Bamboo floors' popularity has increased over the past few years as people have become more aware of the fragile state of the environment.
Because it is a grass rather than a wood, it grows far more quickly than a tree. The plant's extensive root system continually grows underground and it replenishes itself naturally, as grass does.
New growth, which springs out of the ground and can mature up to 24" in 24 hours and unlike trees, bamboo will regenerate quickly, making it a renewable resource.

Habitus Cork Mosaic "Penny" Tile featured in a Shower Application for Blesso Properties. Shown in Natural Cork Color.
Habitus Cork Mosaic “Penny” Tiles are the forward-looking green finish material! And like all cork products; Cork Mosaic Tile is a renewable resource. It is literally recycled from the wine stopper industry from Spain and Portugal. Chips are selected and fashioned by hand on sheets and installed to walls and floors, including wet areas, using thin-set mortar and tile grout. Similar procedures as for any typical ceramic or other mosaic tile. It can also be stained colors and finished in many ways using products we supply or recommend.

Typical of our high standards and attention to detail, the vertical grain of these bamboo doors were painstakingly hand-matched by Lukeworks, a marvelous local cabinet maker. The Executive Kitchens cabinet boxes are formaldehyde-free, with no VOCs, and are quite reasonably priced. Bamboo is a rapidly renewable resource.
