If you are looking to change your carpet for bamboo flooring, then you will not be disappointed. Bamboo is a great natural floor covering that will last a lifetime if you care for it correctly. Clearly, a carpet is completely different from bamboo flooring but there are some fantastic reasons to make the change.
Why should I change carpet for bamboo flooring?
Changing a carpet for a bamboo floor is entirely your personal choice, but here are a few reasons that may help you to decide:
- Bamboo flooring is very durable and hard-wearing, much more so than a carpet. Carpets can easily get worn down and start to look tired. Bamboo can last a lifetime if cared for properly.
- Carpets harbor dust, dirt particles and pet hairs, compared to bamboo which is far more hygienic. Even a heavy-duty vacuum cleaner will struggle to properly clean a carpet. All that you need to do with bamboo flooring is sweep away any visible dirt or dust, then clean with a wood flooring cleaning solution.
- Bamboo can be used in most rooms in your home. The only rooms or areas to avoid would be bathrooms as it is not waterproof, but then neither is carpet.
- With bamboo flooring you are getting a natural product using sustainable resources. Carpets are usually made from synthetic materials.
Reasons not to change
If you want a soft, comfortable floor then you may want to stick to a carpet. Although bamboo flooring has many amazing benefits, it does not offer the luxurious, cushioned feel of a carpet. You could, of course, use a rug on top of your bamboo to create an area of your room that is more comfortable to sit on. Another reason is if you want a bright coloured, unusual colour of floor a carpet will offer you much more choice. Bamboo floor colours are limited, but their natural and elegant tones are likely to most decors.
