Hi everyone,
i am looking to install the bamboo flooring for my units, i don't know much about the bamboo flooring market. With my limited knowledge about bamboo flooring, i wanted the following spec: cold press, 14mm thick, with 4mm under lay. The budget is $90 per metre square fully installed if possible. Any recommendation & suggestions is much appreciated.

- Go to a flooring showroom.
- Obtain quotes for supply.
- Showroom will have approved/preferred installers — contact them for pricing/installation schedule.
- Repeat steps 1-3 until you have at least 3 different complete quotes that you're satisfied with.
- Select preferred supplier and installer.
Gumtree is your friend(if you are careful).
I have been to a few stores. But not really happy with the pricing and lack of explanation. Everyone is trying up sell their product. Has been quoted $100-120 fully installed. Considering i am doing nearly 400 square meter. The price is not reasonable at all.
Anyway, i found a supplier, their office is in Sydney, but has warehouse in all all states. Seem to be a lot of good feedback with their materials and reasonable priced. UB trading.

I found a local supplier in the SE suburb Melbourne. It's almost the same range or exactly the same! I am paying around $3 more per square metre but for a peace of mind of a local supplier. Superb Tiles is the supplier. In term of installer, haven't found one yet, they should cost around $22-$25 (minus 10% if u pay cash) for installation. After doing all the research, I decided to get the 3mm rubber underlay. Even though they are giving me free standard underlay (2mm cheap foam+foil). I have been told if you get the standard underlay, overtime, it feel very "flat" and hard. If 4mm or more used, the floor will feel "bouncy". Hope that helps.
Thanks for sharing
