Beautiful Bamboo Kitchen Cabinets
Why bamboo kitchen cabinets ?
Bamboo kitchen cabinets are becoming an attractive alternative to the traditional hardwood choices such as Oak, Maple and Poplar. Now kitchen designers are expanding the uses of bamboo for floors, items and features all through the home.
Bamboo is considered one of the most environmentally friendly products globally. Since bamboo is actually a grass and not a wood, and is one of the fastest growing plants in the world, plantations can be harvested and replanted every 7 years. It is grown in many areas of the world and usually without pesticides and insecticides.
Bamboo is quite beautiful, and it has many other advantages as well over hardwood too.
Bamboo is considerably more durable than hardwood. In fact, bamboo is very tough with a hardness rating of 15% greater than Maple and 25% harder than Oak; earning it the nickname of 'green steel'.
This wood is available in several colors in its natural state, including yellow, light and dark green, black and gray. The most popular colors for bamboo kitchen cabinets are the natural blond color, or a darker amber.
Even though bamboo is a lightweight material, it contracts and expands less than almost all wood.
Using bamboo allows you to bring the beauty of the outdoor inside and create an exotic look in your kitchen.
Bamboo is versatile and can be stained to a wide range of finishes, so can be made to a wide range of kitchen styles and themes.
So for a great sophisticated and clean look to your kitchen, and the knowledge that you are doing your bit in being sustainable in your home, consider the warm, long-grained hues of bamboo. You'll be glad you did!
