How does bamboo flooring compete with other types of flooring i.t.o. durability, colour and cost?
Durability: very durable, similar to other solid wood floors, can last a few lifetimes if well maintained. Bamboo floors can be sanded and resealed if required. Colour: Typically it is available in two standard colours; natural – a “Pine yellow” & carbonised – a coffee colour. However bamboo stains very evenly, so bamboo is available in any colour that it can be stained. I even seen red stained bamboo flooring. Cost: Installed, typically solid Bamboo flooring sits at the bottom end of the Hard wood floor pricing range. There are certain product lines that compete well against the higher quality laminate floor products. You can expect a range from R 380 – R 650 per sqm installed. We encourage you compare that to other solid wood floor installed prices.
