Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Nov 14, 2013 1:34 pm Hi, Is laying Bamboo flooring near bathrooms a recipe for disaster? My bathroom and laundry run off my hallway and my builder said it would be fine to lay Bamboo up to them. My kids have a habit of leaving the bath/shower with wet feet into their bedrooms. I thought bamboo was vulnerable to moisture.

Also the kitchen is done in it as well... he has 3 young step-grandkids that stay with them a lot and they are always tracking water in from the pool, after baths etc... no warping or buckling so far! We love how his has turned out so much that we are doing bamboo as well... He has ARC Champagne and we are going ARC Australiana.

Absolutely love the look and feel though Good choice I think. Our standard double-glazed window is tested to achieve, Rw 34, and can be glazed to suit Rw 39. The price is good too... 3 9479 All sorted guys. Just needed to buy a blade with the correct bush. Dunno how to delete this post, can't find any help file.
