Bamboo Flooring’s Market Share
As far as it’s impact on the flooring market is concerned, bamboo is still a minnow; currently, it’s share of the flooring industry is well under 5% but indications are this figure is set to explode during the next 20 years.

Bamboo is prepared in such a way before it’s made available to the buying public so it’s qualities are never diminished.
Derived from the stalk of the plant, bamboo flooring is built from bamboo strips and undergoes a rigorous preparation once it is harvested. For example, processing involves boiling the strips in a special preparation which acts to not only get rid of any insects or bugs which may still be in the plant but it also eliminates impurities which may produce an unsightly look.
Moisture is then reduced to a minimal level and further treatment follows before it’s final treatment application. The end product is then ready for the market.
Be A Prudent Shopper!
You might be sold on bamboo flooring up to this point but the same rules of due diligence apply when shopping for it. while seeing the product first hand is always best, the internet has opened up the customerr to more consumer choice. However, the usual double checking should take place if you are shopping online such as being satisfied you are dealing with a reputable online supplier. Always check to see if the supplier is contactable by phone, not just email.
When you are satisfied everything is above board ask for samples. Here’s a tip… really be specific about the color you want. Often with bamboo flooring, what you see in an image online will not be what eventually arrives on your door step. The warranty is doubly important.

One more thing, be specific about shipping costs and if you need to pay, always ask how much!
