FAQ

My husband and I are building our first home and decided to get bamboo flooring. I figured since they make cutting boards out of bamboo, then bamboo floors would be an awesome idea. Now some people are telling me that bamboo dents/scratches easily and also stains easily. Anyone have any experience with bamboo? Ps. we have a dog that loves to run and play- are our floors doomed?
The problem with bamboo is that there are so many cheap versions of it out there. There are some brands that are well made out of good hard material and have about 7-8 coats of acrylic aluminum oxide enhanced poly on them. The cheaper stuff is made from much softer bamboo and has maybe two or three coats of a cheap poly on it. A decent bamboo generally runs from $6-$8 a square foot. Check out Bamtex for a decent one. What you really want is OLD GROWTH bamboo, the newer growth bamboo is the softer stuff and is no good. it will be shot in a year. Teregren has a good product. They actually grow them and harvest instead of plucking from the wild. If you want a real hard bamboo, check out their Synergy line.
