1) Skirtings – Bamboo Flooring and carpet. Bamboo laid over concrete will not be too big a difference in height. If you opt for a really good grade underlay under the carpet. This will raise the height of your carpet slightly. And help your carpet to last longer!! Do not install your skirting at different levels……very unsightly. 2) The installer of the Bamboo flooring should know to give it enough room for expansion and contraction which should eliminate any cracking…… by the way I haven’t heard of this before. 3) There is a Bamboo noising which will be used to go over the carpet and Bamboo floor which will cover the joins of the two flooring nicely, there is no problem there. Different floorings are done all the time, don’t worry it will work out for you. It’s no secret on this forum that I LOVE the bamboo flooring….. It’s a really strong product. Go to your preferred flooring store…..choose your carpet with the upgraded underlay. Choose your Bamboo flooring; lay them out at the store next to each other. Carpet on underlay and see what the difference is in height, then take it from there, and see what they have to say. They will show you the Bamboo join that they will use for the two floorings as well. Hope this helps!!
