Bamboo as an option for home flooring has become trendy and an environmentally smart option. Many people would like to bring the exotic look of the orient into their office but can't remodel the entire office for reasons that are beyond their control. This is where bamboo floor mats can be beneficial.

Bamboo mats are created using the same strong, durable, beautiful bamboo that bamboo floors are made of but they are portable and come in a variety of sizes. These mats can be found in sizes small enough to use in doorways or large enough to use as area rugs. The size choice depends on the office the mat is being used in and how much bamboo is desired in the office.

Bamboo mats for use under the desk or as chair mats should have an added layer of laminate or acrylic coating to protect the wood from being scuffed by the wheels of the chair. Without this coating the chair could cause indentations in the wood. With a coating, the chair will easily glide across the mat and the wood will not be damaged.

These mats are also available in a variety of colors. In addition to the natural blond bamboo color there are many shades that manufacturers create using stains and dyes. This allows the decorator to choose the perfect matching color and still have a bamboo floor mat in the office.

Adding a bamboo flooring mat to the office shows co-workers and business associates that the environment and protecting its resources is as important at work as it is at home. The same green properties that make bamboo flooring an ideal choice make bamboo floor mats an ideal choice as well.

It's an eco-friendly choice, too. Bamboo is a sustainable grass that saves hundreds of trees from being harvested and used for flooring and mats. Saving the trees is one step toward saving the climate, the environment and the land on which the trees grow.

Bamboo mats are unique, exotic mats that will enhance any workspace. From small entryways to large conference rooms, they fit any office dcor.
