo floorings would be the ideal choices that are now available to decorate homes or business places. The days of using traditional hardwood flooring is becoming extinct nowadays, because of these bamboo floorings.
Just like buying branded and durable bamboo flooring is vital, maintaining bamboo floorings is also very essential. Bamboo floorings don’t require frequent usage of polishers and other cleaning solutions like other hardwood floorings. In general, the color of the bamboo flooring is directly proportional to the amount of time required to process it. It is advisable not to install bamboo floorings, in bathrooms or in other areas of your home and office. Since these areas are prone to dampness, the bamboo flooring could be easily deformed or damaged. When buying bamboo floorings and hardwood floorings it could be witnessed in some cases that the bamboo floorings would cost less compared to other floorings. The labor cost can also be found almost the same. As the installation techniques are almost the same for hardwood flooring as well as bamboo flooring, it is relatively easy and it could be seen that most of the hardwood flooring installing experts have now started to install bamboo flooring too.
Bamboo has become one of the hottest trends among Americans and European nowadays. Soon it is expected to become the common flooring across the globe. It has also started captivating the hearts of millions because of its beauty, durability and eco friendly nature.

Bamboo Flooring for a Negotiable Bamboo Flooring Prices

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Image taken on by .
If you are planning on a total make-over for your house and in the process changing its flooring, you can have a lot of options to choose from. You can completely change the material of your existing tile or you may just change the color of your tiles only. But then, you might think of trying bamboo flooring instead. Bamboo floors are so far the highly recommended material in today’s home furnishing industry. They are created out of a bamboo plant and the product has originated from some parts of Asia, but most often, they come from China. “Moso” is the common specie of bamboo that is used for flooring.

 

Bamboo floorings are of different forms and depending on its variety will be the corresponding bamboo flooring prices. Each of the bamboo flooring varies in terms of its manufacturing process.   Aside from this, they may also differ primarily on where and how it is being marketed. Bamboo flooring prices is totally dependent on its origin, as well as the quality of the bamboo itself.

 

In the Southeast Asia, the bamboo flooring comes from thin bamboo stems which are cut into a flat form. The bamboos are cut as flat as possible and they are cut into uniform lengths. This type of bamboo flooring can be used as is, with its natural color, or it may also be stained, dyed or varnished. The bamboo flooring of this type is usually nailed to bigger bamboo stems or to wooden beams, resulting in more spaces in between the bamboo flooring. This is recommended for use on stilted houses, for a better circulation of air, especially for warm summers.

 

In the North America, a different processing technique is used for bamboo flooring. This is to complement the weather of the countries in this part also. The manufactured products are highly processed. The bamboo stems used comes from bigger bamboo stems. They are split into uniform width and lengths, and then they are flattened. Further processing is done, by drying it and then laminating it with the use of layers of glue in high pressure.  

 

From the process itself, you will now have an idea how much the bamboo flooring prices will be. The longer and finer the processing will be, the higher will be its price range, notwithstanding the quality of the product, too.

 

Bamboo floorings are also available depending on its grain orientation. The pieces of woods may be either in horizontal or in vertical. Horizontal bamboo flooring contains slats that are horizontally arranged on its widest edge. They are then joined on its sides with adjoining pieces with the aid of a laminate system coupled with a high pressure. The finished look of the bamboo flooring is one where the bamboo nodes are not that visible.

 

For bamboo flooring with vertical grain orientation, each piece is laminated side to side on its narrowest edge. The overall effect of this type is a uniform look right to the surface of the finished bamboo flooring.

 

Bamboo flooring prices will again depend on its installation procedure. Installing locking bamboo flooring is easier since each piece has an interlocking joint that can simply be fixed in place. If installation is fast and easy, then there is no need for a highly equipped installer. The bamboo flooring prices will then be lower.

How to Choose Bamboo Flooring?

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Image taken on by .
Bamboo flooring is really popular at present. Several of my friends installed bamboo flooring in their houses recently. And I also plan to have bamboo flooring in my living room.

Do you wonder why bamboo flooring is so popular? My reason for buying bamboo flooring is as follows:

The first reason I prefer bamboo flooring is that bamboo is renewable. It grows much faster than trees. So, when you are choosing bamboo products instead of wood ones, you are actually saving a forest.

Second, as a girl chasing novelty and elegance, I find bamboo flooring a ideal choice. Most bamboo flooring maintains the original appearance of bamboo somewhat. Therefore the floor looks quite natural.
The flooring I bought from Floor Bamboo, Inc. is made from Mao Bamboo. Do you know this kind of bamboo?. Oh, this bamboo grows mostly in China, a mythical and ancient Country in Orient. And this special Mao Bamboo is one of the hardest plants on earth.

Moreover, durability is another reason which makes me love bamboo flooring. Although bamboo is grass, its’ unique structure makes it very strong. It is as strong as maple and it much stronger than oak.

I told you that I just bought some flooring from Floor Bamboo, Inc. I had to say that buying floor is not a easy job. You have to do a lot of research on prices, quality, and warranty, etc. And I myself have already gone through this. So, I wish to share my experience with you here.

1. Price is absolutely a key factor for most people when buying flooring. The prices of bamboo flooring on market range quite different. But it is not necessarily the higher price, the better products. It is important to do a research and comparison, then choose a reasonable price, taking the quality in account.

2. Choose one type of bamboo flooring that fit you. As for structure, there are generally three kinds of bamboo flooring——strand-woven and grained.
The strand-woven bamboo is harder than traditional bamboo flooring, but the price is relatively higher.
Common and popular bamboo flooring is grained bamboo flooring. There are horizontal grained flooring and vertical grained one. For horizontal style, the strips are laid flat so the top surface shows the bamboo’s natural growth rings. While for Vertical grained style, the strips are turned on their sides and laminated together in long, slender rows creating a different appearance.

3. As for color processing, the traditional method is staining. Though carbonization may soft the bamboo a little, it is highly recommended. Carbonization is something of a high pressure heat treatment, which transforms the color of entire board inside out. In the process of carbonization, there is no adding manmade material. However, when staining, you have to use paint and the natural appearance of bamboo would be destroyed. More and more stores tend to supply carbonized bamboo flooring now. The flooring I bought from Floor Bamboo, Inc is also carbonized bamboo flooring.

4. Order 5%-10% extra flooring for waste.
To decide how much flooring you need, you have to measure the area of your room, which you plan to have bamboo flooring installed in. It is strongly recommended to order about 10% extra flooring for cutting, waste, and maybe, accidental damage in future. If the installation is not very smooth, and you did not order extra flooring. You will find it really troublesome to buy new ones. An the spare flooring really useful if there is some accident happen to your flooring, such as scratch or so.

5. Do not install bamboo flooring in bathroom or any place with too much moisture. Though bamboo flooring is moisture resistant, too much and longtime moisture will damage bamboo flooring and even make the flooring out of shape. If you insist having bamboo flooring installed in your bathroom, it is ok. But I have to remind you that the flooring installed in bathroom is out of warranty. So when you are buying flooring, pay special attention to the terms of warranty. This will helps you a lot in the long run.

That is some points of mine. I hope they will be of help to you when you are buying bamboo flooring.
