 Bamtex
Bamtex® continues to innovate the utilization of bamboo with its increasingly
popular flooring products..
Alternatives to timber as a construction material are being promoted to
reduce dependence on hardwoods. With its physical characteristics and ability
to regenerate rapidly, bamboo is one of the best means to replace hardwoods
while providing similar properties and attractiveness.

Environmental friendly bamboo, which is a grass, grows rapidly. While
there are more than 1,000 varieties of bamboo, we use only Mao bamboo because
of its color, structure, density and strength. This species allows us to
use only the finest quality bamboo for our flooring products.
Bamtex® bamboo products are in demand by customers because of their
unique, simple elegance, as well as, their special grain and color.
Bamboo has been utilized in commercial and sport environments as flooring,
paneling, display fixtures and applied as veneer on walls, furniture,
cabinets and doors. Bamboo is gaining acceptance and growing at a
rapid rate within the U.S.
The Chinese have been using bamboo for over 4,000 years. China is the largest
producer of bamboo products in the world. Bamboo grows mainly in South China
and covers areas in excess of 2,000,000 square miles. Historically, bamboo
has been used primarily for daily accessories, such as, chopsticks, cups,
tables and chairs. More recently, bamboo’s many attributes have gained
attention and allowed it to be used in a variety of construction applications
as an alternative building material. Bamtex® has worked with its suppliers
to more fully develop its flooring markets throughout the world. Today Bamtex®
markets its products in the North American and European territories and
intends to expand into the Middle East shortly.
