[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 652896, member: 11791"] Tile... is hard on the feet for standing. It works well in areas where you don't stand, and where there is water, such as bathrooms, laundry, entry ways. Bamboo is no different than oak or maple - another natural product. Bamboo happens to be a faster growing, easier to renew natural resource. And yes... hard surfaces can bounce sound around, change acoustics, as compared to carpet. If you use hearing aids or have other hearing issues, you do not want 100% hard surface. Carpet... CAN be kept clean. You have to start with clean underneath - as in, really CLEAN subfloor. Then new underlay. Then carpet. And then... vacuum every single day, and use a carpet cleaner at least 4x/year. :D How many of us are prepared to do that? :rofl: My mother's answer to dirty carpet was to plan to change it every 5 years. Now that I have my own home, I understand why. At least with area rugs, you can send them out to the cleaners. [/QUOTE]
