Hi guys, I am building a duplex that is almost finishing, one of the units has polished bamboo floor, but the edges have expanded and the board have curved a little, not too bad but definitely not flat (floor laid about 6 month ago).
Spoken to the floor guy, he said it was due to moisture in the air and no one lived in the premises and then sunlight shined directly onto the floor boards, he offered to sand the whole thing and re-stain it, and saying that floor boards are only change to an extent, after sanding it will not change shape any more.
The problem is the purchasers will not agree, they want the whole thing to be dug up and replaced with new boards. (house already sold, but not settled yet)
I spoke to department of fair trading to see what the standards are and what rectification is acceptable, but it seems no such standard exist.
And the floor guy is saying that sanding it and re-oil it will be "made good", any one had similar experiences? What can I do? Is there a set of standards or regulations so I can sort it out?
Cheers
Hector
