Moso Unibamboo flooring. Any experience?

[farewellfigure]

Hi

We're thinking of getting bamboo flooring for our kitchen. Has anyone ever used the bamboo flooring on a roll, like Unibamboo which is made by Moso. It's really thin strips (about 1.5cm wide) on a latex backing. They say it's incredibly easy to lay which is great, but I'm just worried about how something so thin could be durable. The pieces are 2mm thick.

I'd welcome any advice.

I can't offer any help, but hoping someone can as I am thinking of having this too in our downstairs. I like the look of it but the guy in John Lewis said he'd only have it in his conservatory. On their website they say it's suitable for heavy use areas!

I wouldn't
my bamboo is 13mm thick so it has that lovely "feel" of solid wood - and in 10 years I can have the whole lot sanded back.
What sort of substrate does that stuff need?
mine crosses the gaps between wood and concrete floors etc etc

bamboo is wonderful but it does pick up dings and scratches (not that they show as the grain is so dense) I'd get stressed if I only had 1mm leeway

I just thought I'd pop back to say we've had samples in the post. The thin stuff is VERY thin and doesn't feel as though it would be very durable. Also it would be fine in our kitchen which has a lovely newly laid underfloor, but not in the other rooms which are old and grotty concrete. I think we'll be going with the tradition cliclock stuff which is much thicker and will cope with our weathered concrete.

Having said that, the thin stuff is rather lovely! And it goes round curves! Oooh.

interesting : what about solid bamboo rather than clicklock .... I have it running across the join between my old and new house - concrete to pine planks including gaps - only DH and I can tell where the gaps were
