Where do you get the bamboo from?
Mostly China, some from Vietnam
If outside the US, why isn't it grown locally?
Bamboo grows in US. There aren’t any US manufacturers of bamboo flooring

What are the pros of using bamboo flooring? Any negatives?
Rapidly renewable resource, sequesters carbon, no clearcutting of tree forests, FSC certified, E-0 compliant, CARB 1&2 complaint

How much does the bamboo flooring cost?
Varies

Do you sell mainly locally or around the US?
Both

What is the expected life of bamboo flooring?
25 years

Is there a coating put on bamboo flooring?  If so, what is it and is it toxic?
Yes, you would finish flooring. E-0 compliant, no offgassing, CARB 1&2 compliant.

Do you make the flooring or is it done elsewhere then brought to you?
We make it

How is the bamboo flooring made?
Didn't answer

Would I be able to get samples?
Didn't answer

I feel like these companies just don't want to give the time to help me.  I want them to answer these answers indepth, but they don't seem to really even care.  This can be seen in the way that Kevin didn't even answere two of my questions.
