Bamboo isn't hardwood. Don't quote it like it is.
VEVVO handles strand-woven and traditional bamboo, glue-down and floating installs, and the moisture spec bamboo really needs.
Bamboo gets lumped in with hardwood by software that doesn't know better. The customers buying bamboo know better — strand-woven is harder than oak, traditional bamboo is softer than maple, the install method depends on subfloor and humidity. VEVVO lets a bamboo-focused shop quote and run the work the way it actually breaks down.
Strand-woven vs. traditional bamboo as separate services
Strand-woven bamboo (Janka 3000+) and traditional horizontal-grain bamboo (Janka 1300-ish) install differently and price differently. Build each as a service with its own per-sqft rate so the bid reflects what the customer is actually buying.
Glue-down, floating, and nail-down on the catalog
Same product, three install methods, three labor rates. VEVVO lets each install method live as its own service so the quote is honest about the cost difference and the customer picks based on subfloor reality.
Humidity logs per job for callback protection
Bamboo moves with humidity more than oak. Custom job fields capture the install-day humidity and the manufacturer's recommended range, so callbacks about gapping or cupping in year two have data to reference, not just guesses.
Frequently asked questions
How is bamboo different from engineered hardwood in your software?+
Different services in your catalog. The mechanics overlap — install methods, moisture specs — but the products and warranties are distinct, and quoting them as separate services keeps the customer record clean.
Can I track the bamboo's hardness rating per SKU?+
Per-product custom fields capture Janka rating, manufacturer warranty, finish type, and recycled content. The data flows onto the quote for the customers who care.
What about bamboo over radiant heat?+
Per-product compatibility flags handle it. Pair with a custom job field for max floor temp and you have documentation if a homeowner pushes the system above spec.
