Compared with other materials, the price was very reasonable. And most importantly, as a rapidly renewable plant, bamboo flooring is better for the environment.Highly recommend Ambient.

Comment about Raw materials: There's obviously some impact on the environment when the bamboo is extracted. The hope is that because it is a rapidly renewable resource, we are causing less damage. Where bamboo is from China, difficult to determine standards used.
Comment about Raw materials: Not certain
Comment about Installation/Application: No issues - looks great
Comment about Quality/Durability: Quality - appears great. Durability - too early to tell. I've only had the flooring for a couple of weeks.
Comment about Toxicity: I've been told that the glue used recommended by Ambient is environmentally friendly.
Comment about Resource Recovery: Not certain.
Comment about Corporate Policies: Based on Ambient's website, it appears to be a high priority for them.
Comment about First Costs/Price: Well priced, looks great, and better for the environment
Comment about Lifecycle Costs: Not certain.
