Bamboo Flooring Brisbane

Bamboo flooring gives any room a chic, clean and modern feel and is fast becoming the go-to choice for eco-warriors and interior creative fashionistas. It has a design edge that many homeowners are finding an attractive and valuable inclusion to their property. Bamboo is a highly sustainable timber source as it grows extremely quickly compared to tree timber and it is also a lot easier to harvest as the roots are shallow and the plant is thin. There are three shades to choose including a dark shade that creates a stunningly tropical feel and a blonder shade that is mutable, serene and soft. For a balance between the two there is a middle shade that is perfect for any style and feel you want to create.

Bamboo is a perfect flooring solution as it looks fantastic, has incredible versatility and is highly durable compared to traditional timber. We are specialists in bamboo flooring for the Brisbane region. If you are considering bamboo for your home or office we would love to offer you our advice. Bamboo is a truly beautiful option however it does need to be expertly advised. A few things we recommend you consider are:

Bennetts Carpets: The Best Bamboo Floors Brisbane has to Offer

For homeowners who are conscious of their environmental footprint, bamboo flooring is ideal. In addition to being sustainably grown, it is also biodegradable. Since bamboo grows so quickly, suppliers can harvest bamboo at a rapid rate without any adverse environmental impacts. As a natural timber product, it offers all the aesthetic advantages of a regular timber floor. This includes a pleasant underfoot feel, with warmth and comfort. In addition to this, it has a high hardness rating. This essentially means that bamboo is a durable and hardwearing flooring material.

Bamboo floors are prefinished in the factory, so it is easy to install. This means that the price of the installation will be lower than other flooring products. At Bennetts Carpets, we can install bamboo directly to the subfloor, so you get a solid and long-lasting installation to complement your bamboo flooring.

We sell bamboo from a variety of suppliers, and all our Brisbane bamboo flooring products are 14mm thick and engineered. Some of the brands we stock include Big River, Preference Flooring and Premium Floors. For a striking and clean finish to your flooring, you simply cannot go past bamboo. It has many advantages, including:

High hardness rating for better durability in high traffic areas
Attractive, stylish flooring option with many colours available in the Bennetts Carpets range
Easy to maintain, water-resistant and more affordable than many other timbers
Great for renting, as it can be removed and relayed easily, or even sanded and refinished like timber

Brisbane Bamboo Floor Specialists: Maintenance Tips & Benefits

Bamboo flooring has many of the same properties as timber, but with an eco-friendly advantage. It is hardwearing and long lasting, as well as being a very stylish option. However much like regular timbers, bamboo flooring does still require periodic maintenance. To help you out with this, Bennetts Carpets offers a number of maintenance services. We have also gathered a few tips on keeping your bamboo flooring looking great, as well as a list of benefits.

The Benefits Of Bamboo

Bamboo flooring has more benefits than a lot of people realise. These range from environmental sustainability to durability and looks. Bamboo has a very fast growth cycle, which lasts for just 5-6 years. This is a stark contrast to many hardwoods – some of which can take decades! When bamboo is harvested, the roots continue to live and produce more bamboo. This is good for the environment and also good for your budget. Amongst bamboo’s more hidden benefits are its hypoallergenic properties. Bamboo does not collect dust in the same way that other flooring products do. This makes it perfect for people with allergies.

Maintenance

When it comes to maintaining bamboo, it is not much different from a regular timber floor. It is important to keep dirt and grit off the surface, as this can scratch the outer layer of your bamboo floor. To clean it, simply use a regular hardwood cleaning product, as well as a vacuum and a damp mop. It is very important that you do not steam clean your Brisbane bamboo floors. Likewise, it is vital that you avoid bleach, abrasive scrubs, and acidic cleaners.

Bamboo Floor – Some Things To Watch Out For

If you spill liquids on your bamboo floor, you should wipe them up immediately with a dry cloth. Despite its water resistant properties bamboo is still a timber, which means that it can absorb water. This can subsequently cause the bamboo flooring to warp. Another thing to look out for is spiked shoes and high heels. In some cases, these can dent your bamboo floors, or even scratch them.

FAQ’s – Bamboo Flooring Brisbane

#1
Can I use bamboo flooring in my bathroom?

Bamboo is a very durable flooring product. What a lot of people don’t know is that bamboo is, in fact, a member of the grass family, as opposed to a conventional timber. It typically grows in wet environments and is more water resistant than many other timbers. Because of these properties, some people even choose to put bamboo flooring in their bathrooms.

However, bamboo still shares many of the same properties as regular timber. This means that it can absorb water. If bamboo or timber flooring absorbs water, the results can be quite damaging. The bamboo will swell, causing the flooring to buckle and warp and split.

At Bennetts Carpets, we recommend wiping up any spills on your bamboo flooring immediately. Similarly, we do not advise using bamboo flooring in your bathroom. Bathroom floors are prone to getting wet – it is inevitable. In all likelihood, this will result in your bamboo floors buckling or warping over time. Consequences such as that are simply not worth the risk. If you do have any questions about suitable flooring products for your bathroom, then let us know. We have a wide range of flooring materials on offer, and the experience to back up our advice. With Bennetts, you can rest assured that you are getting the best flooring solution possible.

What is the difference between bamboo and timber floors?

Bamboo is actually a species of grass, even though it is harder than a lot of regular timbers. What this means is that bamboo grows far more rapidly than hardwood timbers do. Bamboo takes 5-6 years to reach full maturity, while some hardwood trees can take more than 50! With such a rapid growth and maturity cycle, bamboo can be harvested very sustainably. This is enhanced even further by its complex root system. When bamboo is harvested, the roots do not die. Instead, they continue to grow more bamboo. This means that bamboo is produced in very large volumes, over very short periods of time.

Not only is this great news for the environment, but also for your wallet. Because producers can harvest bamboo relatively easily, it is quite a cheap flooring product. This is quite a contrast to a lot of mature hardwoods, which are out of many homeowners’ budgets. As bamboo grows primarily in wet parts of the world, it is quite a hard and water resistant material. This means it is durable and less likely to sustain water damage than many other timbers. It also has a sleek, stylish and modern appearance. Bamboo flooring is far paler than hardwood timbers. This is appealing to homeowners who are looking for a sleek modern look for their flooring.
#3
Can I sand my bamboo floors?

Bamboo is a very durable and hard flooring material. Because of this, it resists scratches and dents quite well – far better than a lot of softer timbers. However, over the years it is likely that your bamboo flooring will sustain some minor scratches or damage. This is quite common, and it is something that affects almost all flooring products. As dirt and dust gather on your floor, they gradually abrade the surface of the bamboo. No matter how well you maintain your floor, this can still happen. However, it is important to clean and maintain your bamboo flooring well.

If it deteriorates in the future, then there is no need to worry. You can sand and restore bamboo flooring in the same way that you can sand and restore other timbers. When done well, this will leave your bamboo looking as good as new. At Bennetts Carpets, we offer a range of maintenance services. Our experts can also provide you with professional advice on how to maintain your bamboo flooring, to minimise any damage.
