There is another product you can use around the island bench instead of beading. The salesperson from Don's Tiles at Bella Vista showed us, but I forget what it is called. It looked a lot better, more streamlined. He even had a picture on his phone to show us. It was only a couple of hundred dollars extra for a better finish.
We are looking at the laminate timber because we have an inside dog that will just scratch the hell out of bamboo. We have the Santorini tiles in our tender, but would love to get a credit back and change to this high quality laminate. We are presently waiting on contracts and I was going to bring this up at our colour appointment.
I hope I haven't left it too late

I'd just ask now... By memory, we could have the bamboo flooring or laminate (though that may have been a different builder we were talking to)... Thanks for the heads up on the better product instead of beading. I definitely will be looking into that Have you had the contract signing yet?
