FLOORING: Thinking bamboo floors…here is the definitive list of suppliers

Bamboo Flooring

 

Research will quickly tell you that bamboo is actually not a wood, but a grass.  Bamboo is a grass that regenerates itself within 4-6 years, thus making it an excellent renewable resource. Ultimately to make it a green product, we all need to make sure that forest lands are not cut down in order to plant this renewable plant that offers a green flooring product.  Below is a list of providers of manufacturers of bamboo flooring products – virtually all are from China. 

 

We have noted several bamboo flooring suppliers that in our research stand out.  We don’t have experience working with bamboo flooring suppliers, but we wanted to call out those that were the most informative to us – so look for our notes below.  Here is the list of bamboo flooring manufacturers:
