Bamboo countertops have recently gained popularity due to their eco-friendly and sustainable nature as compared to traditional materials. Bamboo is highly regenerative.
These trees mature in about four months and reach full maturity in about three to five years. This is much shorter than their hardwood counterparts which take decades to mature.
Along with being eco-friendly, these countertops also provide a unique look due to their grain pattern. However, the style options are limited to the natural look of bamboo.
Bamboo countertops are also more affordable. For 50 square feet, marble can cost between $2,000 and $5,000, while bamboo can cost between $1,500 and $4,000.
Doing the installation yourself can also help cut down overall costs. With proper maintenance, you can sustain bamboo countertops for many years or even a lifetime.
