wood or bamaboo floors ?

AquaPython · 08-10-2009, 05:59 PM

any have them?
i am going to be putting in a bamboo floor , and they ( i think reg wood has the option too) can be either glued down to the cement, or floating.

what are the pros and cons ? what did you do and why?

I thought this was going to be a sexual experience thread.

What type of space?

I would ALWAYS recommend floating.

Never heard of anybody having troubles with properly installed floating.

However, I personally knew 41 people who have taken their own lives scraping the old glue to put down new floor..

Only 41?

Scraping shit off floors sucks ass.

I would even recommend you put in a floating TILE floor. Especially if you live anywhere that freezes

Thermal expansion/contraction=cracking is what I think Azoom is getting at.
