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.

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.

"Need help with bamboo and underfloor heating!"
Q

Hi, We chose a lovely glossy natural bamboo flooring but now we have been told that as it is not engineered the underfloor heating we want to put (electrical) will cause "gapping" on it. Can you please share your knowledge, experience or advice and let me know how bad is the gapping and if it will be caused with electrical underfloor heating which is softer than the water system. many thanks, Edurne

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.

Advice regarding bamboo flooring type

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 :)
