Bamboo is scratch resistant not scratch proof. Nothing is. It can be refinished if you choose a colour that is not died or top coloured. You need a true colour Bamboo and yes, you can sand back a few times, carefully. No steam mops on either laminate or bamboo...that is very important! It is said that if you live close to the water, or high humidity the bamboo (MAY) swell. This is why it is very important to leave the 10mm gap around the perimeter of each area. IF in extremely high humidity....lay vinyl.
The laminate we are looking at is Pergo Living Expression (From Carpet Court). We haven't seen this brand anywhere else in SA. Is it exclusive to CC or have you any experience with it as compared to the Quick Step Impressive Ultra range?
I'm not familiar with this brand....unless its the new one from Shelly Craft. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet.
I hope this has helped.
