BELLETETES TIP OF THE WEEK - GREEN FLOORS

Flooring that is considered environmentally friendly is classified as a green floor. One of the most popular "green" flooring materials used today is bamboo.

Bamboo is a renewable resource, has easy upkeep qualities, and is easy to install. Bamboo is strong and in Japan has often been used for industrial scaffolding!

Bamboo is becoming one of the leading flooring surfaces available today. From its wide adaptability and durability to its cost effectiveness, bamboo has something to offer everyone.
