We need to choose flooring for our upstairs (three bedrooms plus the landing). Our floorboards are old, uneven and gappy, plus the floors are not level and have quite a 'bounce' to them.
We're not keen on carpet and was thinking of cork, or possibly bamboo. We want something eco friendly and easy to clean.
I've seen the 'floating' cork floors, which are beautiful. However, our carpenter has said they need to be fitted over a flat floor, so he would still need to fit 9mm or 12mm plyboard underneath - which kind of negates the idea of having the floating floor?
I have got some samples of stick-down cork tiles, but they have a bit more of a 'pinboard' look about them, so I'm not sure...
I don't know much about bamboo, but could that be a good alternative? Or wood?
We are going for a modern minimalist look with all white walls, so want something to compliment that.
