Having decided to purchase bamboo flooring, the first thing that comes to mind is how much you’re going to pay for everything. Fortunately, bamboo flooring is currently a good choice for saving yourself some money. You can find some good deals if you look around some.

What’s Included In The Price?

When you talk about bamboo flooring prices, there are some things that you should consider. Are you buying an unfinished bamboo floor or is it a standard finished flooring?

Frequently the price of an unfinished floor will appear to be cheap at face value, starting around the $1.50 S/L level. Keep in mind however, that you need to include the cost of finishing the floor and the extra labor will probably add to the final bill.

Even if you will be installing the floor yourself, you might incur in additional costs for extra materials and tools for sanding, staining and coating the flooring.

Your best bet will probably be in choosing a standard finished bamboo floor. Today, you can find a broad range of options both in color and in pricing. Starting at around $1.99 upwards to $4.99 per S/F, it should give you the choice of finding what you’re looking for.

In general, the price is usually determined by the quality of the finish, the warranty and the installation option (snap lock or a straight edged plank).

Not Every Floor Is Coated The Same…

The coating of your bamboo floor is a determinant both of its price and durability. It’s important that choose a bamboo floor that has been coated with a quality product, not because of the low price. The coating will decide how long your floor is likely to last.

How Long Does Your Warranty Last?

From zero to lifetime, what you should consider when looking at your floor’s warranty is what use will you be giving it. Repairs are often expensive, so give it some thought and decide on something that you can be sure of, think long term. Another bit of advice: always, always, always rely on reputable and well established companies to buy your floors from; what good is a lifetime warranty if the company you bought your product from won’t be there in the next 2 years?

Snap Lock or Straight Edge?

Snap lock bamboo flooring planks are usually sold at a higher price than those without. This is due to the extra cost involved in its production process. The benefit of using snap lock planks vs. a straight edge, is that you can save more time in its installation. If saving a few hours is important to you, clearly you should choose a snap lock bamboo floor.

Luxury Bamboo Flooring

Some types of bamboo flooring are finished by hand, you should expect to pay around $8 per S/F for hand scraped finishes. If you’re looking for a completely unique look, this is an option that you should consider even if this means paying a little bit more.

Armed with this knowledge, you should be ready to go and buy your bamboo flooring.
