Ask Angie: Bamboo flooring

Floor Covering Media found an article, published in the Kansas City Star, about the durability of carbonized, Bamboo Flooring. This article, written by Angie Hicks, informs Diane P. from Cheyenne Wyoming that flooring hardness is measured on the Janka Scale. Strand woven bamboo in which the fibers are woven together with a resin is rated the hardest of the bamboo products on the Janka Scale with a rating of about 3,000, whereas solid and engineered bamboo checks in at around 1,600. Carbonized bamboo is very popular because of its rich, amber color. However, the heating process to achieve that carbonized look does soften the bamboo some industry experts say by as much as 30 percent leaving it more susceptible to scratching, according to the article. More at the Kansas City Star.

Sincerely,

Most media planners aren't unlikely to consider Floor Covering Media for the schedule particularly with flooring clients. It is a natural fit or would seem so.

During the course of the media plan, it isn't incredibly uncommon for the media planners to request specific pages. The Flooring Briefs page is one of the most commonly requested pages.

It's appealing to seasoned media planners. It's not a challenge to present even as an experiment to the client. There are a diversity of headlines over time each of which appeals to a broad range of interests within this niche industry. It is also affordably priced not to break the bank.
