Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering 1 Oct 18, 2014 8:35 pm Hi there, We are about to pull the trigger on Bamboo flooring. However, seeking some input on others that have it in regards to expansion joints (not around the walls covered by skirting), but the need for 6-8mm every 6 meters, ie: in the main living areas. Having been to many flooring places, this issue hasn't been brought up and it was just in research that I have seen the recommendation for it? Has anyone gone down this path and had any photos on how their expansion gaps/joints looked in the middle of a living area? Re: Bamboo Expansion Issues 2Oct 20, 2014 4:52 pm We have bamboo down now - just over 110sqm - for just over 2 years. We have no expansion joints as you have said and have no issues of any kind with the flooring. Just ensure you buy from a reputable supplier.
