Beautiful, durable bamboo flooring for every space

  • Exceptional Hardness. One of the hardest flooring options available—compressed bamboo is harder than most hardwoods and extremely resistant to wear.

  • Colour Range. Available in Natural, Coffee, and Vanilla tones to suit a range of interior styles.


  • Finish. Comes pre-finished with a durable, scratch-resistant UV coating—ready to install, no sanding or sealing needed.


  • Board Size. 1850 x 135 x 14mm


  • Installation. Quick and easy click-lock system for floating floor or glue-down installation.

  • Best For. Great for high-traffic areas, busy family homes, or commercial spaces.

Why Choose Bamboo Flooring?

Bamboo is a symbol of eco-conscious living, offering unmatched advantages over traditional hardwoods.

Bamboo is one of the most renewable materials on the planet. It grows incredibly fast, regenerates without replanting, and produces far less waste than hardwood trees—making it an eco-friendly alternative for conscious homeowners.

We have great confidence in the stability, strength and longevity of Plantation Bamboo Flooring to provide such a long structural warranty – backed by our supplier.

With warm tones and clean grain patterns, bamboo flooring adds timeless style to any room. Choose from Natural, Coffee, or Vanilla tones to suit your space.

All our flooring comes with a click-lock system (Uniclic), meaning no glue, no nails, and no headaches. Whether you’re going DIY or working with a professional, installation is quick and clean.

Compressed bamboo flooring is denser than oak and built to last. It resists dents, scratches, and wear, making it ideal for high-traffic homes, families, and pets.

Bamboo naturally stays warmer underfoot than tiles or concrete and doesn’t feel as cold in winter — ideal for Kiwi homes.

We used the compressed Bamboo panels to make our kitchen bench and is was an incredible product. Extremely hardwearing and it looks amazing. Our joiner who put it together was also blown away by the panels, he loved the sustainability aspect of it and also the fact it is a New Zealand company. We also made a coffee table, laundry bench, chopping boards and multiple shelves with the off cuts.
Excellent product we are very happy with our new deck
I just thought I’d give you an update on my DIY X-treme deck.OMG! It is sooooo easy to install and every component feels premium. The fixing clips have been very well design and result in a firm fixing solution whilst the edge clips give a truely hidden system. The “pro-tip” of silicon adhesive is also easy to apply but obviously I wont be able to tell if it makes a difference because I’m not going to hear any movement. The X-treme bamboo cuts beautifully and its so easy to get clean sharp bevels. I have attached a couple of progress photos for your interest but will get some final photos to you once the landscaping has been completed. I just wanted to thank the Plantation Bamboo team so much for your help in getting to this point, your customer service, thank you.
Steve was on top of things and gave me good advice about the bamboo flooring product we ended up buying. Hi prices are competitive. The delivery took two days and the finished floor looks stunning. We are very happy.
Great product, very durable and stable in the elements especially round pools. Quick and easy to install. We recommend for all out new deck builds. RBB Construction.
We had a great experience with plantation bamboo and their products. We used their bamboo flooring and found it easy to install and it looked great when finished. Would definitely recommend.
Great company to deal with. Ingrid was super helpful and informative. Shipping and logistics was professionally handled. Final product is invoking many envious looks from friends and family. Flooring is very hard wearing and resistant to dog claws.
I am thrilled with plantation flooring I had installed. The company were very friendly and professional during all interactions, answering any questions and queries promptly.
We’re thrilled with Plantation Bamboo. Steve was great to deal with, the provided info was comprehensive & really helpful. Our deck looks beautiful, we love the having no screws visible because of the clever clip system. Brilliant product!
Love the bamboo deck we have built! We wanted something that would cope with quite intense summer sun and it is working well. Great product to work with and excellent team behind it making sure we had all the information we needed. Highly recommend you check out Plantation Bamboo!
Highly recommend Plantation Bamboo. Fantastic service and product. We decided to put bamboo flooring throughout our whole house due to allergies. We love it. Thank you Ingrid and the team!
We are installing the bamboo extreme onto 2 decks. First one is nearly complete and second one still in the framing stage. So far we are loving it. Great to work with, looks amazing and so lovely not to see all those fixings. Based on my sums, I dont think there's any difference in price between the cost of Plantation Extreme Bamboo (which is supplied with hidden fixing clips) and Kwila with fancy decking screws. You can also rest easy with the knowledge that your deck is not made from the products of unsustainable and possibly illegal kwila deforestation (only found out about that when trying to buy kwila furniture to go onto the deck). Ill try to remember to add some pics when its all complete. A 25 years warantee is also piece of mind given one of the 2 decks is an exercise in board replacement after the old pine was cracked and slumped between the joists after about 20 years.
We are thoroughly delighted with our coffee bamboo flooring, extreme decking, and bamboo panel kitchen bench. It looks beautiful, wears really well, is easy to clean, and the flooring and decking were incredibly easy to install. We love it's sustainability profile and it's very competitive pricing. We highly recommend this product
Had a really positive experience getting our flooring ordered, delivered and installed. We were also recommended an installer who did a great job and really did the product justice. We’re incredibly happy with how the flooring looks in our place! Can’t recommend enough.
We have had an excellent experience with Steve and Plantation Bamboo. We went with the builder and had a look at Steve's Plantation Bamboo deck before we purchased. The builder likes it as he is able to get very precise joins. Very responsive, quick delivery. Nice product.
Very happy with Plantation Bamboo decking - looks great and quick & easy to install. Recommended. Steve more than helpful with planning, order & delivery.
Rich-looking, thick, hard wood flooring, easily laid if prepped properly. Price reasonable compared with other flooring options like tiles or carpet. It suits our overall decor so we're very satisfied with it.It was easy to order through Steve Roughan, was held in storage for us at no extra cost until our new-build was ready for it, and then delivered as arranged.
Plantation Bamboo in Otaki provided the bamboo decking for our recent building project.Plantation Bamboo's 25-year warranty made it an attractive option. The final result is stunning, with a sleek and seamless appearance thanks to the straight and true nature of the bamboo boards and the hidden fixings.Steve Roughlan, the owner of Plantation Bamboo, was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. He was prompt in his communication and delivery, and he gladly answered our questions both during and after the sale.Based on our positive experience, I highly recommend Plantation Bamboo for your decking needs.
Super easy to install with the quick clip fasteners - no need to drill holes or screw into the boards. Looks fantastic, 6 months since deck install and super happy with it. No splinters. Company easy to deal with and delivery no problem
We've ordered bamboo decking on 3 different projects at our home over the last 5 years. I couldn't speak more highly of Ingrid and this company! The product is beautiful, and the customer service is fantastic! I highly recommend!!!
We found this product whilst googling for an eco friendly bamboo product to use on our deck at our bach. We wanted easy installation, good coloring and hard wearing. I'm happy to say this product ticks all the boxes! Communication from the sales team was great and collection from the depot was straightforward. Highly recommend this product, A++
Fantastic Product - Efficient Team
Wonderful job done by Plantation Bamboo.The installer was awesome as was our agent.
These guys were amazing, it was a last minute decision to use their product and they worked hard with us to ensure we got the product and talked through the installation with our builder. It has created a fantastic finish to our newly installed heated pool in our holiday park.
We have just had coffee bamboo laid in our entrance hall, kitchen and living room. It replaced tiles (20 years old) from our entrance hall and kitchen and 20 year old carpet from our living room.Very pleased with the result, the communication and advise from Steve. Would recommend Bamboo Plantation.
It’s not the first time that I approached Plantation Bamboo for projects I designed. This month once again I find an excellent team that is ready to provide high quality products and provide solutions in real time and always quick to respond and help. Specifically I would like to mention Eveliene Grbich, Area Sales Manager, that went above and beyond to provide a wonderful experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We have just completed our deck using Plantation Bamboo and cannot speak high enough about the Extreme decking. It was easy for our contractor to lay and looks amazing. Dealing with Steve and the plantation team has been simple and they have been there to answer any questions. Thanks Steve and we look forward to enjoying our new deck for many years to come.
Thanks to the Plantation Bamboo team for an amazing hassle free experience.Especially Ingrid, our South Island manager who promptly answered our questions, sorted our dimensions and made the whole exercise easy.Highly recommended product that looks fabulous on our 52sq m deck so easy to install. Love it!!
As a non-builder, the prospect of replacing our deck covering was a little daunting. After looking at a range of options, I opted for Bamboo X-treme decking and I doubt that I could have made a better choice. Josh at Plantation Bamboo was great to deal with being both helpful and responsive. The product was easy to work with and I completed the job reasonably quickly with my wife and son taking turns to help out. The completed deck looks and feels as good as I could have imagined.
Awesome product and great customer service. Wears extremely well in Southland conditions and weathers with a nice look. Easy to clean when marked.

Frequently Asked Questions

We answer the most popular questions asked about our Bamboo Flooring. Still have a question? Contact Us >

 

General

Bamboo flooring is made from fast-growing, rapidly renewable bamboo – from the giant “Moso” bamboo species. Engineered for strength and sustainability, it offers a natural, timber-like feel that is incredibly hard and durable.

Yes. Plantation Bamboo flooring is made with the ideal 8-10% moisture content for NZ conditions, ensuring excellent stability across seasons.

Compressed bamboo flooring (also known as “Strand-woven bamboo”) is one of the hardest flooring types available—more than twice as hard as oak timber flooring. It resists denting and is ideal for both homes and light commercial use.  See the “Janka” hardness rating, compared to timbers here.

Bamboo Elite flooring is not as hard as compressed bamboo flooring, but it’s still harder than Oak timber.

Choose from Natural, Coffee (carbonised), and Vanilla (Whitewashed) tones, in a low-gloss water-based polyurethane finish (for the compressed bamboo flooring), or natural and coffee colour in the Bamboo Elite flooring option. All of our bamboo flooring has a click-lock join on all four edges, ensuring the boards fit snugly together.

Bamboo is a natural product, so some variation from board to board, box to box can be expected. It is advised to mix boards from multiple boxes to create a pleasing, random appearance – all part of the beauty of bamboo.

Yes, bamboo flooring is considered “pet friendly” and well suited to normal family life.  As the flooring is so hard it can generally handle dogs and pets running/sliding around on it without issue. This customer quote and photos says it all:

“We were a bit sceptical about how well it would hold up with our dog. He is rather big and often hyper!! But no matter how much he skids around he still hasn’t scratched the surface! Amazing really. All in all we are very pleased with the product and would recommend this to anyone!”

Tammy, Nelson

bamboo flooring is suitable for dogs and pets

We source all of our bamboo products through our partner, MOSO Bamboo (moso.eu) – a Dutch world-leader in innovative bamboo solutions. MOSO contracts the best factories in China to make our bamboo flooring to strict European standards, in line with our New Zealand climatic conditions.  There are over 7 million hectares of bamboo grown in China.

Sustainability

Absolutely. Bamboo is harvested on a 4–6 year cycle and regrows without replanting. As the fastest-growing plant on earth, it’s highly renewable and ideal for eco-conscious projects.

Yes — MOSO Bamboo’s products are supported by independent impact studies and eco-label certifications, including BREEAM, LEED and others.

No. The Moso bamboo species used in our products is not a part of the panda’s natural diet, so there’s no conflict with their habitat.

Bamboo absorbs more CO2 during its growth than it emits during production and transport, making it a carbon-negative building material — a big win for climate-conscious consumers.

Installation

Yes. Plantation Bamboo flooring uses a DIY-friendly click-lock system, so that the boards can lock firmly together on all four edges.  We have good installation instructions and a video guide available on this web page. For glued installations or complex layouts, a professional flooring installer is recommended.

  • Floating: Boards click together and sit on top of an underlay, “floating” – where the weight of the floor holds it down (cheaper, quicker and easier to install, or remove). The vast majority of customers prefer to float their bamboo flooring in New Zealand (we estimate over 95%).

Please see the important points to consider and prepare for in this homeowner/builder checklist

  • Glued: Fixed to the subfloor with adhesive (firmer feel, more permanent).
    Each suits different preferences and site conditions.

Yes, if installing the bamboo as a “floating” floor. Use acoustic and moisture-resistant underlay—especially over concrete—to improve comfort, insulation, and performance. We have two options of underlay available.

Yes. Both compressed bamboo flooring and bamboo elite flooring can be professionally sanded and refinished multiple times, depending on wear and depth.  It is estimated that sanding wouldn’t be needed until after 15-20 years of use, depending on wear and tear of the floor.

Use a soft broom, vacuum, or damp microfiber mop with a neutral pH cleaner. Avoid excess water and steam mops.

Minor scratches can often be buffed out with Rice Bran oil or walnut oil. Deeper gouges in the bamboo flooring can be treated/filled with a wax wood filler, such as “Briwax wax filler sticks”. It is recommended to have felt pads on the feet of chairs and furniture to reduce the likelihood of scratching.

Our bamboo flooring has a wax coating on the joins, to help seal the boards and reduce friction when walked on. Normally there are no creaking noises when the flooring is walked on, unless the sub-floor is not level or has bumps in it, causing floorboard movement. Movement/friction of the boards leads to squeaking/creaking noises.

Yes. Matching stair nosings are available for our three compressed bamboo flooring options (in natural, coffee and vanilla colours). The nosing profile looks like this, and connects to the bamboo flooring:

Also, our bamboo panels can be custom-fabricated into stair treads – see photos in gallery here.

Durability

Yes, but it’s not fully waterproof. The bamboo flooring has multiple layers of sealer and polyurethane to protect it. Wipe up spills promptly. Installation in bathrooms is not recommended unless carefully managed (well-ventilated, caulking between boards). The warranty does not include bathrooms.

 

Yes. Kitchens would be one of the most popular rooms to have bamboo flooring – see lots of photos in our galleries here. Ensure good ventilation and avoid any pooling of water. For kitchens, install cabinetry first and flooring after for best results.
We have had our bamboo flooring tested to meet E3/AS1 requirements (of the NZ Building Code), and have a joint sealer product available, called “Unika ClicSeal” for completely sealing the flooring near water sources, if required (a requirement of E3/AS1). More info on E3/AS1 here.

As with most timber floors the severity of the flood will dictate the damage to your bamboo flooring. Generally, if there is significant flooding, the floor will most likely need to be replaced (most often via an insurance claim). However, the waxed board edges and the polyurethane finish around the board, offer some water resistance if water is cleaned up promptly.

All timber floors respond to environmental changes. Exposure to extreme temperatures and humidity can negatively affect your bamboo floor’s overall performance. Plantation bamboo flooring is manufactured with around 8-10% moisture content (to suit New Zealand’s climate). It is recommended that air humidity level for bamboo flooring to perform at its best is between 40-65% relative humidity.

Only if poorly installed or exposed to excess moisture (a moisture imbalance between the top and bottom of the flooring causes cupping, which is quite rare). Always allow proper acclimatisation, use moisture barriers, and follow install guidelines.

Yes – if temperature remains below 27°C and the system is regulated. Refer to Plantation’s underfloor heating guide.

Yes. It’s great for allergy sufferers — easy to keep dust-free without harsh chemicals (a “low VOC” flooring option).

We offer a 25 year warranty for residential and 10 years for commercial use. See the warranty terms here.
