Timber Flooring vs Bamboo Flooring
TIMBER FLOORING
How do I make a choice between timber vs bamboo flooring? Firstly, timber flooring exudes a quality and warmth in any home. Secondly, there are many types or species of Australian timber, giving a wide range in colour and grain. Thirdly, timber also gives a wide range of hardness. Timber Hardness is measured by the Janka Hardness Test – the higher the number, the denser and harder the timber. Some timbers are relatively “soft”, Tasmanian Oak for example having a value of 4.9 compared to Jarrah with 8.5. Whilst Eastern States Blackbutt (9.1 kN) and Spotted Gum (11.0 kN) are some of the hardest timber floors.
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 Bamwood bamboo floor is over 70% harder than jarrah, and has 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. We can sand and polish it to give a traditional finish.
Bamboo flooring scores high marks when it comes to health and cleanliness. Pets often 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!
