Bamboo has been recorded as one of the fastest growing plants on earth, with some species growing several feet per day. It's tensile strength is comparable to steel and it is harvested every 5-7 years as opposed to every 20-120 years for hardwoods. Made into bamboo flooring, it is beautiful, durable and sustainable. For these reasons, bamboo has become one of the most admired types of residential and commercial floorings installed today.
