Bamboo parquet in the kitchen?!

2014-06-28 14:54:31

[*]Is it worth choosing pre-oiled parquet? Apparently, you have to re-oil it anyway ...
[*]What lasts longer until the next maintenance interval? Oil or wax?
[*]Is it true that oiled bamboo parquet tends to show water stains more than waxed?
[*]From a technical point of view: What is easier to maintain? Oil or wax?
[*]Does anyone have (bamboo) parquet in the kitchen and can provide pictures?
[*]How about bamboo parquet in the bathroom? Okay? Or not a good idea?

I believe pre-oiled or oiled parquet looks better, but bamboo parquet for the kitchen is a great idea; I would also choose it. Bamboo parquet is water-resistant but should be allowed to dry out completely again regularly. The bamboo products are also treated during the production process against mold and fungal infestation, so you are well protected. For the bathroom, however, I would consider something else...

I am more in favor of tiles in the kitchen. In my opinion, they are easier to clean and do not require as much maintenance as wood. Of course, it is a matter of taste and not something to argue about. Naturally, if something falls, such as a pot, the tile will break.

Hello everyone,

hoping that someone here knows:

We are building our dream house in September: the entrance area, hallway, living and dining area, as well as the kitchen are designed very openly. Geometrically, it unfortunately results that, for the sake of appearance, we should lay the same flooring everywhere (except maybe in the entrance area, where a different flooring could fit in somewhat harmoniously).

So far, we have fallen in love with bamboo. The company Bambus Concepts offers either a 10mm two-layer (but with bamboo as both the supporting AND wear layer) and a 15mm solid parquet (3-layer, also all layers bamboo). Both at a very good price for us.

Oiled, sanded for self waxing/self oiling) are available. Lacquered is not an option for us, as damages are not so easy to repair here. So it comes down to oiled or waxed....

The question now is: oil or wax?

We can protect the entrance area from the worst with a sufficiently large dirt trap. The living and dining areas are also not exposed to heavy wear. But the kitchen worries me.

I’ve already googled, but opinions here somehow differ greatly. Throwing a few questions out there for discussion:

[*]Is it worth choosing pre-oiled parquet? Apparently, you have to re-oil anyway ...
[*]What lasts longer until the next maintenance interval? Oil or wax?
[*]Is it true that oiled bamboo parquet tends to show water stains more than waxed?
[*]From a technical point of view: What is easier to maintain? Oil or wax?
[*]Does anyone have (bamboo) parquet in the kitchen and can provide pictures?
[*]How about bamboo parquet in the bathroom? Okay? Or not a good idea?

Hello,

I would also like to install bamboo parquet in the kitchen. What did you ultimately decide on and are you satisfied, or what experiences do you have?

Thank you!
