   How does this flooring hold up with dogs? Possible accidents?

     Hi Sharie,
     As far as accidents go, it will perform similar to any other hardwood floor, you’ll want to clean up standing puddles as soon as possible. The engineered construction makes it a bit less susceptible to moisture but it’s not waterproof or even water-resistant. This floor, however, is extremely dent resistant which is good if you have large pets, and resists scratching as long as it’s kept clean. Engineered hardwood flooring, including GeoWood, is the best real wood option for pets. If you want the most pet-proof floor out there, then look at Cali Vinyl Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring, it looks just like real wood but it’s 100% waterproof, easy to install and very cost-effective.

     Technically, it all can, as long as you take precautions. Personally, I’d only consider engineered, Geowood or vinyl.

   I live on the South Carolina coast. The summers can be hot & humid. Heat index can go to 100+. Would the Cali fossilized bamboo flooring work well in this environment, to include the kitchen?

     Hi Al,
     In theory, if you correctly follow our installation recommendations, you could install any of our floors. That said, the solid floors have very precise requirements as they tend to expand and contract (like any hardwood) with the seasons. If you’re set on wood, our Engineered or Geowood lines might be a safer option as they are less susceptible to this movement. If you want the wood look without the worry and upkeep then maybe our vinyl flooring is best.

     Hi Karen,
     Any area that experiences these types of extremes is always going to be a tough call for any solid hardwood floor including bamboo and eucalyptus. A lot of the risk actually lies with the installer. If the material is not properly acclimated or installed improperly, the natural movement of the floor can be hindered causing gapping (dry climates) or buckling (humid climates). In these environments cutting any corners during installation can result in issues with the floor. Nailing or gluing the floor down can also help, but we’d recommend looking at our engineered line or our Geowood line as these floors are much less susceptible to issues related to floor movement. Also, here’s a great little video that discusses floated wood floor movement.
     Hope this information helps your decision-making process and thank you for considering Cali Bamboo!
