    Bamboo Flooring on the top of mosaic flooring --- Possible ?

    I have a friend that built a new house and used Bamboo flooring. They are very disappointed. The bamboo shrinks away from the walls leaving gaps under the architraves and also leaves small gaps between the joins. In the light you can see the floor cupping and a wrinkly look about the boards...
