Who wants to replace a floor? It’s costly, and a hassle. If you could, you would find a durable floor that will prevent you from having to replace your floors, wouldn’t you? Well, durability and bamboo go hand in hand.

Bamboo flooring is an extremely durable type of flooring, however, there are various types of bamboo flooring that have proven to be more durable than others.

One of the most telling features of the quality of bamboo is the cost involved. The cheaper the cost of flooring, the more likely that you’re dealing with an inferior quality. When it comes to flooring, you get what you pay for. Certain manufacturers can afford to sell bamboo flooring for cheaper prices because they cut corners. This includes using improper methods for drying, processing and gluing. Even the types of adhesives used can lower the cost of the total price.

Your best bet is to conduct research on your potential manufacturers to ensure they practice high-quality practices in creating their flooring.

Aside from processing, the carbonization process can affect bamboo’s strength. The darker the bamboo flooring, the weaker the planks, because in order to get a darker color, the bamboo shafts are boiled down longer. But don’t be alarmed by dark bamboo. This still is a durable product; however, you may want to install darker bamboo flooring into areas that receive less traffic.

Although all bamboo is strong, one type of bamboo flooring is head and shoulders above it all: strand-woven bamboo. The process involved in strand-woven bamboo makes for one of the most durable flooring products on the planet.

In the end, you’ll get a quality product if you choose bamboo flooring, but it’s best to do your homework before you buy any type of flooring from any manufacturer. A bamboo’s strength and durability can be compromised based on a number of factors. Do your homework so you make the right choice.
