Benefits From Fitted Bamboo Worksurfaces
Bamboo as far as worksurface material go is fairly new on the scene, it has however gained a cult following over the last few years and is rapidly rising in its popularity.
Firstly let me mention that Bamboo is not a Tree it is a form of Grass, it can grow incredibly fast and is extremely durable, it has a root system that will stay intact after it has been harvested so it will grow back very quickly, ready to be harvested again.
Unlike most Hardwoods that are used for materials that can only be harvested once every twenty years, Bamboo can be harvested every three to five years, so it is extremely durable, replenishes itself quickly and can be harvested every 5 years at maximum.
For a worksurface material what's not to like? What I'm going to cover in this article are the pros and cons of having a bamboo worksurface fitted.
As I've already mentioned above, Bamboo is not a tree it is a grass so it grows very fast and it is durable and is environmentally friendly to harvest.
So if you are environmentally friendly and you'd like to have a kitchen fitted that has the least amount of negative impact upon the environment then bamboo is an excellent choice.
Bamboo worksurfaces offer a lot of benefits when compared with more traditional hardwood worksurfaces.
When bamboo is compressed it can often cost less than other hardwoods.
Bamboo is hard, difficult to mark, dent or scratch plus it rarely warps or bends once it's been set in a certain shape and it is very water-resistant.
Bamboo has risen in popularity because of its practical applications but it also happens to be an extremely attractive worksurface too.
Bamboo has an unusual grain pattern and can work well with a variety of different styles of kitchens.
It will complement older traditional styles and enhance a more contemporary style kitchen.
Although it is durable it still requires maintenance and looking after just like any other hardwood surface, bamboo is generally oiled on installation and it's up to you to continue to oil the worksurface to help lock moisture out of the wood and to stop the wood from staining.
So as I'm sure you can see, the benefits of having a bamboo worksurface fitted far outweigh the negatives.
So why not give a bamboo worksurface a look? You wont regret it.
