EcoTimber

Since 1992, the EcoTimber brand of bamboo flooring has had a reputation for quality and environmental consciousness. EcoTimber is dedicated to forest preservation and producing flooring products that are friendly to the environment. All bamboo flooring manufactured by EcoTimber contains absolutely no formaldehyde whatsoever, and only emit a minimal amount of VOC’s. EcoTimber uses bamboo only from sustainable farms and does not condone the harvesting of bamboo from wild habitats.

What are the Options Available Through the EcoTimber Brand?

EcoTimber features the EcoBamboo Collection which contains a nice variety of color and grain options. The appearance of these bamboo floors are very similar to the appearance of hardwood flooring and are just as durable if not more so. From pale and natural to dark and mysterious, the EcoBamboo collection is sure to have an option pleasing to everyone. Varying widths and lengths are also available for any size room.

In terms of design options, many things are possible with a little creativity. Create a border around the perimeter of the room by choosing a darker colored bamboo from the FSC Prestige Collection offered by Nikzad and combining that with a lighter, more natural color from EcoBamboo. For a unique perspective, one could reverse the tones and use a dark color from the EcoBamboo collection for the main color and accent it with a light choice from Nikzad’s FSC Pacifique Strand Bamboo collection.

The Durability of EcoTimber Products

EcoTimber is serious about two things: helping the environment and creating durable quality bamboo flooring. Nearly every product from EcoTimber comes with a 27 year residential or 5 year commercial warranty. Bamboo is naturally resistant to fire, mildew, stains, and pests. A little light cleaning on a regular basis will keep bamboo floors in their best condition.

It is best to use a fine fiber broom or vacuum with a hard surface attachment to remove tiny particles that can scratch the finish of bamboo floors. For more thorough cleanings, only a mild, no-rinse detergent should be used. Caustic chemicals that require removal should be avoided. It is also a good idea to apply rugs or mats at doorways and under furniture.

Where Can EcoTimber Bamboo Flooring be Installed?

Although bamboo is naturally moisture resistant, significant amounts of moisture can cause damage. For this reason it is best to avoid installation in damp rooms such as the kitchen, bathroom, or basement. It may be possible to install bamboo in these areas by applying a good sealant, however the rooms should always be well ventilated and spills should be attended to quickly. Bamboo will do well in practically any other room, so long as proper maintenance and damage prevention techniques are followed.

EcoTimber strives to help our environment. Because EcoTimber only uses flooring materials which are harvested from sustainable farms, we know that their bamboo flooring products are eco-friendly.

Bamboo from EcoTimber is a special product. The care that goes into each plank of bamboo they manufacture is a just important as the quality of the finished product.
