I am going to renovate my home and thinking to install bamboo floors. So is it a good option tgo install bamboo floors in my home?

Please give me some suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Probably, but you will want to find good quality, and DO allow the floors to get acclimatized to YOUR home before you start laying them. I'd remove the packaging, and re-stack loosely to allow air flow.

Depending on the look you are after, we found a low-lustre super durable oil based finish that is ZERO fumes and zero off-gassing. If you choose badly, you may have to move out until the finish is done -off-gassing. We used RUBIO MONO_COATE, a Norwegian product. Amazing stuff - but your local installers will never have heard of it!

On the bamboo, we used a traditional urethane product - smelled bad and was hard to perfect.

On our 3/4 oak floors, we used the Rubio and it is amazing. We've even spilled Vodka on it with no negative results (not that I advocate wasting vodka, ever!0.
