Vertical Bamboo Floor

Why Do Some People Choose Vertical Bamboo Flooring?

There are many considerations when putting together all the elements that go into a home remodel or the building of a new home. One of the most important things to spend some time researching is flooring and more specifically, whether bamboo flooring is the right choice. Bamboo is more popular than ever and many people are finding it to be a durable material that is more environmentally friendly than more traditional types of materials. Additionally, it comes in two formats and both formats come with pros and cons - you can choose to get vertical bamboo flooring or horizontal bamboo.

Vertical bamboo gets its look because the bamboo strips are laid on sides and then bonded together. These are laid across the floor in bunches and create a more even look. Horizontal bamboo flooring is created by taking the bamboo strips and laying them on top of one another. Some people argue that the latter method creates a stronger product because of the way the pieces are bonded together. Either way, the bamboo-based flooring should be able to hold up to the usual dents and bumps of everyday household activity at least equally or better than other traditional materials.

One of the things you will want to consider is how big the floor space is that you are trying to cover. For some floor sizes, vertical bamboo may make more sense because of its consistent look. In larger areas, you may want to consider what horizontal bamboo flooring can add to a room. There is slightly more variation in the way that horizontal bamboo looks relative to vertical bamboo flooring. Even if you decide not to use bamboo throughout the entire house, its durability may make it a better candidate in certain areas of the house that experience high amounts of foot traffic.
