Are bamboo floors of bad quality ?
Some friends told me bamboo floors were good, but I'm confused now
because I viewed a comment .
"I've seen reports of Bamboo flooring being ripped up due to fast wear
out.
I've seen reports of the plastic wood replacement boards coming apart
-
into messes of plastic - as the wood rots. It only costs 3 times more
and
lasts 5 or so years. Great. I have some on my weather station and the
rest of the "board" (Veranda) in the shop. Maybe the shop board will
last being dry for some years of replacements.
Kinda ugly things put on us - like the water polluting chemical in
Gasoline.
Good ideas forced upon us at our costs. Like Drug companies.
