Bamboo Flooring by Duro Design

When revamping the floors in your home, you will want to give careful consideration to the beauty of bamboo flooring. However, you may find that there are different types of bamboo flooring – residential and commercial. If you are tough on your floors – moving furniture, wear high heels, have children running about, or just walk heavy in general – you will definitely want to go with commercial bamboo flooring in your home.

Commercial bamboo flooring is more expensive, yes, but it may end up reducing future costs later on. By investing in your floor now, you will save money by not having to replace it in the future. Commercial bamboo flooring is created for harder and tougher use than your typical bamboo flooring. Even though regular bamboo flooring is durable and strong, with commercial bamboo flooring, you get the added strength and durability of woven strands.

Typical bamboo flooring is created when the bamboo stalks are cut into strips, which are then glued together under extreme pressure. This leads to a solid plank product. For commercial bamboo flooring planks (typically called strand-woven bamboo), however, both smaller pieces and strips are woven together, molded, and then pressure-glued together at high-intensity levels in order to create a more durable product.

When bamboo strands are actually woven together, you get this commercial grade flooring that has become the economical choice for those folks who want to make an eco-friendly statement, but still want a beautiful durable product. If you invest just a little more in your flooring now, years later you will not have to deal with the headache of moving & displaced furniture and avoiding the area under construction. Choosing the right flooring up front will save you both time and money later.

Both products are created for high traffic areas, but strand/commercial bamboo flooring scores higher on the flooring durability scale than your typical bamboo flooring does. Both will look beautiful in any home.

For all of those homeowners who want the glossy and smooth finish to last for years to come, the choice between commercial bamboo flooring and typical bamboo flooring is clear.

For a foot-warming experience, select underfloor heating with your laminate floor purchase. However, note that when you purchase a underflooring heating unit that is of the reversible type (one that cools in the summer as well as warming in the winter), is incompatible with laminate flooring.

When choosing from the selection of Balterio Laminate Flooring, please know this type of flooring is best suited to areas that aren’t exposed to repeated water exposure, such as bathrooms and saunas. The permanent presence of humidity and/or steam increases the risk of the planks swelling, which causes damage to your floor. Additionally, do not leave water standing on any Balterio Laminate Flooring product.

If you already have a laminate flooring product laid and wish to install a Balterio Laminate Flooring product, no problem. As long as the surface is flat, clean, and a subfloor is laid under the new laminate, you will be fine. Note that if there is underfloor heating, there is a great chance that energy costs will be higher.

Maintenance of your Balterio Laminate Flooring product is easy. Clean the floor with a dry, microfiber cloth, and every once in a while, clean the floor with a slightly moist cloth to really make your floor shine. It is important that moisture and/or water never remains on the laminate floor.

If you wish, you can also clean the laminate floor with a vacuum cleaner – just use a parquet brush on your vacuum or switch the cleaner head to brush position. If you see a stain on your Balterio Laminate Flooring product, moisten a cloth with water or acetone and wipe the stain clean. If you find a grease stain, try using 2 mL of lemon juice or vinegar in a bucket of clean water and cleaning the laminate floor with a well-wrung cloth.
