Bamboo Flooring for condo

12 years ago

Need some advice...

We live in a 1st floor condo on a concrete slab. We want to put down bamboo flooring - quick-lock/floating. Will also have radiant heat underneath the flooring.

Any recommendations for a DIYer? Does anyone have experience/opinions of any of these:

1. BamLoc (Mr. Bamboo flooring)

2. Home Legends (Home Depot) Strand Woven "Toast" Click Lock Bamboo Flooring

3. Teragren Natural Textures "New Country"

I'm also concerned about the off-gases/fumes.

If you have any other recommendations - please let me know!

Thanks!

Just wanted to post this again. We still haven't made a decision on our flooring yet. Can anyone offer some assistance?

Will carpet provide better insulation against the cold? We're headed into a cold, midwest winter and don't want to regret putting in a floating bamboo floor.
