I am considering putting in bamboo flooring I would love?
to hear from some people about their experiences. Mostly I am concerned with scratching and staining. My daughter has
a little dog that has been impossible to potty train and I am concerned that the dog will urinate on the bamboo and ruin it.
Any input will really be appreciated.
Thank You.
PS. Anyone want a brussels Griffon?
We have Bamboo FlooFlooring at my work. Here are some of the pros and cons;
Pros;
-Looks great!
-Colors blend well
-Easy to install yourself (we did)
- Long lasting
-Seems to keep the office a little cooler (unsure why)
-Easy to clean
Cons;
-scratches very easy.
-Loud to walk on with heels
-Leaves scuff marks
With a dog I don’t think I would recommend it.. When it scratches it looks horrible..
Hope this helps!
Can I use underfloor heating with cork flooring?
Yes you can use radiant heating under Cork Flooring. It is easiest to install a floating installation.
Here is an article from FindAnyFloor.com that will help you select the right type of heating

I need a paint color that will go with black/green granite and cherry floors. Any suggestions for a neutral?
You should play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

Based on your description, I suggest a gold, like "safari."
