 A common error some make about bamboo is that it is a type of hardwood. 

Not to be confused with common associations of many species of grass, bamboo is actually a type of grass which matures into a material that can rival the hardness of maple! 

Being well adapted to the environment in which bamboo commonly grows, each bamboo plant thrives in areas of fair to poor soil quality, and still remains to be one of the fastest growing plants in the world.  Controlled harvesting of the bamboo plant has very little impact on each individual stalk, which will continue to grow long after harvesting.  This is what makes bamboo such a renewable source of flooring material, and why it is often associated with environmentally minded choices for bamboo flooring.  The fact that it is such a uniquely attractive flooring option makes bamboo flooring an extremely beneficial choice for your own interior environment!
