Bambo flooring (bathroom)

[joe.natcho]

I'm thinking of laying bambo flooring in the bathroom?????

I have read that Bambo might be a bit of a nightmare in wet conditions. Is this true.

Any advice would be great?

If this is a rubbish Idea, I will go for Cork tiles..

I have no experience of bamboo flooring but I don't think it's generally recommended for bathrooms. However, before you opt for cork, have a look at this: http://www.realoakfloors.co.uk/waterproof_laminate_flooring_aquafloor.php

I have bamboo in my bathroom and it is fine, I was told that as it is a "grass" as opposed to wood, it is much more tolerant of any moisture.

confused2, can I correct you slightly on that. Bamboo is a grass indeed, but that's not the real reason it's more tolerant to moist. Grass contains fibres too that expand with moist. It's the way the bamboo flooring is constructed - various small layers horizontal or vertical - that makes it more stable in moist areas (like Wood-Engineered boards)
