- Timeless look – natural grains and warm tones give bamboo a distinctive style that doesn’t date.
- Easy care – pre-finished boards only need sweeping and an occasional mop to stay fresh.
- Cost-effective – delivers the premium look of timber flooring without the premium price tag.

Where Bamboo Flooring Fits Best
- Living rooms – strong, stylish and warm underfoot, bamboo creates a natural centrepiece for family areas.
- Bedrooms – softer natural tones make bedrooms feel calm and relaxed.
- Hallways & entries – strand woven bamboo resists dents and traffic wear.
- Dining rooms & studies – versatile, elegant, and easy to keep clean.
Like engineered timber, bamboo isn’t recommended for wet zones like bathrooms or laundries. For water-prone areas, see our Waterproof Vinyl or Hybrid Flooring.
Installation & Maintenance
Most bamboo flooring uses a click-lock floating system, making it simple to install over a clean, level subfloor. It can also be glued down for extra stability if required. For long-lasting performance, pair it with a quality underlay for comfort and sound absorption.
Maintenance is low-fuss—sweep regularly, mop occasionally, and protect high-use spots with mats or rugs. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water to keep your bamboo floors in top condition.

Bamboo Flooring FAQs
Is bamboo flooring environmentally friendly?
Yes. Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world, making it a highly renewable and eco-friendly flooring choice.
Is bamboo flooring durable?
Strand woven bamboo is extremely hard—often stronger than traditional hardwoods like oak and jarrah—making it suitable for high-traffic areas.
Can bamboo flooring be refinished?
Some bamboo floors with thicker wear layers can be sanded and refinished, but always check the specific product’s details before attempting.
Is bamboo flooring water-resistant?
Bamboo is more water-resistant than solid timber but not fully waterproof. It’s best used in living areas, bedrooms, hallways and dining rooms—not wet zones like bathrooms.
How does bamboo compare to engineered timber?
Bamboo is generally harder and more eco-friendly, while engineered timber provides a classic wood grain look. Both are pre-finished, stable, and low-maintenance alternatives to solid timber.
