strand woven bamboo flooring (it looks more like a hardwood than the normal bamboo flooring, and it's waterproof, as the strands are set in resin and every face has 6 coats of lacquer).

I've fitted similar a few time and after going back to one job some months later it was scratched to pieces, the laquer was very soft so anybody with a stone in there sole would destroy it in seconds.

Some are better than others but for piece of mind i'd have a little test in one area to see how it stands up, prefer oiled myself as it hides a multiude of sins

Ive already got some of this stuff in our livingroom and master bedroom. It's very hard (suppliers say it's twice as hard as oak) and the mitre saw was worked very hard when cutting it, very dense (each pack weighs a ton - not literally, but it weighs a lot more than you'd expect a pack of that size to weigh), and is water resistant. The stuff in the livingroom and bedroom has been down 6 months now and still looks perfect, unlike some Oak flooring we bought in Costco which was dented and scratched to hell in 6 months in our old house (that Oak flooring was also lacquered).

The bamboo I bought was from Simply Bamboo, pretty much all bamboo flooring comes from China, but there's a hell of a difference in quality between the suppliers (I got plenty of samples from places to compare), you need to look out for the stuff that has 6 coats of German lacquer - that's the stuff that doesn't scratch easily, although a stone in a shoe tread will scratch pretty much anything.

I have just done a bathroom walls and floor and have finished the job now the bath has been left with a gap at the other end of the bath from the taps . I have no photos but it dont look the best the customer is looking for a strip or something to cover this as it is hard to fix to something to the wall now. any tips suggestions would be very gretaful.


Always have some 3inch upvc architrave in your armoury m8. I find that if you have a small gap it works a treat especially as nost baths and grout are white. Trying to box off a small strip of 2 or 3 inches is a pain ans getting good seals along thr front and back if the tiles is difficult without creating an area that traps water.

Upvc architrave will fit tight to the bath with a nice bull nose finish.

Might help you providing the gap isnt huge.
