Bamboo has been huge in flooring lately. Well, now there is a bamboo option for countertops.Can't imagine using wood on your kitchen counters? There's a company in North Hollywood, California, called Totally Bamboo that carries many bamboo products -- but they've also developed a bamboo counter application.
According to their site, "Ready for contractor installation, Totally Bamboo brand countertop sheets are constructed with cross-band laminates that we call Multilam(TM) (patent pending). In early testing, we discovered that this is the ideal way to glue bamboo. This method keeps the sheet both flat and true, as well as lessens the tendency to twist or warp."
The other great reason to use this for your next countertop, besides the fact that bamboo is a more renewable resource than wood -- it uses a Formaldehyde Free Adhesive. In 2004, the World Health Organization re-designated formaldehyde-based glue as a proven human carcinogen. The company has several styles and several sizes as well as a choice in thickness.
If you're going for a totally unique look for your countertops and kitchen islands, bamboo is an amazing choice to make your new kitchen the talk of the neighborhood.
And if you decide to order your bamboo countertop from the company, you'll need to find a countertop contractor to install it for you. ConstructionDeal.com has a full network of countertop contractors and we'll find someone in your area to install this beautiful and unique product!RELATED ARTICLES:
