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.

Both materials are good. I know there are two types of bamboo,
depending on the cut. Personally, I dislike the look of bamboo
flooring and would offer less for a house that has it. Large dogs
will damage any wooden flooring, less so if their nails are kept
trimmed.
