Bamboo is a type of grass, as opposed to the common belief that it is a tree. It is also the favorite food of Giant Pandas. Knowing it’s a grass, many of you might think that it is as soft and as brittle as a typical grass type. However, bamboo has proven itself very tough and flexible, making it the material of choice for many structure builders. Does this mean that they’ll endanger the Pandas’ main food source? This is one argument that some uninformed people set out against the increasing use of bamboo in a wide variety of building purposes. Since pandas eat bamboo, some folks worry that increased demand for bamboo will endanger pandas’ food source, thus further endangering them, as well. However, the species of the bamboo used in flooring or other bamboo products is know as either moso or mao bamboo, and it is not the type of bamboo preferred by pandas. In addition, bamboo grows at an incredible rate, reaching its maximum strength and hardness in just a matter of five years. It is also self regenerating so it does not need to be replanted. Those simply mean growing and harvesting bamboo will have no impact on the food source of pandas and will not deprive them of their food. Given all the benefits and environmental friendliness of bamboo, it became one of the primary products of iFloor.com. With durability, warmth and natural beauty giving the room an ethnic and earthly feel. Bamboo floors are considered by many, and are beginning to attract a whole lot of buyers against other flooring options.
