You should know that all brands are not created equally just because bamboo is so abundant in China. It's important to have a company that is going to stand behind the floor. There are some brands that are really strong at that and other brands that if you ever have a problem with your floor, you're out on your own. Looking for a good brand made by a good manufacturer is the first step. And also, as I mentioned earlier, not setting the expectation that bamboo is somehow a bulletproof floor, it's just a floor.
Other than that, bamboo floors are very environmentally friendly because of the sustainable environment that the bamboo's growing in. It doesn't cost a lot to produce, so it is very economically viable as well. This is a really great combination of factors for the consumer.
If you're going to put the flooring in over radiating heat you want to use engineered bamboo, so you have got to watch out for that also. So, your usage is an important consideration.
