I'd like some feedback concerning bamboo flooring?
Please let me know your experiences with bamboo flooring.
I'd like some feedback concerning bamboo flooring?
Most flooring store oversell bamboo floors as one of the hardest flooring available, truth be told they are NOT. It is similar with any natural hardwood flooring, and based on the Janka hardness rating (This is the measure of a wood floors density. Denser floors have a higher rating and are harder to gouge and indent from daily wear) Bamboo is tougher than Oak and almost as hard as Maple which is around 1380 psi. This puts it in the average rating in terms of hardness.
The finish that is applied to the floors however determines the overall wear. It does scratch and any wood floor finish will scratch, aluminum oxide is however the most scratch resistant finish available for a floor today, and there are many versions of aluminum oxide as well. It is important to use a branded version, Treffic aluminum oxide from Germany is an example.
Anyhow, there are now different types of bamboo available, Strand Woven Bamboo for one comes with a Janka hardness rating that is the same as Brazilian Walnut which is about 3000 PSI and is hard to dent, is responsible green building, and looks amazing.
Installation should not be an issue either since Bamboo floors can either be nailed/stapled, glued or floated (same as a laminate floor installation) which can go practically anywhere, except heavily wet areas of course :) Aesthetically speaking, bamboo flooring spans all design themes from traditional to ultra contemporary and certainly provides a distinct look to your home.
And the best part of it all, bamboo is affordable!
I answer the live chat for simplefloors.com so if you need any additional information on this stop by and chat with me, flooring is what I specialize in and I am happy to help out, no strings attached.
Goodluck on your project :)
Reply:Hi. I am a Project Manager for a flooring company for a living. I have sold several bamboo floors. They are VERY problematic with regards to water. If you live in a very wet (humid) climate, steer clear. Also, bamboo floors with a gloss finish scratch VERY easily.
Flooring made out of grass is generally a scary idea in my opinion. I also expect that bamboo will be a very dated look in ten years or so (like avocado green, or brick paver floors, or shag carpet).
To the plus side, bamboo is very hard and resists dents and is kind of cool looking.
DO NOT USE IN ANY WET AREAS LIKE KITCHENS OR BATHROOMS. MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL A TILE LANDING AT ALL DOORWAYS. ***VERY IMPORTANT***
Make sure that your flooring contractor properly acclimates your bamboo flooring by bringing it into the house and OPENING THE CARTONS at least 48 hours (preferably 72) before installation.
Good luck on your new flooring!!
Reply:I have found that bamboo flooring is excellant if you have no pets or kids running on it. It is very sofy and scratches very easy
Reply:We just installed a multil color bamboo floor. Colors very from med oak to mohagany. It looks and feels fantastic. The wood is very thick and durable. Ours can be sanded up to three times. We are really happy.

Where can I puchase mechanically processed Bamboo linen products, such as towels?
This is only for the caustic soda free (in manufacturing at all stages) free products. Some is marketed as Organic or natural bamboo. Most places either deflect the question ("not that bad" for the envirenment"), fail to state source, or missquote certifications (Oeko-Tex).

Have you tried this palce? It's easier to find products on-line than in the mall.

How do I get sticky price sticker residue off bamboo?
Without scratching the bamboo? I bought a bamboo platter and it had a huge sticker on it--I got most of it off, but there remains a sticky patch and I'm afraid if I start scraping it, I'll scratch up the wood. Why they couldn't put on the easily peeled off kind of sticker, I don't know.
Any suggestions for getting the sticky off?
Thanks!
How do I get sticky price sticker residue off bamboo?
eucalyptus oil, it works on metal maybe give it a try!
Reply:I am shocked no one has mentioned Goo Gone. You can get it anywhere- Wal Mart, Lowes, etc. It is often in the household cleaning isles as well as in hardware or automotive isles.
It safely removes sticker residue off of everything I have used it on. I have used it on wicker so I wouldn't think bamboo would be any different. Just saturate a cotton ball with it, place it right on the sticky area for a few minutes and it then just wipe off the sticky. Follow with a damp rag then dry.
You will find you use it for everything! It's great to remove the sticky residue sometimes left on stainless appliances by the sticky protective film sheets they apply at the factory. Ever tried removing the unsightly tags from lamp or appliance cords? You are left w/ sticky residue that attracts dust. Goo Gone takes care of that too.
Reply:lighter fluid ,adhesive remover, WD-40
Reply:A product called E-Z Take Away, I think it's made by the PB Blaster (penetrating oil) people. E-Z Take Away Sticker %26amp; Adhesive Remover. Nothing like it
Reply:Goo Gone or Goof Off. They are the same products basically.
Sometimes just soaking it will loosen the stickey too. It depends on the type of glue. If you don't want to submerge to get the residue off, you can lay a wet cloth on it for a few hours and see if that changes anything.
Reply:try rubbing alcohol it works for me
Reply:Orange oil is great for removing sticky residue... it smells good too!
Reply:eucalyptus oil works on pretty much everything. Just put a bit on a rag and rub it on the residue. It will come off really easily. I have heard that baby oil works too.
Reply:you could use tar remover it removes more than just tar it takes off glue and most things that are sticky

What can i use to kill bamboo plants?
My neighbor has bamboo plants that are like 30 foot tall. They are wild and out of control. Every year they spread out more and more and now they are on myside of the property line fence. They are in my way and destroying my yard. They are litterally taking over.please help!
What can i use to kill bamboo plants?
you have a major issue and you might want to think about making your neighbor take responsibility. This stuff is so bad is website devoted to fighting it lol they call it DAMNboo and have all the ways there to fight it http://www.killingbamboo.org/how-to-kill...
that said basically you can contain with barrier or fight. you can add weed killers but i think that mainly just makes fight take longer.
1 contain
If bamboo has been planted without root barrier and is now growing where you don’t want it, you have several choices. The choices all start out with digging a trench about 3 feet deep around the area where you want the bamboo to grow. You can then install root barrier, pour concrete at least three inches thick or fill the trench with loose gravel. You can rent trench digging machines at equipment rental stores. Root barrier is available from larger nurseries. It comes in very long rolls, should be at least 0.040 inch thick and about three feet high. Expect it to cost between $1 and $2 per foot. If you choose root barrier or concrete, you should leave an inch or two above ground level to make it easier to find the roots that try to escape over the top of the barrier. If you choose the loose rock fill, you will have to use a sharp spade at the beginning of every growing season to cut down into the trench and sever any new roots that try to cross the trench.
2 fight
Rhizomes that have already extended outside their area can be dug up. If that isn’t practical, continue to knock over all new shoots you see for the next few seasons, once the rhizomes are severed from the main plant, and the rhizomes will eventually die.
1. Cut it off. All of the culms (stalks) of bamboo in a clump or grove are interconnected underground by rhizomes (underground stems) unless you have cut them by digging a ditch or cutting a line with a spade. A bamboo grove is usually one single plant, not a group of plants. Many people have the impression that every bamboo culm is a separate “tree.”
If the bamboo in your yard has come across from your neighbor’s yard, separate your grove from his by cutting the connecting rhizomes, which are usually quite shallow. If you don’t, and his part is healthy and vigorous, the rhizomes in your part will still be supported by the photosynthesis in the leaves of his part, and your efforts will be in vain. On the other hand, if you do manage to kill your part with a herbicide you may also kill his part. Lawsuits or at least hard feelings can result.
Therefore, be sure to isolate the portion you want to keep from the portion you want to kill. Cutting rhizomes with a spade or a saw will do the trick if you do it every year. If the growth is old, you may need to use a mattock or a digging bar the first time. Digging a ditch and putting in a barrier* is a more permanent solution.
2. Cut it down
Cut the grove to the ground. All of it. If there is any part you want to keep, see (1).
3. Water and fertilize the area, to cause new growth.
4. Cut it down again. And again.
New shoots will come up from the rhizomes. Break them off or cut them off with pruning shears. Keep doing this until no more shoots come up. This will exhaust the energy stored in the rhizomes underground. Without green leaves to photosynthesize and produce new energy, they will no longer be able to send up new shoots. The rhizomes will be left behind, but will rot away.
That’s all you need to do. You need a saw, a pair of pruning shears, and patience, and maybe a spade and/or mattock. The widely advertised herbicides don’t work well on bamboo, probably because so much of the plant is underground. Since cutting the bamboo down will do the trick, and you have to cut the bamboo down anyway to remove it from your yard, herbicides are a waste of time and money in this case.
Reply:You can Roundup what sprouts in your yard, but bamboo is one of the toughest plants in the world. The methods of eradicating it wouldn't work, if the bamboo has a home base in your neighbor's yard. It will just keep coming back.
The bamboo in our yard in Hawaii died, but that was because the whole yard was denied water for a year. It was kind of a desert area, so reverted to bare dirt.
Reply:Round-up will most definetly kill it if you get all the sprouts. It will kill what ever it touches so be aware of what it touches. There are different strengths available as well. If Round up doesn't kill it then you have martian bamboo...:)) In addition Roundup dissipates in a day or two so you can replant quickly if needed.
Reply:Yup Roundup
But not ALL bamboo is invasive!!!!!!!! There are hundreds of non invasive clumping bamboo that are well behaved, even in cold climates (Fragesia sp.)
The other answerers should not tell everybody its bad and will ruin your yard, you just dont know there are differnt kinds of bamboo that will not do that
Reply:fire. Bamboo is a pest and so are your neighboors. Bamboo should be planted in containers. You may have grounds to make them take responsiblity for the bamboo in your yard. Bleach may work, give it a try, otherwise you will have to dig the bamboo out, constantly
Reply:machine gun. or mortar. flamethrower. hand grenade. all of these will pretty much demolish bamboo. if those products are inaccessible try digging the bamboo up at the roots.
Reply:Just have a word with your neighbour. If you can't do that cut the plants short and cover them with plastic bags. Bamboos love water so if they can't get it they'll die.
Reply:Maybe if you have me over I can kill them. I never have any luck with bamboo. (btw who the heck ever said they were easy to care for... they lied :( )

Do you have to keep your bamboo in soil and how do u fertalize it?
my moms friend just gave her a bamboo plant in a vase with just water in it then i did some research and some sites say to use soil and some sites dont then some say to fertalize and some sites dont so if anybody truly knows then please help
Do you have to keep your bamboo in soil and how do u fertalize it?
If your moms plant is in plain water with a few marbles at the bottom of the vase your mom doesn't have a bamboo plant, but a "look alike" plant. These plants usually have three or more bamboo looking stalks in a vase. If this is what your mother has then no special care is required. Leave it in a sunny window, and make sure it has enough water in the vase. When the water gets cloudy, or green from algae change the water.
Real bamboo seedlings would be in soil, and is in the grass family.
Reply:i have a pot of lucky bamboo I have had for 9 years it is huge and it lives in only water and rocks , bamboo spreads and quickly so remember that when planting
Reply:Bambu will spread rapidly. Put it in a shallow pot with dirt and watch how fast it fills it up. Water often and well.
Reply:Please say LUCKY bamboo because it is not bamboo at all. It is a slow growing lilly of the Draceana genus. You can plant it in soil if you want, it will not speard like crazy.
Even REAL bamboo will not spead like crazy if it is clumping bamboo. Bamboo got an invasive reputation by people planting running bamboo and knowing nothing about its characteristics.

How do I get rid of Bamboo?
You have to dig up as much of it as you can then go to Home Depot or Lowe's and buy a product called TRIOX vegetation killer. Pour it all over the dirt or wherever you have a problem with the bamboo, it should take care of it completely.You wont be able to plant anything in this area for several weeks. I had a bamboo problem at my other house and could not get rid of it except by doing what I just mentioned. Good luck.
Reply:Let me know if you really find a way?
Reply:for astart your neighbour is partly responsible for growing it in the first place. with their co-operation you will have success as i have. cut the whole thing down to about ground level.when the plant sends up new growth spray it with roundup, wait ten days and spray it again,it will shoot again because it has secondary survival factors,you have to get the roundup into the plants system by repeating the process after each time it sends up new growth, you will win in the end and it may take 3or 4 sprays so be diligent and don,t slacken off. remember you have to treet the whole plant

the roots go deep and good luck containing it ! best bet would be a piece of plastic in the ground about 2 feet deep!
Reply:burn it or chop it up but there might be ticks in there.

Reply:A friend of mine made a hot tub out of bamboo, well the sides actually.were lined with bamboo, as the bamboo was not for structural use but decorative. No over the counter product was suitable for immersion of the bamboo in water. He finally found a company who waterproofs concrete to spray the insides of the tub with a clear plastic used in swimming pools that have a decorative pattern in the tiles on the bottom. It worked for him, but it also caused a problem with algea now having crevices to grow in undisturbed, which I suspect will also be a problem in your shower, crevices where water will stay for long periods of time. Waterproofing the bamboo may be the least of your problems. Cleaning the crevices may be almost impossible.
Reply:How you install the bamboo will be very important. Your idea is fascinating, if you are doing what I think. If the poles are installed next to each other to create the interior of the shower you must first make sure that durarock is installed as the base. I don't recommend that you install it over the existing tile.
Each stick will have to be precoated with polyurethane and then reapplied after it is installed. There will be small spaces between the poles. You will have to decide how you plan to treat that area either with caulking or grout.
I would recommend a marine grade poly. Don't use an inexpensive product from a local home improvement store.
Good Luck!

Where can I find Duck Brand bamboo liners?
Does anyone know a wholesaler who has the Duck Brand bamboo shelf liners that use to be at Wal-Mart and Target? They seem to have discontinued them.
Where can I find Duck Brand bamboo liners?
Ask someone in customer service at Wal-Mart if they can tell you who their vendor was for the product.

Do you HAVE to have a bamboo mat for rolling sushi?
Today I went to the japanese grocery store and baught some rice vinigar and some sushi rice and roasted seaweed. I dont have the wooden bowl, flat spoon thingy or the bamboo mat.
Can I still make sushi?
Do you HAVE to have a bamboo mat for rolling sushi?
You can use a dish towel for rolling your nori maki
Reply:Yes. just roll it between your hands after wrapping with saran wrap.
Reply:The wood is good b/c the sticky, sticky rice won't stick to it when wet.
You might could try using plastic wrap.... you use the mat to assist you in rolling the sushi up nice and tight. Plastic wrap might suffice instead, but take care to wrap tightly.
Reply:Sure you can! The mat helps get the roll nice and tight, but you can do the same thing with wax paper. You might need to replace the wax paper after a couple of rolls, as it gets a bit soggy, but it works just fine. I made sushi at a friends house once and didn't have my mat-the wax paper worked so well, that I often don't bother with the mat.
Reply:idk i dont eat sushi...yukk! no offence but u prolly dont have to have a bamboo mat u can just use another thing similar to it
Reply:Yes or you end up with jacked up sushi. It won't roll correctly or tightly.
Go to your local bookstore like Books a million or Barnes %26amp; nobles. They often sell sushi making kits for less than 10 dollars. YOu will get the book, chopsticks and the all important mat.
Once you use the mat you'll never use anything else.
Reply:Sure you can. You can use a damp cloth covered with saran wrap instead of the bamboo mat.
When you make the rice, and pour the sugar/rice vinegar mixture over-- use a shallow basin or bowl, toss the rice with a large spoon, and ideally, fan it so that the liquid evaporates and the rice doesn't get mushy. Don't over mix- that's what the wooden paddle and bowl are for --but you don't need that.

Has anyone installed and lived on Bamboo Floors for a while?
I am considering 3' SOLID Bamboo Planks Flooring Floors floor $1.78/sf / HORIZONTAL CARBONIZED.
I have a concrete subfloor.
Has anyone installed and lived on Bamboo Floors for a while?
I used to have them in my store with a lot of traffic. They held up very well and were easy on the feet. I would recomend them.

How do i cut and install bamboo in a home as trim?
I am a carpenter and i have a job coming up that involves trimming out a home in manny sizes of bamboo poles. i am looking for imformation on cuting and coaping tequnicks. ang best ways to attatch them to gether
How do i cut and install bamboo in a home as trim?
You will have to drill small holes in the spots you want to put the nails.
Be sure the bamboo is cured good and pre-finished.
%26lt; %26gt; ( )
Reply:wow...tough one here...as a sheetmetalman I would think you could cut the bamboo in halves lengthwise and miter the same as you would any other top trim, bottom trim, side trim, etc....maybe dry bamboo would hold glue for mitered corners, etc.....good luck

Has anyone installed Lumber Liquidators Supreme Bamboo Floor?
I'm doing a new home and was wondering has anyone used Lumber Liquidators Supreme Bamboo floor or their engineered wood?
Has anyone installed Lumber Liquidators Supreme Bamboo Floor?
Yes I have it. My husband and I installed it ourselves. We've had it for about a year now. It did get scratched BUT NOT from my TWO dogs. It got scratched last Halloween when our neighbor's drink friends decided they would dance on our new bamboo floors in their army boots with ROCKS embedded in the soles!!!
If that hadn't happened, the floor would be in great shape. The consistency is like wood. It will ding when you drop metal things like screwdrivers, but overall it's held up really well. The small dings are hidden by pattern of the bamboo.
The best thing I like about the bamboo is the even temperature. My mom had maple floors and that were soooo cold in the winter time. The bamboo stays cool in summer and a tolerable cool in winter. If I moved, I would get the bamboo again.
P.S. Our local Lumber Liquidator carried a decorative border that's really cool. It has diamond shapes in it. Email me if you want to see a picture.
Duhryan3- I tried to email you but got an error msg. It said You email is not confimed and can not send?? Anyway, we went with the Morning Star. Send me an email address where I can attach pictures and I will send them.
Reply:Yes, I had this bamboo flooring for a year now, and, protect our house from extreme coldness compared to oak flooring that we had before. Super strong than any hard wood flooring! Report It
Reply:I am not specifically sure about L,L Bamboo. But I will tell you when it comes to Bamboo make sure it is in the 6' / 72" long boards. When manufactures make Bamboo flooring they take the bottom 6' of the chute and make premium floor with it.... the bottom of the chute is the oldest and hardest part. Everything above that they cut into 3' / 36" lengths. Most if not all of the wood floors you buy today are coming from eco-managed forests. Ones that are allowed to grow 20-30 yrs...That being said because Bamboo matures at 5 yrs of age instead of 35-50 yrs for Oak, most of the Bamboo you buy (if Premium) will be denser than your standard builder grade Oak floor. You can still buy Old growth Oak floors that will way out preform Bamboo, but are very costly. So all that being said Bamboo is a great floor if bought properly. Do your homework and ask them where they buy their Bamboo from.. Obviously Lumber Liquidators does'nt grow and manufacture themselves, so get more info on who they buy from...Good luck
Reply:Yes I have installed it for a customer, and the next morning we ripped it out BECAUSE, their dogs ran around on it over night and scratched the HELL out of it. They told the home owner, who had purchased the material, that it "was tougher than hard wood floors". I BEG TO DIFFER!!! Store location:Olathe, KS.

I have a problem with Japanese bamboo encroching on my garden. Does anyone know of a good remedy to stop it?
This is not a true bamboo, but a member of the buckwheat family or so I am told.It spreads by underground runners (rhysomes) and is wildly prolific.I would prefer a non-herbicide method. I have tried cutting the stalks and pouring bleach into the hollow stalks. That has been only mildly successful.
I have a problem with Japanese bamboo encroching on my garden. Does anyone know of a good remedy to stop it?
Yes a barrier would be the best option but i would use copper or atleast a barrier with a copper coating since copper has been proven to inhibit root growth
Reply:You are poisoning the ground with your bleach. The very best way is to dig down along the edge of your garden at least 12" then insert a barrier like thick plastic or even better, galvanized steel or aluminum sheathing. You can get all of these items from Menards.
I was watching Peoples Court where there was a case of a neighbor planting just that plant and their neighbor spent a grand to keep it out of their yard. The judge ordered them to pay their neighbors for the "enclosure" of the bamboo rhysomes by doing exactly what it says above. The judge asked if the remedy worked and the plaintif said it worked great but was expencive. So....where ever the bamboo is, enclose it first, then protect your garden.
Good luck! I would like to know what happens.
By the way....the aluminum sheathing can be found in the roofing department!
Reply:Flamethrowers worked in the forties, i'm not sure about now.
Reply:Buy a Panda Bear. They just love the stuff.
Reply:To stop the spread of bamboo roots place a solid physical barrier (metal, wood) in to the ground to a depth of about 24". Slant the bottom of the barrier about 10 degrees toward the bamboo trees so the roots are encouraged to grow up towards the surface where they stop.

Is there anything to put in bamboo water to make it healthier?
My bamboo is doing really well. The tips of the leaves are brittle after awhile, but it's growing like a weed. Can I put anything in it's water to make it even healthier?
Is there anything to put in bamboo water to make it healthier?
well putting bottled water for them is what they should have and it will make them grow really well,also i have been putting this stuff that i found in the flea market called green green and it seem to have been working very well it just gives them more nutrients..
Reply:You can buy some bamboo fertilizer. The only one I can think of at the moment is called Green Green but I'm sure if you do a search for bamboo fertilizer you'll come up with more.
