"I'll just give you one example. In America today, I reduced the energy usage of the Clinton presidential library, which is a huge, glass-and-steel building. I cut the energy bill by 34% by doing only two things. I put 305 solar reflectors on the roof and I built the floors out of compressed BAMBOO.." Review: Ask Alice ~ Independent Newspaper Online We are renewing our living-room floor and have been looking at hardwood. A friend has recommended BAMBOO as an alternative. What are the pros and cons? SIMPLYBAMBOO has been selling bamboo products word-wide for the past 10 years. We are one of the very few companies that only sell Bamboo and we are the Sole Agents for the world’s best bamboo flooring. We are experts, and since we are working directly with the manufacturer we are able to provide the highest quality product at a very, very competitive price. SIMPLYBAMBOO have the widest selection of colours pattern and sizes in Europe together with a full compliment of accessories (skirting boards, stair nosings etc). PRODUCT Are both horizontal and vertical floorboards available? Yes, SIMPLYBAMBOO flooring is available in horizontal and vertical laminations. What colours are available? A variety (light, medium and dark) of natural and coffee colours are available. Is the coffee colour stained? No, the coffee colour is actually achieved by a carbonisation process. Carbonisation is the pressure heated treatment that changes the natural colour to the coffee colour. The length of the treatment darkens the sugar compound within the fibres of the bamboo. The colour is impregnated into the bamboo. This means that no matter how many times you re-sand the floor (typically every 5 years) the colour remains the same. What finish is used? How many times are the boards covered? We use an aluminium oxide finish that is extremely tough. We have installed our products in many “high traffic” areas. Our bamboo has five layers – one preparatory coating, three aluminium oxide coatings and finally, a UV coating. What size floorboards are available? We stock two sizes, The three foot board (915mm long x 91mm wide x 15mm thick) and a longer wider 6 foot board (1830mm x 152mm x 15mm). What types of accessories are available? We consider accessories to be very important since they complete the installation. We carry large stocks of accessories including stair nosings, reducers, T-joints, and skirting boards to match the flooring Does the product expand and contract? (Humidity issue) Bamboo flooring is more stable than other hardwoods due to the manufacturing and lamination process. As a result, bamboo allows for less expanding and contracting which would result in little to no visible gaps or cracks between the boards over time. How does SIMPLYBAMBOO flooring prevent delamination or cupping? The 3-layered, staggered design of the horizontal floorboards or the vertical floorboards provide additional support to prevent delamination. By providing a product that is finished on all sides cupping is less likely to occur. SIMPLYBAMBOO provides a lifetime warranty against delamination. ENVIRONMENT Why select bamboo over other hardwood flooring? • Protection of hardwood forests from further deforestation • Dimensional stability is superior to most traditional hardwoods • Durable finish applied during the manufacturing process • Unique, elegant and distinguished flooring Protection of hardwood forests from further deforestation Bamboo is an environmentally friendly, renewable resource that has been used as construction material for thousands of years. Ecologically, the harvesting of bamboo does not affect the world’s already dwindling timber resources. Technically considered a grass, bamboo has the ability to grow to maturity in 4-6 years. The intricate root system remains unharmed upon harvesting and allows for sustainable future growth. Using bamboo is a natural alternative to traditional hardwood flooring while at the same time doing something good for the environment.
