Pros and Cons of
Bamboo Flooring
by Stephen Saugnier
Intro Bamboo is a great alternative to
wooden flooring but as a home
owner, it is crucial that you
understand the pros and cons
before opting for this flooring.
2
Pros of Bamboo
Flooring
“
Costs less than hardwoods. Costs
typically between $2-$8 per sq ft which is still
lower than hardwoods that can cost anywhere
between $10-$20
4
“
Environment friendly. Bamboo
matures between 3-5 years and is thus a more
sustainable and environment friendly solution
than the slower growing hardwoods.
5
“
Easy Maintenance. Bamboo is easier to
clean and maintain compared to tiling. Only
occasional sweeping and vacuuming is required.
6
“
Durability. Bamboo has durability
comparable to hardwoods and high resistance to
shocks and dents. It is thus suited for high traffic
rooms.
7
Cons of Bamboo
Flooring
“
Cupping issues. Results from water
seeping into the bamboo surface or as a result of
high humidity/moisture levels causing the
bamboo to split or crack.
9
“
Refinishing issues. Certain bamboo
types such as engineered and carbonized
bamboo cannot be refinished. The entire flooring
may need to be replaced in such scenarios.
10
“
VOCs and Formaldehyde. Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOCs) used during
bamboo manufacture can cause health hazards.
11
Should You Buy
Bamboo Flooring
Bamboo’s aesthetic appeal and
affordability make it a great choice for
modern homes but avoid using
bamboo in high moisture
levels/humidity areas.
Check with your manufacturer on the
VOC levels before opting for this
flooring. For more detailed guide, visit
