Carpet

Carpet is full of dust, bugs, germs and so on, even frequent vacuuming and professional cleaning only removes a fraction of it. The first thing many doctors recommend to patients with bad allergies or asthma, is to remove the carpet and replace it with a hard surface flooring product. For those who have pets, carpeting can be a nightmare. Carpet traps odors, and stains are very difficult to remove. Carpet usually only lasts a few years before replacement is needed.

Ceramic

Ceramic tile is difficult to install and may be very expensive to do so. It is cold, hard on muscles and joints, and can be slippery. It is also very unforgiving to breakable objects such as glass, or even elbows and knees if you were to fall! Although the tile itself is resistant to staining, the actual tile may crack, grout lines easily chip and stain, and it requires extensive maintenance.

Laminate

Laminate looks fake, it is just a printed photograph of real wood glued to a piece of particle board. It can not be sanded and refinished if it scratches or dents, and often sounds hollow when walked on. Water moisture will ruin the laminate causing mildew and peaking at the joints. Laminate is also less likely than natural flooring to increase the monetary value of your home. There is no comparison between laminate and Mr. Bamboo’s floors.

Our floors are 100% solid bamboo, not just a printed photograph on particle board. You are able to sand Mr. Bamboo‘s floors many times without worrying about re-staining, because the floor coloring is natural or carbonized, therefore the color goes all the way through each board.

Cork

Although Cork is a GREEN product, it is a very soft material that can easily be damaged.
