WHO WE ARE
Bamboo Flooring Hawaii is an S Corporation, specializing in the sales
and distribution of bamboo flooring material. Mark D. Elwell, owner operator of
Bamboo Flooring Hawaii, has been a successful importer for over 20 years. During
his travels to the far corners of Asia, he has imported many different products.
Bamboo flooring is by far the most impressive and exciting product Mark has
found yet. Grown in various regions of Asia, the durable bamboo trees are
capable of complete regeneration within 3 to 5 years - without the need to
replant. Its beauty and durability makes bamboo a worthy flooring alternative.
BF Hawaii also has the talents of Andrea Sikkink, Director Of Operations, who
has been with BFH since 2005. Her varied work background includes sales,
teaching and art. She enjoys the many, varied aspects of her job.

WHERE DOES OUR

WHAT IS BAMBOO?
So what is bamboo? A variety of grass, bamboo is nature's substitute for the
beautiful yet endangered rain forest hardwoods. Bamboo is much easier to produce
and equally versatile.
Producing four to five times more bio-mass than the trees felled for wood
production, bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world and in enormous variety.
In both the tropics and sub-tropics, it achieves great height and thickness in a
very short time.
The mother plant produces new shoots every year with stems maturing sufficiently
hard for harvesting within four or five years, compared to oak, cherry, maple
and exquisite rain forest hardwoods that in some cases take 100 or more years to
grow to maturity.
HARDNESS AND DURABILITY
Bamboo flooring is constructed by laminating three layers of bamboo-veneer,
glued together under high pressure. Bamboo is extremely easy to handle as any
other
flooring material. It is versatile, durable and appreciably harder than even the
majority of oak floors.
Bamboo does not shrink and swell as much as most hardwoods used in flooring,
thereby making it a very stable flooring product.
WHY CHOOSE BAMBOO?
A Bamboo floor can withstand a great deal more than your average hardwood floor.
In addition to being attractive, extra-hard and easy to install, it also
represents a considerable ecological savings. Bamboo is manufactured from a
natural resource that can be harvested and replenished both easily and safely in
a short period of time, and at no cost to the environment. Due to its rapid
regeneration properties and low environmental impact, bamboo is a responsible
choice for flooring material. Bamboo is pleasing to look at, stand on and walk
on, and has a natural decorative beauty.
