Bamboo Flooring

Bamboo flooring is extremely hard and dense. Termites happen to hate bamboo because it contains indigestible fibres. In addition, bamboo offers a little more water-resistance than other natural flooring solutions. Due to its strand woven construction type, bamboo never has short boards when it is manufactured. Every single board is the advertised length of the product.

One major downside is that it scratches quite easily. The aluminum oxide in the coating makes it a harder coating than what it usually in timber floors, but when this does scratch, it scratches 'white' and can be clearly visible on darker colours. Additionally, it will grow and shrink more than other flooring types once it acclimatises to its environment. Therefore, proper acclimatisation is key prior to installation.

Ultimately, bamboo is a great option for anyone looking for a cost-effective, durable, long-lasting, environmentally friendly, and amazing looking natural option. As a natural, renewable resource, bamboo is a way for you to choose responsibly-harvested flooring.

Bamboo can be used for bedrooms, dining rooms, living rooms, and other gathering spaces. Bamboo is slightly more resistant to water than other varieties of flooring, but be careful in areas of extreme humidity. We do not recommend bamboo as your go-to flooring for bathrooms, kitchens, or laundries.

Yes, bamboo flooring is considered an environmentally friendly option due to the rapid growth and renewability of bamboo plants. Bamboo reaches maturity much faster than hardwood trees, making it a sustainable choice for flooring. Additionally, many bamboo flooring products are manufactured using eco-friendly processes and adhesives, further reducing their environmental impact.

Whether or not your bamboo flooring requires underlayment depends on the method of installation. If you glue down directly to the subfloor, you will not need underlayment. If you plan to nail down the planks or install them as floating floors, you should consider choosing a high-quality underlayment. Underlayment can provide extra moisture protection, noise reduction, and stability.

Yes, depending on the thickness of the wear layer, bamboo flooring can typically be refinished once or twice during its lifespan. It's essential to consult with a professional to assess the condition of the flooring and determine the best course of action for refinishing.

Bamboo flooring is relatively low-maintenance compared to some other flooring options. Regular sweeping or vacuuming, along with occasional damp mopping using a mild cleaner, is usually sufficient to keep bamboo floors clean and well-maintained. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, as these can damage the flooring.

With its high rating on the Janka hardness scale, bamboo flooring can last for years without needing to be replaced due to its highly resistant qualities. Many bamboo floor brands offer 25-year warranties to guarantee their performance. Plus, bamboo can easily be refinished to return them to their earlier glory.
