Bamboo, a grass, grows quite quickly each time it is harvested. The advantage, however, is that it is ideal as a flooring material since it is almost 25% harder and stronger than traditional woods like red oak etc.
Also, bamboo comes in different color shades and grains making it a sustainable, strong and very beautiful flooring option. Today it is a very popular material for flooring both for its strength and eco-friendliness. There are several leading bamboo flooring manufactures in the US.
