Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: ? Wood floors in CommonHouse?

[Karen Carlson (kcarlson2]

We installed a special fiber bamboo in our main room and hallways that's 
supposed to be much stronger than oak.  After 3 years there is only one or two 
serious scratches which think is remarkable given the abuse.  (We do try to 
cushion table & chair legs but no system is perfect.)

Here's info about the floors but I don't remember which bamboo we got--the 
hardest, I think.

We put cork in our smaller rooms and ceramic tile in the kitchen.

Good luck,
