Although Cork is a GREEN product, it is a very soft material that can easily be damaged. Sharp or heavy objects such as appliances and furniture that are left in place for long periods of time can cause permanent indentations. It is prone to water moisture damage. Cork usually can not be sanded due to the soft, thin nature of the outer layer.

Mr. Bamboo's floors are 100% harder than oak and most other hardwoods and therefore will not dent or scratch from high heels, sharp objects, pet claws and furniture movement. Heavy objects and accidental spills will not damage our floors, and appliances left in place for long periods of time will not cause permanent indentations. Mr.   Bamboo's floors can be installed below grade due to its resistancy to moisture and it's also perfect for radiant heat installations. Since our floors are more durable, less maintenance is needed to maintain its beautiful appearance! Our floors can be sanded many times, but unlike Cork, if 1 bamboo board is damaged, it can simply be cut out and replaced. Bamboo, that's our name! Bamboo is all we do! Since 1998!
