Bamboo Flooring FAQs
Q: Is bamboo flooring water resistant?
A: While bamboo flooring has better moisture resistance than traditional hardwood, it's not waterproof. Strand woven bamboo offers the highest moisture resistance among bamboo flooring types. We recommend using proper installation techniques, including moisture barriers in damp areas, and immediately wiping up spills to maintain your bamboo floors.
Q: How does bamboo flooring compare to hardwood in terms of durability?
A: High-quality bamboo flooring can be more durable than many hardwoods. Strand woven bamboo has a Janka hardness rating over 3000, making it harder than oak (1360) and maple (1450). The hardness varies by type: natural vertical grain bamboo (1680), horizontal grain (1380 carbonized), with strand woven being the most durable option for high-traffic areas.
Installation Options
Our bamboo flooring offers multiple installation methods to suit different needs:
- Glue-down: Best for concrete subfloors
- Floating: Easy click-lock system with underlayment
- Nail-down: Traditional method for wood subfloors
Bamboo Flooring Care Guide
Q: How do I clean and maintain my bamboo floors?
A: For daily cleaning, use a microfiber mop slightly dampened with water or a bamboo-specific cleaner. Avoid excessive water, steam cleaners, or harsh chemicals. Place protective pads under furniture legs and use area rugs in high-traffic zones. Recoating may be needed every 5-7 years depending on wear. Keep indoor humidity between 40-60% to prevent shrinking or expanding.

Bamboo Flooring Selection Tips
Q: What type of bamboo flooring is best for my home?
A: The best bamboo flooring depends on your needs: horizontal grain offers a classic bamboo look at a lower price point, vertical grain provides a more traditional wood appearance with better hardness, while strand woven is ideal for high-traffic areas or commercial use due to its extreme durability. Consider your household traffic, moisture levels, and desired aesthetics when choosing. We recommend strand woven for kitchens and entryways, vertical grain for living areas, and horizontal grain for bedrooms.
