Our firm has sold and installed countless bamboo floors over the last ten years. Quality bamboo installed properly is a fine flooring but too many "want" this to be the right choice so they tend to ignore the drawbacks. Bamboo is an environmentally friendly, renewable resource when it is harvested with integrity and manufactured following American standards. (Using low or no voc adhesives). Vavala provided an article above with some good information but after praising the product for several pages the author then included this passage at the end.

"If you live in an area of high humidity, you may want to rethink using bamboo floors. If you decide to go with bamboo, be sure to diligently maintain a cooler temperature in your home during warmer months. Distributors will also tell you to acclimate your flooring where it will be installed, so it can get used to the humidity of the room. All manufacturers recommend keeping bamboo flooring out of direct sunlight, which can cause the floors to discolor or soften. Keep in mind that bamboo floors are not indestructible. Many manufacturers will recommend never wearing high heels on bamboo flooring."

In the end, I'm not against bamboo but just please make an informed decision. Buy American bamboo only(much higher quality and truly environmentally friendly), invest a higher quality material, and always,always, always install a moisture barrier when installing over concrete subfloor. (Although bamboo floors represent less than 5% of market approx 90% of buckled floors we have removed have been bamboo without a moisture barrier).

I hope this helps. Good luck and let me know if you need help sourcing a quality product.
