Give an Extra Boost to Your Floor’s Hardness

Bamboo Hardwoods, the Seattle-based manufacturer that produces both flooring and bamboo panels, has introduced its Hybrid collection, an interesting variation on standard engineered bamboo planks. With a Janka hardness rating of over 3000, Hybrid surpasses even exotic hardwoods that are very resistant to scratches and dents; only some Ironwood species fare better in terms of hardness and durability. Due to Bamboo Hardwoods’ method of binding strands at extreme temperatures rather than using volatile chemicals such as urea-formaldehyde, the company can proudly get away with calling the Hybrid collection eco-friendly and durable, since both of these statements are true. The floor itself even qualifies for LEED credits from the U.S. Green Building Council.

Bamboo Floors Are Great Eco-Friendly Alternatives For Hardwood

Much has been said about bamboo flooring over the last several years. Many consumers and designers alike view it as an eco-friendly alternative to hardwood, while others claim that bamboo is about as eco-friendly as a nuclear waste facility due to the industrial process of turning bamboo strands into planks. You will also find others on the Interwebs who claim that bamboo is the most durable out of any flooring available; this claim is certainly not true as a blanket statement. Likewise, the claim that bamboo is flimsy is also false. The amount of misinformation on bamboo is actually quite staggering, since it is not prudent to group all bamboo into one category.

Hybrid Bamboo Flooring Line Is The Right Choice!

Depending on how the bamboo was manufactured, how it was processed, how it was shipped, and how the strands were bonded together to form a plank all have an impact on how environmentally friendly or durable a single product will be. Just like with anything, there are some good products and bad products. Fortunately for us, we have found the Hybrid line that is not only eco-friendly but also more durable than most hardwoods on the market.

Choose Bamboo Flooring Over Any Other Types

Unlike many other engineered bamboo flooring products that use high-density fiberboard for the inner core, the Hybrid collection is made from 100 percent FSC Certified bamboo through and through. This attribute gives each plank more structural integrity similar to what is found in high-end engineered hardwoods constructed from timber.

If you are looking for a durable flooring material that also has an environmental conscience, definitely consider Bamboo Hardwoods Hybrid line for your next project. It has all of the functionality you need without sacrificing style, elegance, and sophistication.
