With today’s focus on eco-friendly floor coverings it is only natural that we take a closer look at one of todays most asked about products: Bamboo.
Bamboo is technically a grass not a wood product. And because of this you can have bamboo ready to harvest in 4 to 6 years instead of decades like traditional wood flooring.
Bamboo comes in 3 different cuts or looks.
The first type of cut is horizontal. This style is the result of a bamboo stalk being cut across its length. Below is an example of this:
Horizontal cut.
Next is the vertical cut of bamboo flooring. This is the result of bamboo being cut and bound across the thickness of the stalk. Below is an example of this:
Vertical cut.
Finally we come to a cut which is a combination of the leftovers from the first two methods. What you have is a very hard and dense combination of bamboo which has a hardwood appearance. The name of this cut is called Strand-woven bamboo. Below is an example of this.

Bamboo is a very unique and durable floor covering along with being one of the most “green” products on the market today. At Duralum Carpets we have a wide variety of styles available.

With all of the Hardwood, Ceramic, Cork, Bamboo and Laminate flooring being sold these days, the demand for Area Rugs has skyrocketed. Area Rugs are the perfect finishing touch to any rooms for a variety of reasons:
- They add warmth to the room.
- They quiet the room.
- Your can change your room design by changing rug style or placement or both.
- They help to define the space.
- Can be an inexpensive way to update your decor.
With all this being said, the next question is: “What is the most efficient way to add Area Rugs to my home?”
At Duralum Carpets we make Area Rugs out of our huge selection of carpet remnants. These rems can be cut to exactly the size you want and are up to 60% off. Generally it takes between one to two weeks to go from selection to delivery. We also have a nice selection on padding that is made for Area Rugs and won’t stain the surface underneath.
