Does Bamboo Flooring Scratch Easily?

Unfortunately, there is no flooring material (or other material, really) on earth that is 100 percent scratch-proof; diamond floors, anyone? Bamboo floors are the toughest hardwood out there, but they are scratch-resistant rather than impenetrable. They are scarcely effected by common scrapes and impact, but they can be gouged or dented under heavy duress. I'm sorry to all of the at-home bowlers out there, but you’ll have to stay in your lanes!

If you use something sharp enough and apply enough force, everything can be scratched. Luckily, industry standards have developed the Janka Scale to compare the genuine toughness of various wood materials. You will find that strand woven bamboo ranks highest – even against tough teaks and rosewoods.

Are you considering a home improvement project but feel unsure which new floor is right for your lifestyle? Look no further: bamboo flooring is versatile in style, but its signature toughness holds firm across all products!
