The use of Bamboo predates any type of hardwood flooring by centuries. Bamboo has been cultivated for more than 4,000 years in China. Compressed Bamboo flooring is stronger and harder than any other type of wood flooring except for Wando. Bamboo is actually used as rebar for reinforced concrete beams, due to the fact that it has a tensile strength of 28,000 lbs per square inch compared to 23,000 for steel. China has more than 1.6 million square miles of bamboo under cultivation and is considered a great natural resource. This species of bamboo grass grows to 40 feet and is a major CO2 converter.
