I did a lot of research on this.
- It's cheaper than other hardwoods.
- It's actually a composite of woodchips, but still looks good
- It has a hardness rating of 17, compared to other hards at 11-14 so is IDEAL for an IP
- If you stick with the plain colour, you can easily sand it back. The other colours will show the natural colour through if scratched.
- Very difficult to scratch. I've tried with a nail and could barely make an impression.
- Was shown a piece of bamboo flooring that the shop was leaving in water. Had been in 12 hours and not changed shape at all.
Admittedly we went for blackbutt for our own house, but we would have gone it in an IP for sure.
