Thanks for all the advice.

The bamboo product we're looking at is Bamboozle - it's $138/sq m. It seems to have a good reputation.

Thanks for the tiles advice too - I hadn't thought of all those people that hate them. Most people like the wood/bamboo look so that's probably the safer option.

We're even considering the timber laminate now (heaps cheaper) but just not sure about its longevity.

Tarkine - the floor will be laid directly over the slab.
