Bamboo flooring is a type of flooring manufactured from the bamboo plant. Unlike traditional hardwood flooring, which comes from slow-growing trees like oak or maple, bamboo is a rapidly renewable resource. Bamboo is technically a type of grass, and it grows much faster than hardwood trees, reaching maturity in about five years. This quick growth makes bamboo an incredibly sustainable choice for flooring. Bamboo flooring is installed just like hardwood tongue-and-groove flooring, a full spread glue down or nailed down application is preferred. It is also comparable in price to oak or other hardwood flooring.
