Anyone have bamboo flooring from Cali Bamboo?

I absolutely love the look of bamboo flooring but have a 3 year old daughter and a dog. I have heard horror stories about bamboo not being as "tough as nails" as some companies advertise. Cali Bamboo (www.calibamboo.com) coats their's with 8 coats UV cured urethane including aluminum oxide. The organic has a Janka rating of 1350 and the fossilized has a rating of 3000. I love the look of the organic, but want it to hold up against kids and dogs. Anyone have any experience with Cali Bamboo and their flooring? The fencing products they carry are uncanny, but the sheer amout of negativity, and almost hostility I've encountered doing online research about the resiliance of bamboo flooring has me concerned. This would be installed in the living room and not prone to humidity, water, rot, excessive light, etc. Thanks!

I have sold flooring for 38 years..we currently have 700 sq ft of bamboo installed...we have 3 children and three dogs....best floor we have ever had...no maintenence...no scratches.


Look for "solid" and a glue-down application. do not let anyone "float this floor...or buy an engineered floor...SOLID GLUE-DOWN...trust me!
Reply:Check out strand woven bamboo floors. They are more durable than regular bamboo floors.
