Thanks for a fair assessment of the pros and cons of bamboo flooring. Each step of manufacturing matters, from the proper time to harvest, to using "green" processes to make the planks, to the installation. People are finding problems with the lower quality products, but can enjoy high quality flooring for years to come - and save trees in the process. The key is researching up front. .-= MrBambooFlooring´s last blog ..Mr Bamboo =-.

Thanks for that info Trisha, We were going to get bamboo flooring and I heard nothing but good things about it. Thanks for the info though.

You said it looks like its more worn with more traffic? That’s not a good thing since they say its often harder then maple?

We've installed bamboo in one of our model homes. Keeping in mind that it does get more foot traffic than the average home, it seems like we are cleaning that floor constantly! It gets dusty and shows more wear than the traditional hardwood or laminates we've installed in other homes. Probably a small price to pay to be Green but still a consideration for the neat freaks of the world! Trisha Emish’s last blog post..My new Green Home

Thanks so much for the info! We have been considering bamboo for a beach house remodel, being told it would hold up better than hardwood: salt/sand/wet feet, etc, but am reminded yet again to investigate in greater depth before making such a committment & purchase. I appreciate finding your info, research & comments just before placing the order. If we go with it, I’ll be sure to chime back in on how it works out. Thanks!

I enjoy your site…fun, friendly, inFormative, factual &….. fabulous!

They are gorgeous. It’s a shame some manufacturers are “cheaping out” on them and giving them a bad name.

Bamboo Floors are gorgeous! Some of them are very elegant.

Never heard anything bad about them, but I haven’t “kept track” of the few I’ve seen installed. lol
