Bamboo flooring vs Cork flooring

Cork flooring

Cork floors were once considered old-fashioned, but now they are undergoing a renaissance. Please note Bamboozle do not sell cork flooring and offer this information for comparison purposes only. Cool in winter and warm in summer, it is relatively hard-wearing, and spills wipe up easily. Good sound absorption is a key feature. Supplied in tile form usually, there is a choice of gloss or satin polyurethane finish available, applied after the floor has been laid. Care must be taken in the application to ensure that staining due to spills is not a problem. Cork floors are suitable for high traffic and wet areas, but it may be difficult to match and replace a damaged area without the need to re-surface the whole floor.

bamboo FLOORING

Bamboozle have had many years of supplying and installing quality bamboo floors to the new home and renovation market, either conventional bamboo grain or “Bamwood” – a bamboo flooring that’s over 70% harder than jarrah, and gives the look and feel of conventional timber flooring. Bamboo flooring today is mostly supplied pre-finished and stuck direct onto concrete. Furniture can be moved back after only several hours, reducing disruption for renovators. Bamboo flooring has all the attributes of quality timber flooring – a warm look and feel to suit the most discerning of owners, and a look that can be improved after many years of service, if necessary, by sanding & polishing to give a traditional finish. As far as health and cleanliness is concerned, bamboo flooring scores high marks. Pets are disinclined to mess a hard floor, but it can be easily cleaned, however pets can find bamboo floors a bit slippy when rushing about! Bamwood flooring is scratch resistant and easy to clean. Many owners opt to use Enjo microfibre mops or a steam mop occasionally. The tight fixing method also means that an accidental spillage of red wine is readily cleaned up leaving no evidence!
