This certification ensures that the bamboo: is harvested from well-managed forests, has not been clear cut, is grown without toxic pesticides, the manufacturer pays fair wages, supports the social, and economic wellbeing of the farmers and communities, utilizes forestry practices that have the least impact on the environment and ensures long term maintenance and growth of eco-systems and habitats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBuying products that are FSC certified not only supports the forests, local farmers, and local habitats for birds and animals but also reduces pesticides and soil erosion, increases biodiversity and water quality.

It is then compressed under heat and pressure to create a super-dense floor that is 2-3X the hardness of oak. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Janka scale is a trusted measure of hardness and Green Building Bamboo has a Janka rating \u0026gt; 4000-5000 compared to maple 1,450 or oak 1,360. Higher scores mean more resistance to wear and tear and will not be permanently damaged by pet claws. Strand bamboo is also highly water-resistant for up to 30 hours. In fact, it is so dent and moisture resistant that it comes with a 50 year structural and finish warranty that ensures your flooring will last for generations. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/1011\/9709\/collections\/Collection-GBS-Logo-1180x306_4f118e32-79b3-4584-a47b-347eb53aa574.jpg?v=1743711430","url":"https:\/\/marmoleum.greenbuildingsupply.com\/fr\/collections\/gbs-bamboo-flooring.oembed","provider":"Green Building Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
