Earth Day 2012 Bamboo Hardwood Floors: Sustainable Flooring Options by simpleFLOORS




Bamboo flooring is a great Earth-friendly alternative to hardwood flooring.  Bamboo flooring is naturally anti-bacterial, water-resistant and made from fast-growing, renewable bamboo, which requires only 4 to 6 years to reach maturity. Hardwood trees can take 60 to 100 years to reach maturity.  Bamboo is technically a grass, yet is strong and durable like hardwood and makes an ideal replacement.

Bamboo Flooring is a perfect option for those who appreciate beauty, longevity and environmental sustainability. Rated harder than red oak, new pre-finished bamboo floors from simpleFLOORS offer easy installation and ease of cleaning with a no-wax surface.

simpleFLOORS features eco-friendly renewable bamboo flooring in a variety of styles and colors, including the new Strand Woven Bamboo Java SeriesWith a wide range of color to compliment any décor, these unique floors are hand-scraped for a rustic, textured feel and appearance.

simpleFLOOR’s Strand Woven Java Series is extremely durable due to bamboo’s high Janka rating, combined with 8 coats of Aluminum Oxide finish.  simpleFLOORS uses European Dyno adhesives during manufacturing, which is free of components classified as hazardous to the environment. There are no solvents, heavy metals, formaldehydes or bactericides used during manufacturing.

These floors are commercially-rated yet can be installed in many environments. Premium Green Strand Woven bamboo floors can be cut, installed or sanded like conventional solid hardwood floors. Due in part to its inherent dimensional stability, Strand Woven flooring can be glued directly down over concrete, nailed or floated.

simpleFLOORS also uses sustainable cork underlay with most flooring installations, as it offers excellent durability and sound-dampening properties.
