It grows faster than harvest demand, which makes it perfectly sustainable, and it can be stained to provide many colors to meet most decorating needs. Bamboo can be grown inexpensively and can be installed by most moderately skilled homeowners using the same techniques as installing traditional hardwood floors, either glued, floated or stapled. Cons: The bamboo plant takes six years to fully mature and harden to the condition where it is stronger than oak, and many manufacturers don't have the patience to let it age. Discount bamboo flooring can be easily dented and wear rough in a short period of time. The immature product can warp in humid conditions, and faded stains can leave an uneven appearance. A majority of bamboo flooring is imported from China, where warranty claims are difficult to settle and replacement can be troublesome and costly.
