This design utilises the by-products that are usually unsuitable for premium grade flooring, thus making a top-grade timber and bamboo floor far more cost-effective, while also minimising waste. So not only is it using our resources more responsibly and sustainably, but it also creates a floorboard that is guaranteed to stay premium for a lifetime. In order to produce a floorboard that is stable we need to overcome the natural movement that occurs with some solid timber and bamboo flooring during their acclimatisation period. For this reason we use a patented core design to bring balance to inherent tensions. Our patented, stabilised flooring technology is designed specifically to keep the surface of the board perfectly level. This is how we’re able to offer an unprecedented lifetime warranty on all our boards. This is the next generation of flooring, exclusive to Bamboozle^®.

4. Totally sustainable

8. Moisture resistant

Why prefinished “Stabilised Solid” bamboo flooring

1. A timber or bamboo floor that is installed in days, not weeks

Traditional timber floors require acclimitisation that generally takes 2-6 weeks plus a sanding and coating process that takes another 1-2 weeks. This can be quite inconvenient to most home owners.

In new home situations, where the flooring is often the last trade to be completed, you can get into your new home sooner avoiding additional rental costs or bridging finance (or having to spend longer living with the mother-in-law!).

2. You can walk on your new floor the same day

If you are renovating your home, you do not need to move out and find short term accommodation. You also have the ability to move your furniture from one area back onto the completed section of flooring as the installation occurs. This makes it easier for you to manage your life around the installation process.

3. No dust associated with the sanding process

Despite of claims of being a dust-free process, the sanding and coating of timber and bamboo flooring will always create some dust.

4. No strong smells or solvents associated with the coating process

If you are concerned about the effects of strong chemicals or solvents in your home, then prefinished flooring would be the ideal solution for you.

5. Harder, more durable coating that is more resistant to scratching

By the coating our flooring in the factory we can use highly sophisticated technologies and world-leading coating systems which cannot be applied in the home.

6. No fine swirl marks or dust in the coating

As stated in the Australasian Timber Flooring Association (ATFA) guide to consumers, “a degree of contamination in the final coat is unavoidable” and “swirl marks are caused by rotary sanders and to some degree will be present in all floors”. Both of these issues are avoided by using Bamboozle’s prefinished timber & bamboo flooring.

7. Consistent gloss level and finish

When coating the floorboards in the factory we have complete control over the coating environment. This is not possible when coating in the home. This issue is recognised by the ATFA who state “differing conditions in the dwelling at the time of curing can result in gloss variation”. There can also be issues with “rejection” of the polish after coating. This can give an orange-peel effect and can occur in timbers that contain a high level of natural oils and resins, or if the timber has been contaminated with certain chemicals before coating.

8. Ability to grade the quality and colour of the flooring before installation to get a premium looking floor every time

It is very difficult to accurately grade the quality and colour of flooring before it is coated with polish. Often boards that look only slightly darker when laid become very obvious after the polish is applied. But by this stage it is too late to m ake any changes.

9. Better resistance to moisture and spills as the board is sealed on all surfaces, not just the top

By manufacturing and coating our floorboards in a factory environment, we can protect all surfaces with coating. This does two things: 1) maintains the equilibrium moisture content of the flooring which is specifically set for Perth conditions which minimises shrinkage or expansion in the home; 2) helps protect the floor from moisture ingress including spills.

10. Easier to replace individually damaged floorboards, no need to recoat the entire floor

In the event that one or more floorboards get damaged if you have a prefinished floor from Bamboozle we can easily replace those damaged boards. For a floor that has been coated in the home, these small repairs will require the whole floor to be sanded and recoated after the affected area is replaced. It is not possible to just coat a small repaired section of floor to match the original floor.

11. No nail holes in your floor

The prefinished flooring from Bamboozle is straight and flat which means we don’t need to use nails to hold the floor down or stop it moving.

12. Less damage to your floor from other trades

Because a prefinshed floor can be installed in days and beady to walk on immediately, it can be left to the very end of the building or renovating process. This allows all other trades to be completed before we start to install your new floor, minimising the risk of damage to your beautiful new floor.

13. Your floor matches what you chose in the showroom

By managing the quality, colour and coating in the factory means we can deliver a product consistent to what you have slected when visiting the showroom. Unfortunately, with solid timber flooring that is coated in the home there are too many site variations that make it very difficult to achieve the same look and finish as a showroom.

Features & Benefits of a Bamboozle floor

Ten layers of non-yellowing, durable coating

By applying multiple layers of polish, your floors will have the maximum resistance to scratches.

Floorboards with a choice of widths to suit you

Our cross-layered technology has allowed us to create wider, longer floorboards, which can help to create a feeling of more space.

Prefinished flooring

Your floor is ready to walk on within hours of being installed. No need to move out or find short-term accommodation as is the case with the sand and polish method.

Floorboards are glued directly to the floor

This helps to create a quieter floor to wlk on and there are no unsightly nail holes.

“From the beginning, we made a commitment to create the world’s most stable, durable and beautiful looking hardwood flooring. Working with a product that naturally contracts and expands presented us with plenty of challenges, but after many years of research and development, we fulfilled our commitment and in the process created our patented technology.” Mark Hutchison – Founder and Managing Director
