When my husband and I began remodeling our home last year, we considered many different flooring options. The house we bought had some pretty gnarly old shag carpet installed and it was seriously in need of an update! I wanted something that was easy to clean and added light to the house. I have a strong preference for tile and wood flooring because of the way they look and the ease of keeping them clean. Carpet on the other hand really tends to aggravate my allergies. My husband wanted something that was durable and easy to install. He really didn’t want to lay any tile! That left us looking around for hardwood flooring options. I’ve always loved the look of natural bamboo flooring – it just adds a beautiful freshness to a room. Because my husband was concerned about durability, we did a little more research before finally settling on strand woven bamboo. For our combined needs, strand woven bamboo flooring is a good choice!
