When we decided to use compressed bamboo from Style Plantations as a floor it was mainly on the basis that this was a material made from a fully renewable resource. Now that the team has finished installing on the upper level the look is fantastic. As the floor is fully glued in place there is not a nail in sight. This matches with the Deck-Max system we used for the decking. We ended up with expanses of decking without a nail in sight. Check out the floor for yourself.

 To match the natural timber look of the place we specified a natural black butt staircase. So that the structure looked light we opted to have the stair treads open. We knew that this would look good. The joiners came to the site and took all of the measurements. This is a “U” shaped stair so the construction was quite complicated. I was a bit skeptical about the process to begin with but John Bennett the builder said that this was the best way and that he had confidence in the joinery team. Well it all worked out perfectly. The stairs arrived on the back of a ute, and just plugged perfectly into place. No adjustment needed.

 We want to use the stairs for physio practice so we will need to work out how to put handrails on both sides. We will also need to put a boom gate on upstairs to avoid nasty accidents with wheel chairs.
