DIY Bamboo Projects

The trees that are harvested to create real wood products often take decades to reach the maturity level necessary for them to be harvested. Because of this, wood is slowly becoming a depleted resource. This grass, on the other, hand is plentiful now and can reach full maturity in as little as four years, making it a more sustainable natural resource. Environmentally friendly people are encouraged to double check with the manufacturer that they are purchasing their products from to make sure that the grass was harvested in an earth friendly way.

No Damage from Moisture

Wood often absorbs moisture and water, causing it to swell and lose its original shape. This wood alternative doesn't absorb moisture the same way that wood does, making bamboo an exceptional choice for bathroom remodeling projects, particularly if the members of the family enjoy extremely hot showers. Homeowners will not be concerned with their bamboo bathroom cabinets becoming warped as time goes on. Instead, they can enjoy a room that will have the same visual appear years later as it did the day their products were first assembled.

Durable

Most people seem to be under the impression that it will not be as durable as wood because it is technically a grass, but it is the exact opposite. This material has proven to be more durable than wood in most cases. It can withstand a little bit of abuse, hold more weight than the sturdiest wood shelves in some cases, and, so far, it lasts longer. This alternative to wood has the potential to outlast much of the furniture in your home today while retaining its beauty.

Affordable

Because this resource is still plentiful in the world, the recent surge in demand for this natural resource has not resulted in an increase in prices. Instead, the price range for this material is still affordable for families with a variety of incomes. After bamboo bathroom cabinets are installed, they stay affordable for homeowners. No special chemicals or maintenance is required to keep your home looking beautiful aside from oiling the material and occasionally cleaning them with warm soap and water.

Different Colors and Styles

Bamboo can be manipulated into a variety of styles and can be stained in a fashion like wood, making this new building material as versatile as wood when it comes to redecorating. Homeowners should stain this material with caution, however. It does not work the same way with wood, so some practice on a small, inconspicuous piece of your shelves is a good idea.

Remodeling projects can go one of two ways: they can result in your home becoming less than appealing or you can wind up with a home that requires less maintenance and has more visual appeal. Bathroom cabinets made of this material help you do the latter, providing you with a unique design that will impress your guests that requires little to no maintenance on your part. Take the time to research this earth friendly option to discover all the other benefits that come with these uniquely designed additions to your home.
