The Beauty Of Unfinished Bamboo Flooring
For years, home owners have enjoyed the look and feel of hardwood flooring, carpet, ceramic tiles, and other types of flooring. More recently, laminate and vinyl flooring have become popular, but unfinished bamboo flooring is becoming the new hardwood flooring choice for many. Why?
Unfinished bamboo flooring offers more than other types of flooring. Bamboo is a product that offers more strength than other types of flooring. It is able to withstand more than typical hardwood as far as wear and tear within the home. It's greatest properties are durability and resilience. It is resistant to moisture which means you do not have to be paranoid of spills or weather elements causing damage because bamboo is a grass that grows in tropical areas.
As the world around us pushes the Go Green effort, a home that utilizes unfinished bamboo flooring is joining in with this movement. Bamboo is environmentally friendly. It grows very quickly and therefore the source is consistently replenished. It is a grass and not a tree which makes it comparable to the average lawn. It can be cut and it will grow back continually, unlike a tree.

Another perk of unfinished bamboo flooring is the price. It is generally cheaper than other hardwood floors. When you purchase the unfinished version of this, it will have to be sanded, stained, and coated. Unfinished bamboo is less expensive than finished bamboo, but once you add in the cost of these tasks, it could be a little more expensive. There are several manufacturers of unfinished bamboo flooring. Manufacturers that offer natural versions of bamboo are iFloor and Simple Floors, as well as businesses such as Lowes and Home Depot. The average price per square foot ranges between $1.50 to $3.00. Bamboo flooring can be glued down, nailed down, stapled down, or floated. The home that is covered with finished bamboo flooring will look as though it has been floored with multiple planks which is the typical look of hardwood flooring, but the home covered in unfinished bamboo flooring will take on the look of one large plank of bamboo. This feature can add extra beauty and a touch of uniqueness to any home. |
