Our log cabin has a cement slab (necessary due to budget restraints - not our original choice) but now we have to make a decision on the type of flooring to install in the "great room", hall, and bedroom.
I originally intended to use Brazilian Teak hardwood but the installation may exceed our budget allowance by the time the slab is prepared with sealer, plastic, plywood, and felt. The remainder of the slab will have porcelain tile so the thickness of the plywood/hardwood is also an issue. I am wondering if an engineered bamboo flooring might be better. One of the flooring sites states it can be installed over a slab with just a moisture barrier.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
