Bamboo floors are manufactured from the bamboo plant. The majority of today's bamboo flooring products originate in China and other portions of Asia. The species of bamboo used for flooring is commonly known as "Moso".

The bamboo is split and flattened, before being laminated together with glue under high pressure. Known for its resistance to insects and moisture, bamboo flooring has made a considerable impact in the North American marketplace. Its popularity is also rising in Europe, Asia and other parts of the world with increasing awareness. Despite being technically a grass, bamboo is highly durable and hardy. The two major colors are natural (similar to beech) and carbonized (similar to oak), with the latter being softer in the way they achieve the color through pressure steaming.

Another unique point is its eco-friendliness, as bamboo is a highly renewable source of material. Bamboo flooring has gained popularity with the green building council and others. Typically each plant or tree can reach maturity in five to six years whereas other more common hardwoods used for flooring can take upwards of 50 years and more.
