I had set my mind on bamboo floors for my new build, (hardwearing, sustainable source and reasonably priced), however on googling I found a website that detailed all the problems experienced by users in the US. They were all so mad that they wanted to get together to bring a class action against somebody - the suppliers, the importers the manufacturers - anybody!
I realise our climate is different from California and Florida and maybe I would take more care - not drag furniture across the floors, use rugs and not wear shoes, but I am worried by their stories of gouges and scratches appearing in the first week of use. Dogs seemed to be a big problem causing damage to the surface and others said cupping was a problem. Does anyone have first hand experience of using bamboo in living areas please?
