Inovar flooring has some of the best bamboo flooring choices

Bamboo is a multipurpose natural resource. Despite the popular belief about bamboo being a form of wood, it actually belongs to grass family. It grows as a grass, eventually thickening and eventually appearing to be like a thick long and wooden stick. Traditionally being used as a scaffolding tool used for repairs and renovation, it got introduced in the world of interiors in 1990’s as a flooring option. Bamboo flooring has gained immense popularity amongst the interior designers and home owners all around the globe and it has become one of the fastest growing flooring category.

Bamboo flooring in India as a concept gained prominence in past 10 to 15 years. It is considered as a cheaper version of wooden flooring with nearly same looks and features as well as the beauty. The rising disposable income in the hands of Indians has also helped in the growing popularity of bamboo as a flooring option. More and more Indians are following international interiors trends and opting for wooden look for their flooring instead of the tiles or natural stone. But since natural hardwood flooring can be quite an expensive affair, they choose bamboo which gives more or less the same look that a natural wooden flooring would give to the home interiors. The maintenance of wooden flooring can also be an expensive affair and due to this reason also bamboo flooring becomes the preferred choice. Since bamboo can adapt very easily in a hot and humid atmosphere, it is a good option for Indian homes, especial the highly humid coastal regions of the country.

 

India’s north east regions produces a good amount of bamboo grass as the region is blessed with record breaking rains during monsoon. It is a fast growing, fast rejuvenating and fast replenishing natural resource. Therefore, such good amount of water supply helps in fast growth of bamboo. Although bamboo takes around five years to mature and reach full growth, some of the bamboo varietals record a full growth in length and width within a year or two.
