Its moisture content can fluctuate significantly with the dry air, potentially leading to expansion or contraction. When selecting bamboo, look for strand-woven varieties, which generally offer greater stability. Understanding the specific environmental conditions of your St. George home is crucial for its long-term durability. We can help assess if bamboo aligns with your needs.
