Bamboo flooring, suggestions?

SBOB · Mar 02, 2009 7:14 pm

So, redoing our kitchen in the near future and have decided we like the look of the strandwoven bamboo flooring...

Anyway, has anyone had any experience with it, ease of install etc?(probably a glue down rather than floating install)

Also, lionking flooring has quite good pricing, but i havent found any reports from people who have used them....

Thanks for any tips

bamboo looks fantastic, however its a very soft material comparabe to most timber floorboards these days... you can get good bamboo but you'll be paying around the 180-200m2 mark. any cheaper and its not worth it in the long run

there is an alternative, theres a multistrip enginerred timber floorboad that looks very similar to bamboo. Try carpetcall

Strandwoven IS an engineered bamboo flooring and it one of the highest Janka (hardness) ratings of any flooring.

We opted for the natural coloured one.
