How thick is bamboo wood flooring?


Anywhere from 3/4" to 5/8". You can find some engineered bamboo with an 1/8" wear layer.

If you're asking thickness, thinking that you can refinish it at some point in time if need be – just remember, bamboo is a woody grass, it is not wood, and therefore does not refinish the same way wood does. Also, if gluing a solid bamboo to the subfloor, make certain to use a urethane adhesive, but even then, I would still be nervous about it absorbing moisture. I would recommend plastic, plywood, felt, and nailing the floor.

    The majority of stuff that I've seen in my shopping for bamboo floors is 5/8 of an inch thick. Sometimes you can find it in 3/4 of an inch thickness.
