We are moving into a new house soon and we've always wanted bamboo floors. They are very hard (20% harder than the hardest hardwood flooring) and more water resistant...plus they are earth friendly since bamboo grows like a weed. But we've got a baby coming in a few weeks and I am curious to know if anyone has had any experience with the durability of bamboo in relation to kids (or dogs etc...). Any help would be much appreciated!
Also, how much a square foot was it to install???
Bamboo floors and a new baby?!?!?! My wife has always wanted bamboo floors but we wonder if it's "baby tough?"
I wonder if we'll get our money's worth out of the bamboo when we try to sell the house!!
Reply:We're having some installed next week. You can get it with a coating over it. It's still hardwood and can warp if you let animals urinate on it repeatedly, etc., but it's supposed to be really good at wear and tear. Our's has a 30 year warranty. My husband says it's about $8/sq ft, but I swear I think it cost more than that.
Use rugs. That will help the wear %26amp; tear.
Reply:I would rather have a child on hardwood floors than carpet...The nastiest stuff lives in carpet.I think you will be fine.
