CVI SECOND FOREST BAMBOO FLOORING BENEFITS

CVI Second Forest bamboo flooring is an environmentally friendly product. It contains no wood from any tree species but is made exclusively of 100 percent bamboo bamwood.

Bamboo is inherently more resistant to moisture than any type of wood, it does not shrink or swell nearly as much as wood but the process of installation is the same as wood flooring.

The Second Forest ™ used in CVI bamboo flooring products are a commercially cultivated crop and are replented systematically under an environmentally sustainable agricultural program

EARTH's SECOND FOREST IS OUR SECOND CHANCE.

CVI Second Forest bamboo flooring is the first bamboo floor for active living lifestyle in North America. Second Forest is one of the richest and most abundant natural resources on the earth. In an average five year cycle bamboo can be harvested and processed into Bamwood timber, which is like wood and better because:

  • It is rot and insect resistant; 27 percent harder than red oak and 15 percent harder than Maple.
  • It is dimensionally stabler and has a better natural structure than wood.
  • It has tough bonded strength, is abrasion resistant and flammability rated in all classes.
  • Has elegant beauty with a distinct and natural grain pattern.
  • Bamboo is a fast growing grass, that grows seven times faster than an average tree; you can almost see it grow - in one and a half years bamboo can grow up to sicty (60) feet high.
