When I hear the word bamboo, I think of those green stalks you see in stores, or the ones growing near the Panda cage at the zoo. We were looking to replace our flooring, I wanted to make sure it was durable, good looking and green, as they say. I found the website http://www.flooring2roof.com/bamboo-flooring.html and fell in love with the the variety of colors, my favorite being the warm honey blonde color. How interesting to discover the color is created by carbonization, using steam and pressure to darken the sugar content of the fibers and the length of the process.
