Recommendations for bamboo flooring and ceramic tiles

Page 1 of 1
Hi Everyone!

My partner and i will start the search for bamboo flooring (upstairs) and a greyish ceramic tile (downstairs). Do you have any recommendations in Western Sydney preferably?

What have your experiences been with either? Anything to look out for?

Thanks!
Hi, I'm in the same boat, finalizing flooring.

We're switching up between bamboo or laminate for upstairs. From all the sales reps we've talked to

Bamboo:
+ Feels nicer, natural product
+ Hard
- Moves based on weather

If going bamboo, make sure its a good company (quickstep) and the installers provide good aftermarket support (willing to fix any cupping, warping) after installation and are experienced in laying the product.

Laminate:
+ Stable
+ Cheap
+ More hardwearing
- Doesn't look/feel as nice

We have decided to go with laminate just because we don't want the floor cupping/warming under extreme weather. The villeroy and boch really appealed to me, so probably going with that.
