Bamboo Flooring
While probably not the preferred material for Eichler or mid-century modern 'purists', Bamboo is an en vogue flooring material which has increased in popularity over the last few years because of its aesthetic appeal, reasonable cost and reputation as an eco-friendly, "green" alternative to hardwood floors. Some of the potential disadvantages of bamboo flooring include durability, compatability with in-floor radiant heat systems, and also fading over time (as illustrated below in the picture to the right). A few San Francisco Bay Area resources for general bamboo flooring information are Smith+ Fong Plyboo and EcoTimber.
