Lifestyles with bamboo flooring are attracting attention!
In Japan, wooden flooring has become increasingly popular. This may be
due to the spread of the belief that flooring is more hygienic in comparison
to tatami mats or carpets, which are often home to ticks and dust. However,
the popularity of wooden flooring has led to an increase in the felling
of forests. Bamboo has been attracting attention as a new flooring material
because the plant grows quickly and has strong propagating abilities.

The strong propagating ability of bamboo is reflected in the fact that
it is possible for 200 shoots to be born from a single root. Bamboo is
also remarkable for its ability to grow quickly, taking four and five years
for a shoot to grow to maturity. Bamboo is also highly combustible. Discarded,
bamboo will rapidly break down and organically decompose making it the
an ideal building material in an age when deforestation is becoming a global
issue. |
