Bamboo Flooring Winston Salem
Sustainable Yet Stylish
Bamboo flooring in Winston Salem has become quite popular. Bamboo, while often grouped with hardwood floors, is actually made from a species of grass called “Moso.” Let's learn more about bamboo floors.
Most bamboo flooring is created from stalks of bamboo that are four to five years old. These stalks are then sliced into strips and woven or laid into planks. There’s a lot to learn but the professionals at Floor Coverings International in Winston Salem NC are here to help.
Conservationists like bamboo for its ability to replenish itself quickly, giving bamboo flooring a “green” quality that most hardwood floors don’t have. Bamboo is also harder than many hardwoods, making it resistant to most scratches and scuffs. (Its exact strength depends on the manufacturing process and other factors.)
Despite its strength, bamboo flooring can be cut relatively easily using only a compound miter or hand saw. It is also adaptable to a wide number of surfaces, and can be fixed to plywood or even concrete. While traditionally light colored, you can stain bamboo flooring to match almost any décor. As it ages, it will take on a patina that only adds to its charm. Call Floor Coverings International in Winston Salem for bamboo flooring today.
