Check out these bamboo facts:

• Bamboo grows so fast, it’s possible to see it grow with the naked eye
• A bamboo plant reaches maturity and maximum density in five to six years compared to hardwoods which take anywhere from 60 to 150 years.
• Bamboo regenerates itself without replanting, which makes it one of the most renewable and sustainable building materials in the world

Now check out these BAMBO facts:

• Bambo Flooring is a recognized leader in sustainable manufacturing.
• All Bambo flooring products qualify for the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Green Building Rating System under MR Credit 6: Rapidly Renewable Materials.
• Bambo uses a “cold press” laminating system enabling the use of formaldehyde-free adhesives certified to an E1 standard. This cold press method also reduces “stress” on the planks which enhances in-use stability.
• Bambo employs “earth-minded” harvesting and production processes to maximize yields while minimizing waste
• Some exotic hardwoods are harvested illegally. All our bamboo comes from legal forests certified by the Chinese Forestry Department.
• Bambo Bamboo Flooring has a unique backing system produced from recycled wood and reinforcing bamboo slats using mostly recycled material
• Our floors are protected by 8 coats of a German-produced, high quality and solvent-free acrylic coating, the standard in finishing systems. All of which adds up to a highly wear resistant finish and zero VOC emissions after installation
• A range of colors and visual effects including a rustic, hand-scraped finish on the Eco-Vintage Collection

Put it all together and Bambo™ Bamboo Flooring is truly the environmentally conscious choice for this green-driven century.
