Bamboo flooring brings warmth, character and outstanding durability to a home - and it’s one of the most sustainable floors you can choose. Made from fast-growing bamboo (technically a grass rather than a hardwood), it matures in around five to seven years instead of the decades a timber tree needs, yet the finished floor is every bit as solid and hard-wearing as traditional wood. At Carbon Heat we supply and professionally fit bamboo flooring across Edinburgh, Glasgow and central Scotland.
Why choose bamboo?
Bamboo is a genuinely eco-friendly choice. The plant regrows from its own root system after cutting - there’s no need to replant - and a bamboo crop absorbs and stores a large amount of CO² as it grows. A quality bamboo floor is made from solid strips of bamboo pressed into dense, multi-layer boards, giving you the natural beauty of real wood grain with a much smaller environmental footprint.
Hard-wearing and stable
Modern strand-woven bamboo is exceptionally hard - often harder than oak - so it copes easily with busy family life, pets and everyday wear. Its excellent dimensional stability also means it handles changes in temperature and humidity well, which makes bamboo an ideal partner for underfloor heating.
