There are many choices for flooring. Even if you are able to choose the type you want easily, you still have several decisions to make. If you think that hardwood flooring is the way to go, try to think outside of the box a little bit. Remember that maple and cherry hardwoods aren’t your only options. Here are five reasons why bamboo makes a great hardwood floor: 1) The natural grains and patterns provide a warm finish. 2) Bamboo is extremely strong and durable. 3) It is environmentally friendly (it’s an easily renewable resource). 4) It still has great color and style. 5) Bamboo is the newest and coolest floor choice.
I'm amazed at how good they look. Definitely worth giving it a try -- and it's pretty green as well. I've heard that you have to be careful about where it comes from to ensure it's good quality.
This is the kind of flooring we installed in our kitchen remodel. It's beautiful, green, and a great conversation piece when company comes over and notices it.
