History of Bamboo Flooring
In Western society, people also appreciate bamboo, but for different reasons.

While brick, concrete, and steel are also recognized as durable building materials, they are much heavier and more costly to produce and transport. Bamboo, on the other hand, is versatile, sustainable and a cost-effective form of flooring. Indeed, bamboo has become the floor of choice for many eco-conscience people interested in either constructing new homes or fixing up old ones.
Natural Shade or Carbonized Shade?
Bamboo flooring comes in two colors. There is the “natural” shade, which is a creamy color; this type of bamboo flooring makes rooms seem brighter and larger because of its light color. The other shade is called “carbonized” bamboo flooring, which is a dark caramel color.
But regardless of how a bamboo floor has been finished, there are some simple steps that should be taken to preserve its beauty. Start by using a lightly damp mop with a no-wax floor cleaner prepared specifically for hardwood floors. After that has been taken care of, make sure to vacuum or sweep the floor with a soft bristle broom to keep the floor clean from dirt and dust.
