Bamboo and Cork Flooring Installation in Santa Monica, CA

Bamboo and Cork Flooring Installation in Santa Monica, CA

Bamboo is a grass rather than a hardwood, and its hardness depends entirely on how it was manufactured. Strand-woven bamboo is extremely hard, over 3000 on the Janka scale. Horizontal and vertical bamboo is considerably softer than most hardwoods. The label matters more than the material, and the word bamboo on its own tells you nothing useful.

Cork is soft, warm, quiet and genuinely comfortable to stand on, which makes it excellent in a kitchen and poor under heavy furniture, where it holds indentations that do not fully recover.

Santa Monica, CA Hardwood Floor Installation fits both across Santa Monica, CA and will ask what the room is used for before recommending either.

Ask specifically whether bamboo is strand-woven. The difference between types is larger than the difference between most hardwood species.
