The lowdown on bamboo flooring and counters
Bamboo is the hottest new flooring material, not only for its sleek look but also because it comes from a sustainable resource- bamboo plants only take five years or less to mature. For kitchens, bamboo offers a tough, easy to clean organic floor material that comes in a variety of finishes. Pricing ranges from $5-10 sq.ft plus installation which can add another $3-5.
The NYTimes has a great article on this eco-friendly alternative to hardwood flooring. Bamboo is also a usable and attractive material for counter and work surfaces because it is water-resistant, ten times as dense as oak and easily installed by any carpenter or cabinetmaker.
