Bamboo Flooring For All Price Ranges

A high quality bamboo floor is comparable in price to a high quality hardwood floor.

If you’re considering bamboo floors as a cheap alternative to hardwood floors, you may be in for a disappointment. A high quality bamboo floor is comparable in price to a high quality hardwood floor – which is only to be expected when dealing with materials of roughly equivalent quality. That doesn’t mean, however, that you don’t have options for budget and discount bamboo floors and flooring materials.

The Cost of Bamboo Flooring
In general, figure on paying from $2-$6 per installed square foot for a high quality bamboo floor. This price can vary from one supplier to another, and of course by the cost of installation. This compares with prices that range from $1.85 to $12 for oak flooring. Other types of solid hardwood flooring can be considerably more expensive, and laminate or engineered wood floors can cost less. There are ways to reduce the cost of your new bamboo flooring, though.

Do It Yourself
One of the easiest ways to reduce the cost of a new bamboo floor is to install it yourself. Bamboo floors are no more difficult to install than any engineered or laminated floor – that is to say, it’s not a job for a casual do-it-yourselfer. If you’re handy, though, and have experience working with wood and flooring, doing it yourself can substantially reduce the cost of your new floor.

Shop Discount Flooring Outlets
Rather than shopping for a cheap bamboo floor, look for quality brands at discounted prices. The problem with many of the cheap brands of bamboo floor is that the manufacturers may cut corners, especially where the purchase of raw materials is concerned. Bamboo that is younger than three years, or not dried properly will yield poor quality floors. Instead, shop wholesale and contractor’s stores, and look for lumber liquidators.

Shop Online
Shopping online for bamboo flooring is another excellent way to save money on your new bamboo floor. Online shopping allows you to compare prices from all over the world rather than just your local area. In addition, doing business online lowers the costs for the dealer, who can pass those savings on to you.

If you’ve decided to choose a quality floor made of a renewable, fresh resource, bamboo floors are the ideal choice. By shopping wisely, you can find bamboo floors that suit your style and your pocketbook.
