Strand Woven Bamboo Flooring Manufacture

Bamboo Flooring the hardest wood flooring available
The table below shows the hardness of different species of wood and the higher the number the harder the surface of the flooring. As you can see the strand woven Bamboo is one of the hardest flooring options available today, the Brazilian Walnut is a species in the rainforest and is most certainly illegally logged if you can get it we do not agree with such criminal practises so we offer the strand woven Bamboo as the greenest option available. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants and is harvested every 5 to 6 years. See the bottom of the table.
