Scratches in Bamboo flooring

We have some scratches in our bamboo floors courtesy of my dog. Is there any way I can help disguise them and fix them up a bit.

Thanks

If they are only small white scratches which will just be the polish try some furniture polish they will help hide them good luck.

You can sand the scratched bamboo floor and the neighboring bamboo floor planks to disguise it. Unlike laminate flooring, there is bamboo after the flooring surface is damaged.

Hi, I was wondering how you find the bamboo flooring. We are tossing up whether to go with bamboo flooring and the quick step laminate flooring. Whilst the laminate flooring is within our budget, I dont want to regret our decision. Are there different quality bamboo flooring products around? IF so can anyone recommend a good one?

Cheers and thanks

hello

Most of the time when you scratches a bamboo floor its usually the surface coat you are scratching and comes up in a white colour. What you can do is use a marker pen that is the nearest colour simply colour the scratch and then lick your finger and rub it in.

Problem solved

KT we have chosen to go with Quickstep laminate too, and from what we have read it's pretty much equal in terms of durability and hardness to the bamboo. The drawback is that you can't strip, sand and refinish if you get major cracks - you can, however, replace a board.

Search these forums for keyword Quickstep - there are people who have had dogs, kids and stilettos with it and no problems.It's spoken very highly of.

If it is strand or natural bamboo flooring, you could go ahead and refinish them. Consult with your expert and apply a good finishing coat over your bamboo flooring which protects in from further scratches

any bamboo flooring shouldnt be sanded again, only recoating is allowed as the surface will be as raw as sandpaper after sanded.
