Hey guys, going on from 'all the sands' topic of timber floors I thought I would ask this question.
We are considering Bamboo this build after previously using....
Silver stringybark and Grey Ironbark..... 1 in matt and 1 in high gloss but both sand and seal.
This time we are considering pre-finished boards.
Pros are....yay they can be laid and used in the same day.
Cons...their are ridges for bits of sand and grit to get caught in and over time become darker and darker lines.
Or we can get them sanded and sealed.
Pros..a perfectly beautiful finish and just what I am used to. Cons....have to wait a week for wood to aclimatise in the house almost a week for laying and then almost the same for sealing and waiting to be able to walk on them......oh and it costs more......Maybe I have answered my own question.
What are your thoughts?
Here are the floors we are considering.
