Does anyone have experience with bamboo flooring? Are there any negatives?

It is very dense and so good for bathrooms and looks beautiful with white suites. Just be careful in a bathroom, it need installing prior to fittings and the high gloss surface could be scratched by plumbers, tilers etc. It doesn't shrink like some woods.

what kind of music/arts school is it? Obviously as you will presumably have people coming in it's important that you avoid any trip hazards so this must be a nightmare for you!.. The only solution that i can think of, other than biting the bullet and sorting the floor out, would be to use the straight lines you have - the walls. I would get tables that can fold out from the walls (not sure how to describe them but they are attached to the wall with a hinge and fold out and legs fold out onto the floor but the main support comes from the wall) and then for seating go with firm bean bags with the leathery type fabric that you can wipe down easily. To lighten up the space, large mirrors will reflect the light coming in from the window, some spot lights in the ceiling or floor might be a good idea. Matthew Decorator's idea of lino is very good - my mum had an uneven floor in her kitchen and the builder simply plastered over the floor to make it level and then put lino down on top of her existing tiles which would have been costly to take up. I hope it goes well for you!

We come in at the end of the project with exciting stylish chairs which can be supplied in 56 colours so you can link in the chair colours with other components in the room - Blinds, curtains, painted walls or a splash back (It is possible to get Glass splashbacks in virtually any colour. We can lend a sample card to be given to the splash back makers so that they colour the splashback to match exactly with the chairs.) I attach a photo showing some Doris P Chairs in Red Leather, complete with a dining table. The Next photo shows the bar stools with matching splashback in red, which was part of the same project. I know that you do not have barstools, but I am just demonstrating the idea. The dining table was made up using heavy weighted bases in a brushed stainless steel finish and a table top which matches the kitchen work tops. This is a picture of the 30 colours available in the Eco Leather range. We have another 26 colours in the Real Leather range so you have a huge selection to choose from. We have an App which allows you to make up different chairs, change the bases (chair legs) and change the upholstery colours. Then you can see the finished effect. Please copy and paste this link into your browser to see our App. http://www.seatingmyway.com/app/chairs. I would be happy to discuss your project in more detail if you are interested.

I can empathise with you as I feel the cold and in the end it comes down to your personal choice but if I were you I would continue the same flooring into the study for continuity and then treat myself to a large luxurious rug for warmth.

Hi Teeps, I'm no acoustician, but I would suspect that the difference in impact sound rating between engineered wood and bamboo sheet would be very small. Lots of diy store have acoustic layers for under timber flooring, but they aren't hugely effective - although they do help! The more acoustic 'padding' you install, the greater the change in your floor level, but the greater the improvement in sound separation. When we did it we used a product called Monarfloor deck 9 which was 17mm thick under our wood floor - but our managing agents were a total nightmare, so we had to do a very thorough (and rather costly) job! It depends on your floor substrate, but lots lots of options out there! Good luck :)
