Bamboo flooring is great in many ways – it’s a more affordable and durable alternative to timber flooring. It’s harder to scratch on the surface, is stronger as a floorboard and has the elegant natural look of bamboo. The main drawback of bamboo flooring is that it doesn’t go well with water – so you must be careful in high moisture areas of the home!

No, like many other floorboards, bamboo flooring is not waterproof. Many bamboo floors have some level of water-resistance because they have a wax seal, helping keep water out. However, care must be taken to wipe up spills immediately.

Floating floors are flooring that can be installed on top of a subfloor without nails or glue. This makes floating timber floors suitable for apartments and units and reduces the time and cost of installation. Bamboo flooring is a floating floor and a way of getting natural  flooring into your apartment.

In Australia, bamboo flooring supply-only tends to be between $45 – $60 /sqm. Installation tends to float between $20 – $35 /sqm. This makes the price of bamboo flooring lower than most solid timber and engineered flooring, but more expensive than laminate or hybrid flooring.
