Reasons why you should choose home legend bamboo flooring. Getting durable flooring for your home is very vital. Quality is needed if you want your flooring to last long. There are several types of flooring for your home. But one of the most famous choices for home flooring is bamboo flooring. Why is this? The primary reason why people are choosing bamboo as flooring is that it can give the great look that is brought about by any other kinds of flooring material, particularly hardwood, without causing any destruction to the natural forests and the environment in general. Being one of the best natural gifts, bamboo is versatile and multifunctional ever since the discovery of how to use it. There really is no doubt on why people appreciate it. There are two shades of bamboo that are available in the market. Naturally, bamboo comes in a golden blonde shade. However, it can develop a distinct and one-of-a-kind pattern once turned into home flooring. It is extremely popular due to the fact that it is eco-friendly, very durable and looks good.

High-traffic is not an issue to the bamboo flooring. Since it is only new in the USA, some are having doubts about going for it. But the use of bamboo flooring originated centuries ago, and it brought satisfactory results to date.

Another feature that makes bamboo flooring a front liner in flooring material is that, unlike wood, it comes in a variety of colors and hardness. Solid bamboo is heated so that it will gain a darker color compared to its original shade. As for dimensional stability and dent resistance, it is just like an oak tree. It is also quite noticeable in a room. Bamboo is also known as the strongest wood in the planet. The bamboo wood flooring is even in line with the strength of steel. Bamboo flooring strength may differ, though, from the type of bamboo used when and the date of its harvest. It can be very soft if you make mistakes, or real hard once you got things right. Bamboo is your greatest choice for tough flooring, since it is stronger than red oak, hardwood and maple alike.

Home Legend Bamboo Flooring, A Great Finish!

Home Legend bamboo flooring is constructed in three different ways: 1) horizontal, where one inch pieces of bamboo are being laid and glued horizontally, 2) vertical, where the pieces are laid and glued vertically instead, and 3) woven, where recycled bamboo is shredded, compressed and then sealed for durability. The finishes of the bamboo flooring are the smooth finish, which is a flat surface, and the hand-scraped finish, where the flooring is individually sculpted using the hand.

Moreover, Home Legend bamboo flooring is also pre-finished, so enduring beauty is assured. The bamboo floors of Home Legend are also sealed carefully and then protected through the use of a seven-layer Aluminum oxide finish. This finish is a surefire protection from wearing. And the good news for consumers out there is that the Home Legend company offers an additional commercial warranty for five years.

I am trying to find out what the care instructions for Bamboo flooring are, does anyone know what to wash with?

Hi Berni! The maintenance of an Bamboo Floor is easy. You can clean it with a fine fiber broom but if you want to do it right periodic vacuuming will do a completer job. If you wash your floor after vacuuming with any no rinse, clear drying cleaner such as a dish washing liquid mixed with clean water will do.

Is Home Legend's Bamboo carbonized? Also, what are the differences between Natural and Carbonized bamboo? Is one better than the other?

Hi Jacque! Home Legend Bamboo is carbonized. I shall explain what carbonized means. Carbonization is an process, the longer the process the darker the color of the bamboo. The bamboo gets heated and when it is heated sugars in the fiber darken, you will see a coffee colored tone on the surface. Through this process the bamboo loses 30% of his strength. The big difference is that natural bamboo is stronger then carbonized bamboo and of course the colors are different. Natural bamboo is lighter in color. So you could say because of the strength natural bamboo is better, but in my opinion carbonized bamboo gives your floor the better look.

In two days after installing Home Legend Toast bamboo flooring in my kitchen, I have dings, scratches, and I cannot believe this product did not hold up to two entry ways of the room. I have been searching for ways to not let any more damage occur but am unsuccessful. I am extremely disappointed and Home Legend flooring is highly over-rated. Two days and my floor is destroyed.

These various bamboo products are not that great. I've experienced cupping when doing "nail down" installations, even after a long acclimation period. It does scratch easily!

If you read the data sheet, it is not suitable for humid climates. It is also a terrible product if you are having to glue it down with the manufacturers glue. The process of spreading the glue, letting it set up, and then quickly laying that area, means it is an extremely slow process. Most other wood floor glues are a quick spread and lay process. It's rediculous. Of course, if you don't use their glue you void the warranty. Also, the glue is expensive. If you are not going to use the floor and have central air, go for it! I've done over 20 installs with this "Legend" product. Much like most low end laminates, it could be made a lot better, but they won't do it!

    My husband, John, and I recently installed solar thermal tubes on the roof of the Broad Ripple Brewpub to catch the heat of the sun and provide hot water for the kitchen and brewing operations.
