Bamboo has risen dramatically in popularity for wood flooring for both aesthetic and environmental reasons. It can be regrown very quickly, provides a range of colors and looks, and grows in almost any climate. Bamboo is used in a wide variety of products from t-shirts to toys.
There are over 1400 species growing worldwide, and most bamboo (the most common choice for wood floors) grows at astonishing rates and reaches maturity in a mere three years.
