Bamboo is Rapidly Renewable: Bamboo woods' rise in popularity can be attributed to its rapidly renewable nature. It is rapidly renewable because of its fast growth. Bamboo is actually a grass and does not have to be replanted after harvesting because it regenerates itself from its roots. Selected bamboo varieties can reach growth rates of up to twelve inches per day. In contrast, a typical hardwood tree can take anywhere between 50-120 years to reach full maturity. And with most bamboos, the harvest cycle is between 3-7 years. You can now understand why bamboo is gaining notoriety as a miracle flooring option.
Visual Appeal and Presentation: In many cases bamboo looks better than its hardwood counterparts. Bamboo, by its nature has a natural and earthy feel to it.
Very Durable: Bamboo that is harvested around its 5th or 6th year of growth or longer are very dense and strong. It is equally as strong as many other hardwood that are ordinarily used for treads. Certain species of bamboo have hardness ratings that nearly always exceed maple and can approximately double that of red oak hardness.
Easy Care Aspects of Bamboo
Spill Resistant: Bamboo is also naturally water and moisture resistant as opposed to hardwood, making it a perfect material for stair parts.
Easy Care: An additional pro is bamboo is very simple to care for. To keep bamboo looking like brand new, keep dirt and dust picked up by regular sweeping or vacuuming. And because bamboo is a water resistant material you can use a wet mop at weekly or bi-weekly intervals.
Easy On Your Feet: Bamboo is also very easy under foot. This is somewhat surprising because it is in fact stronger than some other hardwood options.
