Ambient Bamboo Reports that Many Business Owners See Value in Bamboo Flooring

The use of bamboo flooring has started to boom outside of the use of homes

Ambient Bamboo, a provider of durable, precision- engineered bamboo flooring has received accolades from the Retul bike company, showing it can stand up against the a harsh retail bicycle environment.

“Our experience with the material shows that it has done a great job withstanding the retail bicycle fitting studio environment,” said Founder of Rutul bike shop, Cliff Simms. “This includes consistent hard shoes and cleats on the bamboo as well as bicycle lube and dirt.”

Ambient Bamboo has found that many retail shops find Ambient Bamboo flooring an appealing option because of its eco-friendly characteristics, durability, renewability and easy maintenance.  The cost of bamboo flooring is also cheaper per square foot than oak, maple, American cherry and many other types of hardwood floors. 

 “Not only are Bamboo floors great for kitchens, bathrooms and homes we’re seeing that a lot of companies are finding the durability of the product very appealing,” said Ambient Bamboo personnel manager Will Latta. “The thing with bamboo floors are that they will really hold up to big machinery, hard soled- shoes and other products that will ruin a hardwood floor easily.”

Bamboo’s eco-friendly characteristics were recently featured in Natural Home and Garden’s featured story about “A Healthier Home: Furnishings and Décor to Reduce Indoor Air Pollution.” Because bamboo is a grass and not a tree, it is one of the fastest growing plants on earth. On average, bamboo takes 59 days to regenerate after harvesting. Bamboo products are also extremely long-lasting which is fundamental the overall sustainability of a product.

“A bamboo forest creates 30% more oxygen to begin with than a hardwood forest of the same size,” Latta said. “Bamboo's root systems are left intact at harvest time, eliminating soil runoff concerns and the need for time-consuming replanting, both of which are unavoidable in conventional lumber harvesting.”

Ambient Bamboo keeps sustainability in mind with everything they do and is happy to offer bamboo wood flooring and accessories that enable clients to do the same.
