Bamboo Flooring
 Manufactured bamboo flooring commonly found in North American markets is an engineered hardwood. The bamboo is split and flattened, before being laminated together with glue under high pressure. Bamboo floors are typically made available in planks. Known for its resistance to insects and moisture, bamboo flooring has made a considerable impact in the North American marketplace. Its popularity is also rising in Europe, Asia and other parts of the world with increasing awareness. Despite being technically a grass, bamboo is highly durable and sturdy. As far as flooring goes, it is 10% harder than red oak. Read the full article about bamboo flooring.
