Bamboo Flooring - Tim from Somerville

Question

I am looking at putting new flooring through some rooms in my house that i am renovating at the moment. I would like timber but i have heard about Bamboo Flooring? Could you tell me a little bit about this product as i did not even know it existed.

Answer

Tim, Bamboo Timber flooring is fast becoming more & more popular for many reasons. Because Bamboo is a fast growing material, the forests it is sourced from are environmentally sustainable. It is a hard wearing product, durable, is very versatile (it can be used inside, externally and even on benchtops). It is termite resistant and is competitievly priced.
