Bamboo Flooring: An Affordable Alternative To Hardwood

With hardwood still being a pricey option, home improvement projects can become expensive quickly. Bamboo is a great alternative because it grows extremely quickly, allowing it to be easily replenishable; thus renewable and less expensive than its hardwood counterparts. It also has a unique look, making it more visually exciting than your traditional hardwood floor. Another benefit of bamboo is that it is easy to clean with a mop or vacuum and is slightly more resistant to water than hardwoods. However, bamboo is more likely to crack or buckle in extremely humid or dry environments, so it does best in temperate climates. Bamboo can be refinished similarly to hardwoods, making it a great investment for your home at a fraction of the price!
