• Hardwoods have been used for building and
  construction for hundreds of years. Because of
  its toughness and durability, it has been
  extensively used to build different structures
  around the globe. Though the use of cement has
  become common, wood is still a top choice of many
  builders today.

• However, due to its excessive use for
  construction, the numbers of trees and wood on
  our jungles and forests have decreased
  dramatically. Most of the wood used for
  construction comes from trees that would normally
  take up to hundreds of years to grow. These trees
  grow very slowly.

• At this rate, trees that have been cut down on
  forests become very difficult to replace. We have
  seen the negative effects of deforestation, so we
  need to take action before it's too late.

• If you are planning on remodeling or replacing
  your home or kitchen, it is better to use bamboo
  for your project. Many homeowners and builders
  have recognized the efficacy of bamboo for home
  construction. Some say it is even better than
  most hardwoods such as maple. It can be used to
  build walls, floors, furniture, cabinets, and
  even countertops. Today, homeowners who are
  looking something different prefer bamboo
  countertops on their kitchen and bathrooms.

• Using bamboo for home construction makes you
  eco-friendly. Unlike most trees, bamboo grows
  very quickly. Most bamboos grow around 2 feet per
  day and up to 60 feet tall. They normally
  replenish themselves so you don't have to worry
  about decreasing their numbers on the forest.
  Bamboo is as tough and durable as most hardwoods.

• If you want your home to be eco friendly, you can
  start by building bamboo countertops. Bamboo will
  give your kitchen a warm and natural appearance.
  Its natural color is light golden color. If you
  don't like its natural color, you can steam the
  bamboo to reveal its dark honey color.

• Bamboo countertops are relatively cheaper than
  other countertops. It just costs around 20 to
  35 per square foot excluding installation.
  Fabricators cut and prepare bamboo for
  countertops in 3 ways. One type is called
  horizontal cut that is 5/8-inch wide taken from
  the face of the pole.

9

• Another is the vertical cut that is ¼-inch wide
  taken from the side of the split pole. Last type
  is called end grain, taken from cross sectioning
  of bamboo poles.

• Kitchen countertops made of bamboo require
  regular sealing and cleaning. You need to clean
  the surface immediately after food preparation to
  prevent stains from accumulating. Regular sealing
  is required to prevent the production of germs
  and bacteria on its surface. It is important to
  properly maintain the bamboo to make it last
  longer.
