Bamboo Flooring Durability

Bamboo flooring durability is the concern of nearly every shopper since it is a relatively new product. We have several installations in place and performing, and we have a pretty good assessment of bamboo flooring durability. Because we do have enough jobs installed to get feedback, this common question that we get nearly every day can be answered.

The simple answer is very good! Now, do not be fooled because just like any other manufactured product the market is full of a growing variety of different grade product. One good example is that many of the bamboo floor products out there had a consistent bamboo flooring hardness rating. However, now some of the new cheaper grade floors are not as hard. We know that being a loyal follower of the ways of the flooring professor that you will understand the long term value of purchasing QUALITY bamboo which in turn ensures you will get superior performance from your bamboo floor.

How does bamboo flooring durability compare with other products?

The overall durability of a true quality bamboo floor is comparable to that of a typical red oak floor. Red oak flooring has been produced and installed for a long time and is considered by most as the standard in hardwood floors. red oak flooring has a proven track record and all indications point to bamboo being similar in hardness and overall durability. (as long as you get a quality product recommended by us).

How does finish quality affect durability?

Well, this could in fact be the million dollar question when it comes to bamboo flooring. We have found for the most part that milling is similar in consistency. finishes however can be quite another story. Today's technology finds us facing a wide range of finishing methods, and qualities. This carries over of course to all pre finished bamboo floor. Due to this fact it is imperative that you get all the facts and be sure to get a quality product with a premium grade finish. (as always we will help you make this an easy process).

What about scratching?

We again will reference the importance of the finish. Bamboo flooring hardness or impact resistance is based on the hardness of the material (which as we said is similar to red oak in many cases). The scratch resistance factor in bamboo flooring durability is a result of the quality of the finish (which we will help you be sure to buy quality). And of course the wear resistance is also controlled by the quality of the finish when it comes to overall bamboo flooring durability if you take our advice you will get a quality floor that will look beautiful for years to come!
