Default Bamboo vs. Pergo

My brother in law is putting a bamboo floor in his house right now, it
is gorgeous, but it is a 3 ply sheet (about 5/8"thick total) of real
bamboo wood, where a laminate is a harder basic wood than bamboo, so
the real trick is the finish and how hard that is. for my part I still
go with bruce flooring ( I had a fire in my kitchen and wound up with
the safety glass from the stove shattered and sent 750 degree glass all
over the bruce floor and after wiping up the fire extingusisher residue
the floor looked brand new still)

We live in Hawaii near the rain forest. Half the year is quite wet
and half is dry. My friend was going to put in Pergo flooring as she
has some in her house already and it looks great and has lasted well
in spite of 3 huge golden retrievers.

She just asked me what I knew about Bamboo floors and I said I knew
nothing about either, but you all are such a smart group, I would ask
your opinion. YOu guys know everything!

What are the problems and what are the differnces between Pergo adn
Bamboo and if you could point me some where so I could read it , I'd
be happy with that too.

She needs to get this project underway within 2 weeks, so time is
important.

Thank you SO MUCH for any advice.

with aloha,
