Bamboo is a grass that grows about 1 to 3 feet a day when it is at its peak expansion cycle. It can reach up to 125 feet or more and become 2 feet in diameter. Bamboo reaches maturity when five to 6 years old ; at that time it stops growing and is prepared to be cropped. Bamboo does not need to be replanted as it regenerates itself.
 
 Most bamboo manufactured for flooring and other such products comes from forests in Asian countries such as China, Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. The government owns almost all of the bamboo forests in China, which is also the key worldwide producer for bamboo products.
 
 Giant pandas, which feed on bamboo, are in no way deprived of their food substance because of the harvesting of bamboo for flooring. This is because of the fact that giant pandas don’t eat the same species of bamboo that is utilised for flooring and other products containing bamboo. Pandas basically live in various provinces and at way higher elevations than the areas which have bamboo forests for flooring and other products. Pandas do not live in the eastern provinces of China where the best bamboo is located.
 
 There are 2 chief colours of bamboo : natural and carbonized ( or fumed ). The natural bamboo is essentially bleached to create its light color, whereas bamboo that has been carbonized experiences a heating process which darkens the wood to a dark caramel color. However, both natural and carbonized bamboo may include many diverse shades.
 
 The more expensive bamboo flooring products provide a new sort of bamboo flooring ideas that has been stained. There’s even a custom hand-scraped bamboo which is used in floors. This type of bamboo mixes the country appearance of hand scraping with a unique stain and finish. This give bamboo a truly special new look.
