Bamboo Wood
Posted in Antiques on 02/25/2009 01:56 am by adminWood or Bamboo?
I am planning on putting in new flooring on the main floor. I was thinking of wood and then saw bamboo. I know bamboo is better for the environment. I have pets and need durable hopefully if possible scratch free. I would love input from people with experience with both or either.
Wood. Bamboo is currently popular but may not be in a few years. The better bamboo is just as durable as wood because it is compressed to harden it. The cheaper stuff is not. Because of the finish used both have the same care requirements. The claim that bamboo is more environmentally friendly could be debated. Yes it grows quickly, but most is not farmed it is being harvested from wild stocks to clear the land.
I spent more than 20 yr. owning a janitorial srvice cleaning wood floors. My favorite, especially for a lighter colored floor is Maple.
