Green Living Bamboo Countertops
The idea of green living is making more and more sense. Choosing bamboo countertops is another step towards it, together with bamboo floors. This countertops are not harder to install then the other types, same as bamboo floor installation is similar with hardwood installation.
While granite or quartz countertops are really beautiful and solid, the bamboo ones are also hard, durable and bringing a warm feeling into your kitchen. Uniquely renewable source, bamboo is used in many areas; now is becoming more popular for countertops.
Facts:
- Naturally resistant to bacteria, it is ideal for the kitchen
- Can be finished with natural mineral oil, beeswax or linseed oil, for protection and easier cleaning
- When made from a mature plant(over 5 years old when harvested), the countertop is much harder then wood (maple or oak)
- You have a variety of colors to choose from, starting from a light, natural look, to a darker, more dramatic shade
Find Out If This Type Of Countertop Is Good For You:
- The price is higher then the price for the basic laminate countertops. Of course, it is much cheaper if you compare with the price of a granite countertop
- Prepare to protect the countertops from heat (although I wouldn’t put a hot pan on a granite countertop either)
- Avoid cutting cut directly on the counter
- You need to do some maintenance work occasionally, besides cleaning with warm water and a mild soap; apply oils, same as for any other wood countertop
This type of countertops can be a great option for anyone who is interested to find an eco friendly solution. Extremely renewable, it is a better choice than using wood.

Jolanta Friedman Strata Agent Ascent Property Management (Now: Aedis Property Management)
"Like most people who live in old houses, we are repeatedly repairing, renovating and house remodeling ... Although we have used several contractors in the past, Marek Witecki is by far the best! We have for many years entrusted all of our renovation work to him (and his company). Marek’s work is first rate, and it is a pleasure to work with him because he is completely fair, honest, hard-working, reliable and respectful of our needs and time lines. He and his crew at The Best Western Contracting Ltd. have worked on all parts of our house, and many projects of house remodeling. He rebuilt our large deck, renovated our dining room, completely redesigned and rebuilt our master bedroom, replaced two bathrooms, built a basement laundry room/workshop and created a new entryway into our basement from the back yard. We appreciate the way he understands what we want and brings our ideas to reality. He also offers very useful and inventive ideas that we ourselves have not considered. For example, his suggestion to remove a wall in our master bedroom suite created an open, airy space that is not only a great pleasure to be in, but is also more functional than we could have imagined. Marek has a thorough knowledge of current products and construction methods. He has high standards and his workmanship is excellent. We have always found his cost estimates to be realistic, and he works hard to finish jobs within an agreed upon time schedule. Marek has always exceeded our expectations, and we can recommend him to prospective clients without reservation!"
