Despite the fact that bamboo flooring products originate primarily in China and other portions of Asia, the concept is creating rage worldwide. Bamboo floor comes in the form of planks. Fresh and mature bamboo clums are split and flattened lengthwise into strips of equal dimensions. These are processed and kiln dried before being pressed against each other and glued under high pressure to form boards. They are catching on as they provide both great design options and green features.
Bamboo floor comes in different shades of two basic colors namely coffee and ivory, which can be assembled in several patterns to create a variety of textures. Rooms suitable for bamboo flooring include kitchens, bathrooms and family rooms. Depending on the quality of the bamboo, the price varies from Rs.200 to Rs.280 a square foot. With more and more people being interested in this low energy consuming style of construction, it really paves very good path for the future in regards to green architecture.
